Staff recommends that the City Council approve a budget supplement in the Capital Projects Grant
Fund increasing grant revenues and street improvement expenditures by $42,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Grants for capital improvements are accounted for in the Capital Projects Grant Fund (Fund 46). A
budget supplement would include an increase in revenue from grants (46-.000-43301) of $42,000 and
an increase in expenditures for street improvements (46-300-54210) of $42,000.
On December 3, the City Council accepted a grant from the Cherokee Nation in the amount of
$42,000 to be used for the E 86th Street North and North 14jth E. Ave, intersection project. A budget
supplement is needed in order to utilize those funds.

FROM:
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF OW ASSO
TO:
E
MEMORANDUM
The proposed change is two-fold. The first change, which would occur on all future zoned or
rezoned commercial property, would permit mini-storage units in CS, CG, and CH districts by
Special Exception only. The second change would allow a two-year window on all property that is
currently zoned commercial for the current regulations to apply. In short, the Special Exception
requirement would not go into effect on all property that is currently zoned CG or CH until two
years from the date of publication of the ordinance.
The staff believes a change in the zoning code that would require the Board of Adjustment to
approve mini-storage units by Special Exception in all commercial districts is appropriate. It would
allow the City to review each proposal on a case-by-case basis, consider the development trends of
the area, the future development potential of the subject and surrounding property, and allow for
public input on a process that is currently restricted in two of the three commercial zoning code
classifications.
PROPOSED CHANGE TO THE REGULATIONS:
The City of Owasso currently permits mini-storage units in CG (Commercial General) and CH
(Commercial High Intensity) districts outright, while it requires approval from the Board of
Adjustment by means of a Special Exception in a CS (Commercial Shopping Center) district. It
appears that at the time of establishing the zoning code, mini-storage units were not as widely
popular as they are today for the consumer, nor was there any thought given to the amount of
growth that the City of Owasso would experience.
BACKGROUND:
December 11, 2002
DATE:
AMENDMENT REQUIRE
COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS TO OBTAIN
FROM THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
THE HONORABLE
MEMORANDUM
The staff recommends Council approval of a text amendment to the Owasso Zoning Code, Section
610 to permit mini-storage units in CS, CG, and CH Districts by Special Exception only. If
approved, the staff would present an ordinance reflecting such change to the City Council on the
consent agenda of the next council meeting.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission considered the proposed amendment in a slightly different form in June,
and unanimously recommended City Council approval of the change in the zoning text.
PLANNING COMMISSION:
The integrity of established commercial neighborhoods could also be impacted by the development
of mini-storage units. Further, the ambiance and desirability of residential neighborhoods could be
impacted by an adjacent mini-storage use. In some cases, they could provide a suitable buffer
between residential and commercial propelties. In other cases, mini-storage units could supply a
service to an area that has a demand for storage space. Under the proposed change, the Board of
Adjustment would have the ability to make sure that the demand for mini-storage uses could be
accommodated when appropriate while protecting the business districts (and adjacent residential
areas) that might house the mini-storage'uses.
Typically, there is minimal supervision of the types of equipment and materials stored in mini-
storage units. Furniture, lawn maintenance equipment, chemicals, and all manners of other
household items are placed in the facilities. The storage of such a wide array of things would be an
appropriate use of industrial land, but might be inappropriate or even hazardous in some
commercial areas.
The possibility of potentially valuable sales tax generating property being occupied by mini-storage
units is not desirable. Many major intersections in are zoned or These districts
are designed to accommodate a wide variety of commercial uses such as retail, lodging, dining, and
