Background:
Applicant: Preston Bartley, Westwood Professional Services
Owner: Paul Tims, Cale O Tims Wealth Preservation Trust
Developer: Felkins Volleyball Academy
Engineer: N/A
Location: North of Albany Street, one-third mile west of Aspen Avenue
Size of Tract 2.6 acres
Number of Lots: 1
Present Zoning: IL (Industrial Light)
Proposed Zoning: CH (Commercial Heavy)
Comp Plan: Level 6
BAZ-003153-2026 is a request to change the zoning designation for 2.6 acres from IL (Industrial Light) to CH (Commercial Heavy). The property is located north of Albany Street (61st Street), one-third mile west of Aspen Avenue (145th E. Avenue), and is platted as Lot 7, Block 3 Henshaw Industrial Park.
This lot was rezoned to IL via BAZ-405 in 1973. The proposed rezoning to CH would facilitate the conversion of the existing building on the lot to an indoor volleyball facility. This use would be allowed in the IL zoning district, but would be limited to a maximum building area of 10,000 square feet. The existing building is 12,000 square feet, so would not support the use in IL without extensive demolition and renovation. CH allows the indoor volleyball use (Fitness and Recreational Sports Center) without the 10,000 square foot maximum.
The proposed development currently has access from Albany Street to the south. This property is Comprehensive Plan Level 6. Rezoning to CH is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan Level 6. Water and sanitary sewer service are available from the City of Broken Arrow.
