I don't know much about these kinds of documents, so I'm tossing this into the forum for those with more experience.  Owasso is developing a corridor overlay along both sides of US169 from 86th Street to 116th, and it includes language like this:

5. The following By-Right and Specific Use Permit uses shall be prohibited in the US-169 North Overlay District.
• Industrial Uses in the IH and IM District
• Any new agricultural uses or businesses
• Chick hatchery
• Halfway house
• Landfill
• Bindery
• Juvenile Delinquency Center
• Pre-Release Center
• Animal and Poultry Raising
• Power Plant
• Sexually-oriented businesses
• Bottled Gas Sales
• Outdoor Kennels (not a part of veterinary or grooming business)
• Taxidermist
• Cemetery
• Oil Well Drilling and Cleaning Establishment
• Fuel oil sales
• Race tracks (auto dog, horse)
• Mini-storage warehouses
• Truck stop
• Shooting range (outdoor)
• Drag strip
• Outdoor storage of any kind as the principal use
• Portable building sales

6. The following uses shall be permitted with the issuance of a Specific Use Permit, subject to compliance with the provisions of this section.
• Auctioneer
• Auto wash
• Agricultural implement sales
• Appliance store and repair
• Woodworking shop
• Aircraft sales
• Boat and Recreational Vehicle sales
• Fence construction company
• Golf Driving range
• Truck rentals
• Monument sales
• Camper Sales
• Disinfecting Services
• Lumber yard
• Cabinet Maker
• Plastic material sales
• Construction equipment sales
• Go-kart track
• Auto Sales (5 Acre Maximum Parcel Size)
• Auto Rental
• Motor vehicle repair
• Retail greenhouse
• Janitorial service Vending sales and service
• Exterminating services
• Bus station
• Any retail use with primarily outdoor sales
• Park and ride lots
• Motorcycle Sales


The full document is at: http://www.cityofowasso.com/community_development/US169_Corridor_Overlay_District.pdf

Now, as I said, I don't know much about these documents, but I think this would rule out my idea for a Japanese sushi/massage/porn shop.  There are some truly amazing uses for octupi.  Just sayin'.

Seriously, though, this overlay covers parking, architecture and much, much more.  Is that typical?  Could someone give this a cursory read?

I don't know anything about it, but I DID grow up in Owasso from the mid 1980's to mid 1990's, and I think they've finally realized something that I noticed the entire time I lived there, and especially now when I go back - the face of Owasso is the Highway 169 corridor, and it is UGLY.   Maybe they're trying to do something about that.

Are you going to use the name Octupi Owasso?

Michael, I truly wish I'd thought of that!  And you have to know that I'll steal it and use it.
