County parcel rezoned to RS-1; commissioners note septic requirement
Summary
The commission recommended rezoning ~78.5 acres from AG to RS-1 for single-family lots but highlighted that the parcel lacks public sanitary sewer and will require private septic systems meeting Oklahoma DEQ rules.
The commission recommended approval of County case CZ-570, rezoning approximately 78.5 acres at the northeast corner of E. 126th St. N and N. Yale Ave from agricultural (AG) to RS-1 residential. Staff and the applicant noted the site is not served by public sanitary sewer and that Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) standards will affect minimum lot sizes for septic systems; staff nonetheless found RS-1 consistent with the Tulsa County Comprehensive Plan and recommended approval.
Applicant Megan Pasco of Tanner Consulting indicated agreement with staff's recommendation. The commission voted 9-0 to recommend RS-1 (motion by Craddock, second Whitlock). The staff report and motion record note that private septic systems will be required on each lot and that ODEQ may require at least 22,500 sq ft for septic suitability in some cases, while the RS-1 zoning minimum lot size is 13,500 sq ft.
Next steps: recommendation advances per county procedures; applicants must satisfy ODEQ septic requirements and any site-specific engineering constraints before final development.
