TO: The Owasso Planning Comission City of Owasso FROM: Larissa Domaby City Planner SUBJECT: A Request for Rezoning of 25.31 Acres Located'/ of a Mile North of East 1061h Street North and Just East of the Owasso Expressway DATE: September 7, 2010 BACKGROUND: At the August 17, 2010 City Council meeting the final plat for the Tulsa Technology Center (TTC) campus was approved. Upon further investigation, staff discovered that the T1C properly described by the legal description for the final plat contained 3 different zoning classifications: office medium (OM) covering 30 acres, commercial shopping (CS) covering 14.65 acres, and agricultural (AG) covering 10.66 acres (see Exhibit A). While two of the zoning classifications permit a college campus (CS and OM), the AG zoned portion does not. This presents a conflict with respect to the campus being located in the AG zoned portion of the property. In order to ensure a unified zoning pattern for the TTC site, the City of Owasso requests that 25.31 acres be rezoned from Agricultural and Commercial Shopping zoning designations to Office Medium zoning. The subject tract was previously two separate tracts, with one tract consisting of 10.66 acres zoned Agricultural, and another tract consisting of 14.65 acres zoned Commercial Shopping. The purpose of this case is to bring unity to the TTC final plat by rezoning the CS and AG sections to Office Medium, similar to the remaining portion of the properly. In 2000, the 10.66 acre tract was intended to be rezoned to an Office Medium designation (Case OZ 00 -03). However, upon further research a scrivener's error was identified within the legal description that was placed on the ordinance. In 2000, the applicant submitted a separate drawing, which illustrated the intent of what was to be rezoned; however, due to the scrivener's error in the legal description, the 10.66 acre tract was omitted (see Exhibit B). Since all property owners within 300' of the 10.66 acre tract were notified at that time, the evidence suggests that this was merely an error within the legal description. In 2001, the 14.65 acre tract was rezoned as part of OPUD 01 -04 which contained a total of 89.34 acres. This tract was rezoned to a Commercial Shopping zoning designation, which allows a college campus as a permitted use. In light of the scrivener's error, staff finds it is in the best interest to rezone the entire TTC parcel, containing 3 different zoning designations, to one zoning designation, Office Medium. These two tracts being comprised of 25.31 acres will bring the entire Tulsa Technology Center Plat into an Office Medium zoning designation. A general area map of the properties being rezoned is attached for review. SURROUNDING ZONING: North: City of Owasso Commercial Shopping East: City of Owasso Agricultural South: City of Owasso Office Medium West: City of Owasso Agricultural PROPERTY CHARACTERISTICS: The subject property is approximately 25.31 acres in size. The properly is served by Rural Water District No. 3 of Washington County and City of Owasso sanitary sewer, police, fire, and EMS service. 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 submitted. These plans include specifications and drawings for stonnwater 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. The fourth step in the development of a piece of property In Owasso is the site plan. 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. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS OF ZONING REQUESTS: Section 1500 of the Owasso Zoning Code outlines the city's policy on zoning amendments. The code states that amendments will be adopted to recognize changes in the Comprehensive Plan, or to recognize changing conditions in a particular area or in the jurisdictional area. Zoning changes must be based on two fundamental questions: 1) Does the requested zoning allow a land use that is appropriate for the subject property, and 2) Is the requested zoning in conformance with the Owasso Land Use Master Plan? Development considerations such as traffic, roads, grading, drainage, storrnwater detention, utilities, rights -of -way, etc, are not to be considered until the platting stage of development. At the platting (and site planning) stage, the Planning Commission, municipal staff, and the Technical Advisory Committee work with the applicant to solve these types of specific development concerns. The proposed development for this property is unknown. CONFORMANCE TO MASTER PLAN DESIGNATION: The requested zoning designation, Office Medium (OM), is consistent within the Owasso Land Use Master Plan's designation for the property. ANALYSIS: The property is generally located % of a mile north of East 106th Street North, just east of the Owasso Expressway and is adjacent to compatible zoning designations. The requested Office Medium zoning designation, which will allow for the future development of a college campus, is found to be in accordance with the Owasso Land Use Master Plan. Any development that occurs on the subject property must adhere to all subdivision, zoning and engineering requirements, including, but not limited to, paved drives, parking, landscaping, and storm water detention. Sewer service will be provided by the City of Owasso and water service will be provided by Rural Water District No. 3 of Washington County. Letters were mailed to surrounding property owners and the legal advertisement was published in the Owasso Reporter. Copies of both the letter to property owners and the legal advertisement are attached for your information and review. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of OZ -10-02. ANNEXATION: A.
