TO: The Owasso Planning Commission
FROM: Karl Fritschen, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Rehearing of PUD 04 -01, The Reserve at Elm Creek
DATE: January 10, 2011
BACKGROUND:
On May 10, 2004 the Owasso Planning Commission approved OPUD 04 -01 for a 19.75 acre
residential development consisting of duplex and single family lots. On June 1, 2004 Ordinance
number 782 was approved by the City Council for OPUD 04 -01. The project consists of a total of
19.75 acres, 12 acres would be used for single - family detached residential development and
7.75 acres would be used for duplex residential development. The property is located at the
northwest corner of the intersection of 66th Street North and 1291h East Avenue.
The applicant has submitted engineering drawings and a preliminary plat for review. Since it has
been over 5 years since OPUD 04 -01 was approved and there has been no development
activity or any permits issued, staff is bringing the proposal back to the Planning Commission for
action, which will bring the project up to date.
SURROUNDING LAND USE:
North: Floodplain, AG Zoning -Tulsa County
South: Large Lot Single Family Homes and church, AG -R Zoning -Tulsa County
East: Undeveloped, AG Zoning -Tulsa County
West: Undeveloped, AG Zoning - Tulsa County
PROPERTY CHARACTERISTICS:
The subject property is currently vacant and is used for agricultural purposes. Properties to the
north and to the east of the site are used for both residential and agricultural purposes. A
church and residential tracts lie south of the subject property. Land to the west is agricultural in
nature.
The subject property and properties to the north, east, and west is zoned AG Agricultural. Tracts
to the south are zoned AG -R Agricultural/Residential by Tulsa County.
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS:
Steo One, Annexation
Annexation is the method whereby land located outside the city limits is made a part of the city.
Property owners and land developers sometimes choose to have their property annexed into
Owasso in order to receive Owasso municipal services, such as police protection, refuse
collection, and sanitary sewer.
Step Two, Rezoning
The second step in the development of a piece of
property is annexed into Owasso, by law it must co
order to develop the property, the land must be zo
residential, office, commercial, or industrial. Rezoning
the growth policy displayed in the Owasso Master Plan
property in Owasso is rezoning. When a
me in classified for AG Agricultural use. In
ned for particular kinds of uses, such as
decisions are made in accordance with
One type of rezoning that a developer may choose to seek is a Planned Unit Development, or
PUD, When a development proposes to exhibit a mixture of uses with specific regulations and
standards unique to a particular tract of land, a PUD is often the preferred land use control
mechanism.
Step 3, Platting
A preliminary plat is required for any development that proposes to divide land into two or more
lots. Preliminary plats illustrate the development concept for the property, and are often
modified significantly after being reviewed by the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), and the
Owasso Planning Commission. Sometimes, difficult development issues such as existing utility
lines, wells, or easements are brought to light at the preliminary plat stage and must be
remedied prior to development,
After the preliminary plat has been reviewed by the City and various utility companies,
construction plans for the development's infrastructure are submitted. These plans include
specifications and drawings for stormwater drainage, streets and grading and erosion control,
waterlines, stormwater detention, and wastewater lines. Often, approval is required of other
agencies, such as the Department of Environmental Quality for wastewater collection and the
US Army Corps of Engineers for properties that may be development sensitive.
Once the property development proposal shows a division of lots that is acceptable to both the
developer and the City of Owasso, a final plat application is submitted, A final plat illustrates the
layout and dimension of lots included on the final plat, right -of -way widths, easements, and
other physical characteristics that must be provided for review by the City. After obtaining
approval from the TAC and Planning Commission, the final plat is considered by the City
Council. If approved, the final plat is filed with the office of the County Clerk and governs all
future development on that property.
Step 4, Site Plan Preparation Site plans are reviewed by the TAC. Issues such as building setbacks,
parking, access, landscaping, and building footprint are presented in the site plan. Once a site
plan is approved, the development is clear to apply for a building permit and to submit
construction plans for the building's foundation, plumbing, electrical system, and HVAC.
CONCEPT OF A PUD:
The concept of a Planned Unit Development is to provide a creative alternative to conventional
development where a particular tract is under common ownership or control and where a
detailed development plan, outlining the development of the tract as a unit is proposed and
submitted for public review. The use of a PUD technique is a way to amend a zoning ordinance
in accordance with a complete and coordinated plan of development for a larger parcel,
rather than piecemeal individual changes using the variance process.
LEGAL PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS OF PODS ALLOWED BY CODE
USES PERMITTED - The Owasso Zoning Code allows for all types of residential uses and 29 types of
commercial uses within a residential planned unit development. The applicant requests two
uses - single - family residential and duplex residential.
