The City Council adopted an ordinance establishing a Special Minimum Lot Size Block (SMLSB) for the 3000 block of Southmore Boulevard, encompassing both the north and south sides, between Ennis Street and the Columbia Tap Trail. This decision sets a minimum lot size of 5,150 square feet. The application for this designation was initiated by the property owner of 3012 Southmore Boulevard, Lot 4, Block 6 of the Riverside Extension Subdivision, with support from 61% of the block's owners. The Houston Planning Commission reviewed a protested application on March 20, 2025, and recommended the establishment of the SMLSB to the City Council.
