Background:
Planned Unit Development (PUD)-002825-2026 and BAZ-002901-2026 involve a 2.53-acre parcel located one-quarter mile north of Kenosha Street (71st Street), one-third mile west of Aspen Avenue (145th E. Avenue). The applicant is requesting the underlying zoning be changed from RS (Single Family Residential) to RMF (Residential Multi-Family).
This request is proposing to change the zoning on this property from RS (Single Family Residential) to RMF (Residential Multifamily) with PUD-002825-2026. The applicant is proposing a one-lot, one-block multifamily development comprised of 3-bedroom townhomes with attached garages, and a maximum of 29 units is proposed. RMF zoning is allowed in Comprehensive Plan Level 3. The proposed development will meet the requirements of RMF zoning except where modified by the PUD. Access to the proposed development will be provided along West Oakland Place and North Elder Place.

According to the FEMA maps, none of this property is located in the 100-year floodplain. Water and sanitary sewer service are available from the City of Broken Arrow.
The PUD was initially brought before Planning Commission on May 28, 2026, where the item was tabled to allow for the applicant to submit the rezoning request and a new notice to be sent out. In their meeting of June 25, 2026, the Planning Commission recommended approval (4-1 vote) of PUD-002825-2026 and BAZ-002901-2026 per Staff recommendation, which included the following conditions:
1. Specific amenities and features being listed in the PUD to justify qualifying the detention pond as active open space.
2. Correcting “landscape buffer” to “landscape edge” as marked on pages 4 and 6.
3. Development Area A Standards language swapped for “Lot Area” and “PUD Minimum Frontage Along North Elder Place and West Oakland Place” on page 5.
At this meeting, three citizens spoke during the Public Hearing session, and staff read two additional public comments that had been sent by email. Residents’ concerns included increased traffic and physical wear on Elder Place, on-street parking, debris and runoff from the property during construction, and increased density of the site compared to the single-family residential developments on three sides of the property.
