MEMORANDUM
TO: PLANNING COMM
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: CHIP McCULLEY
CITY PLANNER
SUBJECT: OZ 06 -09
DATE: December 4, 2006
The City of Owasso has received a request to review and approve the rezoning of approximately
150 acres, located at the southeast corner of East 7e Street North and Mingo Road from AG
agricultural to IL industrial. The property is 150 acres, currently undeveloped and zoned AG
agricultural, was annexed into Owasso in April, 2003. A general area map has been attached for
your review.
EXISTING AND SURROUNDING LAND USES:
The property is undeveloped and is bordered by 7e Street to the North, the SKO railroad tracks
to the east, and Mingo Road to the west. Fin -X Manufacturing and Wild Hairs Smoke Lodge are
north of the site and on the south side of East 76b Street North, while Sertoma, Group Blaksley,
and Owasso Public Works lie north of the property on the North side of East 76th Street. Across
the railroad tracks to the east are a variety of commercial industrial uses including FirstBank
Owasso, a mini - storage development, two wrecker services, and municipal facilities such as the
vehicle maintenance shop, animal shelter, skate park, and wastewater treatment plant. To the
south and west of the site are undeveloped agricultural acreages.
The subject property is zoned AG Agricultural, as are the territories to the south and west. Land
north of the property is zoned for agricultural, industrial, and commercial purposes. Properties
east of the railroad are zoned commercially and industrially.
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
The second step in the development of a piece of property in Owasso is rezoning. 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. Specific development concerns, such as drainage,
traffic, water /wastewater services, and stormwater detention are not able to be considered at the
zoning stage of the development process. Planned Unit Developments (PUD) are specific types
of zoning classifications applied to individual properties with site - specific development
requirements.
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. After the preliminary plat
has been reviewed by the City and various utility companies, construction plans for the
development's infrastructure are typically submitted and reviewed. 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.
ANALYSIS:
The City of Owasso has received a request to review and approve the rezoning of approximately
150 acres from (AG) Agriculture to (IL) Light Industrial. If the rezoning is approved, industrial
uses such as manufacturing facilities could be considered for the 150 acres on the south side of
East 76a' Street North.
The Owasso Land Use Master Plan was revised at the November meeting to allow for the
industrial development. The site is bordered by a mixture of industrial, commercial, and
undeveloped properties, and is located in the southern part of the community, the portion of
Owasso where planned industrial uses are already designated on the Master Plan. The staff finds
that the proposed land use would be compatible with the uses located on these nearby properties.
While there are no specific developments that have made formal applications to the City for the
property to this point, the site is being marketed to industrial uses. Different industrial users
have reviewed the site, and are considering pursuing industrial developments for the property.
Letters were mailed to surrounding property owners and the legal advertisement was published
in the Owasso Reporter.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends approval of OZ 06 -09.

MEMORANDUM
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: CHIP MCCULLEY
CITY PLANNER
SUBJECT: OPUD 06 -03
DATE: December 5, 2006
BACKGROUND
The City of Owasso has received a request to review and approve a proposed 1.93 acre Planned
Unit Development with an underlying zoning ofRM -2 Residential Multi- Family at the northwest
corner of East 116th Street North and North 129th East Avenue. The Prairie Village PUD
proposes 40 apartment units for senior citizens with low to moderate incomes. The staff has
verified that federal guidelines would prevent the development from changing in the future to
allow non - senior citizens to occupy the apartments.
EXISTING LAND USE
Undeveloped
SURROUNDING LAND USE
North: Large Lot Residential
South: Large Lot Residential/Agriculture
East: Agriculture
West: Large Lot Residential
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. Ordinance No.
808, adopted in February, 2005 requires all new multi - family developments be included within a
Planned Unit Development.
ANALYSIS:
OPUD 06 -03 (Prairie Village) is a proposed planned unit development (PUD) comprised of
approximately 1.93 acres. The development concept behind the Prairie Village PUD is for a
proposed housing development for seniors. The 1.93 acre site is located at the northwest comer
of East 116'h Street North and North 129h East Avenue. The site has approximately 425 feet of
frontage along East 116th Street North.
