Commission approves rezoning of West Tulsa property from RS-3 to AGR
Summary
The Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission approved a rezoning request (Case C7829) to change a more-than-2-acre lot in West Tulsa from RS-3 to AGR to align with surrounding uses; staff said the lot could be split into two 1-acre parcels and single-family housing would remain permitted.
The Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission on Sept. 17 approved a rezoning request (Case C7829) to change a more-than-2-acre property in West Tulsa from RS-3 (single-family residential) to AGR (agricultural).
Nathan, a city planning staff member, told the commission that the property is at the northwest corner of West 70 Eighth Street South and South 20 Sixth West Avenue and lies within an area where AGR is common. "The lot is over 2 acres in size, so it meets and exceeds all of the requirements of the AGR district," Nathan said, and staff recommended approval.
The change reflects a voluntary rezoning opportunity city council offered in 2020 for properties in the district; Nathan said the current owner was not the owner at that time and therefore missed that earlier opportunity. Nathan also said the lot’s size and frontage mean it could be subdivided into two 1-acre tracts, because the minimum AGR lot size is 1 acre, and that single-family housing would remain a permitted use.
Commissioner Humphrey moved to approve the request "as presented by staff," and Commissioner Shiller seconded. The commission approved the motion by voice vote; the record indicates the chair asked, "All those in favor? Opposed," and the item was approved.
No members of the public spoke on the rezoning request during the hearing, and the applicant indicated they were "in review" when asked whether they agreed with the staff recommendation.
The rezoning aligns the parcel’s zoning with the surrounding small-area plan and prevailing AGR zoning in that part of West Tulsa; staff said the lot’s size and the small-area plan supported the change. The commission did not record a roll-call vote in the public transcript.
The commission moved on to the next agenda item after approving the rezoning.
