Background:
Planned Unit Development (PUD) 253 and BAZ-1965, a request to rezone this property from Residential Multifamily (RM), Single-Family Residential (R-2), Commercial Neighborhood (CN), and Commercial Heavy (CH) to Industrial Light (IL) and PUD-253, involve 13.20 acres located north of Kenosha Street and one- quarter mile east of Elm Place. A portion of the property to the south is an existing retail business, the rest of the property is undeveloped. On June 18, 2012, the City Council conditionally approved BACP-123, a request to change the Comprehensive plan designation on 6.51 acres from Level 2 (Urban Residential) to Level 6 (Regional Employment/Commercial), subject to platting and the property being developed through the PUD process.
The applicant is proposing to construct a mixed-use development consisting of an existing retail shop fronting Kenosha Street, storage units to the north and three office buildings on the east side of the property. A public street, Main Street North, will divide the property from Kenosha Street to the City of Broken Arrow Storm Water Detention Facility to the north.
PUD-253 describes dividing the property into Development Areas A, B, and C with a public street being constructed between development areas A/C and B. The only permitted use in Development Area A, which is on the west half of the property, is mini-storage with an accessory-use office building. Development Area B is on the east side of the proposed, new public street. This area is proposed to be developed for office use only. Development area C is on the west side of the proposed, new public street and south of Development area A. This area is proposed to remain for retail use as allowed by the Commercial Neighborhood (CN) District.
PUD-253 was reviewed by the Planning Commission in their meeting of November 17, 2016 and recommended for approval (5-0 vote), per the Staff report. Four people spoke on this item voicing concerns about drainage, privacy, lighting, and concern that this land use is acceptable; however, not the best return of money for the investor and City.
