The City of Houston renewed the Special Minimum Lot Size Block designation for the 700 Block of Ralfallen Street, north and south sides, between Hall Place and Beverly Street. This renewal keeps the minimum lot size requirement of 5,000 square feet, ensuring the area maintains its character and development standards. The application for renewal was initiated by the property owner of 711 Ralfallen Street, and no protest was filed following the notification of 14 property owners in the area. The neighborhood has remained stable since the original ordinance passed in 2004.

Why it Matters

This renewal helps preserve the established character of the neighborhood by preventing lot subdivision that could lead to denser development. It ensures stability in property sizes and contributes to maintaining the overall aesthetic of the area.
