Tulsa Board of Adjustment — meeting roundup: approvals for temporary housing, civic service office, accessory building, several duplexes, and sign variance
Summary
At meeting 1358 the Board continued several items and approved special exceptions and variances across multiple cases: temporary manufactured housing (3‑year limit), Service Oklahoma office at the Farm, an accessory building variance, a container duplex in North Tulsa, and a dynamic display sign variance for a bank.
The City of Tulsa Board of Adjustment at meeting 1358 handled multiple land‑use items: several cases were continued; others were approved with conditions. This roundup lists actions taken and key points for each case.
BOA 23857 (1519 E. 21st St. S.): Continued to May 13 to allow consideration of an associated Historic Preservation Commission application. Applicant requested continuance; board granted it without objection.
BOA 23869 (1120 E. Woodward Blvd. S., accessory dwelling unit): Applicant not present; case set aside and later continued to the next meeting for lack of applicant presence.
BOA 23870 (321 E. Reconciliation Way N., MidFirst ATM): Continued. See separate article for full discussion; board asked for security data and alternatives analysis.
BOA 23871 (2216 E. Fifth Place S., Kirkpatrick duplex): Special exception to permit a duplex approved (see detailed article). The board also approved a variance reducing open space per unit (motion passed 4–1).
BOA 23872 (14096 E. 506th St. N. / applicant Steven Truett): Approved a special exception to permit a manufactured housing unit in an AG district for temporary use. The board limited the approval to three years from the date of approval (04/08/2025) and noted the applicant said the unit is new and would be removed once a permanent house is built.
BOA 23873 (Farm Shopping Center): Approved a special exception to permit a public civic/institutional governmental service use (Service Oklahoma) in a CS district, per the plans in the packet. The board included the applicant’s stated allocation of 86 parking spaces for this tenant in its approval language.
BOA 23874 (2212 N. Owasso Ave., accessory building variance): Approved a variance increasing allowable floor area for a detached accessory building in RS‑4 from 674 sq ft to 1,960 sq ft, finding lot size and the age/condition of the primary home contributed to practical difficulty. Applicant described a workshop/mezzanine and said neighbors were notified and had no objections.
BOA 23875 (5935 N. Frankfurt Ave., duplex): Approved a special exception to permit a duplex in an RS‑3 district; applicant described two‑unit modular/container construction intended for long‑term rentals and said nearby lots include boarded or vacant properties suitable for infill.
BOA 23876 (12212 E. 401st St. S., Priority Bank sign): Approved a variance to permit a dynamic display sign (LED message center) for a financial services use in the SR district. Board discussion noted the SR overlay was adopted earlier and intended primarily for institutional uses; the board concluded the requested sign area and conditions met variance criteria. The applicant agreed to standard dynamic‑display requirements; the board debated adding additional dimming/turn‑off hours but ultimately approved the variance as requested.
Several motions were unanimous; where votes were split the board’s disposition is noted above. Applicants were advised to coordinate with planning staff for permit conditions and to submit required documentation (license agreements, qualified plans) as part of the building‑permit review.
For details on individual cases (motions, vote tallies, and next steps), see the staff case pages linked on the Board of Adjustment agenda packet and the Planning Division’s case reports.
