Commission approves rezoning and preliminary plat for new subdivision near Lynn Lane Reservoir
Summary
The commission approved rezoning from AG to RS-5 (with RD at the west edge) plus a preliminary plat for a phased subdivision. Staff recommended a modification to block-length rules because the site abuts the Lynn Lane Reservoir and cannot provide a street connection there.
The Tulsa County Planning Commission approved a rezoning and preliminary plat for a new phased single-family subdivision at the northwest corner of East 31st Street South and South 193rd East Avenue.
Staff described the request as a change from agricultural zoning to RS-5 for most of the property with RD zoning proposed on the western edge for duplexes. The proposal included a preliminary plat (Item 12) that reflects lot counts and a phased construction approach. Staff said the southeastern corner of the property lies in a flood plain and is not developable; stormwater facilities are planned there.
Because the site borders Lynn Lane Reservoir and an adjacent city-owned property that is unlikely to develop, the developer requested a modification to subdivision regulations to permit greater block lengths where additional street connections cannot be provided. Staff recommended approval of the rezoning, preliminary plat and the block-length modification subject to technical advisory-committee and subdivision regulations conditions.
Commissioner Humphrey moved to approve item 7 with staff-recommended conditions; Commissioner Shible seconded and the motion passed. Commissioner Crook moved to approve item 12 per staff recommendations, including the requested modification to Table 5-1 regarding block lengths; Commissioner Chivel seconded and the motion passed.
