of the PUD. The requests are to allow a pet store, health-related facilities, and a billiard parlor.
The Planning Commission recommended approval for the pet store, but failed to make a
recommendation on the other two. Staff will be presenting recommendations to the Council.
ITEM 3: DISCUSSION RELATING TO URBANIZED BOUNDARIES.
Mr. Wiles presented the item. The Oklahoma Department of TranspOliation is coordinating an
adjustment to the boundary of Owasso's urban area. Owasso is classified as a small urban area
because it has a population greater than 5000 and is physically separated from the four urbanized
areas in Oklahoma: Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Norman, and Lawton. Bird Creek separates Owasso
from the Tulsa urbanized area, and Collinsville is included in the Owasso small urban area. By
enlarging the adjusted urban area boundary, the total number of road miles are increased, thus
increasing the number of roads within Owasso that are eligible for improvement through the
Surface Transportation Program. An item will appear on the Council agenda requesting
authorization for the Mayor to sign the proposed Adjusted Urban Area Boundary Map.