others. Uses such as these constitute a major economic impact in the community. The staff finds
that the location of mini-storage units in commercial areas should be considered on a case by case
basis so that the potential affect on the city's sales tax base might be taken into account.
The staff finds various reasons to consider the Board of Adjustment review for all mini-storage
developments in commercial districts.
REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGE:
MINI -STORAGE TEXT AMENDMENT
DECEMBER II, 2002
PAGE 2
Staff understands the impact that an ordinance such as this may have on the City, however staff
has made every effOlt to incorporate the changes requested by each and every individual who has
provided comments. Staff has visited with several area community leaders, businesses and
citizens concerning the proposed amendment. And, although staff and area leaders or residents
Although there are a number of varying businesses within the City of Owasso, staff has made a
good-faith effort to accommodate the different needs of those businesses. However, staff also
understands that in a City such as Owasso, with its rapid growth, certain restrictions are
necessary to ensure that the growth that does occur is controlled by the City and not vice versa.
ACCOMODATIONS FOR THE CONCERNS OF THE COMMUNITY:
Staff has fielded several complaints from citizens concerning the existing code and has noted a
high level of inconsistency with the code's fOlmat. Given the difficulties in the interpretation of
the rules by staff and area businesses, staff felt that an update was in order. Difficulty in
interpreting the code by staff leads to an inconsistent level of enforcement, thereby leaving local
businesses with the impression that a particular sign may be allowed when in fact, it may not.
DIFFICULTIES WITH FORMAT OF EXISTING CODE:
The Community Development Department is proposing to replace the existing sign ordinance
with an updated code in an effort to protect the local business environment. The sign code not
only controls the location, size and type of signs allowed within the City, but also how those
signs relate aesthetically to the City as a whole. Staff feels that by clarifying the code with a new
format, a level playing field will be created which will help local businesses flourish. A copy of
the existing and proposed sign code are included with your packet.
BACKGROUND:
December 10, 2002
DATE:
THE HONORABLE
MEMORANDUM
If the request is approved, an ordinance will be presented at the January 7, 2002 City Council
meeting formally adopting the approval.
Staff advertised the amendment in the November 14, 2002 edition ofthe Owasso Reporter. Staff
has received no phone calls or correspondence concerning the amendment after legal publication.
The City of Owasso Planning Commission heard the staff initiated request at the December 9,
2002 regular meeting. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the
request subject to the condition that staff incorporates the changes requested by the City
Attorney, Stephen Gray. The requested changes are akin to scrivener's errors and are considered
minor in nature. A copy of this letter is attached for your review.
PLANNING COMMISSION:
As mentioned above, City Council also requested that non-commercial flags be permitted
without the normal permitting fees. Non-commercial flags are governed by Section 17.5 -
SIGNS NOT REQUIRING PERMITS and will not require either a permit or a fee.
1. Said banners must be permitted by the City Planner and must contain a site plan indicating
the location of said banner.
Said banners must accompany a permanent ground, pole or wall sign.
3, The requested time period for the banner must be listed on the application and may be
modified by the City Planner.
4. Said banners shall be limited to one (1) banner per location.
5. Said banners must be attached to the primary building and not free standing, when
applicable.
Patticular to City Council's request, language prohibiting commercial banners has been removed
entirely from the proposed code, Commercial banners, under the proposal, would be allowed
subject to the following conditions:
November 2002 the City Council reviewed the proposed sign ordinance at their
regularly scheduled work session. City Council instructed staff to consider accommodating
commercial banners and waiving the permitting requirements for non-corporate flags.
In addition to providing a more "user-friendly" format, several sections of the existing code have

