Commission recommends RS-5 rezoning to allow two detached houses on vacant lot
Summary
The commission recommended approval of Z-7819 (RS-3 to RS-5) permitting smaller lot widths (30 ft) and lot areas (3,300 sq ft) so the applicant can split a vacant lot into two single-family lots; one neighbor spoke in opposition and the vote was 7-0.
The Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission recommended approval on July 2 of Z-7819 to rezone a vacant property at the northwest corner of East King Street and North Winston Avenue from RS-3 to RS-5. Staff told the commission RS-5 reduces the minimum lot width to 30 feet and the minimum lot area to 3,300 square feet, compared with RS-3 requirements of 60 feet and 6,900 square feet, and that the applicant intends to split the existing lot into two lots for two detached houses.
During public comment, Paul Brinker of 1009 N. Winston Ave. stated he and some neighbors opposed multi‑family zoning on the lot; the applicant indicated the proposal is for single‑family homes. Commissioner Shivel moved to recommend approval per staff; Commissioner Whitlock seconded and the motion passed 7-0-0. The recommendation will move forward to City Council for final action.
