Owasso staff present Owasso Trails PUD proposal for 37.6-acre single-family development; planning commission recommended approval
Summary
City staff reviewed OPUD 25-02 (Owasso Trails), a proposed Planned Unit Development for about 37.6 acres north of East 76th Street North and west of North Memorial Drive, proposing up to 150 single-family dwelling units with deviations from RS-2 lot standards; planning commission recommended approval to the council.
City staff presented OPUD 25‑02, a proposed Planned Unit Development called Owasso Trails on approximately 37.6 acres north of East 76th Street North and west of North Memorial Drive. The applicant proposes single-family homes and is requesting deviations from base RS‑2 zoning to reduce minimum lot area (from 9,000 sq. ft. to 4,800 sq. ft.), reduce minimum lot width (from 75 feet to 40 feet) and reduce rear yard setbacks (from 25 feet to 20 feet).
Wendy Kramer, the staff presenter, said the PUD document limits the development to four dwelling units per acre (a 150‑unit cap by that calculation) and the conceptual plan shows roughly 141 dwelling units (about 3.75 units per acre), below the RS‑2 maximum density cited in the submission. The conceptual plan includes two access points on North Memorial Drive, a nature preserve of over two acres following the stream that bisects the site, internal walking trails, a tot lot, a pickleball or tennis court, a shade structure, and perimeter screening and fencing.
Kramer told the council that Washington County Rural Water District No. 3 is the water provider for the site and the city of Owasso would provide sewer. She said the planning commission heard the case at its regular meeting and voted 3‑0 to recommend approval; staff had not received public comments or citizen feedback prior to the meeting. Kramer said the item will appear on the council agenda the following week (June 17) for a council vote.
Councilors asked technical questions about floodplain designation for the stream and how parking requirements will be handled if some homes do not include garages; Kramer and other staff said density and parking minimums are governed by base code unless the PUD explicitly varies them, and those detailed design issues will be reviewed at the plat/engineering stage.
No council vote was taken at this meeting; the council will consider the PUD at its next regular meeting.
