SUBJECT: Proposed Zoning Code Amendments - Draft 2
DATE: May 7, 2026
BACKGROUND:
• The Owasso Zoning Code is one of the main mechanisms regulating land use and
development within city limits.
• The Zoning Code requires periodic amendments to address changing standards,
technology, and overall community needs. The last amendment to the Zoning Code
occurred in 2014 under Ordinance 1152, which added regulations to Chapter 10
("Overlay Districts") regarding separations between certain uses.
o The last comprehensive Code update, affecting multiple chapters, occurred in
2018 under Ordinance 1 131.
• The GrOwasso 2035 Land Use Master Plan, adopted in 2022 under Resolution 2022-12,
called for a review of the city's regulatory documents, including the Owasso Zoning
Code.
o Specifically, the "Land Use" Plan Element contains two sub -goals related to
Zoning Code review.
• One sub -goal involved an audit to identify ways to streamline processes
for "missing -middle" housing development.
• The other sub -goal outlined a broader audit to bring the Code closer to
recognized best planning practices.
PROCESS:
• Community Development staff began a full review of all portions of the current Zoning
Code in mid-2024, incorporating a concurrent review of planning literature and peer
community codes within Oklahoma.
o The audit and subsequent drafting were completed entirely in-house,
representing hundreds of staff hours.
o A consolidated list of potential updates was created based on staff's findings
from the audit. Most amendments addressed goals from the GrOwasso 2035 Land
Use Master Plan, including removing barriers to housing or codifying internal
policies or best practices.
o An abbreviated version of the proposed updates was presented to the Owasso
Planning Commission at the December 8, 2025, regular meeting, after which staff
received extensive feedback from one Commission member.
• Staff then drafted proposed amendments to all 21 chapters of the Zoning Code and the
appendices. Drafting concluded in early 2026, and staff review is ongoing.

Proposed Zoning Code Amendments
NEW PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING CODE:
• The Owasso City Council viewed a draft of the proposed amendments to the Owasso
Zoning Code at their regular meeting on April 14, 2026. These original proposed
amendments are summarized in the section below entitled "Previously Discussed
Proposed Amendments to the Code".
• Since Council's initial review, staff added the following additional proposed changes to
the Code. These changes are highlighted within the attached draft pages of the Code.
o The "legacy" terminology for the Residential Mobile Home Park (RMH) and
Industrial Heavy (IH) zoning designations was reflected in their description in Ch. 4
and Ch. 10, respectively.
o The restriction on tent sales/small special events in private parking lots, that
permitted only two such events per calendar year, was removed from Ch. 16.
o Clarified how small decorative elements, not expressly a part of a sign's face, are
handled in Ch. 18.
o Clarified when Temporary Use Permits (TUPs) are needed for storage structures.
o Additional general grammatical corrections occurred throughout the document,
and are not reflected in the attached draft pages.
Previously Discussed Proposed Amendments to the Code:
• Overall Use Case Updates:
o Codify the existing cumulative approach to allowed uses, whereby uses
permitted in less intense districts are allowed by -right in more intense districts (e.g.,
Office (0) uses allowed in Commercial Shopping (CS).
o Designate Residential Mobile Home Park (RMH), Commercial General (CG),
Commercial Heavy (CH), and Industrial Heavy (IH) districts as legacy districts with
no new rezonings after adoption of the updated Code.
• Housing/Residential Development:
o Align definitions of what constitutes "single-family" housing with those seen in the
International Residential Building Code (IRC).
o Remove the Planned Unit Development (PUD) requirement for all multi -family
developments, unless exceeding maximum density allowances in that given
zoning district or being true mixed -use.
o Reduce minimum lot widths and sizes for single-family zoning districts to increase
flexibility in neighborhood design.
o Increase maximum residential accessory structure footprint from 500 to 1,000
square feet.
• Design Standards:
o Remove minimum lot width requirements in all commercial zoning districts.
o Add language regulating site design, landscaping, screening, and fagade
materials in the Public Facilities (PF) zoning district.
o Clarify site plan review process and requirements.
o Revise design standards for multi -family developments in light of potential
changes to PUD requirements.
Page 3
Proposed Zoning Code Amendments
o Codify temporary use allowances for all zoning districts, and revise Temporary Use
Permit (TUP) requirements to align with new State food truck laws.
• Telecoms and Alternative Enerav:
o Add general use and design regulations for solar panels, battery energy storage
systems (BESS), and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.
• Parking:
o Require bike racks for all new developments, except single-family uses.
o Add regulations for on -street public parking stalls to mirror current off-street
parking regulations.
o Allow EV charging station spots to count towards minimum parking requirements.
o Incentivize shared -parking or low -impact design principles to reduce minimum
requirements.
• Sianaae:
o Add temporary signage regulations, including allowances, design standards, and
permitting processes.
o Revise relevant sections to align with current signage case law.
• Clarifying Updates:
o Improve grammar, clarity, and consistency for easier public understanding.
o Revise or remove vague, conflicting, or outdated provisions.
o Update and renumber visual aids, drawings, and tables.
o Revise Definitions sections as needed.
o Consolidate non -conformity language into one chapter and all screening
requirements into another.
PUBLIC INPUT:
• A red -lined draft of the Zoning Code was posted to the City's website in mid -March with
a survey for public feedback. This feedback survey will remain open until early June.
Feedback will be presented to the Planning Commission and City Council. No such
feedback has been received at the time of writing this memo.
• Two public input meetings were held at City Hall:
o March 23, 2026: 1 attendee (a Planning Commissioner)
o April 2, 2026: 1 attendee (a Planning Commissioner)
o Feedback was generally supportive of the proposed changes; both
Commissioners asked procedural questions about the document, and offered
insight into why they felt certain changes were needed.
• One public hearing was held during the April 13, 2026, Regular Planning Commission
meeting. No citizen comments were received regarding the proposed amendments to
the Code.
