BAZ-1992 is a request to change the zoning designation on a 40- acre tract of undeveloped land located one-half mile north of Houston Street and one-quarter mile east of Midway Road from A-1 (Agricultural) to RS-3 (Single-Family Residential). Applicant wants to develop approximately 88 single family detached homes on the property.

The applicant owns both properties and has submitted an application to the City requesting to annex the 40-acres directly south of this property in to the city limits and develop it as the second phase of this proposed subdivision. In addition, the property to the east is currently under review for the conditional final plat of Kensington Ridge II which provides access to Houston Street though another existing subdivision. With access provided from the south and east, this property meets the City of Broken Arrow Subdivision Regulations and the International Fire Code.

East: A-1 to RS-1/PUD-262 Single-Family Residential Plat Under Review
South: RS 22.5 Wagoner County Undeveloped
West: RS 22.5 Wagoner County Oak Ridge Single-Family Subdivision
This property is in Level 2 of the Comprehensive Plan. RS-2 is considered to be in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan in Level 2. According to the FEMA maps, none of the property is located in a 100-year floodplain area.
