Approval of BAZ-003153-2026, Felkins-Tims Sportsplex, 2.6 acres, IL (Industrial Light) to CH (Commercial Heavy), north of Albany Street (61st Street), one-third mile west of Aspen Avenue (145th E. Avenue)
End
Background:
BAZ-003153-2026 is a request to change the zoning designation on a 2.6-acre parcel from IL (Industrial Light) to CH (Commercial Heavy). The property is located north of Albany Street (61st Street), one-third mile west of Aspen Avenue (145th E. Avenue) at 2800 W. Albany Street. The property is platted as Lot 7, Block 3 Henshaw Industrial Park.
This lot was rezoned to IL via BAZ-405 in 1973. The proposed rezoning to CH would facilitate the conversion of the existing building on the lot to an indoor volleyball facility. This use would be allowed in the IL zoning, but would be limited to a maximum building area of 10,000 square feet. The existing building is 12,000 square feet, so would not support the use in IL without extensive demolition and renovation. CH allows the indoor volleyball use (Fitness and Recreational Sports Center) without the 10,000 square foot maximum.
The proposed development currently has access from Albany Street to the south. The Future Development Guide of the Comprehensive Plan shows the site to be designated as Level 6. The CH zoning being requested is considered to be in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. Water and sanitary sewer service are available from the City of Broken Arrow. According to FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer, some of the north portion of the property is located in the 100-year floodplain.
In their meeting held November 5, 2026, the Planning Commission recommended approval (5-0) of BAZ-003153-2026 per Staff recommendation. Staff recommended that BAZ-003153-2026 be approved with no requirement for replatting. No one signed up to speak in favor or in opposition of this request.
