ACCESS AND CIRCULATION
Access to Development Area A is available from Albany Street. Access to Development Area B shall be through a 25-foot-wide mutual access agreement between the City of Broken Arrow and the owner of Lot 21, Block 1 of the Bentree Subdivision. This document is provided as Exhibit A of the PUD. Due to an existing creek crossing the subject property, access to the arterial street from the south parcel is not viable without a significant investment in a bridge crossing. Once this construction of the sanitary sewer lift station is completed, access to the site will be limited.
The subject property is designated as Level 2 (Urban Residential) in the Comprehensive Plan. (A-1) zoning is not considered to be in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan in Level 2 however, the zoning is existing on this property and fits with the current use. Utility facilities, minor are permitted in the A-1 zoning district.
PUD-001983-2025 was heard by Planning Commission on February 27, 2025, where Planning Commission recommended approval with a 5-0 vote, per staff recommendation. Four neighboring residents ask questions concerning this proposal. Concerns included location, access, noise, height, and smell.
