This is a continuation of a project that's happening immediately west of the subject property and was previously rezoned with the almost an identical application.

4:12

The comprehensive plan in this area has anticipated for some time that the properties on the north side of 27th Street and up against the Broken Arrow Expressway would likely become some sort of commercial or multiple use zoning category.

4:26

The project that's happening on the west side has come up with some future expansion plans that would utilize that property to the east, and so they've asked to also rezone that property from RS3 to CG.

Summary of Proceedings

TMAPC Meeting #2963 - June 17, 2026

The Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission (TMAPC) held its 2963rd meeting on June 17, 2026, to consider several rezoning requests, preliminary plat extensions, and public hearing items. The meeting included approvals of routine items, a controversial continuance for a commercial center rezoning, and staff updates.

Consent Calendar

  • Items 1 and 2: Routine approval items were moved and approved unanimously.
  • Item 3: Consent agenda item approved without discussion.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • Items 8 and 9 (CZ595 / PUD 881): J.R. Donaldson, applicant representative, spoke in support of a rezoning from AG to CG with a PUD for a commercial center (including restaurant and mixed-use) on 2.847 acres at 2808 East 151st Street South, Bixby. He noted the area's rapid residential growth and the owner's intention to operate a restaurant. He stated he had telephone conversations with neighboring developers but no face-to-face meeting with all parties.
  • Brandon Perkins, representing the adjacent property owner (Lindsay Perkins), requested a continuance, stating that proper notice had not been given and that the applicant had only recently contacted them. He expressed concerns about the broad commercial zoning and wanted time to negotiate restrictions.
  • Mr. Donaldson accepted the request for a continuance and agreed to meet with neighbors.

Discussion Items

  • Director's Report (Susan Miller): Briefed the commission on two recent cases: a landscaping business rezoning approved by City Council (49 West 49th St, Tacoma) and a withdrawn application (Admiral Place and 177th East Ave). No questions.
  • Item 4 (Z7862): Staff presented a rezoning from RS-3 to CG at the northeast corner of South Harvard Avenue and East 27th Street, consistent with the comprehensive plan's multi-use designation. No opposition; approved.
  • Item 5 (CZ593): County rezoning from AG to RS-1 for an 80-acre single-family subdivision (approx. 108 lots, minimum half-acre lots) at 6900 block E 116th St N. Staff recommended approval with conditions. No opposition; approved.
  • Items 6 and 7 (CZ594 / PUD 880): County rezoning from AG to CS with a PUD for a covered boat/RV storage facility on 10.31 acres at 12330 N Yale Ave, Sperry. Staff found it compatible with the Highway 75 corridor. No opposition; approved.
  • Items 8 and 9 (CZ595 / PUD 881): The applicant proposed a commercial center (restaurant, retail, office, and possible residential) on 2.847 acres. Staff recommended approval with the PUD.

A neighboring developer requested a continuance due to lack of prior engagement. The commission debated the request; applicant agreed to meet. Motion to continue to July 1, 2026, passed.
  • Item 10: Extension of preliminary plat for Fraser's edition (16 acres, northeast corner of W 51st St S and Gilcrease Expy) due to OTA access issues. One-year extension approved.
