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.

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.
