Review and discussion of proposed draft of the Downtown Residential Overlay District Design Standards and associated changes to Table 3.1-1 and Section 5.8.D of the Broken Arrow Zoning Ordinance
End
In 2016, the City of Broken Arrow contracted with ADG and Winter and Company to prepare design standards for residential development within the area located between Kenosha Street and Houston Street, and between Elm Place and 9th Street. The Downtown Residential Overlay District (DROD) they have prepared is intended to continue the implementation of the Downtown Master Plan by promoting compatible, high quality mixed uses and residential design in this area. During the course of the project, two public workshops (December 2016 and May 2017) were conducted along with several meetings with Staff and stakeholders in the area.
ADG and Winter and Company have completed a draft document. This document is intended to be incorporated as supplement to the Zoning Ordinance. Section 5.8.D of the Zoning Ordinance currently references the Downtown Residential Overlay (DRO) District. This section will be modified to incorporate the Downtown Residential Overlay District as a supplement to the Zoning Ordinance.
The Downtown Residential Overlay District divides the overlay area into seven areas - Residential 1, Residential 2, Residential 3, Residential 4, Rose District Transition, Commercial/Mixed-Use Core, and Commercial/Mixed Use Corridor. The design standards are split into nine categories - Single Family A (Traditional), Single-Family B (Mid Century), Two Family, Cottage Court, 3-Plex/4-Plex/Mansion Apartment, Rowhouse, Flats, Mixed-Use A (Neighborhood) and Mixed-Use B/Commercial. The design variables for each of the nine Building Forms are divided into four categories - Lot, Site, Building Form, and Building Activation.
