Houston19514 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Never, if parking minimums are kept the same I don't think there are any parking minimums downtown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspwal Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I don't think there are any parking minimums downtown. http://www.houstontx.gov/planning/DevelopRegs/offstreet/docs_pdfs/Chapter26_Ordinance_march_2013.pdf It looks like you're right - the parking minimums are mostly waved for downtown, except for residential buildings. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunstar Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 If I had the option to live and work downtown, I would do it without a car. In theory, everything should eventually be either within walking or biking distance, or accessible by bus or rail. Outside of that I would Uber it. The savings in car payments and gas would be well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 amazing pics and it may be just me but i so wish they would remove those cruise ship red smokestacks...i know that is the point of having them but i think that is the main thing making the building look dated...cannot wait to see the final look though...they are actually making the GRB cool which is something i never thought would happen!

gene Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I wonder what conventions Houston will see now that we couldn't get before. Is there some sort of list of 25 conventions that cities compete for that bring in the most revenue or prestige? great question!!! exciting to think about!

Tumbleweed_Tx Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 not so much conventions, but shows... the Boat show, various Home shows bring in huge crowds. The quilting convention is huge, the high school coaches convention is huge, and the public transportation industry convention probably brings the most business with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
