   Sep 14, 2023 · Houston does not have a traditional zoning code and instead regulates local land use through a system of citywide ordinances. In 1998, policymakers approved an ordinance to allow building on smaller lots, reducing the minimum lot size in the urban core from 5,000 square feet to 3,500 square feet—or to 1,400 square feet for parcels meeting certain standards for open space.

   The biggest difference, of course, is the lack of zoning — but what that really means in Houston is that there is no zoning for use. Under the city’s development code, no parcel of land is restricted for any particular land use, and in many cases, there are no density or height restrictions either.

   Apr 29, 2021 · April 29, 2021, 12:00 PM PDT. By James Brasuell @CasualBrasuell. Yes, Houston is one of the most populous cities in the United States, and it's also the only city among the largest in the country to lack a zoning ordinance. But, despite a few obvious exceptions, Houston really isn't that much different than other U.S. cities.

   Is Houston a city without zoning?

   • It’s the first thing any planner — indeed, almost any person — asks about when they ask about Houston. A city without zoning, however, isn’t necessarily a city without planning. Or without a frustrating development code. Or, in a certain way, even without zoning. The story of Houston’s land-use policies is a lot more complicated than “no zoning.”
