Micah Snyder said the proposed edits were intended to align planning commission procedures with recently adopted City Council Resolution No. 3736 and include possible updates to meeting time and agenda structure. Snyder told commissioners the materials had been emailed and asked commissioners to provide suggested edits before the final packet is published at least 14 days before the vote.

At the end of the meeting, a staff member (Greg) noted that Chairman John Kane’s term had expired and that Kane is term-limited; staff said the appointment process to fill the vacancy has begun and that a new chair will be elected after an appointment is made.

No formal action was taken on the rules at the meeting; staff will return with final revised rules for commission consideration and a formal vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Bartlesville - Planning Commission - May 20, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Planning staff previewed updates to the Planning Commission rules and procedures, aligning them with a recent city council resolution and proposing meeting-time and agenda-structure changes; staff also noted that Chairman John Kane is term‑limited and will be replaced.","taxTitle","Bartlesville, Washington County, Oklahoma","taxId",62215,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6641979,"Commission approves rezoning and preliminary plat for four duplex lots on South Seneca Avenue",1223,2247000,3470000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3424198-49f301bf275b1f08b6fc813e626cb785&start=2247&end=3470","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3424198-49f301bf275b1f08b6fc813e626cb785/thumbnail_2247000.jpg","/articles/6641979/Bartlesville/Washington-County/Oklahoma/Commission-approves-rezoning-and-preliminary-plat-for-four-duplex-lots-on-South-Seneca-Avenue","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6641979-f377d0d0161e056d49de3288f9af8a65/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201008&Signature=gxeTd0dOHKJUS4ooXR~A8YhhBkE07M57-u~eOEEn~KlrUe~DczaGKVEkQywScy7Io56cPzWP3A2pFP2gQ5pdASX7y04jZxHIrFL~rvPYhBCzW3klnqOSLckhYNYsTUAcfkfGjrS9hdiaY1DIoy1nJFvGujZBgK97WZBEfJYfLe1qWbVu1j89LjJa~YPNU3JHAq~x1X1gJlyUpua~1TYOU0QN6c5M9juRW2sR-zN0WzfLOARVf6Ebe-yn-4klfR-X96ivHxqEnLqFi~jOrsHd0OqYTuzZs-KtN0ufp0vFmvq8DEG5m8MEwEf-KK2uzxEnWwv0Ds2WVDf6S1qFU9k7IQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Bartlesville’s Planning Commission approved a rezoning to RM-3 with a new PUD and a preliminary plat to replat three existing lots at 521, 525 and 529 South Seneca Avenue into four lots for duplex development.

Senior planner Micah Snyder told commissioners the request covers about 0.48 acres (approximately 21,000 square feet) at the northwest corner of South Seneca Avenue and Adams Boulevard (U.S. 60). The application, submitted by Richard Smith of American Bison Construction Co. on behalf of Quantum Trading Group LLC, proposes four duplexes (eight dwelling units total), each duplex sited on its own lot. Snyder recommended approval, noting water and sewer are available and that some modifications to RM-3 bulk/area standards are requested to facilitate the lot configuration and a modest right-of-way dedication to accommodate Adams Boulevard/Pathfinder Parkway considerations.

Richard Smith, the applicant, described the project as a market-driven effort to bring new housing product to the neighborhood and said the units are intended to be built and sold. \"We're building to sell,\" Smith said, explaining that duplexes can provide affordable entry points for buyers and that subdividing into four lots increases opportunities for individual ownership versus selling the site as a single large parcel.

The preliminary plat and PUD request include a proposed 5-foot right-of-way dedication along Adams Boulevard (staff recommended half the ultimate minor-arterial dedication given existing ROW), notes limiting vehicular access to Seneca Avenue and Adams Boulevard, and a 10-foot right-of-way easement for future path or sidewalk improvements. Vehicular access to the duplexes will be from the rear alley; sidewalks will be constructed along Seneca Avenue and connections made to existing sidewalks.

The commission heard that no attendees came to the applicant’s citizen participation meeting and staff reported no written objections. A motion to approve the rezoning and PUD (case RZ04250010 / PUD0425004849) passed on a roll-call vote (ayes recorded for Commissioners Kirkpatrick, Hibdon, Freeman, Munkers, Kolaw and Dawson). The subsequent preliminary plat for the same properties (case PLAT04250025) was also approved with standard plat notes and staff-recommended conditions (no access to Seneca/Adams, right-of-way dedication and easement notes, utility easement language, and sidewalk/access easement maintenance responsibilities). The preliminary plat will require a final plat and council approval to record.","The commission rezoned three C-2/PUD lots at 521–529 S.

Micah Snyder, senior planner, explained the property’s split zoning history and the applicant’s goal of resolving that split to make the property more marketable. He described the site as Lots 30–38, Block 6 of the Highland Park Addition and said the parcel is roughly one block south of Tuxedo Street and two blocks west of Washington Boulevard (U.S. 75). Snyder said the applicant provided a PUD design statement and a conceptual office‑warehouse site plan and that staff recommended approval as presented.

Dan Kelleher, representing the property owner, told commissioners the rezoning is intended to help the owner sell the site because split zoning discourages buyers; he said the process timeline can deter prospective purchasers. \"It's just a long timeline,\" Kelleher said.

