Commission approves AGR zoning so resident can keep animals and gardens
Summary
The commission approved rezoning to AGR (agricultural residential) for a property at East 506th Street North to permit small‑scale agriculture in conjunction with a residence; staff recommended AGR rather than full AG to avoid future nonconforming issues.
The Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission voted to approve case Z7831 to change a 3.25‑acre property east of the southeast corner of East 506th Street North and North Lewis Avenue from RS‑3 to AGR (agricultural residential).
Staff said the AGR district allows agricultural uses in conjunction with a residence on the property and avoids width and conformity issues that a straight AG designation would create. Planner Nathan told the commission AGR aligns with the neighborhood land‑use designation and would not be injurious to nearby industrial parcels across the street.
Applicant Talise Ziegler (recorded as Talise Siglert in the transcript) told the commission she keeps animals, grows vegetables and lives on the property; she asked whether AGR would meet her needs. Staff confirmed AGR requires a residence be present and better matches the applicant’s intention to farm while living on the lot.
There were no public speakers. Commissioner Humphreys moved to approve AGR per staff recommendation; the motion passed. The transcript does not record a roll‑call tally.
