PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT ® OWASSO ZONING CODE - A City Initiated Request to Amend the Zoning Code of the City of Owasso, Oklahoma, Relating to Chapter 4, Section 430, "Bulk and Area Requirements in Residential Districts." More Specifically, to Allow for Residential Dwelling Units to Exceed 26 Feet in Height, Mr. Rooney presented the report. The Owasso Zoning Code, adopted in 1974, restricts the height of residential structures t® a maximum of 26' (measured fr ®m the ground t® the highest horizontal point of the structure, excluding the chimney). For the past ten years (according to Owasso Planning Commission Minutes of November 189 1993 Page 2 building permit records), the staff has not placed a priority on a strict enforcement of that restriction because until the past three, yes we have not had requests for homes of that size. However, there have been several. instances in the recent past when building permits were approved for residential structures, when in fact, the height of the home exceeded the legal r strict, n, In most of the cases this building erg i.it cither listed an incorrect h i h.t, or the description simply stated "meets code requirements". `fhat, staff has determined that thews exceptions exist in the following subdivisions-. Windsor 1,,-f e, Copper Meadows, and Double Oaks. Generally, the exceptions are not greater, than four feet above the height hunt, however where are few cases where the height of the home is rumor 35' (9' above; the limit), Planning stuff has no objections to homes being permitted at a higher height than 26 feet as denied in the zoning code, provided that the fire department has no concerns. The building permit was denied due to the simple fact that the Zoning Code had 26 feet listed as the highest permitted height. In fact, any application reviewed during the current planning staff's tenure (October 5, 1992 to present) has been denied if the height listed on the application was above 26 feet. Zoning Codes of other municipalities have been reviewed recently in light of this confusion. The City of Tulsa, Broken arrow, and Sand Springs all list the maximum height of a residential structure being 35' in all RS Districts. Maximum height is defined within their zoning erodes in the same manner that the City of Owasso's Zoning "ode defines maximum height. Again, it should be stressed that staff has no objections to a higher height limit providing the fire department's requirements are met. OAK AND A )UIREMENTS IN THE qy STRUCTURE HEIGHT *Residential dwelling structure height is more specifically defined as the vertical distance measured from the average, ground elevation at the building gall to the top of the finished ceiling of the highest habitable floor and that height shall be a maximum of 30 feet. Ray Haynes motioned to approve the amendment of the building height limit as stated above. Gary Fells seconded the motion.
