Staff: rezoning fits Comprehensive Plan employment designation; site in 500-year floodplain
Summary
Planning staff recommended approval of Z-7805, noting the site’s Employment land-use designation, adjacency to CH and industrial zoning, planned sidewalks, limited tree canopy, and that the property lies in the FEMA 500-year floodplain.
Planning staff presented the analysis supporting rezoning application Z-7805 and recommended approval. The staff report said the subject property is designated Employment in the Comprehensive Plan, which is intended to accommodate offices, warehousing, manufacturing and other nonresidential uses. Staff noted adjacency to CH zoning and industrial parcels and stated the requested CS zoning would permit low-intensity commercial uses without negatively impacting surrounding properties.
The staff report included technical details: the site is in the East Tulsa Neighborhood Implementation Plan (Phase 2 area, adopted 2005); it is located in a Late Automobile Era development pattern; existing bike/ped facilities are none but sidewalks are planned for all public street frontages; tree canopy is approximately 16% and preservation/increased landscaping was recommended; and the property is within the FEMA 500-year floodplain designation. Staff also explained that a small event center under 250 capacity is permitted in CS while alcohol sales or a principal-use bar would require Board of Adjustment approvals. The staff recommendation was recorded as: "With consideration given to the factors listed herein, staff recommends approval of the application."
