On June 24, 2025, City Council adopted an ordinance establishing a special minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet for the 1200 block of Cavalcade Street (north side, between Cochran and Gano Streets). This block‐wide standard was initiated by the owner of tracts 8C, 9A, and 10 in the Ryon subdivision at 4807 Gano Street, with 74% owner support and no protests filed. The Planning and Development Department determined no further review by the Houston Planning Commission was required, and notified all property owners in advance. The ordinance codifies the block’s minimum lot size to preserve existing character and guide future development.