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC 0]1" A HEARING ON A
PROPOSED AlVIENDMENT TO THE ZOl\llNG ORDINANCE
OF THE CITY OF OW ASSO, OKLAHOMA
The Technical Advisory Committee reviewed the application at the November 27, 2002 Regular
Meeting. Staff or utility providers provided no comments.
TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE:
Staff believes that OL is an appropriate zoning classification for the subject site. The applicant is
requesting the lowest intensity of zoning classification that still meets the needs of the purchaser.
An OL zoning category would limit the types of uses on the property to light office and studio
facilities rather than large apmtment complexes or duplexes as allowed under the property's current
zoning classification, RM-1.

TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The rezoning was reviewed at the November 27, 2002 regular meeting of the City of Owasso
Technical Advisory Committee. Staff or utility providers provided no comments.
Ifthis Commission approves this application, this item will be forwarded to City Council.
However, this case will largely depend upon public input. Staff has received several phone
calls regarding the application that were of a questioning nature and not in opposition of the
request. Statf does not anticipate public opposition to the request for OL zoning, and feels
that surrounding property owners will likely be in favor of removing the RM-I zoning
classification. Letters were mailed to surrounding property owners on November 7,2002 and
the legal advertisement was published on November 14,2002. The subject property was
posted on November 7,2002. Copies of both the letters to property owners and the legal
advertisements are attached for your information and review.
is supportive of the application for several reasons. First, the applicant is requesting
lowest intensity of zoning classification that meets the needs of the purchaser. Staff is
supportive of the OL classification due to its limitation on higher intensity uses. Second,
staff feels that the impact on the surrounding property owners would be reduced with an
zoning classification. The current zoning of the property is RM -1, which would allow,
among other uses, large-scale apartment complexes and duplexes. Staff feels that the OL
zoning classification would prove to be more appropriate than RM-l based on the amount
traffic, both pedestrian and vehicular, the potential for audible pollution and the impact
on the City's infrastructure.
previously stated, the applicant is requesting this rezoning in order to accommodate
uses for the Cherokee Housing Authority. Staff, along with the Fire Marshal and
Building Inspectors, have completed a preliminary "walk-through" with the property owner
potential purchasers. walk-through was an effort to information
to occupancy of the building.
Authority's business, could reasonably be considered public/institutional in nature, thereby
being consistent with the Owasso 2010 Master Plan.

The Technical Advisory Committee reviewed the application at the November 27, 2002 Regular
Meeting. Staff or utility providers provided no comments.
TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE:
Staff believes that CS is an appropriate zoning classification for the subject site. The City of
Owasso 2010 Master Plan classifies the propeliy as having a future land use of high intensity
commercial. By approving the request for a CS zoning classification, staff feels that the
implementation process of the Master Plan will be further expedited by assisting the parcel to the
south in transitioning to a commercial use. Additionally, staff finds that the transportation and
utility infrastructure serving the site are adequate for CS zoning.
ANALYSIS:
The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject property from RE (Residential Single Family
Estate District) to CS (Commercial Shopping District) to allow for convenience shopping uses,
primarily restaurants.
The City of Owasso has received a request for the rezoning of approximately 5.00 acres +/-. The
subject property is located approximately 2400 feet north of the E. 96th St. N. and N. 129th East

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Owasso 2010 Master Plan identifies the subject property as having a future land use of

that the applicant is proposing a commercial zoning classification and use that are
considered low intensity commercial and non-residential in nature.
ZONING REQUIREMENTS

RECOMMENDA TION
Staff recommends approval of OZ-02-09, rezoning approximately 5.00 acres +/-, from RE
(Residential Estate District) to CS (Commercial Shopping District).
If this Commission approves the application, this item does require City Council approval.
TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMJTTEE
The rezoning was reviewed at the November 27, 2002 regular meeting of the City of
Owasso Technical Advisory Committee. Staff or utility providers provided no comments.
Staff has received no phone calls or letters regarding this zoning request. Staff does not
anticipate public opposition to the request for CS zoning, and feels that surrounding
property owners will likely be in favor of having restaurants nearby thereby adding certain
neighborhood services not currently in place. Letters were mailed to surrounding property
owners on November 7,2002 and the legal advertisement was published on November 14,
2002. The subject property was posted on November 14,2002. Copies of both the letters
to property owners and the legal advertisements are attached for your information and
reView.
Staff finds that little, if any significant impact would occur on the surrounding property
owners if this application were approved. The conclusion comes primarily from staff's
commitment to reducing the impact on residential areas from commercial developments by
requiring detention, screening and / or fencing and landscaping at the time of constmction.
Staff did have initial concerns regarding the fact that the applicant is requesting a "leap-
frog" zoning classification. Typically, staff would less supportive of an application that,
much like this application, requests a zarling classification order along the same street
frontage from south to north (Commercial Shopping District) (Office Low
Intensity District)-. (Commercial Shopping District). However, staff believes that in
this particular case, leap-fragging the zoning classification would help expedite the
implementation process of the Master Plan by assisting the parcel to the south in
transitioning to a commercial use. Additionally, staff finds that the transportation and
utility infrastructure serving the subject tract are adequate for CS zoning.
ANAL YSIS
As previously stated, the applicant is requesting this rezoning in order to accommodate
commercial shopping uses, primarily restaurants. Staff feels that restaurants are an
appropriate use given commercial development to the south and the similar, associated uses
in nearby development and in the Owasso Market.
The City Council's review of the recommendation of the Planning
Commission on the proposed rezoning shall be at a meeting time
In the event that such proposed rezoning is approved, in whole or
in part, by the Owasso Planning Commission, said Planning
Commission shall submit its recommendation to the City Council

All persons interested in this matter may be present at the hearing
and present their objections to or arguments for any or all of the
above matters.

