Consideration, discussion, and possible approval of COMP-03078-2026 (Comprehensive Plan Amendment), Florence Estates, 9.25 acres, Level 4 and Greenway/Floodplain to Level 1 and Greenway/Floodplain), located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Florence Street (111th Street) and 9th Street (177th E Avenue/Lynn Lane)

Background:
COMP-003078-2026 is a request to change the Comprehensive Plan designation from Level 4 and Greenway/Floodplain to Level 1 and Greenway/Floodplain on 9.25 acres that are currently unplatted. The property is located at the southwest corner of Florence Street (111th Street) and 9th Street (177th E Avenue/Lynn Lane).
While property at arterial intersections is typically intended for commercial use, the location of the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment is not likely to develop as commercial. The area is semi-rural, there is floodplain to the east making it unlikely that Florence Street will ever be extended eastward, and there is not an interchange to the Creek Turnpike at 9th Street posing limited access to the site for commercial uses.
Several properties in the vicinity have been developed with large-lot, single-family residences. Should the Comprehensive Plan Amendment be approved, the buyer of the property intends to split the property into two large residential lots. Each lot is proposed to include one single-family residence. In order to do so with Agricultural zoning, the resulting lots will not meet the minimum lot area of five acres. The applicant has provided a conceptual Planned Unit Development (PUD) document that requests a minimum lot size of 3.5 acres. The PUD is informational at this time and will be brought forward for consideration soon.
According to the FEMA maps, a portion of the property is located in the 100-year floodplain. Water and sanitary sewer service are available from the City of Broken Arrow.
The public hearing for COMP-003078-2026 was held during the November 5, 2026, Planning Commission meeting where it was recommended for approval (4-1 vote) per Staff recommendation. No citizens spoke in favor or in opposition to this Comprehensive Plan Amendment request during the hearing.
