VOTE COMING UPHouston City Council · 2026-10-07

The City Council is asked to approve an ordinance establishing a Municipal Setting Designation (MSD) for approximately 4.94 acres at 12280–12288 Westheimer Road, which would prohibit the use of groundwater beneath that property and support the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality issuing a formal MSD to MHK Realty of Texas, LLC.

What it means for you

If approved, groundwater beneath this specific Westheimer Road site would be legally restricted from use, and the state environmental agency (TCEQ) would be supported in issuing a designation that typically limits cleanup requirements for contaminated groundwater under the property.

Outcome

Scheduled for the October 7, 2026 council meeting (ORDINANCES (CATEGORY) – NUMBER 3 through 37). No vote has happened yet.
