Chief Urban and Long Range Planner
SUBJECT: Annexation and Ordinance (OA 15 -08)
DATE: December 4, 2015
BACKGROUND:
The Community Development Department received a request for annexation for property
located at 14001 E 961h St North. The property is 6.35 acres in size and has been used for
residential purposes. The applicant has indicated they have plans to join this tract with the one
to the west where together they will be developed for single family residential uses in
compliance with the City of Owasso development codes and ordinances. The property is not
platted and will be assigned a zoning of AG (Agriculture).

ANALYSIS:
The applicant for this annexation has indicated that this property along with the property
immediately to the west will be joined and developed for residential uses. The proposed use
supports the City of Owasso's Land Use Master Plan as this area is called out for residential uses.
According to the official zoning map and the Tulsa County parcel database, the property is
currently zoned OM (Office Medium) and is located within Tulsa County. Upon annexation, the
property will be subject to all development standards, codes and ordinances of the City of
Owasso, including, but not limited to paved streets, stormwater detention, sidewalks, life safety,
and landscaping. A zoning of AG will be assigned to this property.
Due to the upcoming election in March 2016, the ordinance for OA 15 -08 must evoke the
"emergency clause," whereby the 30 -day holding period is avoided. Per State Statues, cities
may not incorporate areas after December 31 for elections held in March. Enacting the
"emergency clause" also avoids any possibility for the upcoming election cycle to be declared
invalid.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSISTENCY:
The GrOwasso 2030 Land Use Master Plan identifies the subject property and its surroundings as
having a future land use for Residential development. The proposed residential use conforms to
the land use plan.
ANNEXATION COMMITTEE:
The Annexation Committee reviewed and recommended approval for the annexation request
OA 15 -08 at its November 25, 2015, meeting.
PLANNING COMMISSION:
The Owasso Planning Commission will review this item at their regular meeting on December 7,
2015.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff intends to recommend approval of annexation, OA 15 -08, and the associated ordinance
with an "emergency clause" and assigning a zoning of Agriculture (AG) to the property at the
regular meeting of the City Council on December 15, 2015.

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Owasso
FROM: Julie Trout Lombardi
City Attorney and General Counsel
SUBJECT: Proposed Ordinances and Amendments Regulating Texting While Driving, Vapor
Products and Child Passenger Restraint System Requirements,
DATE: December 4, 2015
BACKGROUND
Changes in State law have prompted consideration of one new ordinance prohibiting texting
and driving, and amendments to current sections in the Owasso Code or Ordinances 1)
prohibiting minors from obtaining and using tobacco products, and, 2) imposing requirements
for child passenger restraint systems.
Texting While Driving
The State enacted legislation prohibiting texting while driving which became effective on
November 1, 2015. It is necessary for the City of Owasso to adopt its own municipal ordinance
so that citations for this offense may be prosecuted in the City's municipal court. The proposed
ordinance, which creates section 15 -558 titled "Texting While Driving," mirrors the statute
adopted by the State. The new ordinance provides that it shall be unlawful for any person
operating a motor vehicle to use a hand -held communication device to manually compose,
send or read an electronic text message while the vehicle is in motion.
The ordinance further provides that violations of the ordinance may be punished with a fine not
to exceed that allowed by state law (currently set at $100). The ordinance additionally contains
a list of exceptions outlining scenarios wherein the prohibition against texting and driving would
not apply. These include communication in emergency situations with emergency response
operators, hospitals and other medical providers, ambulance services, firefighting services and
law enforcement.
Amendments to Ordinances Prohibiting Furnishing Tobacco Products to Minors and Receipt of
Tobacco Products by a Minor
The Owasso City Council approved ordinances several years ago prohibiting the furnishing and
receipt of tobacco products to and by minors. Those ordinances imposed penalties upon
persons who sell or otherwise provide tobacco products to minors, and upon minors who
purchase, accept or possess tobacco products. These ordinances substantially mirrored
corollary state laws authorizing municipalities to enact ordinances of this type.
In 2014, the Legislature amended State law to prohibit vapor products in addition to tobacco
products. Consequently, it is advisable for the City to consider amending its own ordinances to
include vapor products as well. The proposed ordinance again mirrors the amendments made
to State law in this regard. The punishment for providing vapor products to minors is a
graduated schedule of increasing fines with eventual potential loss of a business's sales tax
permit. Failure to remit payment of an imposed fine may also result in suspension or non -
issuance of the offender's driver's license.
Amendments to Child Passenger Restraint System Requirements
Section 15 -308 of the Owasso Code of Ordinances mirrors State law in setting forth requirements
for child passenger restraint systems. Effective November 1, 2015, State law was amended to
contain additional requirements for children eight (8) years of age and younger or who are four
(4) feet nine (9) inches in height or shorter. Based upon the significant amendments to State law,
it is advisable for the City of Owasso to also consider identical amendments to the municipal
ordinance.
PROPOSED ACTION:
These ordinances will be placed on the December 15, 2015, agenda for consideration and
action by the City Council. Staff will recommend approval of these three ordinances.

