Planning commission approves rezoning of West Tulsa parcel from RS‑3 to AGR
Summary
The Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission on Sept. 17 approved a request to rezone a more-than-2-acre West Tulsa lot from RS‑3 to AGR after staff found the change consistent with the small area plan and surrounding uses.
The Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission on Sept. 17 approved a rezoning request to change a West Tulsa property from RS‑3 (single‑family residential) to AGR (agricultural). Nathan, a planner with the Tulsa Planning Office, told commissioners the applicant sought the rezoning to align the parcel with surrounding AGR properties and that the lot exceeds two acres.
The rezoning application (case C7829) covers property at the northwest corner of West 70 Eighth Street South and South 20 Sixth West Avenue in West Tulsa. Nathan said the lot "meets and exceeds all of the requirements of the AGR district" and that the proposed zoning is consistent with the site's land use designation and the neighborhood's small area plan.
Commissioners asked whether the parcel could be subdivided under AGR. Nathan replied the minimum lot size for AGR is one acre and "they could create two 1‑acre tracts out of this property"; he also confirmed single‑family housing is a permitted use in AGR. The applicant, present at the hearing, indicated agreement with the staff recommendation.
Commissioner Humphrey moved to approve the rezoning; Commissioner Shiller seconded. The commission approved the request by voice vote.
Under the process described during the meeting, TMAPC recommendations move to the City Council for further consideration. Staff framed the commission action as a local planning determination that will be one step in the city's formal review process for rezoning applications.
The commission's approval followed a staff recommendation and limited discussion focused on parcel size and permitted uses. No written conditions or amendments to the staff recommendation were recorded during the hearing.
