BAZ-2046 is a request to change the zoning designation on 53.55 acres from A-1 (Agricultural) to RS-3 and RS-4 (Single-Family Residential). The unplatted property is located on the southeast corner of Garnett Road (113th East Avenue) and Tucson Street (121st Street).
In conjunction with this rezoning request, the applicant has submitted a preliminary plat for this development which will be considered by the Planning Commission on February 13, 2020. A previous rezoning request, BAZ-2038, was considered by the Planning Commission on November 7, 2019. The vote for BAZ-2038 tied at 2 to 2, resulting in the de facto denial of the rezoning request.
The new rezoning request, BAZ-2046, is similar to the previous case in that both RS-3 and RS-4 zoning districts are being requested. The difference between these requests is the amount of each district being requested. Initially there was 2.88 acres of RS-3, with a single row of RS-3 lots against Shadow Trails subdivision. With BAZ-2046, the RS-3 area has been increased from 2.88 acres to 22.85 acres and the RS-4 area is decrease from 41.57 to 23.74 acres. The portion of the property which is adjacent to the Shadow Trails subdivision to the east is shown in the exhibit as RS-3.
Surrounding land uses and zoning classifications include the following:
North: A-1 and AG (Tulsa County) Large Lot Single-Family Homes
East: A-1 and RS-3 Power Station and Single-Family Residential Homes
South: A-1 Large Lot Single-Family Homes
West: AG (Tulsa County) Undeveloped
The westernmost portion of this property is located in the 100-year floodplain of Haikey Creek. As per the Subdivision Regulations, the 100-year floodplain has been placed in a reserve area. In addition, the USGS maps show a water area. This area has also been placed in a reserve area. Staff recommends that the area of the property located in the 100-year floodplain be designated as FD (Flood District).
Water and sanitary sewer service to this site is possible from the City of Broken Arrow.
The Future Development Guide of the Comprehensive Plan adopted by the City Council in September of 2019 shows this area as Level 2 and Greenway/Floodplain. The RS-3 and RS-4 zoning being requested is considered to be in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan in Level 2.
A letter of protest was received by the Planning and Development Division on Tuesday, January 21st. The resident who submitted the letter is unable to attend the meeting but would like to object to the proposed development.