The proposed development consists of a two story building, including parking and drives. A
conceptual Site Plan is attached for your review as Exhibit "A ". The applicant is proposing a
35,500 sq. ft. building containing 40 dwelling units and related amenities. Unless modified by
the Planning Commission, the proposed structure will consists of wood construction with 80%
exterior brick masonry and 20% cementations board siding. All site lighting, landscaping, and
signage will be in accordance with the requirements of the City of Owasso.
Development Standards:
Land Area: 1.93 Acres
Maximum building Floor Area Ratio: 0.50
Proposed Floor Area Ratio: 0.23
Proposed Building Height: 45 Ft
Parking Ratio: One space per unit
The subject PUD application is part of a continuance of direction in the overall development
scheme for the area. The request to amend the master plan was made in conjunction with a
request to annex the property last month (November 2006). The staff finds that the site is located
at an arterial intersection. This location suggests that either commercial or transitional land uses
would be appropriate for the property as the Master Plan calls for nodal development patterns at
primary intersections like this one. Existing residential properties north, south, and west of the
site should be buffered from the future commercial developments that will occur east of North
129'h East Avenue. The proposed senior living development would provide such a buffer. The
staff finds that the proposed land use would be compatible with the uses located on these nearby
properties. Furthermore, the staff finds that the site is an appropriate location for senior multi-
family uses.
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.
FUTURE PLANNING ISSUES:
Future planning issues must still be considered if the PUD is approved. If approved, the
applicant must submit a plat, site plan, and infrastructure plans that must be approved by the City
of Owasso.
Sidewalks will be required along all public rights -of -way 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 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. Storm water detention is
required and will be further defined at the platting stage. The developer will be responsible for
extending sewer to the site.
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.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff intends to recommend approval of OPUD 06 -03 without condition.

MEMORANDUM
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: CHEIP MCCULLEY
CITY PLANNER
SUBJECT: OPUD 06 -04 (An Amendment to The Lakes at Bailey Ranch PUD)
DATE: December 5, 2006
BACKGROUND
The City of Owasso has received a request to review and approve an amendment to a proposed
225 acre Planned Unit Development located between 96th and 106th Streets North and between
Mingo and Garnett Roads. It should be noted this PUD represents a portion of the Larkin Bailey
Ranch that was previously approved by the Tulsa County Commission in June 1991 as PUD
#469.
EXISTING LAND USE
The majority of the property is yet undeveloped. A new water storage tank sits in the middle of
the property, and the Bailey Medical Center and medical office building are east of the storage
tank. The First Christian Church has begun construction on their new church in the southeastern
part of the PUD.
SURROUNDING LAND USE
North: Large Lot Residential and future Sportspark expansion area
South: Residential (El Rio Vista and Honey Creek)
East: Large Lot Residential and Sawgrass ParkBailey Ranch Estates
West: Large Lot Residential and undeveloped agricultural land
PRESENT ZONING
OPUD (The Lakes at Bailey Ranch Planned Unit Development)
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, Ordinance No.
808, adopted in February, 2005 requires all new multi- family developments be included within a
Planned Unit Development.
ANALYSIS:
OPUD 06 -04 (The Lakes at Bailey Ranch) is a proposed planned unit development (PUD)
comprised of approximately 225 acres. The development concept behind The Lakes at Bailey
Ranch PUD is mixed use development situated on rolling terrain that features tree lined creeks
and scattered farm ponds. Aside from a very small portion of the property that is located within
the 100 year floodplain, the site has excellent development possibilities.
The outline development plan shows the various land uses and their relationship to each other in
this 225 acre site. Anticipated to be developed in such a way that the less intense land uses will
be buffered from the more intense land uses by means of greenbelts, lakes and landscape buffers,
and/or through a hierarchy of more intense to less intense land uses. These greenbelt/lake buffer
areas will feature existing and proposed lakes that will function both aesthetically as well as
provide stormwater detention. These areas will also contain areas of passive and active
recreational activities. In addition to the aesthetic, recreational and stormwater detention
functions this area will afford, the buffering of the more intense land uses from the less intense
land uses is vitally important. In the low lying creek area to be developed into lakes and
walkways, a 404 permit from the Corp. of Engineers will be required. This permitting process is
underway.
Below is the Data Summary of the proposed amendment to the PUD.

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.
