Background:

Developer: None
Surveyor: Mickey Blackwell, Land Surveyor
Location: One-quarter mile west of Elm Place and one-third mile north of Jasper Street
Size of Tract 2.58 acres

Comp Plan: Level 1 (Rural Residential)
BAZ-2002 is a request to change the zoning designation on a 2.58-acre parcel from A-R-1 (Annexed Single-Family Residential) to RS-1 (Single-Family Residential). The unplatted property is located one-quarter mile west of Elm Place and one-third mile north of Jasper Street at 16547 E. 127th Street South. In conjunction with BAZ-2002, BAL-2031, a request for a lot split on the property associated with the rezoning request, has also been submitted.
This property was annexed into the City of Broken Arrow on May 20, 2002, by Ordinance No. 2446. A 50-foot wide roadway easement has been provided along 127th Street, but no utility easement has been provided. According to the FEMA maps, none of the property is located within a 100-year floodplain area.
Since 2009, there have been four other requests (BAZ-1831, BAZ-1849, BAZ-1901 and BAZ-1910) to change the zoning on properties in this neighborhood from A-R-1 to RS-1. In each of these requests, the City Council has waived the platting requirements and waived the sidewalk requirement. There are no sidewalks on the interior of this neighborhood.
On August 8, 2015, Document #2015075824 was recorded in Tulsa County amending the protective restrictions to change the minimum lot size from 1.5 acres to 1 acre. While the City cannot enforce private covenants, the proposed lot split submitted in conjunction with this rezoning request, meets the minimum lot size requirement of the covenant.
Surrounding land uses and zoning classifications include the following:
North: A-1 One single family residence
East: A-R-1 One single family residence
South: A-R-1 One single family residence
West: A-R-1 One single family residence
The property is designated as Level 1 in the Comprehensive Plan. The RS-1 zoning requested with BAZ-2002 is considered to be in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan in Level 1.

Recommendation:

As per the other rezoning cases in this neighborhood, Staff recommends that platting and the requirement for sidewalk construction along the property frontage be waived.
