Council allows Providence Group to build up to 30 model homes in Aberdeen subdivision before final plat approval

Houston City Council approved a modification to rezoning case Z-25-03 on Aug. 21 that permits the Providence Group of Georgia to construct up to 30 model homes in the Aberdeen subdivision before final plat approval, according to council discussion.
The change modifies conditions attached to the original rezoning (Z-23-02) so developers may build model homes ahead of completing the final subdivision plat. Hugh Blackstock, the city planner, summarized the application and said the condition revision concerns the timeline for required road improvements tied to final platting.
A council member moved to approve the amendment, the motion was seconded and the council voted in favor.
The recorded action updates the subdivision’s development conditions to allow a limited number of model homes to be completed prior to final plat approval; the transcript does not record specific contingencies beyond the timeline modification described by the city planner.