FUTURE PLANNING ISSUES:
Future planning issues must still be considered if the PUD is approved. If approved, the
applicant must submit a plat, site plan, and infrastructure plans that must be approved by the City
of Owasso.
Sidewalks will be required along all public rights -of -way 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 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. Storm water detention is
required and will be further defined at the platting stage. The developer will be responsible for
extending sewer to the site.
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.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff intends to recommend approval of OPUD 06 -04 without condition.

CITY PLANNER
SUBJECT: FINAL PLAT (Keys Landing - I)
DATE: December 6, 2006
The City of Owasso has received an application to review the final plat for Keys Landing — I. The
applicant is proposing 139 residential lots, on approximately 39.06 acres of property zoned RS -3
(Residential Single- Family). The general location of the subject property is on the west side of
North 129h East Avenue, approximately 112. mile north of East 66'" Street North, just south of the
Baptist Retirement Village. A general area map is attached.
EXISTING LAND USE:
Undeveloped
SURROUNDING LAND USE:
North: Baptist Retirement Village
South: Agriculture
East: Agriculture
West: Agriculture
PRESENT ZONING:
RS -3 (Residential Single - Family)
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS:
The three primary steps in the development of residential property in Owasso include annexation,
zoning, and platting.
The third step in the development of property is platting. A preliminary plat is required for any
development that proposes to divide land into two or more lots. 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.
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.
ANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting this review in order to facilitate 139 residential lots, on approximately
39.06 acres of property zoned RS -3 (Residential Single - Family). According to the Owasso Zoning
Code, single family uses are included in Use Unit 6, and are allowed by right on property zoned RS -3.
Whenever any subdivision of land is proposed, before any permit for the erection of a structure in such
proposed subdivision shall be granted, the owner of the land or his agent shall apply for and secure
both Planning Commission and City Council approval of a final plat for such proposed subdivision.
The Final Plat review process gives the citizens of Owasso the opportunity to actively participate in the
physical development and layout of the city.
The development will be served by City of Owasso sewer and water. The Final Plat meets Owasso
Zoning Code Bulk and Area requirements. The lot and block specifications established in the plat
layout are adequate for the development of single family homes.
TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE:
The Owasso Technical Advisory Committee reviewed the final plat at the November 29, 2006
regular meeting. At that meeting, utility providers, as well as staff, are afforded the opportunity
to comment on the plat and request any additions and/or concerns. The Technical Advisory made
the following recommendations:
1. Applicant must show a second access for emergency access.
2. Final Plat Covenants need to show the standard language for the utility providers
3. Clause 1.7 of the covenants should read "City of Owasso".
4. Applicant must indicate pad elevation on lots in Block 4.
5. Applicant needs to make the drainage easement into a reserve area.
6. Applicant must indicate street names and addresses prior to the filing of the plat.
7. Project is subject to $624.00 storm siren fee as well as $61,620.00 sanitary sewer
payback fee.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Keys Landing I Final Plat subject to the above conditions.

TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: CHIP MCCULLEY
CITY PLANNER
SUBJECT: SITE PLAN (Aldi)
DATE: December 6, 2006
BACKGROUND:
The City of Owasso has received a request to review and recommend approval a site plan
proposing a 9,454 sq. ft. commercial facility on 2 acres of property zoned CS (Commercial
Shopping District), located east of the Owasso Expressway, just south of the Tyann Plaza
Shopping Center.
EXISTING LAND USE:
Undeveloped
SURROUNDING LAND USE:
North: Tyann Plaza I
South: Undeveloped
East: Smith Elementary School
West: Owasso Expressway
PRESENT ZONING:
CS (Commercial Shopping)
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS:
The four primary steps in the development of commercial property in Owasso include annexation,
zoning, platting, and site planning.
The third step in the development of property is platting. A preliminary plat is required for any
development that proposes to divide land into two or more lots. 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.
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.
SITE PLAN REVIEW PROCESS
The Site Plan review process is initiated when a developer or builder of a particular project
submits an application for a site plan review to the City of Owasso. The application typically
includes a site plan, grading and drainage plan, erosion control plan, utility plan, and landscape
plan.
The review of the site plan begins with a thorough analysis by the City Planner and City Engineer
for compliance with the Owasso Zoning Code, Subdivision Regulations, and Engineering Design
Criteria.
