Consideration, discussion, and possible approval of Comprehensive Plan Change request, BACP-158, Roco Properties, 0.56 acres, Level 2 to Level 3, northeast corner of Cedar Avenue and Elgin Street
End
Background:
BACP-158 is a request to change the Comprehensive Plan designation on a 0.56 - acre undeveloped tract of land from Level 2 to Level 3. The property, which is located on the northeast corner of Cedar Avenue and Elgin Street, is currently zoned R-3 and is a part of PUD-241. The property has been platted as Lots 13 - 19, Block 12 of the Original Town of Broken Arrow.
PUD-241, which proposed four single-family detached dwelling units on the property, was approved by the City Council on November 9, 2015. Since the property was already platted, the requirement to replat the property was waived. The applicant is now proposing to construct seven single family attached units on the property. With 0.80 gross acres, four dwelling units are allowed on the property with R-3 zoning. Therefore, to have seven dwelling units on the property, the zoning has to be changed
If BACP-158 is approved, applicant will be submitting a request to change the zoning on the property from R-3 to DF (Downtown Fringe) along with a PUD. A draft PUD and conceptual site plan has been submitted with BACP-158. The draft PUD states that the minimum lot size will be 2,300 square feet and the units will need to cover at least 65 percent of the lot. Five units would be allowed up to the property line along Elgin Street with an attached garage provided at the rear of the unit. Access to the other two units is from the private drive. According to the draft PUD, building height will be limited to two stories or 35 feet.
According to FEMA maps, none of the property is located in a 100-year floodplain area. However, a creek does adjoin the property associated with BACP-158 to the north and east. There is a significant topographical change from Elgin Street down to the creek.
The Downtown Advisory Board reviewed and approved (8-0 vote) of BACP-158, per the Staff report, in their meeting of December 13, 2016. The Planning Commission, in their meeting of December 15, 2016, reviewed and recommended approval of BACP-158 (3-1 vote), subject to re-platting and a PUD be formally submitted that is similar in context to the PUD submitted with this Comprehensive Plan Change request. There were no protestants.
