Planning commission backs rezoning of 14 west Tulsa parcels to moderate industrial
Summary
The commission unanimously recommended rezoning 14 parcels west of West 37th Place South and South Elwood Avenue from IL and RS-3 to IM to permit moderate industrial uses; staff cited adjacency to existing industrial employers and the city's Employment land-use designation.
The Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission on Oct. 1 recommended approval of Z-7832, a request to rezone 14 parcels west of the southwest corner of West 37th Place South and South Elwood Avenue from IL and RS-3 to IM to allow moderate industrial uses. Staff told the commission the area is already largely industrial and that the Employment land-use designation anticipates a transition away from residential zoning in this corridor.
Staff noted utilities and industrial operations nearby — including refineries, trucking operations and manufacturing — and said the IM zoning would permit a range of employment uses while a major utility use would still require a special exception in the IM district. The applicant (Westside Industrial LLC) indicated agreement with the staff recommendation. The commission moved to recommend approval; the motion carried 9-0.
