Developer seeks annexation, rezoning of 37-acre tract north of E 76th; planning commission recommended approval
Summary
A combined annexation and rezoning request for about 37.6 acres north of E 76th Street (near North Memorial Drive) would change the property from county agriculture to RS‑2 single‑family medium density upon annexation; planning commission recommended approval 3–0 and staff will return with ordinances.
Planning staff presented a combined annexation (OA25‑02) and rezoning (OZ25‑03) request for approximately 37.6 acres located about a quarter mile north of E 76th Street, north and west of North Memorial Drive.
Staff said the property is currently zoned agriculture in Tulsa County and is contiguous with city limits on its southern boundary; it is unplatted and must be platted before any building permits are issued. The applicant seeks RS‑2 single‑family medium‑density zoning upon annexation; staff said that requested zoning is consistent with the Grow Owasso 2035 long-range land-use map that calls for future residential uses in the area.
Staff noted the site contains some floodplain and that the water provider for the property is Washington County Rural Water District No. 3 while the sewer provider would be the City of Owasso. Planning commission reviewed the matter and voted 3–0 to recommend approval; no members of the public spoke at the planning commission hearing. Barring concerns, staff expects to bring annexation and rezoning ordinances to council next week.
Councilors asked logistical questions about the municipal boundary and whether the right-of-way along the railroad is included; staff said state statute often presumes inclusion of adjacent right-of-way and that the parcel does touch city limits at a sliver to the north.
Ending: Staff will return with ordinances for council consideration at the next council meeting.
