The Houston City Council adopted an ordinance establishing a Special Minimum Lot Size of 3,550 square feet for the 600 block of East 16th Street, encompassing both north and south sides between Oxford and Blount Streets. This action was initiated by the property owner of 615 East 16th Street, Lots 13-16, Block 112, in the Houston Heights subdivision. The application for the Special Minimum Lot Size Block (SMLSB) designation included support from owners representing 55% of the block. The Planning and Development Department notified all property owners, and no protests were filed within the 30-day period. Consequently, the application was submitted directly to the City Council for consideration without requiring action from the Houston Planning Commission.
