TMAPC recommends RS‑5 rezoning for proposed cottage‑house development near E. 48th N and Iroquois
Summary
The commission voted 9‑0 to recommend rezoning Z‑7827 from RS‑3 to RS‑5 to allow a cottage‑house development; staff cited the Tulsa Comprehensive Plan and transit access and the applicant said units would be about 400 sq ft.
The Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission recommended approval Aug. 20 of Z‑7827, a request to rezone property north of the northeast corner of East 48th Street North and North Iroquois Avenue from RS‑3 to RS‑5 to permit a cottage house development.
Staff told the commission the RS‑5 designation would allow cottage houses — small detached homes clustered around a common courtyard — and aligns with the Tulsa Comprehensive Plan and the Citywide Housing Assessment’s emphasis on missing‑middle housing near transit corridors. Staff also noted proximity to the Aero BRT route on North Peoria Avenue and the Osage Prairie Trail as favorable factors. "The applicant is proposing to rezone the property from RS‑3 to RS‑5 to permit a cottage house development," staff wrote in the record.
The applicant confirmed design details during the hearing; the minutes record that the applicant stated "these units would be 400 square feet." Commissioner Craddock asked how many units the project would include; staff estimated roughly 13 units before required open space reduced that number. The commission voted to recommend approval 9‑0‑0 (motion by Commissioner Bulmash; second by Commissioner Hood).
Next steps: the rezoning recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for its consideration as part of the formal land use and zoning process.
