(*) A pending County Request for Proposal for “Houston Lane Housing Development Project.”
The parcels below were previously included in the 2023 affordable housing inventory. However, after review, it was determined that the parcels lack adequate improved roadway access and necessary utility infrastructure to support residential development and would require substantial infrastructure improvements beyond those typical of residential site development. Based on these constraints, the parcels are not included in the October 1, 2026, affordable housing inventory.