BULK AND AREA REQUIREMENTS - As stated earlier, the applicant requests an RS -3 residential
single - family designation for 12.7 acres, and an RD residential duplex designation for 7.75 acres.
The Owasso Zoning Code allows one dwelling unit per 8,400 square feet in an RS -3 PUD. This
requirement would allow up to 62 lots on the 12.7 acres portion of the property. The applicant
requests 51 lots.
The Owasso Zoning Code allows one dwelling unit per 4,200 square feet in an RD PUD. This
requirement would allow up to 80 dwelling units on 40 lots in the 7.75 acres. The applicant
requests 80 dwelling units on 40 lots.
Within an RS -3 or RD PUD, the minimum allowable lot size requirement is 800 square feet, and the
minimum allowable lot width is 20 feet, The applicant requests a minimum lot size of 5,000
square feet and a minimum lot width of 50 feet.
BUILDING HEIGHT AND YARDS - There is no set maximum building height or minimum yard size set
by the Owasso Zoning Code. The applicant requests a maximum building height of two stories
and a minimum yard size of 15 feet (by 50 feet).
SCREENING AND LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS - The Planning Commission shall prescribe
perimeter requirements for screening and landscaping as are necessary to assure compatibility
with adjoining and proximate properties.
ANALYSIS:
OPUD 10 -01 (Project Two) is a proposed planned unit development (PUD) comprised of 19.75
acres, The development concept behind the Project Two PUD is residential. The applicant
intends to develop single family and duplex residential homes on the subject site. The overall
concept of the project remains the same as approved in 2004; however the applicant intends to
only develop the 51 single family lots on the 12 acre portion of the property at this time.
The subject PUD application is part of a continuance of direction in the overall development
scheme for the area. As the market has evolved the property owners feel it is appropriate and
marketable to develop the area for residential purposes, as prescribed by the Master Land Use
Plans of both Tulsa County and the City of Owasso. The staff concurs that a residential
development would be consistent with the development pattern taking hold in Owasso and this
pattern of growth is compatible with the Owasso 2025 Land Use Master Plan.
According to the Owasso Zoning Code, the Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing on
any PUD application and determine the following:
Whether the PUD is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
2. Whether the PUD is in harmony with the existing and expected development of surrounding
areas.
3. Whether the PUD is a unified treatment of the development possibilities of the project site.
4. Whether the PUD is consistent with the stated purpose and standards of the PUD ordinance.
a, To permit innovative land development while maintaining appropriate limitation on
the character and intensity of use assuring compatibility with adjoining and
proximate properties:
b. To permit flexibility within the development to best utilize the unique physical
features of the particular site:
c. To provide and preserve meaningful open space; and
d. To achieve a continuity of function and design within the development.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSISTENCY:
The Owasso 2025 Land Use Master Plan identifies the subject property and its surroundings as
having a future land use of residential. As previously stated it is the desire of the applicant to
develop the area for residential use.
HARMONY WITH THE EXISTING AND EXPECTED DEVELOPMENT
The area in the vicinity of the intersection at 66th Street North and North 129th East Avenue has
been identified as a non - commercial area. Again, this PUD proposes a residential component
that is part of a development concept for the area that calls for non - commercial development.
Similar residential developments in the vicinity of the subject site include the duplex and single
family development at the Baptist retirement center to the north and the Crown Colony
subdivision to the northeast.
FUTURE PLANNING ISSUES:
Future planning issues must still be considered if the PUD is approved. If approved, the applicant
must submit a preliminary plat, infrastructure plans, and a final plat that must be approved by
the City of Owasso. As mentioned, the applicant has engineering plans currently under review
and has submitted a preliminary plat reflecting those plans. Should the applicant decide to
amend the PUD, then sections 840.1 and 840.2 of the zoning code shall apply.
A property owners' association is proposed and at the platting stage of the development,
detailed covenants and restrictions incorporating all conditions of the PUD shall be submitted.
Also at the platting stage, the applicant will be required to dedicate adequate right -of -way
along the west side of North 1291h East Avenue and along the north side of 66th Street North.
Sidewalks will be required along all public right -of -ways associated with the subject property.
Perimeter sidewalks must be installed at the time of overall development, while the internal walks
may be constructed as individual lots are developed,
The applicant has identified the terrain of the area as relatively flat and gently rolling terrain. The
existing soils on the site would appear to create no unusual development problems that are not
typically encountered in development in and around the City of Owasso, On -site detention is
required and will be further defined at the platting stage,
Any future development on the property will be served sewer from the City of Owasso and
water from Rogers County Rural Water District 2.
