Broken Arrow Planning Commission Meeting Summary - October 22, 2026

This summary is based on the raw transcript; no agenda or minutes were available. The Broken Arrow Planning Commission met on October 22, 2026, and took action on a withdrawn development application, a residential lot split, a minor PUD amendment for the Regent Bank Amphitheater, the 2027 meeting schedule, and a zoning ordinance item that was tabled.

Consent Calendar

• Item 4A (staff recommendation) was approved by roll call vote: Payne, Clempa, Townsend, and Cohen all voted yes. Item 4B was pulled from the consent agenda for separate consideration.

Public Comments & Testimony

• During the public hearing for the Regent Bank Amphitheater sign amendment, Hayden Mert of Kimmy Horn, representing the applicant, stated he had no further comments and that staff had addressed the case sufficiently. No other public testimony was offered.

Old Business

• Item A (26-16-19): Staff reported that the applicant had withdrawn the building elevations application for CSI Aerospace (site 003113-2026), a 10-acre IL Industrial Light site located one-eighth mile east of Olive Avenue/129th East Avenue, south of West Florence Street. The withdrawal was to allow the applicant to meet the minimum facade requirements in the zoning code. Staff noted no guidance had yet come back from City Council or the Chamber of Commerce, but the applicant had watched the prior meeting discussion and decided to revise the plan. No commission action was required.

Discussion Items

• Item 4B - Lallicker lot split: Staff presented a request to split a 0.39-acre lot into a 0.21-acre lot and a 0.18-acre lot in DROD Area Two and R3 single-family residential zoning. The property is located one-third mile south of Kenosha Street and one-quarter mile west of Ninth Street, platted as part of Flodorgy Heights subdivision. Both resulting lots would meet minimum dimensional requirements; the property is not in a 100-year floodplain; water and sanitary sewer are available; and a private sanitary sewer easement must be dedicated before the lot split is recorded. The Technical Advisory Committee had no comments on October 13, 2026. A commissioner who wanted to know whether one lot would contain a pool moved to table the item; the motion failed for lack of a second. A subsequent motion to approve the lot split passed 3-1 (Payne no; Clempa, Townsend, and Cohen yes), subject to new warranty deeds for both parcels being brought simultaneously to the planning and development division to be stamped before recording in Tulsa County (with the transcript also referencing Wagner County).
• Item 6A - Regent Bank Amphitheater minor PUD amendment: Staff described a minor amendment to PUD-003128-2026 amending PUD-001265-2024 on 41.15 acres, formerly the Sunset Amphitheater, proposing to amend the signage portion of the original PUD. The site is one-half mile north of New Orleans Street/101st Street, three-quarters of a mile west of Evans Road/225th East Avenue, and east of the Creek Turnpike. During the public hearing, commissioners raised concerns about lighting and shielding. Staff responded that the original PUD limits illumination to no more than 70 foot candles measured from two feet away, includes dimming restrictions based on sunrise/sunset, and that these standards are unchanged from the 2008 zoning code. Staff acknowledged that the code does not specifically require shielding, but said the foot-candle and dimming standards address nuisance lighting. One commissioner commented that the sign package seemed more like publicity signage than wayfinding; staff said the signs are proportional to the 40-plus-acre site and amphitheater scale. The public hearing was closed, and the commission approved the amendment 3-1 (Payne yes; Clempa no; Townsend yes; Cohen yes) per staff recommendation.
• Item 8A - 2027 Planning Commission meeting schedule: The commission reviewed the proposed schedule, noted the same cadence including November and December first and third meetings, and approved it unanimously. The schedule will go to the City Council on November 3, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. in the same chambers.
• Item 8B - Zoning ordinance amendment: Staff requested a continuation because of potential notice publication issues, saying this was the first amendment to the zoning ordinance since the new ordinance was adopted. The commission tabled the item unanimously; a new notice and rescheduled date will be developed.
