The City of Owasso initially received a preliminary plat for Windsor Lake III in May for review
at the Technical Advisory Committee and Planning Commission meetings. Due to several
"changes" recommended at the TAC meeting and due to the addition of four lots from the
amended Windsor Lake II final plat, staff strongly recommended that Mr. Chamey and Mr.

SUBJECT: PRELIl1IIINARY PLAT - BARRINGTON POINT
DATE: June 7, 1993
BACKGROUND:
The City of Owasso initially received a preliminary plat for Barrington Point in May for review
at the Technical Advisory Committee and Planning Commission meetings. Due to several
"changes" recommended at the TAC meeting and due to staff's recommendation of the developer
providing access to unsubdivided land to the east, staff recommended that Mr. Kourtis resubmit
the preliminary plat for Barrington Point in order to address these concerns and to allow the
Planning Commission to view both Barrington Point and Windsor Lake III together as they are
abutting properties. The enclosed preliminary plat has addressed those changes previously
recommended by staff.
At the June 2, 1993 TAC meeting, the Barrington Point preliminary plat was reviewed again.

MEMORANDUM
TO: THE OWASSO PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: TIMOTHY ROONEY, CITY PLANNER
SUBJECT: FINAL PLAT - OWASSO COMMERCIAL CENTER II
DATE: June 7, 1993
BACKGROUND:
Enclosed is a copy of the final plat for Owasso Commercial Center H. As you may recall, this
subject property has been heard by the Planning Commission in regards to annexation and zoning
in previous months. Because the essentials of a preliminary plat were presented at that time as
well, Planning Staff is requesting that this plat be processes as a Final Plat due to its simplified
nature. `
The Preliminary Plat was presented to the Owasso Technical Advisory Committee at its June 2,
1993 meeting. Comments received regarding this plat concerned misspellings within the
covenants on the plat itself. The applicant is aware of those errors.
In addition to the Technical Advisory Committee review, this item was reviewed by the Owasso
Board of Adjustment for a variance request. The applicants were required to obtain a variance
because of the property not meeting the bulk and area requirements of a CG (Commercial
General) District.
The applicants have submitted an agreement to obtain a private easement through the La Petite
property in order to provide a private sewer service line to their property. Staff has further
reviewed these plans and has found no problems or issues of concern.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the final plat for Owasso Commercial Center.

