County planning panel deadlocks on RM‑0 rezoning for existing multifamily site; tie sent to commissioners
Summary
A vote on CZ‑590 (AG to RM‑0) and PUD‑879 to regularize and allow improvements on an existing multifamily site ended in a 3-3 tie at the TMAPC; the outcome will be forwarded to the County Commissioners for final action.
On May 20 the Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission was evenly split, 3-3, on CZ‑590 and the related PUD‑879, which would change an approximately 10‑acre property from AG to RM‑0 to bring existing multifamily structures into zoning compliance and to permit incremental parking and site improvements.
Applicant Robert Bell and owner John Roach said the rezoning would allow continued occupancy and bring the site into compliance with County inspection requirements without expanding the number of units. A resident, Nicole Watts, urged scaling the PUD to the immediate developed area rather than rezoning the entire property. Commissioners expressed concern about gaps in the PUD, and the tie vote means the recommendation is forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners for decision under code procedures.
