A vote on the motion was recorded as follows: Charles Willey - Yes Dewey Brown - Yes Bill Williams - Yes The motion carried 3 -0. 4. OZ -03 -11 - A request from Bethel Baptist Church to rezone 5.11 acres from RS -3 to CS. The property is located in the NW corner of 86`' St. N. and Cedar St. in Owasso, Oklahoma. The Chair introduced the item and the staff review was given by Duane Cuthbertson. The purpose of this request is to classify the property for commercial use so that the church may modify their sign along 86' Street North. The rezoning desired is consistent with the commercial pattern established along the north side of 86`' Street North. The rear portion of the property encroaches into a residential neighborhood to the north. If the property were ever to be developed as commercial there would need to be some screening established. Legal notification was published in the Owasso Reporter and notices were sent to property owners within 300' of the property. One phone call was received with concerns regarding development of the lots on the northern section. Staff recommends rezoning Bethel Baptist Church's southern most lot adjacent to 86`'' Street OWASSO PLANNING COMMISSION October 13, 2003 Page No. 2 North to CS and rezoning lots 5 -9 of block 10 in Ator Heights to OL (Office Light). Duane also asked the Commissioners to also consider rezoning the southern most lot adjacent to 86`' Street North to CS (Commercial), Lots 8 and 9, Block 10 to OL (Office Light) and Lots 5, 6 and 7 to remain RS -3 (Residential). Charles Willey suggested a representative from Bethel Baptist Church to approach the podium to explain their intentions. Mr. Bill Stinson gave explanation of the need for the rezoning request. He stated that they have no intentions of selling the property or building on the property to the north. The intentions are to construct a small sign on Lot 9 and to have the ability to modify the existing sign. The following are comments made by several surrounding property owners: Bob Voigt - 302 East 14''' - Does not object to a new sign but would like to see it go before the Board of Adjustment for a variance request. He had concerns regarding the entire plat being zoned commercial and the possibility of the property being sold at a later date. Vernon Beatty - 1301 North Cedar Street - He would like to see a variance granted instead of a rezoning. Bill Williams moved to deny the rezoning request. Mr. Williams stated that he feels this item needs to be presented to the Board of Adjustment for a Variance request. The motion died due to the lack of a second. Charles Willey stated he feels that the southern most lot adjacent to 86`' Street North, should be zoned CS (Commercial). The church is surrounded by commercial property and a commercial zoning is consistent with the Owasso 2010 Land Use Master Plan. He also explained that an OL (Office- Light) zoning is a excellent buffer against residential. Charles Willey moved to table the item until the next Planning Commission meeting, Dewey Brown seconded the motion.
