Commission backs City‑initiated rezoning near Route 66 to commercial‑historic (CH)
Summary
The commission recommended approval of Z‑7853 (RS‑3 to CH) near Southwest Boulevard and West 38th Place South, citing the City’s prior purchase and the site's Multiple Use land‑use designation; vote 9–0–1 with one abstention.
The Tulsa planning commission recommended approval of a City‑initiated rezoning, Z‑7853, to CH (commercial‑historic) for property north and east of the northeast corner of Southwest Boulevard and West 38th Place South. Staff noted the City purchased the property in 2022 and leased the structure to Route 66 Main Street Inc. in 2023 for office use; the lessee has proposed adding a gift shop that is not allowed under the current RS‑3 zoning.
Commissioners voted 9–0–1 to recommend the CH designation, with Commissioner Cue recorded as the lone abstention. Staff said CH zoning is consistent with the land use plan’s Multiple Use designation and would be compatible with surrounding commercially zoned parcels and planned tourism uses along Route 66. No public speakers were recorded on the item.
