Item #12: Motion was made by Stephens and seconded by Whitehouse to send the item back to the Planning Commission on discussion and possible action to consider rezoning/lot split cases CCZ-2178 and CCLS-3070; applicant, Tanner Consulting, requests approval of rezoning from Agricultural to Light Residential District on tract 1 and 2 to allow a lot-split located at 6655 Riva Ridge Road, Tulsa. Murray stated this is a rezoning request to rezone from Agricultural to Light Residential District. Tract 1 will contain 2.74 acres more or less and meet all requirements of Light Residential. Tract 2 will contain 16.62 and meet all requirements of Light Residential. Tract is surrounded by Agricultural and Light Residential. The Applicant is present. The CCPC recommended approval on 8-19-25, along with the Planning Office. Stephens addressed the uniqueness of this property with the potential use being a subdivision, I would recommend that this is sent back to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The 2.74 acres meet the zoning requirements. However, the 16.62 does not fit the requirements. This is Agricultural, per the HOA Bylaws it must be approved by them before it comes to this Board. We have consulted with legal; you are good on the 2.74 acres that is a normal one. The 16.62 doesn't fit the regulations as presented. I think it needs to go back to the CCPC where you can submit a plan with the application. Instead of not having a plan to present and you just saying this may happen. Andrew Shanks, Attorney for landowner spoke briefly with the Board about the CCPC recommending approval and the Planning Office recommending approval as well. The 16.62 acres is currently in litigation to determine what covenants will govern that parcel. This is the first step in the process, is to get this rezoned, then the platting process would begin. We need the rezoning to be approved to move forward. Shanks suggested tabling the item until the next meeting to discuss. Stephens stated I would be more prone to send it back to CCPC to be heard on the September 16, 2025 meeting where you can submit the plan and be within the regulations. Shanks asked if the plan Stephen's was referring to is the Preliminary Plat, Stephens stated yes. This way we have a clear idea of what's going to happen. It is would give a clear and transparent future plan for the 16.62-acre tract. Shanks stated his client was following the current regulations, that he would take this back to his client and will be prepared for the next meeting. Charles Wilkins, Foxbriar at the Oaks counsel, stated that the recommended process would be appropriate and he agreed with the Board. Vote as follows: Stephens - Aye, Moore - Aye, Whitehouse - Aye.
