Rice Village Shopping Center At 2400 University Blvd.
At the risk of putting my cynicism on full display, I'm calling BS on this. I can't speak to the condition of 2507 Times, but I find it hard to believe that 5607 Morningside did "not meet current requirements for occupancy" when its sole reason for closure was the pandemic, and it has been vacant since then. Exactly what changed in the interim to render it a neighborhood menace comparable to the befanged Ashby High-Rise Monster? Rice seems to have gotten in the habit of relying on the time-tested appeal to health and safety as a figleaf to tamp down criticism when they're intent on razing buildings and they know that such actions won't be welcomed by everyone. Wish I'd known about the memorabilia auction before it took place. At least they're donating the proceeds to a reputable charity, although if they are referring to the "original signage" that I think they are, I'd have preferred that particular piece of memorabilia to be given back to the general manager who designed and created it.- mixed-use

4107 McKinney St
Their plat was approved, but there was a requirement to dedicate 16' to McKinney (due to being called out to being an 80' ROW on the MTFP) and 5.85' to Oakhurst. They are asking for a variance to not dedicate and the adjust the building line as the dedication would have them dedicate roughly half the building to the city.
