TONING PUBLIC HEARING 55 TCZ -134 REFERRAL - Dean <& Don Lowe The applicants request rezoning of a 9.29 vacant parcel of land located in the Owasso fenceline from AG to CS commercial The parcel is located Q mile west of the SW /c of 116th Street; North and Garnett (Hwy. 169) on the south side, The tract: is surrounded on the south and northwest by single-family homes Owasso Planning Commission Minutes May 9, 1,985 Page 2 and lots zoned RS-3. To the east is a church zoned AG. To the north and west lie vacant land zoned AG agricultural, The proposed uses are commercial businesses and restaurants. The Owasso Comprehensive Plan recommends low intensity residential land use as appropriate for this area, The proposed rezoning clearly would be both spot zoning and strip zoning® The Comprehensive Plan's policies strongly support locating commercial and other higher 4n- tensity land uses at the intersections of arterial streets and not locating them infh—ernfidl—e —ofthe square mile where they will encourage other non-residential uses to locate there. Commercial businesses stripped out along the mile arterial are incentives for additional curb cuts, additional stop-and-go traffic which greatly interferes with traffic flow and additional noise and other negative impacts on near- by residential areas. The proposed rezoning abuts existing residential neighborhoods. The request is not in accord with the Comprehensive Plan, The property is suitable for residential uses, If zoned RS-3, approximately 45 homes could be built on the 9 acres (5.12 units per acre), With a good design, the homes would be protected from traffic along the arterial street (116th St. North). There is currently a good stepped-down of less intense land uses from the intersection west. RMH (mobile home) zoning buffers the CS zoning on the corner, A church zoned AG abuts the RMH zoning. This is a good and effective border and buffer to protect less intense residential uses in the interior of the neighborhood from commercial uses on the corner. Staff recommends that the Owasso Planning Commission recommend to the TMAPC denial of the proposed rezoning for the above stated reasons,, Mr. and Mrs, Carol White, abutting property owners to the west, asked several questions about the proposal saying they were not for or against; the application, but just wanted to listen, The 1. owes applicants, stated that they wished to develop the property as "low intensity" commercial uses-such as restaurants and auto parts store, They stated they had no specific plans or offers so far. Wayne Vines spoke in support of the application saying that 116th Street North would be four -laved one day and that the area needed more commercial development,, Commissioners discussed the application, zoning requirements, the compre- hensive plan, other nearby development and traffic problems with the applicants and the Whites. Commissioners asked staff questions about the evaluation. After additional discussion among commissioners concerning location of the property, E. Henry moved to recommend that the TMAPC deny the application, J. Buchanan seconded the motion, Owasso Planning Commission Minutes May 9, 1935 Pace 3 Aye: Henry, Buchanan, Day and Haynes, Nay: None, Motion carried 4-0 -0. SUBDIVISION REVIEW 6. Elm Creek Commercial Corner Amended Staff reviewed the case history: This amended plat is being processed to correct errors on the original plat of record.