Shopping District).

1. The City of Owasso City Council must approve the application.
The Owasso Technical Advisory Committee reviewed the application at their November 27,2002
regular meeting. At that meeting the following comments were received.
TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE:
The stmcture actually encroaches the easement by l' foot, not the 2' feet requested in the easement
closure application. Staff is supportive of the application simply because the request if approved,
would still meet the PUD/RS-3 setback requirements. If the application were approved as
originally submitted, the applicant would be required to receive additional approval from the City
of Owasso Board of Adjustment.
Staff was informed that the applicant is requesting the closure based on the incouect placement of a
single family structure within the easement. The encroachment was made primarily out of
confusion between the easement location and the RS-3 (Residential Single Family High Density
District) setback requirements.
ANALYSIS:
The City of Owasso has received a request for the closing of the nOlihem 2' feet of the southern 11'
foot utility easement for Lot 43, Block 6, Sawgrass Park at Bailey Ranch. The subject property is

If approved by the Planning Commission, this item does require City Council Action.
finds if no reason to not approve the applicant's request, contingent upon a l'

The structure actually encroaches the easement by l' foot, not the 2' feet requested in the
easement closure application. Staff does not oppose closing the northern l' foot of the
easement primarily because the application, if approved, would still meet the PUD/RS-3
zoning district setback requirements. If the application were approved as originally
submitted, (taken into consideration a 2' foot closure), the applicant would also be required
to receive approval from the City of Owasso Board of Adjustment.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends conditional approval of the request to close the stormwater detention
easement located within Lot 1, Block 2, Ram Plaza Addition, subject to the following
conditions:
1. The City of Owasso City Council approves the easement closure.
2. The applicant shall provide an official copy of the easement closure to the Community
Development Department.
TECHNICAL ADVISORY COl\tIMITTEE:
The Owasso Technical Advisory Committee reviewed the site plan at their November
2002 regular meeting. At that meeting, the following comments were noted.
1. The City of Owasso City Council must approve the easement closure.
2. The applicant shall provide an official copy of. the easement- closure to the Community
Development Department.
If approved by the Planning Commission, this item does require City Council Action.
Staff finds little, if no reason to not the applicant's request. Without Planning
Commission and ultimately, City Council approval, at such time a remodel were proposed,
the applicant would be required to remove portions of the existing structure. Staff is
unaware of any instance within the City where this has occurred.
The site plan, including the encroachment, for the subject property was approved on May
7, 1996 by the City of Owasso Planning Commission. The Community Development
Department staff report dated May 7, 1996, is attached for your review. According to staff
in 1996, stormwater detention issues for Lot 1, Block 2 were incorporated into the
approved plans for the Warehouse Foods (now Dickinson Theatre) and Owasso Ninth
Grade Center (now Mid-High School). According to staff at the time, stormwater
detention facilities on the Dickinson Theatre and Mid-High School properties were more
than sufficient to accommodate stormwater run-off from Lot 1, Block Ram Plaza.
nothing in the Community that would indicate the contrary.