The Site Plan is then presented to the Owasso Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) for review.
The TAC review board provides comments on the technical aspects of the plan and presents a
recommendation along with the City staff to the Owasso Planning Commission.
The Owasso Planning Commission holds a public hearing to determine if the site plan is compliant
with city standards. The Planning Commission may grant approval of the plan as presented or
with conditions. If the Planning Commission grants approval, the applicant then makes any and
all prescribed changes and submits a final copy to the City Planner. Once the final site plan is
received and reviewed for compliance with the conditions of approval, the applicant may proceed
with the development process.
ANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting this review in order to facilitate a 9,454 sq. ft. commercial facility on
approximately 2 acres. The subject property is zoned CS (Shopping Center District). According
to the City of Owasso Zoning Code, uses allowed in CS districts include offices, studios,
restaurants, convenience stores, shopping centers, service stations, etc.
The proposed development is consistent with the Owasso 2015 Land Use Master Plan as it calls
for Commercial zoning in the area. It is also complimentary with the current development in the
area.
The site plan meets all Owasso Zoning Code and Subdivision regulations with the exception of the
requirements stated as part of the Technical Advisory Committee recommendations. The bulk and
area specifications for this site are more than adequate for the placement and accommodation of
concurrent requirements imposed on commercial facility's such as that proposed in this site plan. It will
be provided water and sewer services by the City of Owasso. The development must adhere to the City
of Owasso's outdoor lighting, landscaping, and sign codes. Storm water calculations must be
submitted to the city engineer and approved before the issuance of a building permit.
TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Owasso Technical Advisory Committee reviewed the site plan at the November 29, 2006
regular meeting. At that meeting, utility providers, as well as staff, are afforded the opportunity
to comment on the plat and request any additions and /or concerns. At the meeting the committee
recommended approval of the site plan with the following conditions.
1. The applicant must show the overall site of the development on the location map.
2. The impervious area should read "increase".
3. The applicant must submit cut sheets for lighting.
4. The applicant must show landscaping to be per the landscape plan.
S. Would like to see raised islands for circulation purposes.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff intends to recommend approval of the Aldi site plan subject to the above
recommendations.

TO: PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBERS
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: ERIC WILES
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: PROPOSED UPDATE TO THE OWASSO ZONING CODE
DATE: November 28, 2006
BACKGROUND:
At the October City Council work session, the staff presented the proposed update to the Owasso
Zoning Code. The Code was last adopted on June 5, 1984. With the update, the staff seeks to make
the code easier to use and understand, while at the same time improving the safeguards that the Code
provides to citizens who may be impacted by nearby development. So far, the staff has received input
on the proposed zoning code from the City Council and from individual Planning Commission
members, developers, and members of the Owasso Economic Development Authority (OEDA). That
input has been used to revise the proposed Code, which is being presented to the public, City Council,
Planning Commission, OEDA, and the development community at a series of public meetings in
November and December.
The proposed Code is significantly different in substance and scope than the existing code, and this
memo attempts to explain what changes are proposed, as well as the reasons behind those proposed
changes. In order to focus on substance, this report highlights the proposed changes that will truly
modify the way we do things, and many changes that have to do with grammar and sentence structure
are not mentioned here.
CHAPTER1:
The only proposed change of significance in the introductory chapter of the code is that rezonings of
property would be allowed at the time of annexation. Currently, the City may only bring in annexed
property in the AG Agricultural District or in the zoning district previously granted by the county in
which the property is located. The proposed change would allow a property to be brought into the
City of Owasso at the previous existing zoning classification at the time of annexation. The staff has
researched the state enabling legislation, and has found no provision in the statutes that would prevent
a property from being rezoned at the time of annexation. Of course, the proposed change comes with
a requirement that any rezoning at the time of annexation meet the same public notice requirements as
all other rezonings.
The reason for this proposed change is that it could potentially remove a month from the time required
to develop property in Owasso, and would still afford the City staff; Planning Commission, and City
Council ample opportunity to review and consider any proposed land use change that would come in
conjunction with an annexation request.
