Approval of BAZ-1963, 2.59 acres, A-RE to RE, one-quarter mile west of 23rd Street, one-half mile north of New Orleans Street
End
Background:
BAZ-1963 is a request to change the zoning designation on 2.59 acres from, A-RE (Annexed Residential Estate) to RE (Residential Estate). This unplatted property is located one-quarter mile west of 23rd Street, one- half mile north of New Orleans Street.
This property was annexed into the City of Broken Arrow on November 9, 2001 (Ordinance No. 2398) with the zoning designation, A-RE. There is an existing single-family structure on this property. The applicant proposes a lot split on this property; however, the property must be rezoned (to be in conformance with the current zoning code) before a lot split application can be submitted.
In their meeting of September 8, 2016, the Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval (5-0 vote) of BAZ-1963. The Planning Commission fact sheet said Staff recommends platting of this property be waived, provided a 17.5-foot utility easement is provided. During this meeting, Staff advised the Commission that the property was evaluated further and felt that a utility easement is unnecessary. There was one protestant who voiced opposition to the surrounding area being RE, as the property was believed to be Agriculture.
