Planning commission recommends RM-2 rezoning for property near West Newton and North Union
Summary
The Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission recommended approval of rezoning case Z-7808, changing a property near West Newton Street and North Union Avenue from RS-3 to RM-2 to allow multifamily housing; staff said the change aligns with the Comprehensive Plan and nearby zoning.
The Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission recommended approval of rezoning case Z-7808, moving the parcel west of the northwest corner of West Newton Street and North Union Avenue from RS-3 to RM-2 to permit multifamily residential development.
City staff told commissioners that RM-2 is consistent with the neighborhood designation in the Tulsa Comprehensive Plan and noted several nearby rezonings to higher-density residential districts. "RM-2 zoning is consistent with the neighborhood designation assigned by the Tulsa Comprehensive Plan," staff stated in their recommendation, and the applicant, Craig Immel, indicated agreement with staff's recommendation.
Commissioners weighed the proposal against surrounding land uses and transportation designations; both West Newton Street and North Union Avenue are residential collector streets, which staff said are appropriate locations for higher-density infill projects. With those considerations, the Commission voted to recommend approval of the RM-2 zoning per staff recommendation (Motion by Turner-Addison; second by Bulmash).
