R Communi0 ty TO: The Owasso Board of Adjustment FROM: Alexa Beemer, AICP, Planning Manager SUBJECT: OBOA 25-07 - Special Exception - 8703 North 124th East Avenue DATE: June 18, 2025 BACKGROUND: The Community Development Department received a request for a Special Exception to allow for the construction of an accessory structure exceeding the maximum allowed square footage in a Residential Single -Family (RS-3) district. The subject property is located at 8703 North 124th East Avenue, legally described as Lot Seven (7), Block Eight (8), Lakeridge First Addition. SUBJECT PROPERTY/PROJECT DATA: Property Size 0.30 acres +/- Current Zoning Residential Single -Family (RS-3) Within an Overlay District? No Within a PUD? No Proposed Structure Accessory Dwelling Unit (approx. 600 sq ft total) Lots/Blocks Lot 7, Block 8, Lakeridge First Addition Water Provider City of Owasso Sewer Provider City of Owasso APPROVAL PROCESS: Per Appendix B, Article XV, Section 4 of the Owasso Zoning Code: "The Board of Adjustment shall hold the public hearing and, upon the concurring vote of three (3) members, may grant the Special Exception after finding that the Special Exception will be in harmony with the spirit and intent of the Code, and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. The Board, in granting a Special Exception, shall prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards and may require such evidence and guarantee or bonds as it may deem necessary to enforce compliance with the conditions attached." A building permit for the proposed structure must be issued within one (1) year of the date of approval, or the special exception shall be considered void unless the BOA has approved an extension. ANALYSIS: • The subject property is approximately 0.30 acres in size and is zoned RS-3. • The applicant proposes to construct an approximately 600-square-foot accessory dwelling unit (ADU). o The Owasso Zoning Code requires a Special Exception for any accessory structure in an RS-3 district exceeding 500 square feet. • Per the applicant -provided information, the structure will measure approximately twenty (20) feet by thirty (30) feet, with a height of fifteen (15) feet. o The proposed structure would be placed in the northern portion of the applicant's rear yard. • The Owasso Zoning Code requires structures equal to or less than fifteen (15) feet in height be setback at least five (5) feet from any property line. o The applicant has indicated that the structure will be placed five (5) feet from the northern property line. The structure appears to meet all other setback requirements off of the remaining three property lines. o As such, the proposed structure appears to be placed an adequate distance from the property lines so as to not cause detriment to surrounding property owners. • According to the Owasso Zoning Code, detached accessory structures in the RS-3 zoning district may not exceed twenty (20) percent of the rear yard area and may not be placed in the front setback. o The proposed structure will not violate the lot coverage regulation, as the parallelogram - shaped geometry of the lot creates a rather large rear yard. Additionally, no other accessory structures have been permitted at this property. o The proposed structure is also to be placed well outside of the lot's front setback. • Based on the survey provided by the applicant, the proposed structure will not encroach on any platted utility easements; this further ensures that no harm will come to the general public welfare, should the proposed accessory structure by constructed as depicted by the applicant. • The proposed structure appears to meet all other requirements outlined in Section 4.6.10 of the Owasso Zoning Code. o Parking requirements for the proposed ADU will be handled via the existing driveway. o Pending approval of this Special Exception by the Owasso Board of Adjustment, the applicant will need to submit a building permit and building plans for review, to ensure compliance with the applicable Building Codes. • Letters containing notification of this case were mailed to all property owners within three hundred (300) feet of the subject property, and notification was also posted in the newspaper in accordance with State Statute. o At of the time of the writing of this memo, staff has not received any comments/concerns on this item. • In conclusion, Staff has determined that the request would not be injurious to the surrounding neighborhood or negatively harm the intent or spirit of the Owasso Zoning Code.
