Owasso staff previews First Street Lofts PUD that would allow up to 12 apartments
Summary
City staff presented OPUD 24-02 for 207 W. First St., a 0.33-acre downtown lot where the applicant proposes a two‑story building of up to 12 units; Planning Commission recommended approval 3–0 and staff said the final unit count and access will be set at site plan review.
City staff introduced a proposed Planned Unit Development, OPUD 24-02, for 207 West First Street that would allow a two-story multifamily building of up to 12 dwelling units on a 0.33-acre lot in the downtown overlay.
Wendy Kramer, a city staff member, told the council the property is currently zoned residential multifamily and that “per section 10.12.17 of the Owasso zoning code, a PUD overlay is required for all multifamily developments in excess of 6 dwelling units within that downtown Overlay district.” Kramer said the conceptual plan shows a single 12‑unit building, producing a gross density of about 36 dwelling units per acre, with an internal parking lot and two public guest spaces on West First Street. She added that a screening fence would be required adjacent to lower‑intensity single‑family uses.
Kramer also said the Planning Commission heard the case the previous night and “voted 3–0 to recommend approval of OPUD 24‑02 to city council.” Councilors pressed staff on whether the unit count was fixed; Kramer said the applicant had discussed building either 10 or 12 units and that the final number will be determined at the site‑plan stage. She confirmed the single point of access is conceptual and will be finalized during site planning.
No formal council vote occurred during the meeting. Staff said the item will be scheduled for a council vote at the Dec. 17 meeting, and that parking, access location and the exact unit count will be set during the site‑plan review that follows approval of any PUD overlay.
The Planning Commission recommendation and staff presentation were the principal formal actions recorded on this item; additional details will be established if the council advances the ordinance and the project proceeds to site planning.