CHAPTER 2 (GENERAL PROVISIONS):
The first significant proposed change to Chapter 2 is that the RM -1 and RM -2 Multi - Family
Residential zoning districts be combined into one RM zoning district. The main reason behind this
change is the recently adopted ordinance requiring all multi- family developments to be included within
a Planned Unit Development (PUD). Minimum bulk and area requirements such as lot size and width,
setbacks, and height are provided in the proposed code at the same levels currently provided for the
RM -2 district of the existing code, and these standards may be made more restrictive as part of the
PUD. These bulk and area requirements do not vary substantially in the existing code between RM 1
districts and RM -2 districts, except that a height limitation of 26 feet is placed on RM -1 developments,
and setback requirements are currently more restrictive in RM -1 districts than in RM 2 districts.
Nonetheless, there may be occasions that it becomes necessary to require multi- family developments to
adhere to more stringent standards, and the PUD vehicle makes it possible to do so.
The second significant proposed change to Chapter 2 is the removal of the FD Floodway Supplemental
District. Floodways are already delineated in the City's flood maps, and regulated by the flood damage
prevention ordinance that remains a part of the zoning code. The City has no FD zoning districts
currently, and the staff does not foresee the need to have FD zoning districts in the future, since
floodway developments are already regulated as a regular part of our development review process.
The staff has researched FEMA's requirements as they relate to the City's regulatory obligations, and
has found no requirement that the City have an FD zoning district in its zoning code.
The third significant proposed change to Chapter 2 is the replacement of Section 250 — Screening Wall
or Fence — with a new chapter to the zoning code, Chapter 16 — Fencing Requirements. These new
requirements consist of five basic rules: 1) all residential developments that back up to any arterial or
highway shall be screened by a solid opaque fence, except that a decorative fence may be used adjacent
to the subdivision's park or similar amenity; 2) all non - residential developments adjacent to residential
developments shall be screened by a solid opaque fence; 3) all required fences constructed of wood
shall have vertical support posts constructed of steel, masonry columns, pvc posts, or some other
permanent building material; 4) all braces and supports must be located on the inside of the fence; and
5) footings shall be constructed of concrete or equivalent material.
CHAPTER 3 (AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT PROVISIONS)•
The first significant proposed change to Chapter 3 (and following chapters) is that use units have been
removed. Replacing the use units are lists of specific uses allowed by right and allowed by special
exception in the zoning district. This change is designed to increase the ease of use of the zoning code,
and is also designed to increase the clarity of exactly what types of uses are allowed within the
individual zoning districts. The parking requirements that were attached to each use unit are now listed
in Chapter 9 — Off - street Parking Requirements.
The second significant proposed change to Chapter 3 (and following chapters) is that signage
requirements have been replaced by Chapter 18 — Signs — the incorporation of the Owasso Sign Code
adopted in 2003.
CHAPTER 4 (RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT PROVISION&
The first significant proposed change to Chapter 4 is that recreational vehicles must be parked upon a
paved surface. This rule has been made by interpretation up to now, and the proposed code clearly
states that rule.
The second significant proposed change to Chapter 4 is that the maximum allowed structure height in
single - family districts is increased from 26' to 35' in order to accommodate large houses with steep
roof pitches now commonly constructed in Owasso.
The third significant proposed change to Chapter 4 is that side yard setbacks in RS -1, RS -2, and RS -3
districts are now 5' for both side yards, effectuating the side yard ordinance passed by the City Council
in 2006.
CHAPTER 5 (OFFICE DISTRICT PROVISIONS):
The first significant proposed change to Chapter 5 (and other chapters) is that site plans will now be
reviewed by the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and the Community Development Department
and will not be required to go to the Planning Commission for review and approval. The reason for
this proposed change is the technical nature of site plan reviews in order to determine their compliance
with the code on issues such as setbacks, drainage, bulk and area requirements, etc. Further, this
change will save applicants approximately two weeks of review time because once the TAC and the
staff approve a site plan it will not have to wait for Planning Commission approval before receiving a
building permit or earth change permit. Similarly to the current process, site plans that are not
approved (or approved with conditions) by the Community Development Department and the TAC
may be appealed to the City Council.
CHAPTER 6 (C014 IERCIAL DISTRICT PROVISIONS)•
The first significant proposed change to Chapter 6 is that the sexually oriented businesses ordinance
passed by the City Council in 2004 replaces the old language about such businesses in the zoning code.
