MINUTES Planning Commission September 8, 1988 Multiple Rezonings The City Planner reviewed his report dated September 1, 1988 on the multiple rezonings which have been initiated by Council action. The Planner reported that in considering the Country Drive relocation issue, the City Council raised concerns about the area adjacent to Country Drive and how development of these areas would effect Country Drive. Therefore, the Planner was asked to review the area and make a recommendation for the rezoning of the northwest area of the City from property on South Owasso to the north boundary of the City. The Planner then began a review of the proposed rezonings. The Planner reported that there is a small area of the City, primarily the Kath Bros. property, which he is proposing be rezoned to B -2 since that zoning better fits the use to which the property is being made. DeLonais asked if retail car sales would be allowed under the 8-2 zoning. The Planner replied that retail car sales would be allowed in both the B -2 and B -3 zones by conditional use permit. Davison asked if the present development in the proposed B -2 zoning would be considered non - conforming or would be allowed to expand. The Planner reported that present development would be conforming under the B -2 zone and the zoning actually better fits the development existing. The Planner pointed out that most of Rice Street is being proposed as B -3 zoning, General Business District. The Planner stated that in his opinion the B -3 zoning of Rice Street is more appropriate for the business climate along that street. DeLonais asked why IP was being proposed south of Owasso Blvd. The Planner reported that that property is presently zoned I -1 and there has been some interest in Mid -West Spring expanding. Given this fact, the Planner felt that IP was more appropriate than the present I -1 zoning. Lawrence Nadeau asked if he could request that his property be rezoned to B -3. The Planner reported that the various property owners should make their feelings known to the Planning Commission as well as the City Council. The Planner pointed out that he did not consult with the various property owners when making his recommendation. The Planner pointed out that he is proposing BW, Business Warehouse, zoning for the Knox and Levitz properties because that zoning fits the use to which the property is currently being made. DeLonais asked the proposal for the property adjacent to the Water Works. The Planner is proposing IP zoning next to the Water Works. Page 6
