Sunnyside Landfill Reuse Planning

At a glance

• What: An agreement between the City and the Houston Land Bank for Phase I due diligence and reuse planning for the former Sunnyside Landfill, also known as the Holmes Road Landfill, in District D (Council Member Evans-Shabazz's district).
• Outcome: Pulled from the consent agenda and adopted on October 14, 2026 as Ordinance 2026-0914, all voting aye.

Details

• The minutes do not give a dollar amount or describe discussion. On October 7 a speaker, Harold Scott, was listed on Sunnyside community issues but was not present when called, and the record does not tie that to this item.