The staff published legal notice of the PUD request in the Owasso Reporter and mailed notices to
property owners within a 300' radius of the subject property. To date, staff has not received any
opposition concerning the request.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Staff's recommends re- approval of OPUD 10 -01.

SUBJECT: OPUD 04 -01, A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A PLANNED UNIT
DEVELOPMENT
DATE: MAY 12, 2004
BACKGROUND:
The City of Owasso has received a request for the review and rezoning of 19.75 acres. The
applicant proposes to rezone the property as a Planned Unit Development (PUD). The proposed
OPUD 04 -01 will follow the standards found under the RS -3 Residential Single- Family and RD
Residential Duplex zoning designations so as to guide the development of single - family homes
and duplexes. Twelve acres would be used for single - family detached residential development
and 7.75 acres would be used for duplex residential development. The property is located at the
northwest corner of the intersection of 6e Street North and 129h East Avenue.
The subject property is currently vacant and is used for agricultural purposes. Properties to the
north and to the east of the site are used for both residential and agricultural purposes. A church
and residential tracts lie south of the subject property. Land the west is agricultural in nature.
The subject property and properties to the north, east, and west is zoned AG Agricultural. Tracts
to the south are zoned AG -R Agricultural/Residential by Tulsa County.
CONCEPT OF A PUD:
The concept of a Planned Unit Development is to provide a creative alternative to conventional
development where a particular tract is under common ownership or control and where a detailed
development plan, outlining the development of the tract as a unit is proposed and submitted for
public review: The use of a PUD technique is a way to amend a zoning ordinance in accordance
with a complete and coordinated plan of development for a larger parcel, rather than piecemeal
individual changes using the variance process. The supplemental zoning district PUD must be
approved by the City Council as a prerequisite to the Planned Unit Development.
LEGAL PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS OF PUDS ALLOWED BY CODE:
USES PERMITTED — The Owasso Zoning Code allows for all types of residential uses and 29
types of commercial uses within a residential planned unit development. The applicant requests
two uses single family residential and duplex residential.
BULK AND AREA REQUIREMENTS — As stated earlier, the applicant requests an RS -3
residential single - family designation for 12 acres, and an RD residential duplex designation for
7.75 acres.
The Owasso Zoning Code allows one dwelling unit per 8,400 square feet in an RS -3 PUD. This
requirement would allow up to 62 lots on the 12 acres. The applicant requests 60 lots.
The Owasso Zoning Code allows one dwelling unit per 4,200 square feet in an RD PUD. This
requirement would allow up to 80 dwelling units on 40 lots in the 7.75 acres. The applicant
requests 80 dwelling units on 40 lots.
Within an RS -3 or RD PUD, the minimum allowable lot size requirement is 800 square feet, and
the minimum allowable lot width is 20 feet. The applicant requests a minimum lot size of 5,000
square feet and a minimum lot width of 50 feet.
BUILDING HEIGHT AND YARDS — There is no set maximum building height or minimum
yard size set by the Owasso Zoning Code. The applicant requests a maximum building height of
two stories and a minimum yard size of 15 feet (by 50 feet).
SCREENING AND LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS — The Planning Commission shall
prescribe perimeter requirements for screening and landscaping as are necessary to assure
compatibility with adjoining and proximate properties.
OPUD 04 -01 (Project Two) is a proposed planned unit development (PUD) comprised of 19.75
acres. The development concept behind the Project Two PUD is residential. The
applicant/owners of the property intend to develop single family residential homes and duplex
homes on the subject site.
The subject PUD application is part of a continuance of direction in the overall development
scheme for the area. As the market has evolved the property owners feel it is appropriate and
marketable to develop the area for residential purposes, as prescribed by the Master Land Use
Plans of both Tulsa County and the City of Owasso. The staff concurs that a residential
development would be consistent with the development pattern taking hold in Owasso and this
pattern of growth is compatible with the Owasso 2010 Land Use Master Plan.
According to the Owasso Zoning Code, the Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing on
any PUD application and determine the following:
1. Whether the PUD is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. Whether the PUD is in harmony with the existing and expected development of surrounding
areas.
3. Whether the PUD is a unified treatment of the development possibilities of the project site.
4. Whether the PUD is consistent with the stated purpose and standards of the PUD ordinance.
a. To permit innovative land development while maintaining appropriate limitation on
the character and intensity of use assuring compatibility with adjoining and
proximate properties;
b. To permit flexibility within the development to best utilize the unique physical
features of the particular site;
c. To provide and preserve meaningful open space; and
d. To achieve a continuity of function and design within the development.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSISTENCY:
The Owasso 2010 Land Use Master Plan identifies the subject property and its surroundings as
having a future land use of residential. As previously stated it is the desire of the
applicants/owners to develop the area for residential use.
