The City Planner reported that Precision Tree is requesting the rezoning of their property at 50 South Owasso Blvd. East from Industrial -Park (I -P) District to Planned Unit Development (PUD) District as well as a Property Division to subdivide the property into two lots, and a PUD Permit to allow outdoor storage on both lots. The Planner noted that the rezoning is being sought due to the difficulty that Precision Tree has had in making the conforming use of the parcel. Under the current I -P zoning, there are significant restrictions related to outdoor storage. The Planner pointed out that the surrounding area is zoned I -P District. With regard to the property division, the Planner indicated that Precision Tree would like to divide the property into two and construct a multi - tenant building on the new lot. This will create a building with more street frontage and the building will help screen the outdoor storage use from the street.
