Dear District K Friends:
As we move through another busy month across our city, I remain committed to keeping our residents informed, engaged, and connected to the issues, projects, and opportunities shaping our communities.
From neighborhood development discussions including infrastructure improvements, vital public health awareness and updates on community engagement initiatives, District K continues to grow and evolve in so many meaningful ways. Progression often brings important conversations and temporary inconveniences, but it also creates opportunities for collaboration, advocacy, and long-term investment into the future of our neighborhoods.
This end of month update shares info keeping you informed on several ongoing projects and health advisories with community resources that may directly impact you and your family
As always, your voice, participation, and continued partnership remain essential as we work together to strengthen the quality of life across of all things within District K. Please know that we are hoping this encourages you to stay informed, engaged, and continue showing up.
In Service,
Martha

| | Planning Commission Development Updates | | |
We previously shared an opportunity earlier this month within the District K Newsletter to stay engaged and have your voice heard on specific developments happening in and around our community. Residents were encouraged to stay informed regarding the proposed development near the Lakeview RV Resort and Brentwood community.
The Houston Planning Commission held a public hearing concerning Plat Application 2026-0678, Wildcat Industrial, for property located at 222 Holmes Road between Hiram Clarke Road and Buffalo Speedway.
The meeting, held Thursday, May 28, 2026 in the City Hall Annex Council Chamber located at 900 Bagby St. in Houston, Texas, included
property owners within 300 feet of the proposed plat in accordance with Chapter 42 of the City of Houston Code of Ordinances.
Be advised that Mayor Pro Tem Castex-Tatum has submitted a request to Houston Public Works to assist with expediting a request that the developer conducts a geotechnical (geo-tech) survey, an independent environmental assessment along with a contamination testing based on the history of the property at 300 Holmes Road, Houston, TX, if not already done.