Sexually oriented businesses are required to be located at least 1,000 feet from any church, school,
park, or residential zoning district.
CHAPTER 7 (INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT PROVISIONS)•
There are no significant proposed changes to Chapter 7 other than those explained previously in this
memorandum.
CHAPTER 8 (PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS AND OVERLAY DISTRICTS):
The first significant proposed change to Chapter 8 is its six stated goals and purposes: To produce 1) a
maximum choice in the types of environment and living units available to the public, 2) open space and
recreation areas, 3) a pattern of development that preserves natural features and prevents soil erosion,
4) a creative approach to the use of land and related physical development, 5) an efficient use of land
resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets and thereby lowering costs, and 6) an environment
of stable character in harmony with the surrounding development.
The second significant proposed change to Chapter 8 is that PUDs must be at least three acres in size,
except for multi- family PUDs (all multi -family developments in Owasso are already required to be
located within a PUD).
The third significant proposed change to Chapter 8 is that there are no specifically prescribed uses that
are permitted within the boundaries of a PUD, as there are in the existing zoning code. The staff
recommends this change in order to maximize the city's flexibility in accommodating new
developments to the community.
The fourth significant proposed change to Chapter 8 is that there is a maximum number of dwelling
units permitted within a PUD, depending upon both the type and number of each type of residential
unit intended to be included in the PUD. For example, four dwelling units per acre will be allowed for
single - family detached houses. This change is intended to promote a variety of residential dwelling
types and other uses within PUDs.
While the number of single - family detached dwellings in a PUD is limited to four per gross
development acre, the maximum number of dwelling units permitted within a PUD may be increased to
5 dwelling units per acre if the dwelling units within the PUD are a minimum of 1,800 square feet in
floor area, and at least four of the following amenities are provided: 1) a trails system, other than
required sidewalks; 2) a neighborhood swimming pool; 3) a neighborhood park; 4) masonry screening
around the perimeter; 5) irrigated landscaping at the development entrance, 6) decorative, pedestrian-
oriented streetlights; or 7) other amenities as may be determined by the Community Development
Department and Planning Commission to significantly improve the quality of life in the development.
The fifth significant proposed change to Chapter 8 is that a property owners association is required for
all PUDs, and one responsibility of the property owners association is to maintain areas of commonly -
owned open space. The Property Owners' Association shall be formed and operational by the time
that seventy percent (70%) of the lots within the PUD have been permitted for development.
Associations will not be allowed to assess lots differently from each other based on ownership once the
association takes control of the maintenance of the subdivision. This change will keep associations
from charging a certain amount per lot for homeowner -owned lots, while charging a different amount
per lot for developer -owned lots.
The sixth significant proposed change to Chapter 8 is that prior to a PUD application's submittal to
the Planning Commission, the applicant must prepare a pre - application plan, or "sketch plan', and
review this preliminary plan with the Community Development Department. This change is designed
to provide information to the city of the developer's intention with respect to the nature and scope of
the proposed PUD and to allow the developer to be informed of the city's regulations and policies
concerning development alternatives for the area.
The eighth significant proposed change to Chapter 8 is that provisions for overlay districts are spelled
out. Overlay districts provide requirements for specific areas of the community that are in addition to
regular zoning district requirements, and may be viewed as a type of city- initiated PUD. This change is
designed to provide enhanced standards to protect and enhance the unique characteristics of specific
areas and/or corridors while providing for development opportunities. These characteristics may
include natural scenic beauty, manmade features or other features. Overlay districts may also be used
to protect or facilitate a particular design theme established through specific architectural styles.
CHAPTER 9 (OFF-STREET PARE) NG REOUH2EMENTS)•
Chapter 9 is proposed as a new chapter to the zoning code, replacing Chapter 11. Unlike the existing
code, which specifies parking requirements by use unit, the proposed new chapter requires a specific
number of parking spaces for each specific use, such as single-family dwellings, department stores,
hospitals, manufacturing facilities, etc.
Chapter 9 also differs from the existing code in that a required number of loading berths by land use is
not provided. Loading berth requirements will be determined by the applicant and the TAC on a case
by case basis, as necessitated by the specific use.
Further, Chapter 9 repkaces the phrase "dust -free, all- weather surface" with the phrase "paved off -
street parling areas ", in order to eliminate ambiguity and confusion about what types of parking
surfaces are allowed.
