PRELIMINARY PLAT:

Stone Creek Farms (2594)

Location: West of the northwest corner of 51st Street and 193rd East Avenue.

 

Staff Recommendation:

The site is located on the north side of 51st Street west of 193rd East Avenue (County Line Road). The area on the north side of 51st Street is primarily vacant and agricultural in use. An existing airstrip, which is no longer in use, is in the eastern portion of the site.  East 51st Street is the dividing line between Tulsa and Broken Arrow, with Broken Arrow to the south. Multi family use is to the south.

 

The proposed use is single-family residential on lots of approximately 55’ x 120’.

 

The Commission approved the preliminary plat on December 20, 2000.  Progress has been slowed due to the cost of water line extension.

 

The applicant is now ready to proceed with the project and requests extension of the Preliminary Plat. Changes to the plat as previously submitted will be minimal.

 

Staff recommends approval of a six-month extension to June 20, 2002.

 

There were no interested parties wishing to speak.

This major amendment proposes to amend the development standards of PUD-600-A to allow the construction of a 80-foot wooden monopole cellular transmission tower.  The tower would be located on Lot 4, Block 4, Ashton Creek Office Park.  There is an existing cemetery abutting the subject tract on the west.  Other boundaries of the tract are abutted by properties that are also included within PUD-600-A.

 

Staff finds the uses and intensities of development proposed and as modified by staff to be in harmony with the spirit and intent of the Code.  Based on the following conditions, staff finds PUD-600-B as modified by staff, to be:  (1) consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; (2) in harmony with the existing and expected development of surrounding areas; (3) a unified treatment of the development possibilities of the site; and (4) consistent with the stated purposes and standards of the PUD Chapter of the Zoning Code.

7.

Subject to conditions recommended by the Technical Advisory Committee during the subdivision platting process, which are approved by TMAPC.

APPLICATION NO.: PUD-514-1

MINOR AMENDMENT

Applicant: Roy D. Johnsen

(pd-6) (cd-7)

Location: 

Northeast corner of East 33rd Street and South Yale Avenue

 

Staff Recommendation:

The applicant is requesting a minor amendment to allow a canopy height of a maximum of 25 feet for a new bank facility.  The Planned Unit Development allows a maximum building height of 15 feet.

 

The underlying zoning for the PUD within the western 200 feet (approximately) of the property is CS, and the eastern part of the property has RS-2 underlying zoning.  There are duplex and single-family residential uses to the north, east, and south of the eastern part of the subject site.

 

Staff can recommend APPROVAL of the minor amendment requested with the conditions that there be no signage or lighting facing the residential uses to the north, east and south and that the canopy remain within the western 225 feet of the Planned Unit Development.

 

TMAPC Comments:

Mr. Harmon asked Mr. Dunlap why the recommendation changed.  In response, Mr. Dunlap stated that there was a staff member who thought the case maps were to scale and the proposal didn’t scale correctly; however, now it has been corrected.  Mr. Harmon asked if the computer-generated maps would cause problems in the future; if they were not to scale, it would be miscalculated.  In response, Mr. Dunlap stated that staff and Mr. Johnsen agree that the case maps should be to scale.  Mr. Dunlap commented that staff would address this issue.

 

Applicant’s Comments:

Roy Johnsen, 201 West 5th, Suite 501, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103, stated that the case maps are to scale and they are not out of proportion; however, it is not a recognized scale.  He explained that the staff member used the regular scale assuming it was to architectural scale.  He commented that the map is correct proportionally and it is still helpful.

 

TMAPC Action; 8 members present:

On MOTION of CARNES, TMAPC voted 7-0-1 (Carnes, Harmon, Hill, Ledford, Midget, Pace, Westervelt "aye"; no "nays"; Jackson” abstaining"; Bayles, Horner, Selph "absent") to APPROVE the minor amendment for PUD-514-1 subject to conditions as recommended by staff.

ZONING PUBLIC HEARING

APPLICATION NO.: PUD-390-A

MAJOR AMENDMENT

Applicant: John W. Moody

(pd-18) (cd-7)

Location: 

Northeast corner of East 61st Street and South 89th East Avenue

 

Staff Recommendation:

PUD-390 consists of 2.2913 acres located at the northeast corner of East 61st Street and South 89th East Avenue.  The PUD was approved for uses permitted in an OL district, excluding funeral home use and drive-bank facilities.  This major amendment proposes to divide the site into two development areas.  Development Area A would contain a branch bank with drive-in facilities.  Development Area B is proposed for office uses.

 

The subject tract is zoned PUD-390/OL.  The tract is abutted on the north by single-family dwellings zoned RS-3 and on the east by a townhouse development zoned RT.  To the west of the tract, across South 89th East Avenue, are single-family dwellings and duplexes zoned RS-3.  To the south, across East 61st Street South, is vacant property zoned RM-1/PUD-397 that has been approved for uses permitted by right in an OL district, excluding funeral homes and drive-in banks.

 

The conditions are very similar to those in 1985 when the City Commission found that drive-in bank facilities were not appropriate for the site.

 

Staff finds the uses proposed to not be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan or harmony with the existing and expected development of surrounding areas.

 

Therefore, staff recommends DENIAL of PUD-390-A.

 

If the Planning Commission finds that drive-in banking facilities are appropriate on the subject tract, staff would recommend the following conditions:

 

1.

The applicant's Outline Development Plan and Text be made a condition of approval, unless modified herein.

2.

Development Standards:

 

DEVELOPMENT AREA A

 

Land Area (Net):

49,807 SF

 

Permitted Uses:

 

 

 

Those uses included within Use Unit 11, including drive-in bank facilities and excluding funeral home uses.

 

Maximum Building Floor Area:

5,000 SF

 

Maximum Building Height:

One-story

 

Minimum Building Setbacks:*

 

 

 

From the centerline of East 61st Street

100 FT

 

 

From the centerline of South 89th East Avenue

  55 FT

 

 

From the east boundary of the Development Area

   5 FT

 

 

From the north boundary of the Development Area

Minimum Off-Street Parking:

 

 

 

As required by the applicable Use Unit of the Tulsa Zoning Code.

 

Minimum Landscaped Area:

15% of net lot area.

Other Bulk and Area Requirements:

 

 

 

As established within an OL district.

 

*The drive-in facility, and/or canopy, shall be located on the south side of the building, shall be set back a minimum of 110 feet from the north boundary of the PUD and shall meet the other minimum building setback requirements listed above.
