APPROVAL PROCESS
"The Board of Adjustment shall hold the public hearing and, upon the concurring vote of three
members, may grant the Special Exception after finding that the Special Exception will be in
harmony with the spirit and intent of the code, and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or
otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. Provided that the Board in granting a Special
Exception shall prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards, and may require such
evidence and guarantee or bonds as it may deem necessary to enforce compliance with the
conditions attached." — Section 1480.4 Owasso Zoning Code.

The applicant desires to place a shaved ice stand in the parking lot of the shopping center near
the pole sign along the service road at the eastern property line of the unplatted shopping
center. The applicant wishes for the shaved ice stand to be in operation during the warmer
months of the year. A use such as this is essentially a temporary non - conforming use placed on
an existing conforming lot and thus requires approval as a Special Exception from the Board of
Adjustment According to the Owasso Zoning Code.
Letters were mailed to all property owners within three - hundred (300) feet of the subject
property and the request was advertised in the Owasso Reporter. Staff received no objections
concerning OBOA 12 -01.
Typically, with uses such as this, parking and avoiding obstructing drive aisles are usually the
biggest factors that need consideration. There is ample parking that currently serves the
shopping center and the proposed use would use two (2) parking spaces for the placement of
the shaved ice stand, and would require only a few parking spaces for customers. The parking
demand is not great in this center and the parking requirements associated with this use would
not appear to adversely affect the shopping center.
Staff has concluded that the shaved ice stand will not impact public safety and the welfare of
the community.
Staff recommends approval of OBOA -12 -01

"The Board of Adjustment shall hold the public hearing and, upon the concurring vote of three
members, may grant the Special Exception after finding that the Special Exception will be in

ANALYSIS:
The applicant desires to place a shaved ice stand in the gravel parking lot of the vacant
property located at the northwestern corner E. 87th St N and N Garnett Rd. The applicant wishes
for the shaved ice stand to be in operation during the warmer months of the year. A use such
as this is essentially a temporary non - conforming use placed on an existing conforming lot and
thus requires approval as a special exception from the Board of Adjustment according to the
Owasso Zoning Code.
Letters were mailed to all property owners within three - hundred (300) feet of the subject
property and the request was advertised in the Owasso Reporter. Staff received no objections
concerning OBOA 12 -03.
The subject property is vacant for a large portion of the year, with the produce stand only
opening during the warmer summer months. The shaved ice stand will operate in a similar
timeline. There is ample room for parking in the gravel lot that will adequately serve the needs of
both seasonal uses. There does not appear to be any impact to surrounding businesses or
property owners.
Staff has concluded that the shaved ice stand will not impact public safety and the welfare of
the community.