The proposed PUD includes a list of uses to be prohibited in order to protect nearby multifamily and single‑family residential areas; those prohibitions included several auto‑related uses typically allowed in C-5. One commissioner moved to amend the PUD to remove the prohibitions on auto/automotive uses; that amendment was seconded. Commissioners then debated whether the restrictions would simply preserve an exclusionary zone or whether they were needed to avoid further encroachment of outdoor vehicle storage and repair closer to multifamily residences. The proposed amendment failed on a roll-call vote (Cola: no; Munkers: no; Kirkpatrick: no; Hibdon: no; Freeman: no; Dawson: no).

After the amendment failed, a motion to approve the rezoning and PUD as recommended by staff was made and seconded. Roll-call votes were recorded in favor by Commissioners Kolaw, Munkers, Kirkpatrick, Hibdon, Freeman and Dawson; the rezoning and PUD were approved as presented (case RZ042511 / PUD0425005152).

The PUD as approved modifies some C-5 bulk and area regulations, adds screening requirements (including a six‑foot privacy fence on the north side), prohibits specified uses (listed in the PUD design statement), and allows RM-3 residential uses as allowed alternatives. The PUD also included limits on outdoor storage, requirements that outdoor storage be enclosed behind a six‑foot visual barrier and that materials not be stacked above that barrier. Staff reported that property owners within 300 feet were notified and that the applicant hosted a citizen participation meeting; staff had received no written support or opposition prior to the hearing.

The commission’s vote preserves the PUD’s list of prohibited auto‑related uses; commissioners discussed possible marketability impacts of the prohibitions and whether restrictions would lock in limits that could not be changed without a major PUD amendment in the future.","The Planning Commission rezoned 0.75 acres at 125–136 SE DeBell Avenue from RM-3 and C-2 to C-5 with a PUD; commissioners debated and voted down an amendment that would have removed PUD restrictions on auto/repair uses before approving the zoning as presented.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6641988,"Planning Commission approves City Church PUD for youth building and future chapel on Rice Creek Road",598,108000,706000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3424198-49f301bf275b1f08b6fc813e626cb785&start=108&end=706","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3424198-49f301bf275b1f08b6fc813e626cb785/thumbnail_108000.jpg","/articles/6641988/Bartlesville/Washington-County/Oklahoma/Planning-Commission-approves-City-Church-PUD-for-youth-building-and-future-chapel-on-Rice-Creek-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6641988-e4a8dac59507a7df122863301eccc141/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201008&Signature=YEZVB51bZZic43kVxbgabjGi2nJYESv~PkgQHbG4D3kpxjkrc3sAEUWUVX2PrSFPf1laJtdcBOTD17bEUb~dlTcjmCDEKMVAERNwxpF1RLAVhatnRg3gWDMJCqYt7P35uTSA4drWvVpyBlqAZDWjvhnV-052dyjUZd0oZmJahgayIQkatVkfhMlYAJsnfbokeWq~YKm7kB6ndmdARHmSB5tg6T3bbalk7Fbaee6FJT2JTogwfC4pzl2huqHs-2nNusNw6~bAEP0KJPdXhaOzFXF0KqXdMYoZJ4CQadAwni3agOhghqZK346spjpePZwseAzWqVBU7iIaETCTysTTEQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bartlesville Planning Commission voted to approve a plan unit development and site development plan for City Church at 4222 Rice Creek Road, allowing construction of an approximately 12,000-square-foot youth building and a future 6,000-square-foot chapel.

Senior planner Micah Snyder told commissioners the application covers the existing main church building and parking and reflects a site that includes four zoning districts due to a prior large PUD. \"This would facilitate the construction of an approximately 12,000 square foot youth building and a future 6,000 square foot chapel,\" Snyder said, and he explained the proposal meets the applicable RM-1.5 and RS-10 development regulations and required setbacks. Snyder also said the site has water service and that new water mains serving private fire hydrants on private property would have to be placed in easements.

The staff report noted the site is accessed from Rice Creek Road and a gravel drive from Woodward Avenue; under an amended development agreement the church must extend Woodward Avenue to its west property line with construction of any new buildings, and some future streets would be constructed prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any second building. Snyder told the commission the proposed and existing parking would be considered sufficient (the report lists 215 existing spaces, 68 proposed spaces for the youth building and 20 for the future chapel) and that landscaping, lighting and signage would be reviewed at building permit stage.

An applicant representative spoke during the hearing, saying the project had taken longer than expected because of a tied transaction with another developer but that the church intends an open campus with after‑school programs and community use. \"We think it'll serve the community well, the youth of the community well,\" the speaker said.

No members of the public signed up to speak on the item and staff reported no written comments in support or opposition. Commissioner Kirkpatrick moved to approve the PUD/site development plan; Commissioner Munkers seconded. A roll-call vote yielded ayes from Commissioners Freeman, Kolaw, Kirkpatrick, Hibdon, Munkers and Dawson; the motion passed.

The approved application is the PUD/site development plan for case PUD04250053. Conditions of approval are those in the staff report; staff told the commission the site plan received a last-minute update to reflect engineering comments on street and driveway alignment but otherwise matched the published materials.","Bartlesville Planning Commission approved a PUD/site development plan allowing a roughly 12,000 sq ft youth building and a future 6,000 sq ft chapel at 4222 Rice Creek Road; staff found parking and setbacks met zoning standards and no public opposition was recorded.","actionData","errors"]