A TTACIIMENTS/ENCLOSJJRES:
Staff would recommend approval of the proposed site plan as presented with the condition of a
pre-construction meeting with staff prior to obtaining of the building permit.
RECOMMENDATION:
The site plan was reviewed by the TAC Committee at their May 1, 1996 meeting. No
comments or concerns were voiced by the utility companies and/or staff. Staff would
recommend the inclusion of a pre-construction meeting with city personnel prior to obtaining'the
building permit.
Storm water detention for this site has been addressed through the development of the
Warehouse Foods (Food Lion) property which was required to develop with an oversized
detention basin in its northwest corner, - This area, along with the large area detention area
developed by the Ninth Grade Center, is more than adequate to meet any stormwater detention
requirements .
Review of the site plan by staff indicated that all necessary parking requirements have been met
by the applicant as 33 parking spaces would be required by the applicant (1 space per 300 square
feet of floor area) and 37 have been provided. A landscaped area has also been indicated on the
site plan,
Michael D Roark has submitted a site plan for a retail hardware store to be located on a portion
of Lot 1, Block 2 of Ram Plaza Addition. The subject property is located immediately east of
the Warehouse Foods property and the portion of the lot to be utilized was created via a recent
lot split heard before the Planning Commission. A location map is enclosed for your
information and review.

ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT HEREWITH.
CITY OF OW ASSO
ORDINANCE NO. 732
The issue is simple; the current language in Section 17-206 prohibits the hauling or transport of
any trash or refuse on any city street unless that hauler has a permit from the City of Owasso to
collect commercial waste. Certainly the intent ofthe language was not to prohibit someone from
collecting waste in Collinsville and transporting it through Owasso, but rather to require a permit
for the collection and transport of waste "collected" in Owasso. Thus, the literal interpretation
and enforcement of the existing language exceeds the practical powers granted to the City.
THE ISSUE:
Recently, however, Mr. Gray was notified by the plaintiffs attorney that the lawsuit would be
dismissed only when a second action of repealing Section 17-206 was accomplished.
At the time of that request, both the City Attorney and City Manager had been under the
impression that the repeal of the permit fee was the only "immediate" action necessary for the
plaintiff to dismiss the lawsuit (see paragraph entitled PROPOSAL on page 2 of the November
14th memorandum). However, there h~d been a request to modify Section 17-206 of the "Code
of Ordinances" in the "near future" because of language that went beyond the intent of the
Oliginal ordinance.
On November 19,2002, the City Council adopted Ordinance #727, wherein the City's permit fee
for the collection of commercial refuse was repealed. The action was taken based on the
recommendation of the staff and City Attorney as a method of resolving a lawsuit against the
City filed by American Waste Control Inc. (See attached memorandum dated November 14th for
complete information and background.)
BACKGROUND:
December 12,2002
DATE:
&
,;
MEMORANDUM
1. Proposed Ordinance #728
2. Memorandum Dated November 14, 2002
3. Ordinance #638
ATTACHMENTS:
The staff recommends City Council adoption of Ordinance #728, such ordinance repealing the
existing language contained in Part 17, Chapter 2, Article B, Section 17-206 of the Code of
Ordinances, and adding a new Section 17-206 as shown in the attached ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Oklahoma Statutes, 11 Article XIV, Section 14-103, allow for the attachment of an
"emergency clause: to ordinances when, in the opinion ofthe City Council, in order to protect the
interest of the citizens, an ordinance should become effective immediately upon passage. In the
case of this ordinance, the staff believes that the attachment of an emergency clause is critical to
the settlement of the pending legal action. Therefore, declaring an emergency could clearly be
shown to be in the best interest of the citizens of the city.
EMERGENCY CLAUSE:
This request is for City Council Action to adopt Ordinance #728. Should the Council adopt
the proposed ordinance, new language would reflect the intent of the original and
would respond to the the plaintiff, thus resulting the dismissal

