2:14

So both item two and five, we've received a request from the applicant to continue those items to April 1st.

2:28

Okay.

2:29

Any questions for Nathan?

2:31

Okay, just so the audience knows, um, we typically grant a continuance to the applicant and a continuance to staff or the opposition historically.

2:44

So for items two and five, we will be discussing the continuance.

2:52

And if you've signed up to speak on those items, I can call you up, but we will be speaking to the continuance only and not hearing the case today, in all likelihood.

3:04

There's a chance we could, but historically, we've can granted these continuances.

3:12

So would the applicant like to come up.

3:29

Mr.

3:29

Chairman, Lou Reynolds, 2727 East 21st Street, suite 200, Tulsa 74114.

3:36

Uh we've asked for this continuance in order to prepare more information to address the concerns raised by staff in the report.

3:43

We couldn't have time to get that done in time for today's meeting from the time we got that.

3:47

So that's why we requested.

3:49

Any questions for the applicant?

3:51

Okay, thank you, sir.

3:53

Thank you.

3:54

So I will call the speakers now, and if you wish to not come up because of the continuance, you can just decline.

4:01

But if you would like to speak to the continuance, you can come up and have five minutes if you need it.

4:08

Uh first speaker, Adam Levitt.

4:14

Thank you.

4:14

Adam Levitt, 2259 South Troost Avenue, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74114.

4:22

And first one to say just appreciate the commission, what you guys are doing.

4:27

I think it's fantastic and really important.

4:29

Um I'm representing Ann Landworth Holdings, which owns 78 acres to the west, adjoining this phase two.

4:38

Um I'm hoping to be included in the continuance because they're actually considering making an offer on the property.

4:49

To be frank, I'm in I'm against it, but I represent the LLC, which my sister is the other beneficial interest owner, and she wants to sell.

5:00

So for her benefit, we're hoping they just offer us an amazing value because she would love to sell the property.

5:07

So you could see that as a landowner and as the manager of the LLC, you know, I'm even have conflicted uh thoughts around it, as perhaps some of you on the commission.

5:18

So I can identify with that.

5:19

All I know is that we support the city of Tulsa, the master plan, and the purposeful uh zoning from agriculture where we stand now, you know, potentially even to light industrial if it suits the master plan.

5:37

But as you know, so are are you we're just speaking to the continuance case?

Summary of Proceedings

Tulsa Planning Commission Meeting – March 19, 2026

The Tulsa Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 19, 2026, to consider multiple rezoning, plat, and subdivision requests. The meeting began with the approval of routine items, followed by two requested continuances for rezoning cases. Several minor and preliminary plats for residential and mixed-use subdivisions were approved, including two larger residential developments (items 8 and 9) and a church project (items 11/12). Commissioner Bullmash recused from item 4 due to a conflict of interest related to district funding.

Consent Calendar

  • Item 1 was approved unanimously with no consent agenda items.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • Items 2/5 (continuance): Multiple residents spoke against the continuance, urging the commission to hear the case today rather than delay. Speakers included: Adam Levitt (representing adjacent landowner, expressed conflicted but hoped for a favorable offer), Jessica Peraza (citizen, wanted to hear the case today), Vivian Allen (citizen, opposed continuance), Linda Allegro (citizen, wanted to hear today), Cheyenna Morgan (citizen, noted phase one was approved in 2024), Jordan Harman (citizen, recommended denying continuance), Bradford Lovett (citizen, wanted to hear today), Robert Ross (citizen, against continuance), Nira Singh (citizen, encouraged denying continuance), Haley Parmenter (citizen, feared loss of public faith if delayed), and Mitchell Gilliam (citizen, argued the applicant should be ready). All expressed opposition to the continuance.
  • Item 4: Bree Barrett, project manager for the City of Tulsa, spoke in support of the rezoning, noting it would benefit the Route 66 Main Street House and historic village.
  • Items 13/14: Roger Ferguson (property owner backing up to the site) expressed concerns about floodplain, but did not formally speak; he was advised to meet with staff afterward.

Discussion Items

  • Items 2/5 (Rezoning – Phase Two): The applicant, Lou Reynolds (2727 East 21st St, Suite 200, Tulsa), requested a continuance to April 1, 2026, to prepare additional information addressing staff concerns. Staff noted this was the first continuance request for this new application. The commission discussed the request; Commissioner Bullmash noted that the typical practice is to grant a first continuance. The motion carried to continue to April 1.
  • Item 3 (Rezoning): The applicant also requested a continuance to April 15, 2026, due to additional property being added and the need for new notices and maps. Staff supported the continuance. Motion passed.
  • Item 4 (Rezoning – Route 66 Village): Staff explained the City Council-initiated rezoning of a 0.5-acre parcel at the Route 66 Main Street office from RS3 to CH to allow a gift shop. The property is owned by the city and adjacent to the historic village. Staff recommended approval, finding it consistent with the comprehensive plan. Commissioner Q recused himself due to involvement in district funding decisions. The motion passed.
  • Item 6 (Minor Plat – Flat Rock Ridge): Staff recommended approval of the minor plat for a 78.6-acre subdivision. All infrastructure is in place; no conditions were tied. Approved.
  • Item 7 (Minor Plat – Phoenix at 36th Street North): A mixed-use subdivision; infrastructure is already completed. Approved.
  • Item 8 (Preliminary Plat – 41st & 145th): A single-family subdivision (RS5) on the southwest corner of E 41st St S and S 145th E Ave. Staff recommended approval of the preliminary plat and a modification to increase block length for blocks 10 and 16. The applicant, Kevin Mavers (Robson Companies), noted revisions to the southeast corner and nearly 20% open space. Motion passed with conditions noted in staff report and phasing plan.
  • Item 9 (Preliminary Plat – 31st & 193rd): A single-family subdivision at SW corner of E 31st St S and S 193rd E Ave. Applicant Eric Enyard (Tanner Consulting) agreed with staff recommendations, noting a productive TAC meeting and ongoing design work. Motion passed with conditions similar to item 8.
  • Item 10 (Preliminary Plat – 41st & 177th): A 40-acre RS5 tract at NE corner of E 41st St S and S 177th E Ave. No modifications requested. Approved.
  • Items 11/12 (Preliminary Plat & Accelerated Release – Church): Located at NW corner of E 51st St S and S 136th E Ave. Staff noted the project includes a meeting house and temple for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Approved.
