Chapter 42 Community Meetings

Houston, Texas – The recent adoption of amendments to Chapter 42, the City’s Land Subdivisions, Developments and Platting ordinance, provides residents with additional tools to preserve their neighborhood’s established character. The new tools are intended to preserve existing lot sizes, to retain existing single family character, and ensure that future buildings adhere to existing building lines.

The City of Houston Planning Department is hosting several community meetings in May and June to explain the new tools and how Houstonians can utilize them.
