Votes at a glance (actions taken):

Why it matters: the board applied the city's recently revised home-sharing rules — including guidance that hosts provide one parking space per four guests and that structures rented for more than four bedrooms may trigger a commercial change-of-use and require building-code review. Several neighbors said concentration of short-term rentals on a block and on-street parking threaten safety and neighborhood cohesion.

Contentious application continued: Case 15886 (4 Big Home Sales LLC) generated the meeting's longest public comment period. Applicant Austin Kohn described plans for a 5-bedroom remodel and requested up to 12 guests; neighbors described on-street parking, vehicle-safety risks at a street corner, and uncertainty about host contactability. Terry Tibbetts and other neighbors urged a lower guest cap (8 or fewer) and no on-street parking during quiet hours. Planning staff (Sarah Welch) advised the board that the city’s development-services guidance requires compliance with the International Residential Code and that renting more than four bedrooms could trigger a change-of-use and commercial building-code review. The board continued the case to 05/01/2025 and requested documentation (floor plan/permits) showing bedroom counts and any required plan-review/permit actions before considering a larger guest allowance.

Board conditions and common terms: across approvals, the board commonly set quiet hours, restricted on-street parking during quiet hours, capped vehicle counts tied to site capacity, and in new applications often limited initial approvals to one year to allow a performance review at renewal. For renewals the board typically granted three-year terms when the application was timely and had no protests or complaints.

Next steps: applicants with granted special exceptions must comply with the conditions set by the board and with any building-code or plan-review requirements noted by staff. Case 15886 was continued to the May 1 meeting for submission of documentation and plan-review findings.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Oklahoma City Board of Adjustment - April 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Board granted a series of home-sharing special exceptions (renewals and new licenses) with conditions and continued a contentious new application (Case 15886) to May 1 after lengthy public comment about parking, guest limits and neighborhood impacts.","taxTitle","Other Public Meetings, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma","taxId",69689,"location","Oklahoma","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6268575,"Board approves one rear-yard variance, continues two setback cases to May 1",745,665000,1410000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3055162-b3584580cb3a38aa89ce211e58edcb0d&start=665&end=1410","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3055162-b3584580cb3a38aa89ce211e58edcb0d/thumbnail_665000.jpg","/articles/6268575/Oklahoma/Board-approves-one-rear-yard-variance-continues-two-setback-cases-to-May-1","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6268575-9c8d2c664056d37ebf80904653e69017/orig.mp4?Expires=1770895749&Signature=A1d1Lq4Gg5THZUXtLV8bKZvkDedGwUXMh-3vz6sBhFB476BHiHxWZQyHJctSSyv3Za54MlPrx-k2n-kx0qUeHjpAMgK~570A-6~PLaJgGhbzaxqLkOfM1JfY5ukyEXm6N60ag9nswzx8fl8Ube2t5hEntZonTQDBMS3jR4kHaOU7tsMhTp93o-NwQsjxfgLrgbdSdNtLFJKesro-M8M9UXwE8ZKVT4BIXrPbCvG~7uKV1UcJwnRAESg-7bxFpxBT2FxuW0DyjgqjUKWyl~-ZoC7HLa~kBUHpQepNVKoxd9XkqLQAWSvlG3dV~6dV2nVwgfWMahyD5oHjYl9KkcbW5w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Oklahoma City Board of Adjustments on April 17 approved a rear-yard setback variance and deferred two other residential setback matters to allow additional plan-review or applicant follow-up.

In Case No. 15898, applicants Stephanie and Patrick Richardson requested a variance to the 25-foot rear-yard setback for a property in the RA single-family rural residential district at 8421 SW 109th Terrace. Patrick Richardson told the board the property is inside a private, gated homeowners association and said the HOA previously approved the pool plan; the applicant said he would provide HOA documentation on request. The board voted to approve the variance after finding it met the statutory requirements recorded in the staff recommendation. The motion passed; the transcript records the outcome as \"passes.\" The vote tally was not recorded in the transcript.

Two other cases were continued to the board's May 1 meeting. Case No. 15891 (an R-2 front-yard setback matter at 600 SW 27th Street, filed by Utrecht Construction on behalf of Banking Enterprises) was continued so staff could route the file to plan review and secure recommendations on how to resolve a building-line/utility easement discrepancy. Sarah Welch of the Planning Department advised that plan review should assess whether the encroachment raises building-code or stormwater/lot-coverage concerns and return a recommended remedy to the board. The transcript shows the closing on the house was being delayed until the issue is resolved.

