Cite 32 was edited by William F. Stern and Bruce C. Webb. In their article, "Houston-Style Planning: No Zoning but Many Zones," they write:
The defeat of Houston's comprehensive zoningreferendum in fall 1993 dealt a serious blow to the ambitions of the city's Planning and Development Department. By nullifying the extensive work that had gone into preparing the ordinance, voters deprived the planners of the public authority necessary to bring about comprehensive planning and instead left the city with a vast, inchoate collection of poorly coordinated development ordinances. It also left neighborhoods that lacked viable deed restrictions unprotected from intrusive and incompatible development. On the other hand, this setback has given the city another chance to devise an approach that better responds to the needs of a metropolis that is by now a complex matrix of interrelated sprawl rather than a conventionally planned city of large, homogeneous, and easily zoned blocks.
