Fritschen AICP, RLA Planning Manager SUBJECT: Resolution 2018 -15, Adopting the GrOwasso 2030 Land Use Master Plan, Revised December 18, 2018 DATE: December 14, 2018 BACKGROUND: At the November regular meetings of the Planning Commission and City Council, staff held public hearings regarding the proposed amendments to the current 2030 GrOwasso Land Use Master Plan (Plan) map. No citizens spoke at either public hearing. The Land Use Master Plan (adopted in 2014 and amended in 2016) is not considered a codified document that is law, but is more accurately described as a flexible regulatory tool. The Plan is a fluid document that periodically requires changes and adjustments. The proposed amendments are intended to keep the Land Use Master Plan map updated in light of recent development trends related to annexations, zoning changes, and infrastructure improvements primarily in the area of wastewater and transportation. The Land Use Master Plan map is used in conjunction with the Zoning Map in evaluating various development applications received by the City. If approved by Council, the attached map would serve as* the updated GrOwasso 2030 Land Use Master Plan map for Owasso, Oklahoma and, subsequent Master Plan amendments approved by City Council for individual parcels would amend this map. A more comprehensive update of the entire plan document, which would include a review of the key issues, goals, action plans, updating demographics, and existing data, will occur at a later date. PLANNING COMMISSION: The Owasso Planning Commission voted 3 -0 to recommend approval of the revisions at their meeting on December 10, 2018, RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2018 -15, adopting the GrOwasso 2030 Land Use Master Plan, Revised December 18, 2018 ATTACHMENTS: Resolution 2018 -15 Staff memorandum dated November 9, 2018 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Karl A. Fritschen AICP, RLA Planning Manager SUBJECT: Update to the GrOwasso 2030 Land Use Master Plan, Public Hearing DATE: November 9, 2018 BACKGROUND: The GrOwasso 2030 Land Use Master Plan (Plan) is an important policy document used by City staff, the Planning Commission, and the City Council to guide land use decisions, including decisions on rezoning cases. The Plan was approved by City Council with Resolution 2014 -07. Unlike the Zoning Map, the Land Use Master Plan is not considered a codified document that is law but is more accurately described as a flexible regulatory tool. The Plan is a fluid document that periodically requires changes and adjustments as development trends in Owasso respond to events like infrastructure improvements, sanitary sewer extensions, annexations, rezoning cases, and roadway projects. For example, in November 2016, the City Council approved on amendment to the Plan that introduced a new zoning district called RNX (Residential Neighborhood Mixed). Having a Plan that is relatively current is important to the performance of the Community Development Department and the City as a whole. Since the 2016 amendment, there have been several events that require the Plan to be revisited again. Staff is bringing forth a proposed Plan amendment for consideration that addresses these events and subsequent changes in development trends. PROPOSED UPDATE TO THE LAND USE MASTER PLAN MAP: The proposed updates to the Plan are focused on amending the Land Use Master Plan map and brochure. None of the goals and objectives of the Plan would change with this update. Also, the booklet that accompanies the Plan is not proposed to be amended at this time. Staff anticipates developing a major Plan update in the next two to three years, which will involve the assemblage of a committee, revisiting goals and objectives, inventorying infrastructure, posting public opinion surveys, holding public workshops, etc. PUBLIC INPUT MEETING AND PUBLIC HEARINGS: On Thursday, September 20, 2018, a public input meeting was held in the Community Room at City Hall to allow citizens to review the updated map and ask questions. Approximately twelve (12) citizens attended meeting, and staff addressed several questions. The notes from this meeting were provided to the Planning Commission at the meeting on October 8, 2018. Additionally, the Owasso Reporter ran a story on the proposed Plan update. Staff is holding a Public Hearing on the proposed update at the November 12, 2018 Planning Commission meeting and November 20, 2018 City Council meeting. ATTACHMENT:
