sapo2367 Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 My prediction -- surface parking lot 😪 Its like a block from where the new I45 reroute will go so I wonder if whoever buys it will wait for that project to complete before really doing something with the property. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are some folks on here who are loathe to any kind of centralized planning, and especially loathe to slow permitting, but I really wish the the city would adopt a policy (even if it's unofficial and internal) of just delaying the permitting indefinitely for proposed surface parking lots. At least within a short distance of Downtown. It is a severe local climate issue, and absent a land value tax, it's a fiscal issue as well. The city needs to treat all Houston lands (not just those it technically owns) as assets, and surface parking lots are exceptionally unproductive uses of those assets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not legally possible unless the voters approved zoning. It is already in a market-based parking area. As sad as it is, this would be the market working. We are much better off extending market-based parking everywhere and showing that it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the city can be selective like this. what they should do is increase the requirement of ALL parking lots for shade trees being put in. I think they have a specific amount of trees per SF right now, but they should just increase it across the board for everyone. maybe update it within the guise of renewable energy and say you can skip trees if you put in solar panels.
