Planning commission continues rezoning for 2300 W. 91st after questions about lot-split plat
Summary
The Jenks Planning Commission continued consideration of rezoning case JZ25-700 after neighbors and staff flagged a possible error in the legal description of a recently approved lot split. The item was continued to Dec. 4 so staff can obtain a corrected plat or confirmation from the surveyor.
The Jenks Planning Commission voted Nov. 6 to continue rezoning case JZ25-700, a request to change a small corner of the parcel at 2300 West 91st Street from agricultural to single-family residential zoning, to its Dec. 4 meeting after questions about the lot-split legal description.
City planner Missus Hilton told the commission the property had been approved for a conditional lot split last month and that one of the resulting lots did not conform to the parcel’s AG (agriculture) zoning. Hilton said council action on the rezoning is expected before deeds for the lot split are filed. She said staff’s recommendation was to approve rezoning the small corner from AG to a more restrictive RE (residential estate) designation.
During public comment, nearby resident Jane Donner said she and neighbors are concerned about possible future higher-density development nearby, citing an example developer’s past projects and a local calculation (0.16 acre per dwelling). A second commenter, who identified herself as Jen and said she represents neighbors the McGraths, told the commission the lot-split plat contained incorrect legal descriptions and that surveyor Cliff Bennett had prepared a corrected plat.
"It was during the actual writing of the staff report that I realized one of the lots didn't conform to the zoning," Hilton said, recommending the commission condition any approval on a corrected lot-split description being submitted to City Council.
Commissioners debated whether to table the matter until the surveyor appeared or to continue the item so the city avoids re-noticing and additional cost. Commissioner (speaker 6) moved to continue the rezoning to the Dec. 4 meeting; the motion was seconded and carried.
The commission recorded the continuance so staff could contact the surveyor, obtain either a corrected lot-split plat or confirmation that the prior description was accurate, and present that information at the Dec. 4 hearing. No final rezoning decision was made Nov. 6.
Next step: The commission will revisit JZ25-700 on Dec. 4 with either a corrected plat or a staff update from the surveyor; council action will follow the commission's recommendation.
