Owasso staff previews zoning code updates; reports 15 new single-family permits in December
Summary
City staff told the Planning Commission it will bring a package of zoning code updates over the coming months and reported 15 new single-family building permits in December and 259 lots remaining; TAC items reported included a lot-line adjustment and a Goodwill lot split that are largely complete.
City planning staff told the Owasso Planning Commission on Jan. 13 that a package of zoning-code updates is expected over the next few meetings, intended to clarify standards and reduce the number of variances that go to the Board of Adjustment.
Staff said many of the updates are small adjustments to clarify accessory-structure standards and enlarge the square footage threshold that triggers a variance review, among other technical edits. The items will be brought to the commission for review across multiple meetings before any final recommendation.
In the monthly building report, staff reported 15 new single-family residential permits issued in December and said the city currently has 259 lots available for single-family development. Staff also noted one new commercial permit related to the Robinson Industrial Park final plat approved that evening.
Separately, staff reported on items from the Dec. 18 Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting, saying a lot-line adjustment for Express Oil and a lot split in Garrett Creek for a new Goodwill location are complete. No further public discussion was recorded on those items. A planning commissioner also reminded colleagues of a city election on Feb. 11 and encouraged commissioners to review applicants and vote.
Commissioners did not take formal action on the zoning-code update package during the meeting; staff will return with draft text for review.
