Center from CS (Commercial Shopping Center) to CG (Commercial General). The
subject property is located at 11501 E 76 Street North and is the former location of the
Quik Trip Convenience Store.
Tim presented the item and described the location. The applicant is requesting to rezone
from CS (Commercial Shopping Center) to CG (Commercial General) in order to allow
the sales of pre -owned automobiles. The subject property is currently developed but
vacant. The Board of Adjustment unanimously denied a Special Exception request to use
the property for auto sales without changing the zoning. Staff recommends denial of this
request, due to the fact that there is CG zoning located elsewhere in the community.
Also, this property is a gateway area to the City of Owasso. This use would not coincide
with that of gateway areas as defined in the 2010 Master Plan. Notices were mailed to
surrounding property owners and legal advertisement was published in the Owasso
Reporter. Staff received two phone calls in opposition and one letter (attached). The
Technical Advisory Committee reviewed the request at their May 29, 2002 meeting. Mr.
Jerry Russell, the applicant, was present to answer questions and requested a brief
presentation. He stated that Mays County Chrysler has sales lots in Tahlequah and Pryor
at this time and are doing well. Each lot normally has around 25 cars on the lots with

the Graceland. Acres Addition.
M. L. Jacobsen ._ 7489 Forth 147 East Avenue - Lindsay Management assured us in
1998 that we had no worries regarding the subject property because it will probably never
get developed. Also, inquired sewer availability to this area.
Gary Baxter - 7590 Forth 140 Place East - Had concerns with the good faith agreement
of a PUD (underlying zoning of RS-1) and now trying to change that zoning. Why
approve a PUD if it gets changed? Also had concerns with traffic in the area. The roads
are not growing with the same pace of the developments.

do a great job on this project but has concerns with the traffic it will create. Around 300
more vehicles in the area are just too many.

problem, has nothing against Mr. Sokolosky. She was hoping that there would be

S. Zoi�in ode Amendment Staff Initiated m An amendment to the Owasso Zoning
Code, Chapter 10 - Use Units, Section 1017 Automotive and Allied Activities which
would require mini - storage units to be permitted by Special Exception only in all
commercial zoning districts. Currently, mini - storage units are permitted outright in CG
(Commercial General) and CH (Commercial Nigh Intensity) zoning districts.
Tim introduced the item to the Commissioners and explained that Owasso permits mini -
storage units in CG (Commercial General) and CH (Commercial high Intensity) districts
outright. A change in the zoning code that would require the Board of Adjustment to
approve mini- storage units by Special Exception in all commercial districts is appropriate.
The amendment being proposed by staff would appear to be the appropriate step to ensure
a public review process. Staff is recommending Planning Commission approval on this
request.
Ray Haynes moved to approve the zoning code amendment, Bill Ellison seconded the
motion. A vote on the motion was recorded as follows:
Ray Haynes - Yes

Dcar Owasso Planning Commission Members:
1 regret that I will be unable to attend your scheduled meeting ,tune 10, 2002. Please
accept this letter as ray voice of objection to the request to rezone Lot 1, Block 43
(located at 11501 E. 011 Street North) of Owasso Co _ ercial Center &orn CS
(Commercial Shopping Center) to CG (Commercial General). I do not believe rezoning
this property is in the lest interest of our community.
I understand that a used car dealership is pursuing locating on this property, but caret do
so under current zoning. I also understand why they would desire this location because it
is highly visible, proximal to a major entrance of Owasso, and close to other similar
dealerships where clustering provides for "feeding off ®f each other' However, f ®r the
same reasons, I believe Owasso rest use prudent judgment, through zoning, in the types
of businesses allowed in this prime location.
Sincerely,
Sid Foster
