FROM: Wendy Kramer, City Planner
SUBJECT: OBOA 25-08 - Special Exception - 8732 North 1215t East Avenue
DATE: October 24, 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 8732 North 1215t

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 0.25 acres in size and is zoned RS-3.
• The applicant has requested the Special Exception in order to build a seven -hundred -and -
fifty (750) square foot detached garage on the subject property.
o The Owasso Zoning Code states that any accessory structure in an RS-3 district in excess
of five hundred (500) square feet shall require approval from the Board of Adjustment in
the form of a Special Exception.
• Per the applicant -provided information, the structure will measure approximately twenty-
five (25) feet by thirty (30) feet, with a height of twenty (20) feet.
o The proposed structure would be placed in the northeastern portion of the applicant's
rear yard.
• The Owasso Zoning Code requires accessory structures greater than fifteen (15) feet in
height at the roof peak to be setback at least ten (10) feet from any property line.
o The applicant has indicated that the structure will be placed ten -and -a -half (10.5) feet
from the northern property line and twenty (20) feet from the eastern property line. The
structure appears to meet all other setback requirements off the remaining two
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 the 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 does not appear to violate the lot coverage regulation, as it
visually appears to be under the twenty (20) percent coverage of the rear yard.
o Additionally, the applicant has indicated that they currently have a storage shed in their
rear yard, measuring ten (10) feet by ten (10) feet. This shed will be removed if this
Special Exception request is granted, which will further help this requirement to be met.
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 garage 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.
• 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.