HARMONY WITH THE EXISTING AND EXPECTED DEVELOPMENT:
The area in the vicinity of the intersection at 60b Street North and North 129th East Avenue has
been identified as a non - commercial area. Again, this PUD proposes a residential component
that is part of a development concept for the area that calls for non - commercial development.
Similar residential developments in the vicinity of the subject site include the duplex and single
family development at the Baptist retirement center to the north and the Crown Colony
subdivision to the northeast.
FUTURE PLANNING ISSUES:
Future planning issues must still be considered if the PUD is approved. If approved, the
applicant must submit a preliminary plat, infrastructure plans, and a final plat that must be
approved by the City of Owasso.
A property owners' association is proposed and at the platting stage of the development, detailed
covenants and restrictions incorporating all conditions of the PUD shall be submitted.
Also at the platting stage, the applicant will be required to dedicate adequate right -of -way along
the west side of North 1291i East Avenue and along the north side of 661' Street North.
Sidewalks will be required along all public right -of -ways associated with the subject property.
Perimeter sidewalks must be installed at the time of overall development, while the internal
walks may be constructed as individual lots are developed.
The applicant has identified the terrain of the area as relatively flat and gently rolling terrain.
The existing soils on the site would appear to create no unusual development problems that are
not typically encountered in development in and around the City of Owasso. On -site detention is
required and will be further defined at the platting stage.
Any future development on the property will be served sewer by the City of Owasso and water
by the City of Owasso.
The staff published legal notice of the PUD request in the April 15, 2004 edition of the Owasso
Reporter and mailed notices to property owners within a 300' radius of the subject property. To
date, the staff has no opposition from one person concerning the request.
OWASSO PLANNING COMMISSION
At the May 10, 2004 regular meeting, the Owasso Planning Commission unanimously voted to
recommend approval of OPUD 04 -01 with no conditions.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends approval of OPUD 04 -01.

DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
Project Two is a proposed planned unit development (PUD) comprised of approximately
Twenty (20) acres in Southeast Owasso, Oklahoma. The property is located at 6600 North
129" East Avenue. The site is characterized by flat and gently rolling terrain. The existing
soils on the site create no unusual development problems that are not commonly
encountered in most other area developments. Overall, this site has excellent
development possibilities.
The development is a single family and duplex mixed -use residential development that will
feature a small, secure neighborhood feeling bordered by a large undeveloped tract. Many
prospective residents in today's marketplace desire smaller, well- maintained yards along
with nice homes on smaller lots. This development concept will allow that type of home
to be developed in a manner that is consistent and well- designed.

TO: The Owasso Planning Commission
FROM: Karl Fritschen, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat— Reserve at Elm Creek
DATE: January 10, 2011
BACKGROUND:
On November S, 2004 the Planning Commission reviewed and approved the preliminary plat for
OPUD O1 -04 (Project 2, The Reserve at Elm Creek). The Reserve at Elm Creek preliminary plat was
approved contingent upon the successful execution of the Technical Advisory Committee
conditions. Subsequent to the approval of the Preliminary Plat, the applicant had one (1) year
to obtain final plat approval. Since no final plat was submitted, the preliminary plat approved in
2004 expired.
The applicant has recently submitted engineering drawings and a preliminary plat for review.
The submitted preliminary plat indicates that the applicant proposes developing 51 single family
lots on approximately 12 acres of the 19.75 acre tract. The applicant is not developing the 7.75
acre portion outlined for duplexes under OPUD O1 -04 at this time according to the submitted
preliminary plat. However, the overall development concept for The Reserve at Elm Creek
remains the some as the preliminary plat approved by the Commission in 2004, with a mixture of
duplex and single family lots on a total of approximately 19.75 acres.
SURROUNDING ZONING:
North: Floodplain, AG Zoning - Tulsa County
South: Large Lot Single Family Homes, AG -R Zoning - Tulsa County
East: Undeveloped, AG Zoning - Tulsa County
West: Undeveloped, AG Zoning - Tulsa County
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS:
Step One, Annexation
Annexation is the method whereby land located outside the city limits is made a part of the city.
Property owners and land developers sometimes choose to have their property annexed into
Owasso in order to receive Owasso municipal services, such as police protection, refuse
collection, and sanitary sewer.
