BACKGROUND: This ordinance will designate the parking requirements for stadiums, sports fields and arenas. The Lawton Public Schools proposed new sports locker rooms to be built at their high school locations. The total parking requirements could not be calculated because these uses were not listed in code. This went before the City Planning Commission for discussion and determination of the parking demand. CPC determined the parking allowance for these public and private school facilities and should be considered accessory uses. The parking should already be satisfied with the school parking.
CPC held a discussion on this item on June 15, 2023, June 29, 2023, and September 28, 2023.
CPC held a public hearing on October 26, 2023, and made the recommendation to approve the Ordinance.
Notice was posted in the Lawton Constitution on June 27, 2023.
This Ordinance follows the True North Culture Statement in that the City is doing everything for the citizens to be better for the community.