A. Proposed new ordinance prohibiting texting while driving
B. Proposed ordinance amending sections relating to tobacco and minors to include vapor
products

A. It is unlawful for any person to sell, give or furnish in any manner any
tobacco or vapor product to another person who is under eighteen
(18) years of age, or to purchase in any manner a tobacco or vapor
product on behalf of any such person. Provided, however, that it shall
not be unlawful for an employee under eighteen (18) years of age to
handle tobacco or vapor products when required in the performance
of the employee's duties.
B. A person engaged in the sale or distribution of tobacco or vapor
products shall demand proof of age from a prospective purchaser or
recipient if an ordinary person would conclude on the basis of
appearance that the prospective purchaser might be less than
eighteen (18) years of age.
C. If an individual engaged in the sale or distribution of tobacco or vapor
products has demanded proof of age from a prospective purchaser or
recipient who is not less than eighteen (18) years of age, the failure to
subsequently require proof of age shall not constitute a violation of
subsection B of this section.
1. When a person violates subsection A or B of this section, he or
she shall be guilty of an offense and, upon conviction, shall be
punished by a fine as follows:
a. Not more than One Hundred Dollars ($100) for the first
offense,
b. Not more than Two Hundred Dollars ($200) for the second
offense within a two -year period following the first offense,
c. Not more than Three Hundred Dollars ($300) for a third offense
within a two -year period following the first offense. In addition
to any other penalty, the store's license to sell tobacco

predominantly engaged in the sale of vapor products in
which the sale of other products is merely incidental, may be
suspended for a period not exceeding thirty (30) days, or
d. Not more than Three Hundred Dollars ($300) for a fourth or
subsequent offense within a two -year period following the first
offense. In addition to any other penalty, the store's license to

products in which the sale of other products is merely
incidental, may be suspended for a period not exceeding
sixty (60) days.
2. Pursuant to State law, when it has been determined by a municipal
court that a penalty shall include a license suspension, the ABLE
Commission will notify the Oklahoma Tax Commission, and the Tax
Commission will suspend the store's license to sell tobacco
products, or the store's sales tax permit for a store that is
predominantly engaged in the sale of vapor products in which the
sale of other products is merely incidental, at the location where
the offense occurred for the period of time prescribed by the ABLE
Commission.
3. Proof that the defendant demanded, was shown, and reasonably
relied upon proof of age shall be a defense to any action brought
pursuant to this section. A person cited for violating this section shall
be deemed to have reasonably relied upon proof of age, and such
person shall not be found guilty of such violation, if such person
proves that:
a. The individual who purchased or received the tobacco or
vapor product presented a driver license or other
government- issued photo identification purporting to
establish that such individual was eighteen (18) years of
age or older, and
b. The person cited for the violation confirmed the validity of
the driver license or other government- issued photo
identification presented by such individual by performing
a transaction scan by means of a transaction scan
device.
c. Provided, that this defense shall not relieve from liability
any person cited for a violation of this section if such
person failed to exercise reasonable diligence to
determine whether the physical description and picture
appearing on the driver license or other government -
issued photo identification was that of the individual who
presented it. The availability of the defense described in
this subsection does not affect the availability of any other
defense under any other provision of law.
D. If the sale is made by an employee of the owner of a store at which
tobacco or vapor products are sold at retail, the employee shall be
guilty of the violation and shall be subject to the fine. Each violation by
any employee of an owner of a store licensed to sell tobacco products
or permitted to sell vapor products shall be deemed a violation against
the owner for purposes of a license suspension pursuant to subsection
C of this section. Each violation by an employee of a store
predominantly engaged in the sale of vapor products in which the sale
of other products is merely incidental shall be deemed a violation
against the owner for purposes of a sales tax permit suspension
pursuant to the provisions of subsection C of this section. An owner of
a store licensed to sell tobacco products or permitted to sell vapor
products shall not be deemed in violation of this section for any acts
constituting a violation by any person, when the violation occurs prior
to actual employment of the person by the store owner or the violation
occurs at a location other than the owner's retail store. For purposes of
determining the liability of a person controlling franchises or business
operations in multiple locations, for any violations of subsection A or B
of this section, each individual franchise or business location shall be
deemed a separate entity.
E. Upon failure of the employee to pay the fine within ninety (90) days of
the day of the assessment of such fine, the Municipal Court clerk shall
notify the Department of Public Safety and the Department will,
pursuant to State law, suspend or not issue a driver's license to the
employee until proof of payment has been furnished to the
Department of Public Safety.
F. Upon failure of a storeowner to pay the administrative fine within ninety
(90) days of the assessment of the fine, the clerk of the municipal court
shall notify the Oklahoma Tax Commission and the Tax Commission
shall suspend the store's license to sell tobacco products, or the store's
