BACKGROUND: This is an administrative request for a change of zoning of Tract 1 and Tract 2 from A-1 General Agriculture District to I-4 Heavy Industrial District zoning classification; a change of zoning of Tract 3 from Temporary I-4 Heavy Industrial District to I-4 Heavy Industrial District zoning classification; and a Use Permitted on Review to allow a trash and garbage disposal plant/junkyard or salvage yard upon Tracts 1, 2 and 3. The three tracts are more particularly described below and depicted on the location map.
Tract 1 was annexed into the City of Lawton in 1981, Tract 2 in 2002, and Tract 3 in 2024.
Per City Code Section 18-6-17-681, disposal plants of all types, including trash and garbage/junkyard or salvage yard of any kind are not uses that are outright allowed within an I-4, Heavy Industrial District, but are allowed as Uses Permitted on Review. Therefore, this agenda item is to also approve a Use Permitted on Review upon Tracts 1, 2 and 3.
The Notice of Public Hearing was mailed to 9 owners of property within 300 feet of the requested area on December 16, 2024, and proper notice was published in The Lawton Constitution on December 22, 2024.
The City Planning Commission held a public hearing on January 16, 2025 and recommended, 8-0, approval of an ordinance, requested administratively, to change the zoning and approval of the Use Permitted on Review for property located at 8902 SW 11th Street, aka the City’s landfill.
