SUBJECT: Specific Use Permit ( SUP 25- 01) — AAMCO
DATE: March 6, 2025
BACKGROUND:
The Community Development Department received an application for review and approval of a
Specific Use Permit ( SUP) to allow for an automotive repair and maintenance use in a Commercial
Shopping ( CS) zoning district and within the US- 169 Overlay District. The subject property is located at
10596 North Owasso Expressway, near the southwestern corner of the intersection of East 106th Street
North and North Owasso Expressway.
SUBJECT PROPERTY/ PROJECT DATA:
Property Size 0. 60 acres +/-
Current Zoning Commercial Shopping ( CS)
Present Use Vacant
Proposed Use Automotive Repair & Maintenance
Land Use Master Plan Commercial
Within a Planned Unit
Yes; PUD 18
Develo menfi PUD ?
Within Overlay
District??
Yes; US- 169 Overlay District
Water Provider Washington County Rural Water District # 3
Applicable Paybacks
Assessed at Plattin
N/ A ( already platted)
ANALYSIS:
The subject property was annexed into Owasso City Limits with Ordinance 633 in 2000 and is
platted as Lot 1, Block 1 Caffeine Corner Addition.
An SUP is required in certain zoning districts for uses or structures that may be considered more
intense than what is allowed by right, through the City of Owasso' s Zoning Code.
Per the Owasso Zoning Code an automotive repair and maintenance facility is allowed, with
an SUP, in the CS zoning district and within the US- 169 Overlay District.
o Thus, an SUP is needed for the proposed use on this property, as it is zoned CS and is
within the US- 169 Overlay District.
The GrOwasso 2035 Land Use Master Plan identifies the subject property for future commercial
uses.
o All surrounding parcels immediately adjacent to the subject property are also identified
for future commercial uses on the Plan, and have been zoned commercially.
The applicant has worked with staff to design the site and new structure in an appropriate
manner that conforms to the design requirements of the Zoning Code and minimizes the
impacts on adjacent properties.
SUP 25- 01

o The proposed automotive repair shop will be a six ( 6) bay structure, composed of brick
veneer and EFIS, thus meeting the fagade requirements for commercial structures seen
within Chapter 1 1 of the Owasso Zoning Code.
o The applicant has indicated there will be no outdoor storage of cars and/ or
merchandise of any kind on the site; therefore, there are no additional screening
fencing required per Chapter 19 of the Owasso Zoning Code.
o The conceptual site plan shows a dense landscaping bed along the western property
line, with three ( 3) additional large trees than what is required by Code. All landscaping
requirements outlined in Chapter 19 of the Owasso Zoning Code will have to be met.
o As indicated on the conceptual site plan, the applicant intends to install only wall -pack
lighting fixtures on the building only. All lighting will have to comply with Chapter 20 of
the Owasso Zoning Code.
o The applicant has indicated that they are aware of the Owasso Noise Ordinance, and
will comply with such, per a note on the conceptual site plan.
o The dumpsters for the site will be located on the far southwestern corner of the property
and will be fully screened, per Chapter 19 of the Owasso Zoning Code.
The main purpose of the SUP requirement is to ensure the development does not impose any
negative direct impacts to adjoining properties and that the proposed use works in harmony
within the context of the area.
o The subject property is situated along an emerging commercial corridor, with two
similar auto -related uses already in existence in the area. As such, staff has determined
that a land use such as an auto repair facility may be appropriate within this emerging
commercial corridor, if the correct controls are utilized with an SUP.
Any further development that occurs on the subject property shall adhere to all development,
zoning, and engineering requirements of the City of Owasso.

SUBJECT: Project Application- Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG 2025)
DATE: March 6, 2025
BACKGROUND:
The primary objective of the national Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, is the
development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living
environment, particularly for persons of low and moderate incomes." All project proposals submitted
for funding through the CDBG Program must document the achievement of at least one ( 1) of the
following national objectives:
Provide benefit to low- and moderate -income persons;
Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; and
Meet other community development needs having particular urgency or posing a serious or
immediate threat to the health or welfare of a community.
ANTICIPATED FUNDING:
On January 30, 2025, the Indian Nation Council of Governments ( INCOG) provided information
regarding the 2025 CDBG application. The completed application is due no later than April 11, 2025,
Owasso is a part of an Urban County and as such does not compete for the funding through the
State Department of Commerce, According to INCOG, Owasso will receive an estimated allocation
of $159,894.62 for the 2025 CDBG funding cycle (pending Congressional approval and funding). The
grant does not require a local match.
HISTORY:
In the past, the Owasso has utilized CDBG monies for sidewalk, sanitary sewer, street, and park
improvements. In 2014, Housing of Urban Development ( HUD) changed the income limits that
determined if individuals and families qualified as " low to moderate income" households. HUD' s
formula used Census Tracts as the geography to determine if an area qualifies or does not. As a
result, Owasso lost most of its qualifying Census Tracts, with the exception of the Baptist Village area.
Due to the income limit change, communities were left to conduct door- to- door surveys to qualify
smaller geographic areas within the larger Census Tracts.
In 2016, staff conducted a door-to-door survey in the Hale Acres neighborhood near North Garnett
Road and East 116th Street North. The data collected from this survey met the income requirement
thresholds and allowed the neighborhood to qualify for CDBG funds. The surveys are only good for
5- year periods, and therefore in the late winter of 2021, staff performed a second door- to- door survey
in the Hale Acres neighborhood. The survey results again met the income limit thresholds allowing
the area to be re -qualified for another 5-year period, meaning the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 grant cycle
Will be the last year of qualification off of this survey for the Hale Acres neighborhood. Since 2017, the
City has used its CDBG allocation to replace and/ or upgrade sanitary sewer and water lines in this
neighborhood.

PUBLIC MEETING:
Per INCOG, a public meeting is required in order to receive feedback concerning the proposed use
of these CDBG funds. As such, said public meeting is scheduled to occur at 3pm, in the Owasso City
Hall Community Room, on March 13, 2025.
PROPOSED 2025 PROJECT:
Last year, staff received permission from INCOG to do a phased approach to the next portion of
infrastructure upgrades that are proposed to occur in the Hale Acres neighborhood. As such, staff
has " banked" the funds awarded to the City from the FY 2024 grant cycle, and intends to combine
said funds with the anticipated funding from the FY 2025 grant cycle, if awarded. Staff determined
that by accumulating two years' worth of funding and waiting to do one larger project as opposed
to two separate, smaller projects, the City will ultimately be able to reduce costs associated with
bidding and mobilization.
In the second half of 2025, the City plans to begin work on replacing three water lines within the Hales
Acres neighborhood, along East 114th Street North, North 109th East Avenue, and North I I2th East
Avenue. With both the 2024 and 2025 allocation of funds, staff proposes to install approximately four
thousand ( 4, 000) linear feet of new 6" PVC water line along the aforementioned streets. This project
will be a continuation of the ongoing infrastructure work that has previously been completed in this
neighborhood.
