IntheKnowHouston Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 Two days ago, a proposed plat for the property at Lyons Ave and Maury St was submitted to city's planning department. It was reviewed by a planner, but the status as of yesterday is it's awaiting completeness. That means "the application and/or documents did not meet Plat Tracker criteria or required documents are missing," according to the Plat Tracker guide. The subdivision name of the proposed plat is Saint Arnoldville at Lyons Avenue. According to the information submitted, the reserve size is 1.16 acres. Developers are proposing to split the following parcels: 1106 Elysian St 1108 Elysian St 1110 Elysian St 0 Elysian St With the exception of the 0 Lyons parcel, developers are requesting combining the rest into one reserve. Currently, Saint Arnold is utilizing the 1101 Maury St parcel as an off-site parking lot for patrons. I don't know if this property will continue as a parking lot or if there are plans for something else. While there is a topic for the Saint Arnold Brewing Co. at 2000 Lyons Ave, perhaps this property should remain its own topic. https://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/36643-st-arnolds-expansion/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are proposing one unrestricted reserve, so it could be anything. I can't imagine that they are going through the hassle of a replat with a public hearing to keep it as a parking lot. I imagine that they'll plan on building some form of structure here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense and what I was thinking as well. This stretch of Lyons is going to be something else in the next few years. Saint Arnold is already hopping. With the forthcoming redevelopment of the Moncrief-Lenoir property and the addition of Meow Wolf, I am looking forward to whatever else is in store for this area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strickn Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 My knee-jerk reaction is that a good use of this site would be the only thing that could get anyone to justify the expense of a park on that adjacent site anymore, but I have no firsthand understanding of the actual value of having this city park in such a spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
