The Houston City Council adopted an ordinance establishing a Special Minimum Lot Size (SMLSB) of 4,800 square feet for properties on the south side of the 600 block of Ridge Street, located between Reagan Street and N. Sabine Street, within the Woodland Terrace Subdivision. This decision was made on July 8, 2025. The application was initiated by the property owner of 618 Ridge Street, Lot 2, Block 7, and received written support from 59% of the block's owners. The Planning and Development Department mailed notifications to all property owners, and no protests were filed within the 30-day period. Consequently, the application bypassed the Houston Planning Commission and was submitted directly to the City Council for consideration, where it was recommended for adoption by the Planning and Development Department Director, Vonn Tran.
