3. FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH (29- 21 -14) - A Request to Rezone a
Tract of Land from RD (Residential Duplex) District to OM (Office
Medium Intensity) District, Generally Located South of the
Southwest Corner of 123rd East Avenue and 86th Street North, City
of Owasso, Tulsa County, Oklahoma.
The Chair introduced the case and staff reviewed the background_
The subject tract is abutted on the North by a medical office zoned
CG, on the West by a nursing home zoned RM -1, on the South by a
residential neighborhood zoned RS -3, and on the West by a large
drainage ditch and the First Christian Church zoned RS -3. The
applicant is requesting OM zoning on the tract presently zoned RD,
with three buildings eventually being located on the site. There
would be a driveway access to 123rd East Avenue and a bridge over
the drainage ditch to the existing church parking lot. The
Planning Commission approved the site plan at their September 20,
1990 meeting.
Since commercial zoning has been allowed on the tracts North of the
j subject tract, office zoning on the subject tract is appropriate
and would provide a buffer zone between the existing commercial and
residential zoning. To allow a transitional zoning pattern, staff
recommends approval of the requested OM zoning on Lots 1 -4
(northerly four lots) and denial of OM zoning on Lots 5 & 6
(southerly two lots), Block 1, Elm Creek Condominiums Amended.
Because the Code allows the Planning Commission to consider a less
intense office zoning classification than what was requested, staff
recommends approval of OL zoning on Lots 5 & 6.
The applicant was present to speak in favor of the zoning request
and to answer questions from the Planning Commission and the
public_ Several citizens from the neighborhood were present and
spoke against the zoning change. They expressed concern about
drainage, types of services, and increased traffic. Following a
lengthy discussion on the question of increased traffic,
Commissioner Gary Wells questioned the citizens about their "real"
concerns. Several of the citizens then stated that they were
concerned about the type of services the church would be offering,
also stating that they didn't want their families exposed to "that
type" of people. D.M. Sokolosky expressed favor for the zoning
change and commended the church for wanting to provide counseling
and other "caring" services to the community_
Following further discussion, Rick Johnson moved to recommend to
the City Council approval of the requested OM (Medium- Intensity
Office) zoning on Lots 1 -4, and OL (Low- Intensity Office) zoning on
Lots 5 & 6, Block 1, Elm Creek Condominiums Amended. Motion was
seconded by Gary Wells. A vote on the motion was recorded as
follows:
Rick Johnson - Yes
Gary Wells - Yes
Pat Imbriano - Yes
Charles Willey - No
The motion carried 3 -1.
4. New Business - None.
5. DISCUSSION OF DEVELOPMENT IN AND NEAR OWASSO - Discussion
centered around the 86th Street North and North Cedar project,
including traffic control and eventual signalization.