Step Two, Rezoning
The second step in the development of a piece of property in Owasso is rezoning. When a
property is annexed Into Owasso, by law it must come in classified for AG Agricultural use. In
order to develop the property, the land must be zoned for particular kinds of uses, such as
residential, office, commercial, or industrial, Rezoning decisions are made in accordance with
the growth policy displayed in the Owasso Master Plan.
One type of rezoning that a developer may choose to seek is a Planned Unit Development, or
PUD. When a development proposes to exhibit a mixture of uses with specific regulations and
standards unique to a particular tract of land, a PUD is often the preferred land use control
mechanism.
Step 3, Platting
A preliminary plat is required for any development that proposes to divide land into two or more
lots. Preliminary plats illustrate the development concept for the property, and are often
modified significantly offer being reviewed by the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), and the
Owasso Planning Commission. Sometimes, difficult development issues such as existing utility
lines, wells, or easements are brought to light at the preliminary plat stage and must be
remedied prior to development.
After the preliminary plat has been reviewed by the City and various utility companies,
construction plans for the development's infrastructure are submitted. These plans include
specifications and drawings for stormwater drainage, streets and grading and erosion control,
waterlines, stormwater detention, and wastewater lines. Often, approval is required of other
agencies, such as the Department of Environmental Quality for wastewater collection and the
US Army Corps of Engineers for properties that may be development sensitive.
Once the property development proposal shows a division of lots that is acceptable to both the
developer and the City of Owasso, a final plat application Is submitted. A final plat illustrates the
layout and dimension of lots included on the final plat, right -of -way widths, easements, and
other physical characteristics that must be provided for review by the City. After obtaining
approval from the TAC and Planning Commission, the final plat is considered by the City
Council. If approved, the final plat Is filed with the office of the County Clerk and governs all
future development on that property.
Step 4, Site Plan Preparation Site plans are reviewed by the TAC. Issues such as building setbacks,
parking, access, landscaping, and building footprint are presented in the site plan. Once a site
plan is approved, the development is clear to apply for a building permit and to submit
construction plans for the building's foundation, plumbing, electrical system, and HVAC.
ANALYSIS:
The preliminary plat proposes 51 lots on approximately 12 acres with two points of access, one
from 129th East Avenue and the other from 66th Street North. The subject property is located at
the Northwest corner of East 66th St. North and North 129th East Ave. The preliminary plat was
approved at the Owasso Planning Commission on October 11, 2004 and is being heard again
because the time period between the time of approval and the time to submit a final plat
expired. The subdivision regulations state that any preliminary plat not receiving final plat
approval within (1) year shall be null and void.
The Technical Advisory Committee reviewed the preliminary plat for the Reserve at Elm Creek on
September 29 2004. Engineering drawings for the development were recently submitted and
are currently under review in the City Engineer's office. The applicant is required to address all
TAC comments as well as those from the Engineering department. The preliminary plat being
presented in this report reflects the current engineering drawings and represents the most
current version of the project. The scope of the proposed preliminary plat project and design
has not changed significantly from what approved in 2004.
Any development that occurs on the subject property must adhere to all subdivision, zoning,
and engineering requirements including but not limited to paved streets, landscaping, and
sidewalks. Sanitary sewer service, police, fire, and EMS service will be provided by the City of
Owasso. Water service will be provided by Rogers County Rural Water District #2. The property
will be subject to all payback fees, including Storm Siren fees of $35 per acre. The applicant will
have one (1) year to submit a final plat for the project.
Technical Advisory Committee (TAC):
As mentioned the TAC reviewed the preliminary plat for The Reserve at Elm Creek on September
29, 2004. Comments from that meeting are attached in the memo dated November 8, 2004. It
should be noted that the storm siren fee was $16.00 per acre in 2004, but has since been raised
to $35.00 per acre.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the preliminary plat for The Reserve at Elm
Creek subject to addressing all TAC and Engineering Department comments.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
PRELIMINARY PLAT
(THE RESERVE ON ELM CREEK)
STAFF REPORT
BACKGROUND
The City of Owasso has received a request from the Dominion Corporation for the review and
approval of The Reserve on Elm Creek Preliminary Plat. The Preliminary Plat proposes 74 lots
(47 single family home lots and 27 duplex lots) in two blocks on 20 acres of property. The
applicant wishes to plat the property so that they may eventually develop a residential subdivision
comprised of single family homes and duplexes.
The application was tabled at the October Planning Commission meeting to allow the applicant
time to revise the Preliminary Plat based on Technical Advisory Committee comments.
HEARING DATE
Planning Commission, November 8, 2004
LOCATION
The subject property is located at the northwest comer of E. 66 St. N. and N. 129 E. Ave.
