BAZ-2110 is a request to change the zoning designation on 9.10 acres from A-CN (Annexed Commercial Neighborhood) to CG (Commercial General). The property is located at the southeast corner of New Orleans Street (101st Street) and 23rd Street (County Line Road). The property was platted in Wagoner County as Tracts 1-10, Elmwood Estates IV Commercial Property on February 26, 1984. Annexation of this property occurred with Ordinance No. 2301 on September 18, 2000. At the time of annexation, the zoning district AC-3 (now A-CN) was assigned to the property.
Since the time the newspaper and public notices were sent, Staff has reviewed the request and found that the eastern portion of the property is designated as Level 1 in the Comprehensive Plan The CG zoning being requested is not permitted in Level 1. Due to these findings, staff recommends that only the portion of the property designated as Level 4 be rezoned to CG at this time. The applicant has been made aware of the situation and is in agreement to request a change to the comprehensive plan designation and zoning on the eastern portion of the property at a later date.

The property is designated as Level 1, Level 4, and Greenway/Floodplain in the Comprehensive Plan. The CG zoning being requested is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan in Level 4, however Level 1 does not support the requested zoning district. The areas currently platted as 194th East Avenue and Tracts 8, 9, and 10 shall not be rezoned as part of BAZ-2110.
According to FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer, a significant portion of the eastern side of the property is located within the 100-year floodplain. This area will be required to be platted as a reserve area and designated as FD (Flood District) at such time that the property is rezoned in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan.

Recommendation:
Based upon the location of the property, annexed zoning designation, and surrounding land uses, Staff recommends that BAZ-2110 be approved only for the tracts currently platted as Tracts 1-7, Elmwood Estates IV Commercial Property, which are located in the area designated as Level 4 in the Comprehensive Plan. This change in zoning shall be subject to the property being platted.
