Approval of rezoning request, BAZ-1961, Crossings at Lynn Lane, 26.95 acres, A-1 to RS-3, one-quarter mile East of 9th Street, North of Washington Street, City of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma
End
Background:
BAZ 1961 is a request to change the zoning designation on 26.95-acres of undeveloped land from A-1 (Agricultural) to RS-3 (Single-Family Residential). This property is located one-quarter mile east of 9th Street, north of Washington Street. The Crossings at Lynn Lane is under development immediately to the north and west of this property and the applicant is in the process of acquiring this property to expand the Crossings at Lynn Lane development onto this property. A revised preliminary plat that includes this property has been submitted with this rezoning request.
This property is designated as Levels 2 and 3 in the Comprehensive Plan. RS-3 zoning is identified as being in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan in Level 2. In Level 3, RS-3 zoning is identified as “possible”. To be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, the proposed RS-3 zoning must be an extension of an adjacent R-2, RS-2, R-3, or RS-3 district and would not preclude access to a potential higher intensity use from an arterial street. The property associated with BAZ 1961 is proposed to be developed in conjunction with the Crossings at Lynn Lane development, which was zoned RS-3, subject to platting. Therefore, the RS-3 zoning proposed with BAZ 1961 is an extension of an adjacent RS-3 district and is considered to be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
The Planning Commission, in their meeting of August 11, 2016, reviewed this application and recommended approval (4-0), subject to the property being platted, as recommended by Staff. There were no protestants.