MEMORANDUM
TO: THE OWASSO PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: TIMOTHY ROONEY, CITY PLANNER
SUBJECT: TEXT AMENDMENT TO ALLOW BEAUTY SALONS /BARBER
SHOPS IN OM ZONING DISTRICTS
DATE: May 27, 1993
BACKGROUND
The City of Owasso currently permits beauty salons /barber shops in OL and OM districts by
Special Exception through the Owasso Board of Adjustment providing that they are established
by means of an accessory use. Accessory use definitions are very clear in the Owasso Zoning
Code in the sense that they are only permitted in a principal structure and shall not occupy more
than 10% of the gross floor area of the structure. The accessory uses permitted in an OL
district by Special Exception are as follows:
1. Barber Shop 6. Liquor Store
2. Beauty Shop 7. Newsstand
3. Book Store 8. Medical, Dental, Optical, and
Orthopedic Supplies
(prescription service only)
4. Florist 9. Office Supplies
5. Gift, Novelty 10. Tobacco, Candy, Nut Store
Uses that are permitted in an OM district by right are the following:
Abstract company, advertising agency, artist's studio, broadcasting or recording studio,
computing service, copying service, data processing service; drafting service, dental clinic and
lab, employment agency, financial institution (other than pawn shop), funeral home, general
business offices excluding on premise sale of merchandise, interior design (no retail sales),
medical offices, clinics, and laboratories, optician or optical offices or laboratories, photography
studio, prescription pharmacy (provided that no sundry or other merchandise is sold or offered
for sale), studio or school for teaching ballet, dance, drama, fine arts, music, language,
business, or modeling, transportation ticket office, travel agency, and veterinary office
(excluding boarding services).
When one reviews the list of activities permitted outright in an OM district, as well as those
permitted as- an accessory use requiring Board of Adjustment approval, there are in staff's
opinion some inconsistencies.
When staff began reviewing the possibilities as to why beauty salons /barber shops were not also
permitted in an OM district as separate entities, rather than as an accessory use, many different
viewpoints of information were offered.
It appears that at the time of establishing the zoning code, the permitted activities within an OM
district were strictly limited to those that did not involve the retail sale or display of merchandise
as is specified numerous times in the list above. It also appears that those accessory uses
permitted by Special Exception in an OL or OM district were more so directed toward an urban
atmosphere or "downtown Tulsa ". Many times services like those are offered in the ground
floor of high rise office buildings.
In addition, some of the uses permitted in the OM district by right have evolved to points where
they also display and sell retail items. For instance medical offices, dance studios, travel
agencies and veterinary offices often times sell retail items associated with their trade. While
staff believes attention should be paid to the amount of retail sales and merchandise displayed
in OM districts, it also understands that standards derived from a Zoning Code for the City of
Tulsa may not necessarily be appropriate for the City of Owasso.
For instance, when one directs the attention away from the "retail" concerns and refocuses on
the "intensity" of the use, the inequities are prevalent. The amount of traffic generated and
involved with a bank or other financial institution creates a much greater impact than that of a
broadcasting or recording studio. The question arises as to which issue is more important when
protecting the public health, safety, and welfare of Owasso' citizens; whether or not retail sales
are involved or the amount of impact it could have on a surrounding neighborhood.
It is staff's feeling that the Owasso Zoning Code should be amended to permit beauty
salons /barber shops to operate in an OM district by Special Exception. This would allow the
Owasso Board of Adjustment to place conditions on applicants requesting this Special Exception.
Amount of floor area utilized for the display of retail items, hours of operation, and signage
could all be restricted in some manner as a condition of approval by the Board of Adjustment.
It would also permit the Board of Adjustment to review traffic impact, building elevations, and
compatibility of surrounding uses on a site specific basis.
Staff spoke with area Planners from surrounding cities of Owasso's size prior to bringing this
amendment request to your attention. Some of the issues presented in this report are a direct
result of those conversations, with all in agreement that a strict application of a Tulsa based
zoning code may not always be in the best interest of its surrounding cities. It is staff's opinion
that this is just such an example.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending Planning Commission approval of a text amendment to the Owasso
Zoning Code Section 510 to permit beauty salons /barber shops in OM districts by Special
Exception.
MEMORANDUM
TO: THE OWASSO PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: RODNEY J. RAY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETINGS
DATE: June 9, 1993
As you are aware, conflicts between the Owasso Planning Commission and Municipal Court,
in regards to the use of the meeting room at the Community Center, continue to surface.
Originally, Owasso Municipal Court was to utilize the meeting room at the Community Center
every Thursday evening except the third Thursday of each month in order to allow the Planning
Commission to utilize that room. However, more recently the Municipal Court due to an
increase in case load, has had to occasionally add an additional night. When it is necessary for
the Municipal Court to add an additional night, it is the third Thursday of each month.
Recently, I had the opportunity to meet with Judge Hilsabeck regarding the meeting conflict and
investigated the possibilities of scheduling the Municipal Court nights for a different evening of
the week. Currently, such a rescheduling by the Court is not possible.
Mr. Rooney has made me well aware of the Planning Commission's concerns when meeting in
the alternate room in the Community Center. Unfortunately, as long as the case load through
the Municipal Court continues at its current rate or increases, the conflicts in the scheduling of
the meeting room will not decrease.
In effort to avoid this conflict, I am requesting that the Planning Commission consider and
discuss the possibilities of scheduling their meetings to a different evening. Any Monday
evening or the second Tuesday of each month is available for your consideration in the upcoming
year. Such a move would decrease the likelihood of a conflict, however please note that this
is simply a request for discussion of an idea. Decisions relating to your meeting times are
exclusively yours, and I would hope this request would not be viewed as a directive rather than
a request.
I would like to apologize for the confusion regarding this matter. If you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Rooney or myself at 272 -2251.
