Commission approves land‑use change and rezoning for 55‑acre parcel at 41st and 129th E.
Summary
TMAPC voted 9‑0 to approve CPA‑130 to change about 55.14 acres from Employment to Neighborhood and Local Center and to recommend rezoning (Z‑7857) to permit RS‑5 and a 10‑acre CS corner, enabling new residential subdivisions and a small commercial node.
The Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission on April 15 recommended approval of a comprehensive plan amendment (CPA‑130) to change about 55.14 acres from Employment to Neighborhood and Local Center, and recommended approval of the associated rezoning Z‑7857 to RS‑5 and CS for the southwest corner of East 41st Street South and South 129th East Avenue. The commission’s motions carried 9‑0 (both motions: Motion by Craddock; Second by Shivel).
Applicant Robert Bell argued that a creek/floodplain provides a buffer separating the tract from employment centers to the south and that neighborhood and local center designations would better serve adjacent residential areas. Staff agreed the watercourse provides an appropriate transition and that a Local Center on the corner would provide services for surrounding neighborhoods. The approved action reserves roughly 10.5 acres for CS commercial uses and roughly 44.6 acres for RS‑5 residential uses as described in the legal descriptions recorded in the minutes.
The record includes staff findings that the change aligns with Comprehensive Plan goals to promote Local Centers that serve daily needs and to encourage housing within walkable centers. The commission’s recommendations were recorded with 9‑0 votes; no public speakers were recorded on these items.