Case No. 15853 (request by Victor Ortega on behalf of Tammy Blake and Jim Calhoun for a variance to accessory building regulations at 9401 NE 140th Street) was also continued at the applicant's request; no applicant was present and the board moved to continue the item to May 1.

Why it matters: the board emphasized consistent procedures for cases where as-built conditions differ from permit assumptions. For the front-yard encroachment (Case 15891) the board specifically directed staff to seek plan-review guidance so the board can consider a variance with technical recommendations from development services.

Next steps: applicants for the continued items were instructed to work with plan review and return with any documentation the department requests. For the approved rear-yard variance, applicants and staff will complete any administrative follow-up required by city permitting.","The Board of Adjustments approved a rear-yard setback variance for a private gated-lot at 8421 SW 109th Terrace (Case 15898) and continued two other residential setback items (Case 15891 and Case 15853) to the May 1 meeting for additional plan review and documentation.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6268580,"Board approves two Adventure District sign variances for Martin Luther King Avenue",82,506000,588000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3055162-b3584580cb3a38aa89ce211e58edcb0d&start=506&end=588","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3055162-b3584580cb3a38aa89ce211e58edcb0d/thumbnail_506000.jpg","/articles/6268580/Oklahoma/Board-approves-two-Adventure-District-sign-variances-for-Martin-Luther-King-Avenue","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6268580-8e2105f24b92a8fc2dd94418c8955591/orig.mp4?Expires=1770895749&Signature=NngwuzkXsLGRkvZzt5B~L4xWe2rpZc9-8Jn4GHwODa-~UuLy9wdz5eKk3ngw5puO0BbuoV3rlrdZ3FdFtEVJym3WcxjBnlQU~CqfF8BcO9ZeiZbXhXG-Jc1NOEP9tmeapwLp-lCxeFXtKfCc7vkSreaCQnzdlCQVa3PMmrJwAQuz7UtLoLe3kpt97dyfv~CfCtHJGjwAFmVSKvrDQBTqbdwTOj80fC0jIcmSdT542j88nJVpyqcMJXbbEIxicsXw0XHuC2vROFCLEmbIZBRGw4oggbZ8GAh4fpJeCDZR-lbGMPGPe96N4iSeaO7zYSwuuoUoVvAj1aJzHCEfBqjIYA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Oklahoma City Board of Adjustments on April 17 approved two variances to allow larger median signs for the OKC Adventure District along North Martin Luther King Avenue.

The board approved Case No. 15889, a request from Metro Signs for the Adventure District at 5425 N. Martin Luther King Ave., and Case No. 15890, a separate but identical request for placement at 5901 N. Martin Luther King Ave. Both motions passed after brief discussion and applicant remarks.

Why it matters: the Adventure District said it needs new, larger wayfinding signs to prepare for major events scheduled in coming years. Britney Hunter, executive director of the OKC Adventure District, told the board, \"Ultimately, we're trying to get ready for FIFA now and also the LA 28 Olympics. And, we just need new signs. Our signs are not pretty.\" She also said the proposed signs are “right at about twice as big as what was permitted.”

Board discussion and action: board members asked only a few procedural questions (location, size and placement in the center median) and noted that the proposal would replace existing median signage. One board member said the new sign size fits this corridor because recent city sign-code changes sometimes force smaller signs in areas where larger, single-purpose signs are more appropriate. Motions to approve each case were made, seconded and approved for both Case No. 15889 and Case No. 15890. The transcript records the outcome as \"passes\"; vote tallies and roll-call names were not specified.

What the approvals authorize: staff and the applicant said they plan to remove existing median signs and install the new designs; one installed sign had been damaged by wind and was being replaced. The approvals grant the variances to the sign-size and right-of-way prohibition provisions as requested in the two separate applications.

Next steps: applicants will proceed with permitting and installation per city permitting processes.

","The City of Oklahoma City Board of Adjustments approved two variances allowing larger median signs for the OKC Adventure District along Martin Luther King Avenue (cases 15889 and 15890). Applicants said the new signs are intended for upcoming major events including FIFA and the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.","actionData","errors"]
