PASSEDHouston City Council · 2026-10-13

The city council is renewing a Special Minimum Building Line designation for both sides of the 4400–4500 block of Walker Street, between Eastwood Street and S Lockwood Drive. This rule sets a minimum distance that buildings must be set back from the street on that block.

What it means for you

Property owners on that block of Walker Street remain subject to existing minimum building line requirements, meaning new construction or renovations must maintain the established setback from the street.

Outcome

Adopted — action noted on the official agenda, which assigns Ordinance 2026-0894 but records no vote count. Official agenda of October 13, 2026, with notes of action taken.
