Owner: City of Broken Arrow
Developer: City of Broken Arrow

Comp Plan: Level 1 (Rural Residential)
BAZ 1972 is a request to change the zoning designation on a 2.5-acre tract from A-R-1 (Annexed Single Family Residential) to RS-2 (Single-Family Residential). The property is located on the southeast corner of Washington Street and First Place.
The City of Broken Arrow has purchased this property with the intention of constructing a new fire station. This property is zoned A-R-1. Before a property with a transitional annexed zoning designation, such as A-R-1, can be developed, the zoning must be updated to an appropriate conventional zoning.
Public Safety facilities such as fire stations are allowed in any zoning district. However, to be in compliance with the comprehensive plan and to meet the minimum building setback requirements needed in association with this property, RS-2 zoning is being sought.
Previously, there was a single family home on this property that has since been removed. The lot is currently undeveloped. Applicant intends to plat the property if their rezoning request is approved.