ORDINANCE NUMBER 728
CITY OF OW ASSO, OKLAHOMA
However, the actual impact of the fee pelmit was to significantly increase revenues to the City.
That increase eventually served to call attention to the fee by local businesses and one of the
permit holders, American Waste Control. Then, on August 31, 2001, American Waste Control
filed a lawsuit in District Court against the City of Owasso, claiming that Ordinance #638 is
illegal and void due to law that prohibits the imposition of a "licenses tax" on waste collection,
as well as claiming that the ordinance exceeds the "police powers" granted the City by the State.
Additionally, the lawsuit claimed that Section 17-206 of Ordinance #638 is in violation of
Oklahoma Statutes (47 O.S. section 1148) in that the ordinance exceeds the City's authority to
prohibit the use of city streets (inadvertently, the ordinance prohibited the transport of any trash
on any city street unless the transporter had a city permit, thereby making it illegal for a hauler to
pick up trash in another city or from a non-city resident and then transport that refuse through the
city to a disposal site, very clearly exceeding the authority of the City). It should be noted that
American Waste Control, as of August 3l, 2001, has not co Hected from their customers nor paid
Generally, Ordinance #638 established a fee of $3.50 per yard of collected commercial waste to
be paid to the City on a monthly basis. That fee was adopted based on calculations performed by
the Public Works Department. Those calculations were accomplished utilizing data from the
City's contract during the previous year and supplemental information supplied by other
"haulers" on a voluntary basis. It appears that one goal of the new ordinance was to ensure that
the fees generated by the "pelmit fee" were equal to the revenue collected from the "contract"
system then in use.
April 2000, the City Council adopted Ordinance #638 (attached), such ordinance for the
purpose of establishing a commercial waste collection pelmit and applicable fees for that pelmit.
The ordinance was adopted in an effort to remedy a concern that the City Attorney had relating to
the legality of the "exclusive" contract method the City had previously utilized to collect
commercial waste within the boundaries of the city.
BACKGROUND:
November 14,2002
THE HONORABLE MAYOR
OF
MEMORANDUM
The Oklahoma Statutes, 11 a.s. Article XIV, Section 14-103, allow for the attaclunent of an
"emergency clause" to ordinances when, in the opinion of the City Council in order to protect the
interest of the citizens, an ordinance should become effective immediately upon passage. In the
case of this ordinance, the staff believes that the attachment of an emergency clause is critical to
the settlement of the pending legal action.
EMERGENCY CLAUSE:
Based on Mr. Gray's review, discussions with the Plaintiffs attorney, direction from the Judge
and staff comments, it is proposed that the City Council repeal the fee required by
Ordinance #638 and contained in Section 17-203(B) of that ordinance. Although that action
is of immediate concern, it should be noted that, in the near future, additional action will also be
needed to amend Section 17-206, and to include a new fee structure that will be in compliance
with state law.
PROPOSAL:
After employing Mr. Gray as City Attorney, he reviewed this case in the context of preparing an
answer to the Plaintiffs Motion for Summary Judgment." Mr. Gray's review lead to the
conclusion that the City has, in fact, enacted an ordinance that lacks a defendable position,
Based on discussions with the City Attorney and a requirement for an immediate response to the
Plaintiffs Motion for Summary Judgment, I authorized Mr. Gray to meet with attorneys for
American Waste Control to determine our available options. Mr. Gray also appeared before
Judge Wiseman to request time for a possible negotiated settlement ofthe matter.
LEGAL REVIEW:
Subsequently, there legal maneuvers by both and Waste
Additionally, other "haulers" concern that they were placed at a disadvantage by
continuing to collect the had collecting

I recommend Council confinnation of the above appointments.
RECOMMENDATION:
INCOG LEGISLATIVE CONSORTIUM (Term Ending 6/30/03)
Mr Rodney Ray, City Manager
Mr Rodney Ray, City Manager
Alternate
INCOG BOARD OF DIRECTORS (Term Ending 4/30/03)
Mr Michael Helm, Mayor
It is, therefore, the purpose of this memorandum to recommend for Council confirmation the
following appointments to the positions indicated:
Pursuant to authority contained in Article 2, Section 2-4, subsection ( e) of the Charter of the City
of Owasso, the City Council has established ordinances that provide, generally, for the Mayor to
appoint members to various boards, commissions, trusts, and committees; such appointments
subject to confirmation by the City Council. Additionally, the Council has established the same
procedure, by precedent, for those appointments not specifically addressed by ordinance.
Traditionally, the City has been represented on the INCOG Board of Directors by the Mayor
(with the City Manager as the alternate). In the same manner, the City, until recently, has been
represented on the Legislative Consortium by the City Manager, and Mr. Ray has indicated that
he is eager to accept that role once again.
Former Mayor Brogdon's resignation from the City Council has left two positions on key boards
and committees vacant. As Owasso' s representative, Mayor Brogdon served on the INCOG
Board of Directors and on the Legislative Consortium. There is a need to fill those vacancies,
and I have requested an agenda item for that purpose.
