PASSEDHouston City Council · 2026-01-21

The City Council adopted an ordinance renewing a Special Minimum Lot Size designation for several streets in the 3700 block area near Bradley, Watson, Julian, Key, and Pecore Streets. This limits how small lots in that specific block can be subdivided under Houston's land development rules (Chapter 42).

What it means for you

Property owners in this area cannot subdivide their land into lots smaller than the established minimum size, which can affect redevelopment and new construction possibilities on those blocks.