Another change proposed in Chapter 9 is that all commercial, industrial, and multi-family off-street
parldng areas with more than five parking spaces must be screened from any adjacent residentially
zoned property, either by berm or by an opaque fence.
CHAPTER 10 (NONCONFORMITIES), CHAPTER 11 (ENFORCEMENT)q AND
CHAPTER 12 BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT):
With the proposed new zoning code, the staff is not recommending significant changes to the
Nonconformities, Enforcement, and Board of Adjustment chapters of the code.
CHAPTER 13 (AMENDMENTS):
The only significant proposed change to Chapter 13 is that zoning map amendments must be in
compliance with the Owasso Land Use Master Plan. This is not really a change, since the policy of
requiring zoning to match the land use plan has been in place since the plan was adopted in 2004, but
this proposal would place the policy directly into the zoning code.
CHAPTER 14 (DEFINTI'IONS):
With the proposed new zoning code, the staff is not recommending significant changes to the
Definitions chapter of the code.
CHAPTER 15 (TELECOMMUNICATION TOWERS):
Chapter 15 is proposed as a new chapter to the zoning code. It is simply a re- statement of the
telecommunication towers ordinance passed by the City Council in 1997. No changes to the
telecommunication towers regulations are proposed.
CM..F4i %Y 1LIEMI i�Cfl11a :
As covered in more detail previously in this memorandum, chapter 16 is proposed as a new chapter to
the zoning code.
CHAPTER 17 (FLOOD HAZARD REGULATIONS):
Chapter 17 is a proposed new chapter to the zoning code (currently it is not a chapter, but an
appendix). The three minor changes to the flood hazard regulations that have been passed by the City
Council over the past four years in order to comply with FEMA's requests have been included within
this proposed chapter.
CHAPTER 18 (SIGNS):
Chapter 18 is proposed as a new chapter to the zoning code. It is essentially a re- statement of the sign
ordinance passed by the City Council in 2003. There are two minor proposed changes to the sign
regulations:
1) Signs at service stations that are attached to gasoline pumps or other similar dispensing or
servicing devices are allowed, as well as signs and required regulatory information that are an
integral part of the service station operation. In no way does this change allow snipe signs and
pennants at service stations, and banners at service stations must be permitted as they are at
other uses.
2) Signs that are posted on windows of commercial/office uses and not designed to be read from
a point offthe property will be allowed by the new zoning code.
The only significant proposed change to the signs chapter (and the outdoor lighting and landscape
chapters) is the provision for how the standards may be changed, or promulgated. With these three
chapters, it is proposed that the City Manager have the ability to amend the regulations as it is deemed
necessary. Any changes or additions to these three chapters would, after notification to the City
Council and the public, lay open for consideration for 30 days. During this time, the City Council
would have the ability to disapprove the changes in part or in whole. If not disapproved within the 30
days allotted, the new Hiles and regulations would have the force and effect of law. Such rules
regarding promulgation were a part of the landscape regulations when they were adopted in January,
2006.
CHAPTER 19 (OUTDOOR LIGHTING):
Chapter 19 is proposed as a new chapter to the zoning code. It is simply a re- statement of the outdoor
lighting ordinance passed by the City Council in 2005. No changes to the outdoor lighting regulations
are proposed.
CHAPTER 20 (LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS):
Chapter 20 is proposed as a new chapter to the zoning code. It is simply a re- statement of the
landscaping regulations passed by the City Council in a resolution in January, 2006. No changes to the
landscaping regulations are proposed.
CHAPTER 21 (ACCESS GATES FOR GATED COMMUNPHUS):
Chapter 21 is proposed as a new chapter to the zoning code. It is simply a re- statement of the gated
communities ordinance passed by the City Council in 2006. No changes to the gated communities
regulations are proposed.
APPENDICES D AND E ( OWASSO PLANNING COMMISSION AND OWASSO BOARD
OF ADJUSTMENT):
The only significant change to the two appendices is the removal of the secretary position of those
boards. The Community Development staff performs the secretarial duties of these bodies, and has for
many years. Neither the Board of Adjustment nor the Planning Commission currently has a designated
secretary.
The staff recommends approval of the proposed zoning code.