EXISTING LAND USE
Undeveloped
SURROUNDING LAND USE
The properties to the north, east, and west are utilized in a rural residential manner. A church
surrounded by large lot residential is located to the south of the subject property.
PRESENT ZONING
RS -3 (Residential Single Family District) and RD (Residential Duplex District) under the
provisions of OPUD 04 -01.
SURROUNDING ZONING
Properties to the north, east, and west are zoned AG (Agricultural District) in Tulsa County. The
property to the south is zoned AG -R (Agricultural- Residential District) in Tulsa County.
ZONING HISTORY
In May, 2004 the property was rezoned to OPUD 04 -01. The Planned Unit Development calls for
residential development in the form of single family homes and duplex homes. A copy of the
approved Planned Unit Development is attached for your review.
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
The first step in the development of a piece of property in Owasso is annexation. Annexation is
the method whereby land located outside the city limits is made a part of the city. Property owners
and land developers sometimes choose to have their property annexed into Owasso in order to
receive Owasso municipal services, such as police protection, refuse collection, and sanitary sewer.
The second step in the development of a piece of property in Owasso is rezoning. When a property
is annexed into Owasso, by law it must come in classified for AG Agricultural use. In order to
develop the property, the land must be zoned for particular kinds of uses, such as residential,
office, commercial, or industrial. Rezoning decisions are made in accordance with the growth
policy displayed in the Owasso Master Plan.
One type of rezoning that a developer may choose to seek is a Planned Unit Development, or PUD.
When a development proposes to exhibit a mixture of uses with specific regulations and standards
unique to a particular tract of land, a PUD is often the preferred land use control mechanism.
The third step in the development of a piece of property in Owasso is platting. A preliminary plat
is required for any development that proposes to divide land into two or more lots. Preliminary
plats illustrate the development concept for the property, and are often modified significantly after
being reviewed by the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), and the Owasso Planning
Commission. Sometimes, difficult development issues such as existing utility lines, wells, or
easements are brought to light at the preliminary plat stage and must be remedied prior to
development.
After the preliminary plat has been reviewed by the City and various utility companies,
construction plans for the development's infrastructure are typically submitted. These plans
include specifications and drawings for stormwater drainage, streets and grading and erosion
control, waterlines, stormwater detention, and wastewater lines. Often, approval is required of
other agencies, such as the Department of Environmental Quality for wastewater collection and the
US Army Corps of Engineers for properties that may be development sensitive.
Once the property development proposal shows a division of lots that is acceptable to both the
developer and the City of Owasso, a final plat application is submitted. A final plat illustrates the
layout and dimension of lots included on the final plat, right -of -way widths, easements, and other
1 physical characteristics that must be provided for review by the City. After obtaining approval
from the TAC and Planning Commission, the final plat is considered by the City Council. If
approved, the final plat is filed with the office of the County Clerk and governs all future
development on that property.
Another form of property division that can be considered in some cases is a lot split. Lot splits are
minor subdivisions of property into three or fewer tracts, and do not provide for any new public
streets. Typically, this is an appropriate option for a land owner who wishes to take large
undeveloped parcels of land and divide it into two or three smaller tracts.
The fourth step in the development of a piece of property in Owasso is the site plan. Site plans are
reviewed by the TAC and Planning Commission. Issues such as building setbacks, parking,
access, landscaping, and building footprint are presented in the site plan. Once a site plan is
approved, the development is clear to apply for a building permit and to submit construction plans
for the building's foundation, plumbing, electrical system, and HVAC.
PRELINUNARY PLAT REVIEW PROCESS
Upon receipt of all appropriate materials, the staff initiates the review process that begins with a
thorough analysis of the proposal. The primary consideration is the proposed plat's compliance
with the Owasso Zoning Code and Owasso Subdivision Regulations.
The Preliminary Plat is then presented to the Owasso Technical Advisory Committee, at which
time utility providers and staff are able to review and provide input on the proposals details. The
Technical Advisory Committee along with city staff make a recommendation to the Owasso
Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission, at a public hearing, shall approve, approve with modifications,
continue to a date certain or disapprove the preliminary plat.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting the review and approval of The Reserve on Elm Creek preliminary plat
so that they may plat and eventually develop the property with single family houses and duplexes.
The property is zoned OPUD 04-01 with an underlying zoning designation of RS -3 (Residential
Single Family District) and RD (Residential Duplex District). The PUD designation outlines the
development standards for the property in a residential manner consistent with the layout of the
preliminary plat, unless specifically addressed in the Technical Advisory Committee comments.
Again, the approved text of the PUD providing supplemental development standards for this
proposed development is included in the packet.
