In his Move It column today, Rad Sallee reports on the Envision Houston Region workshop that took place at the University of Houston over the weekend.
Local anti-zoning activist Barry Klein is quoted in the story:
Barry Klein, president of the Houston Property Rights Association, said he is both “hopeful and apprehensive” about such exercises.
“I expect to see recommendations for some land-use codes to be relaxed, which is good from the point of view of a property-rights advocate,” Klein said. “But I also worry that we will see suggestions for new controls on property owners to try and push growth next to rail stations.
“That, of course, brings up the prospect for zoning, which our group successfully led the fight to oppose,” he noted.
More information on the workshops is available on the Envision Houston Region website.
