BAZ-2038 is a request to change the zoning designation on 53.55 acres from A-1 (Agricultural) to RS-3 and RS-4 (Single-Family Residential). The unplatted property is located on the southeast corner of Garnett Road (113th East Avenue) and Tucson Street (121st Street).
In conjunction with this rezoning request, the applicant has submitted a preliminary plat for this development. The applicant proposes to develop this site as a mix of RS-3 and RS-4 single-family dwellings. The slightly larger, RS-3 lots are proposed abutting the existing RS-3 development to the east and in a section abutting a proposed reserve area on the westernmost portion of the site. The smaller RS-4 lots are proposed in the center of the development as shown in the attached exhibit.
Surrounding land uses and zoning classifications include the following:
North: A-1 and AG (Tulsa County) Large Lot Single-Family Homes
East: A-1 and RS-3 Power Station and Single-Family Residential Homes
South: A-1 Large Lot Single-Family Homes
West: AG (Tulsa County) Undeveloped
The westernmost portion of this property is located in the 100-year floodplain of Haikey Creek. As per the Subdivision Regulations, the 100-year floodplain has been placed in a reserve area. In addition, the USGS maps show a water area. This area has also been placed in a reserve area. Staff recommends that the area of the property located in the 100-year floodplain be designated as FD (Flood District).
Water and sanitary sewer service to this site is available from the City of Broken Arrow.
The Future Development Guide of the Comprehensive Plan adopted by the City Council in September of 2019 shows this area as Level 2 and Greenway/Floodplain. The RS-3 and RS-4 zoning being requested is considered to be in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan in Level 2.