According to the preliminary plat, the developer proposes to divide the property into 74 lots on two
(2) blocks. All of block 1 and lots I — 17 in block 2 are designated as single family home lots
while lots 18 — 44 are designated for duplex development. According to OPUD 04 -01, the
maximum number of dwelling units allowed on the subject property is 140 while the preliminary
plat proposes 74 lots, 47 single family lots and 27 duplex lots; a potential for a maximum of 101
dwelling units. The approved PUD text allows for a minimum lot width of 50' and a minimum lot
depth of 100'. The minimum allowable lot size according to the PUD text is 500062.
Access into the development will be gained from N. 129h E. Ave and E. 66"' St. N. Proposed
right-of-way's (R- O -W's) within the development are 50' wide as are the provisions for R -O -W's
of adjacent arterials. Two streets within the proposed development will terminate at the property's
edge in the form of a cul -de -sac and will not connect to the adjacent arterials. The applicant is also
proposing 20' alley easements at the rear of the duplex lots. Any roadway within the alley
easements will be private and therefore maintained by the developer or subsequent homeowner's
association. All public roadways proposed within the development must be constructed by the
developer to City standards including sidewalks.
To address utility concerns, the proposed plat illustrates utility easements along the perimeter of
the entire development site and throughout.
Preliminary detention plans are to detain additional run -off in the `Detention Area' as shown in the
northwest section of the plat. Plans for the drainage and detention of the water from the site must
be submitted and approved by the City of Owasso before a building permit may be issued.
Any development that occurs on the subject property must adhere to all subdivision, zoning and
engineering requirements including but not limited to paved streets and sidewalks. Residential
water and sewer service will be provided by the City of Owasso. The property will be subject to
all payback fees including Storm Siren fees of $16 per acre and the Elm Creek Sanitary Sewer
Payback fee of $1580.00 per acre. The fees should be payable before the plat is filed.
TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Reserve on Elm Creek Preliminary Plat was originally reviewed by the Owasso Technical
Advisory Committee at their regular meeting on September 29, 2004. Due to a minor change in
the layout the preliminary plat was presented to the Technical Advisory Committee on October 27,
2004 as well. At those meetings, utility providers and city staff were afforded the opportunity to
comment on the application and request any changes or modifications. The following comments
were provided:
1. Community Development - Switch the names of Block 3 and 4;
2. Community Development - Label addresses on the lots as provided by the City Planner;
3. Community Development - Pay the Storm Siren fee of $16 per acre upon approval of the
Final Plat;
4. Community Development - Pay the Elm Creek Sanitary Sewer fee of $1580 per acre upon
approval of the Final Plat;
5. Community Development - Ensure that sidewalks are established along all public roadways
within and along the perimeter of the development;
6. Community Development - Change the 20' front yard building line on the duplex lots (as
shown Block 2, Lots 18 — 44) to 25' or apply to amend the PUD or request a variance to
enable the desired standard;
7. Fire Marshal - Coordinate Fire Hydrant locations with the Fire Marshal;
8. AEP /Cox - Insert additional utility easements as requested by the utility companies;
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of The Reserve on Elm Creek Preliminary Plat contingent upon
the successful execution of the Technical Advisory Committee conditions.

SUBJECT:
Change in the Special Exception Approval Procedure
DATE:
January 10, 2011
BACKGROUND
At the September and November City Council Work Sessions, staff introduced making a change
in a way that the City approves Special Exceptions outlined in the use chapters (i.e. Agriculture,
Residential, Commercial Districts. etc). Currently the Board of Adjustment takes action on all of
the special exceptions outlined in the Owasso Zoning Code. The proposed change will shift this
responsibly of approving the use related special exceptions to the Planning Commission, with
ultimate approval by the City Council, and to change the name of these uses to Specific Use
Permits (SUP). The purpose of this memo is to ask for the Planning Commission's approval to
amend the Owasso Zoning Code in order to change the Special Exception approval process for
those uses described in the Owasso Zoning Code within each zoning district.
REASON FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGE
The City of Owasso, Community Development Department currently allows certain uses
believed to have unique or widely varying operating characteristics or unusual site development
features to be permitted in base zoning districts as Special Exceptions as opposed to those
permitted "by- right ", These Special Exception uses are approved or denied by the Board of
Adjustment (BOA) rather than the Planning Commission. Once a decision Is rendered by the
Board of Adjustment, no further action is taken by any public body on the item and the
applicant may submit a site plan and subsequent building permit application.
