Livable Places Action Committee
Project Introduction
The Livable Places initiative is a continuation of the Planning Department’s effort to update portions of Houston’s development codes to create more opportunities for walkability, affordability and equity. Following the Walkable Places and Transit-Oriented Development Ordinances Committee’s work, the Livable Places Action Committee will focus on rules that encourage the development and preservation of affordable, quality housing for all. It will also focus on creating opportunities for increased infill development that will strengthen Houston’s core, encourage use of multi-modal transportation options, improve safety, and preserve great neighborhoods. This effort is the next step the Department will take to realize the community’s preferences identified through action steps in several previous planning efforts such as Plan Houston, Resilient Houston, and others. The Houston Planning Commission convenes this committee to create regulatory changes to the City’s development codes that help implement Houston’s vision and goals.
