persons integral to operating those specific businesses.
C. All off-street parking lots for any use shall be designed based upon the criteria
listed in this chapter. Any parking lots that are expanded or altered excluding
routine or regular maintenance, shall meet the requirements of this chapter. Any
expansion of any current business by more than twenty five percent (25%) shall

property for the purpose of displaying such automobile, trailer, vessel or any other
type of vehicle for sale, hire, or rental, or for other advertising purposes, unless said
property is zoned by the City for such purpose and the vendor is duly licensed to
transact such business at that location. This prohibition shall not apply to the sale
of a vehicle on private residential property belonging to the owner of any such
vehicle.
9.1.2 DUTY TO PROVIDE AND MAINTAIN OFF-STREET PARKING

flat travel surface. Potholes, large cracks, and pieces of paving that are missing shall be
2

All parking spaces, required ADA improvements, drive lanes, no-parking areas, and all
other required components shall be clearly striped or delineated. All striping shall be
clearly maintained and visible. If striping is faded or becomes removed, it shall be
replaced in the exact layout as approved. Failure to meet these criteria shall be

SUBJECT: Proposed Zoning Code Amendment- New Off-Street Parking Chapter- Chapter
9 of the Owasso Zoning Code
DATE: March 16, 2012
BACKGROUND:
The Community Development Department is currently working on a comprehensive update of
the Owasso Zoning Code. Chapter 9 of the Zoning Code addresses off-street parking
requirements and was identified as one of the key areas needing an update. The current
Chapter 9 lacks a comprehensive approach for the safe development of off-street parking
areas in commercial and residential areas, lacks key information critical to site designers, and is
antiquated in many areas. The new chapter provides the needed updates to the current
Chapter 9 and outlines opportunities for alternative design methods and construction materials.
The information specified within the proposed new parking chapter will facilitate the efficient
design of driveways, aisles, pedestrian walkways, and parking stalls; and promote the safe
movement of traffic in commercial areas. Additionally, these changes encourage the use of
'green' materials and methods establishing Owasso as a progressive and environmentally
responsible community in Oklahoma.
The proposed new parking chapter also proposes language that will provide opportunities and
alternatives to parking situations which have arisen in older portions of Owasso where off-street
parking is limited, forcing some residents to park in yard areas, which are subject to code
enforcement. Much like the recently adopted landscape chapter, these proposed changes
offer a variety of choices for those designing parking areas while at the same time ensuring that
Owasso provides for the health, safety, and welfare of drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
This proposed new chapter complements the principles outlined in the recently adopted Quality
of Life Initiative. Additionally, this chapter provides design alternatives that allow for more
'green' development complementing the 'Go-Green' Initiative. The City of Owasso adopted
the 'Go Green' Initiative in 2009, with a goal of bringing about positive change in the way the
City operates and develops. The language contained within the new proposed Chapter 9
complements the recently adopted Landscape Chapter of the Owasso Zoning Code, works
with existing plans and initiatives and other planned updates of the Owasso Zoning Code.
This new chapter has been taken to the OEDA multiple times for review and input and has been
taken to the Planning Commission twice for their comment. Additionally, this new language has
been available for public review and comment on the City webpage for over forty five (45)
days. The City Council has seen this item at two (2) work sessions as well. All of the comments
and input received have been incorporated into the document presented to the Council for its
review at this meeting.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING CODE:
The proposed amendment to the City of Owasso Zoning Code replaces the existing Chapter 9
with a new Chapter 9, Off-Street Parking.
PLANNING COMMISSION
The Owasso Planning Commission reviewed this item at their regular meeting on February 13,
2012. At that meeting, the Planning Commission made minor language changes and
unanimously recommended approval of the zoning code amendment to the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council approval of Ordinance No. 1002 for the new parking chapter,
replacing the existing chapter 9 of the Owasso Zoning Code.