Owasso is unique in the way Special Exceptions may be allowed in zoning districts where the
requested use (i.e. church) would not be allowed "by- right ". This is problematic for several
reasons. First, the Board of Adjustment is a quasi-judicial board that does not operate under the
authority of the City Council. Second, because the Board of Adjustment is quasi - judicial, any
appeals, whether they are from the applicant or citizens, are disputed in District Court. This is why
Staff believes it is in the best Interest of the City to require the uses currently designated as
"Special Exceptions" to be allowed as "Specific Use Permits" with final approval from the City
Council
Looking at the BOA's function in relation to the aforementioned issues, Staff believes that many
Special Exceptions should go before the Planning Commission and then forwarded to the City
Council for final approval similar to the way other zoning applications are processed. Staff's
research of other communities' procedures, Indicates that the BOA acts as a quasi - judicial body
and is appointed for the purpose of considering requests for relief from the requirements of the
zoning ordinance or staff interpretations of the zoning ordinance. There are typically three types
of applications the BOA considers: variances, appeals of administrative decisions, and non-
conforming situation permits and staff believes that the Board of Adjustment should focus on
these areas.
It is recognized that the community is growing and as such has become more complex in terms
of the proximity of uses in certain locations. An SUP allows a use that may be appropriate in
some locations in a given district with additional conditions such as, but not limited to, site
modifications, additional landscaping, driveway location, hours of operation, building
modifications, etc. Some common examples of an SUP are day care centers, private clubs,
churches, bed and breakfasts, and congregate care housing in residential districts, as well as
several other uses. An SUP also allows the Planning Commission or City Council to request
additional conditions as part of the proposed development to help mitigate any undesirable
effects. Specific Use Permits, sometimes called Special Use Permits or Conditional Use Permits,
are being used in most communities in our region as well as many other cities throughout the
nation to address uses that, without modifications, tend to more intensely dominate the area in
which they are located than do other permitted uses in the district. It is important that care is
taken to integrate specific land uses with other uses in certain areas in order to prevent adverse
impacts to the community at- large.
PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING CODE
The proposed Owasso Zoning Code text amendment will transfer the duty of reviewing and
approving most Special Exceptions from the Board of Adjustment to the Planning Commission.
Additionally, the wording Special Exception will change to Specific Use Permit in several sections
of the zoning code. Finally, the proposed text amendments will establish a process of review for
Specific Use Permits. Below is the proposed process one would take when applying for a SUP,
and this language would be added to Chapter 13 of the Owasso Zoning Code.
The Board of Adjustment shall continue to take action on special exceptions for special situations
as outlined in Chapter 2 Section 240, Yards. These include carports, fences that exceed height
requirements, detached accessory building exceeding 750 SF, and for now temporary uses such
as Christmas tree sales, revival tents, etc. In the next few months, staff intends to explore the
option of changing the temporary use procedure from a Board of Adjustment action to an
administrative type of permit that has a specific time period and set fee.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning Commission approval of the following text amendments to the
Owasso Zoning Code:
Remove the language "Special Exception" and replace with "Specific Use Permit" in the
following chapters and sections
1. Chapter 3, Agricultural District Provisions, Section 310
2. Chapter 4, Residential District Provisions Sections 410.1, 410.2, 410.3, 410.4, and 410.5
3. Chapter 5, Office District Provisions Sections 510.1, 530
4. Chapter 6, Commercial District Provisions Sections 610.1, 610,2, 610.3, 640
5. Chapter 7, Industrial District Provisions, Sections 710,1, 710.2, 71 0.3
• Edit the following sections of Chapter 12, Board of Adjustment: 1280.1 A., E., and F., and
1280.2 Application.
• Edit Chapter 15, Telecommunication Towers, to require telecommunication towers be
processed as Specific Use Permits.
• Add language describing the review process for Specific Use Permits to Chapter 13,
Amendments.
• Edit the definition of a Special Exception in Chapter 14, Definitions and add a definition
for Specific Use Permit.
If approved, staff will present an ordinance reflecting such changes to the City Council on the
consent agenda at the January 4, 2011 City Council Meeting.
Specific Use Permit Procedure

This section provides a discretionary approval process for Specific Use Permits, which are

area in which they are located than do other permitted uses in the district. Care should be
taken to integrate specific land uses with other uses in the area and to prevent adverse impacts
on the community at- large. The procedure encourages public review and evaluation of a use's
operating characteristics and site development features. This review process is intended to
provide assurance to the community that such uses will be compatible with their locations and
surrounding land uses and will further the purposes of this Ordinance.
B, Relationship to Site Plan Requirements
A conceptual site plan shall be submitted with specific use permit application. The formal site
plan that is submitted later shall be in substantial compliance with the conceptual site plan
approved by the City Council.
