ZONING PUBLIC HEARING
44 OZ.-/i8 Lvnn Burrow
Staff presented case history of the parcel, and indicated that. the tract
is currently vacant. Two streams transverse the tract from NE to SW.
To the east is the Owasso 'High School... and open space zoned AG; to the
south is vacant land zoned RS-3 and CS; to the west is Three Lakes de-
velopment; and to the north is open space, A comparison of existing
and proposed zoning districts was explained by staff.
This property involving approximately 308 acres has been subject to two
previous rezoning requests. Modification in the proposed Mingo Valley
Expressway alignment and a redesign of the site plan for the half section,
has led to a revised zoning pattern.
The existing zoning acreage and the requested zoning acreage are shown
below, Also noted is the theoretical maximum allowable dwelling units
per the existing and requested zoning.

The net effect of the proposed rezoning request would be: to decrease the
RS by 1050 acres; to decrease the RM by 12008 acres; to establish 5042
acres of RD as a buffer between commercial and low density single family
land uses; to decrease the OL by 1.15 acres; to increase the CS by 1848
acres; and to decrease the AG by 1006 acres, Also an additional 6.73 acres
were allotted for the proposed expressway.
Lynn Burrow, an engineer, and the developer for Canterbury Properties were
present to speak in favor of the request. There was no opposition, L.
George questioned the possibility of retaining some RS-I larger -lot zoning,
rather than going all RS--2 and RS-3, to -provide alternative in lot sizes
to Owasso residents; and to respect the steep topography in the west half
of the tract. '.Ly-n.n Burrow explained that the reasoning for proposing
RS-2 zoning was that most of the area. is underlaid with bedrock and to go
with RS-2 zoning would help recuperate expensive developilinet costs -in-
curred. Also, he expressed a concern that there was not that great a
demand for larger lots in Owasso, than what could be provided under RS-2
zoning. Staff noted that Owasso is rather overzoned in RS-3, and to allow
either RS--2 or RS-1 would provide better alternatives to home buyers.
The minimum lot requirements for RS-2 and RS-1 zoning are: 75' frontage
and 9,000 squ fto area.; and 100' frontage and 13,500 sq, ft. -respectively.
C. Carr expressed concern for allowing duplexes across from the high School..
even though the objective to buffer the commercial area from the lower
density residential.. to the north is a good one. lie felt: that duplex housing
might encourage high shcool students to loiter in the area.
Chairman asked for Staff Recommendation which was as follows:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the requested rezoning except for
the CS parcel located at the southeast corner. Staff recommends
modifying the west boundary line of this parcel by moving the
line 55' to the east, to retain a frontage of 935' along 86th
Street North as exists, in an effort to keep the alignment with
the existing CS parcel south of 86th Street North, and to eli-
minate additional commercial zoning at an intersection that is
currently overzoned.
M. flinkle made a motion. to modify the rezoning request, to eliminate the
RD (Residential Duplex) zoning across from the high school; and to move
the west boundary of the CS parcel located in the southeast corner, 55'
to the east. J. Simmons seconded the motion.
For: Co Carr, M. Hinkle, J. Simmons and E. Stevens.
Against: L. George.
Motion Passed 4-1.
5. Staff explained the necessity for the lot split ordinance describing
standards and procedures in processing lot splits. Staff asked that
the planning commission consider a modification to the proposed ordinance
under 4.021.1 "Certification of Approval" - the second sentence to read:
"The certification shall carry a stamp showing approval by the planning
commission and be signed by an officer of the planning commission or
TV
designated representative.
Lo George made a motion to approve the revised lot split procedures
with modification suggested by staff; and to designate the city planner
as an authorized representative to sign lot splits that have been
approved by the planning commission. Mm Hinkle seconded the motion.
