The City of Houston approved the renewal of the Special Minimum Lot Size Block (SMLSB) for the 900-1100 blocks of W. Gardner Street, covering both the north and south sides. Initiated by the property owner of 1014 W. Gardner Street in the North Norhill subdivision, the application ensures a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet. Notifications were sent to 61 property owners, and no protests were filed, enabling the application to proceed directly to City Council. The renewal maintains the neighborhood's character and lot size standards as established in the original ordinance passed in 2004.
This renewal preserves the character and development standards of the North Norhill neighborhood by preventing densification and maintaining consistent lot sizes, thereby contributing to the neighborhood's stability and aesthetic appeal.
