Background:
COMP-001874-2024 is a request to change the Comprehensive Plan designation from Level 2 to Level 3 on approximately 17.2 acres which is currently unplatted. The property is located approximately one-half mile north of Houston Street, one-half mile west of Evans Road.
This case was previously submitted for review, December 19, 2024, by the Planning Commission as COMP-001874-2024. At that time, the applicant had not provided a draft PUD document or conceptual plans/regulations for this development and the application was denied.
The applicant is requesting this change to the comprehensive plan for the purpose of potential residential development. The request to change this portion of the property to Level 3, is to bring this area into alignment with the existing Level 3 area to the south. The future development of the area would include the entire 57.05 acres.
Pending approval of this amendment to the comprehensive plan, the applicant intends to submit a rezoning request to change the zoning to RM and RD along with a PUD. The conceptual PUD and exhibit provided shows up to 180 single-family style, detached units on most of the property, with up to 24 duplex lots on the southwest portion of the property. The basic information for each is shown on the table below. More details can be found in the attached draft PUD document. Please note that the PUD is a draft only and not being reviewed for approval.
The property also contains Broken Arrow Floodplain along the eastern boundary of the property, providing a significant buffer area from the existing Bel Lago subdivision to the east. This area will be placed in a reserve area during the platting phase of the project.
This item was heard by Planning Commission on April 24, 2025, and was approved with a 5-0 vote per Staff recommendation. Staff recommended approving COMP-002091-2025. Four neighboring residents spoke in opposition to this request. Their concerns included traffic, property values, crime, and rental property maintenance.
