There is vacant RS-3 zoned property to the west. There is an office building being constructed on a portion of the subject tract, The applicant wishes to use a portion of this building for a day care center, The tract was rezoned in 1981 from AG to RS-3 and OL, The proposed uses at that time were for an office building on the OL and a church and single family homes on the remainder, The staff stated at this meeting that the OL land use could serve as a buffer between the high intensity com- mercial and low intensity residential/church uses. She also stated that the office and church uses would prevent further commercial strip zoning northward to 96th Street. One of the concerns at this meeting was the existing traffic problems on Hwy. 169 and access on this property. On November 14, 1984 the applicant requested a Special Exception for Use Unit 14 uses in the office building® The Board voted 5-0-0 to deny this request., Owasso Board of Adjustment Minutes August 14, 1988 Page 2 The proposed day care center could generate a considerable amount of trips during times when Hwy. 169 has the largest amount of existing traffic. This could be especially critical for north bound traffic wanting to turn left, Part of the jurisdiction for the initial OL zoning, in 1981, was the low intensity nature of Office Light zoning and 'Further commercial strip zoning northward to 96t h Street, 16ic Board has previously denied a Special Exception for Use Unit 1.4 uses in this building,, I' the present application is approved the intensity of use would be increased, The day care .enter may be incompatible with the light offices in the rest of the building.
