The applicant is Dinner Out LLC, an affiliate of Lincoln Electric Products.

Greg Collins, special projects manager for the City of Bartlesville, told the commission the site was previously owned by Siemens and later occupied by Versa Integrity Group; the Bartlesville Development Authority sold the property in 2024 to Dinner Out LLC. Collins said utilities already serve the property — 12-inch water mains along Wiley Post Road and US-60, 6-inch lines on the north and east — and the city’s police and fire departments already respond to calls in the area. Because the territory is already served by city utilities, staff said the usual annexation cost-benefit analysis could be waived.

Staff recommended approval of annexation, zoning the parcel as M2 General Industrial PUD and amending the comp plan’s maps to place the site in the industry and trade character area and the miscellaneous context area. The planned-unit-development application asked for several modifications from base M2 standards, including relief to allow the existing three-story building’s height (approximately 53 feet), allowances for specific indoor commercial and office uses in the three-story building, M2 uses in the one-story building with several exclusions (for example, outdoor contractor yards, billboards, open storage), and use limitations for accessory buildings and landscaping/screening adjustments.

Ryan Williams of Ambler Architects spoke for the applicant and was present to answer questions. Commissioners asked about motivations for annexation; Collins responded that the landowner seeks to use the city’s fire-department plan review and inspections for interior remodeling and that Osage County or the state fire marshal typically has longer inspection timelines.

Public comment was opened and closed with no speakers on the record for this item. The commission then voted to approve annexation, the requested M2 PUD zoning as presented by staff, and a comp-plan amendment to incorporate the territory into the industry and trade context. Recorded votes in favor were: Mr. Hibdon (Aye); Miss Freeman (Aye); Mr. Cola (Aye); Mr. Munkers (Aye); Mr. Kirkpatrick (Aye); Mr. Dossett (Aye); and Chairman John Kane (Aye).

Collins told the commission that regardless of the Planning Commission’s recommendation, City Council will hold a public hearing (staff noted a City Council date of May 5) before final action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Bartlesville - Planning Commission - Apr 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved annexation of roughly 27 acres at 408 US Highway 60 (former Siemens building) to the city, rezoning it to M2 General Industrial PUD at the applicant’s request; staff recommended approval and said utilities and emergency services are already serving the site.","taxTitle","Bartlesville, Washington County, Oklahoma","taxId",62215,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6575583,"Bartlesville planning commission recommends keeping original comprehensive plan language, rejects committee amendments",658,465000,1123000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3089024-7e78f37b01749107d406cb5118f46883&start=465&end=1123","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3089024-7e78f37b01749107d406cb5118f46883/thumbnail_465000.jpg","/articles/6575583/Bartlesville/Washington-County/Oklahoma/Bartlesville-planning-commission-recommends-keeping-original-comprehensive-plan-language-rejects-committee-amendments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6575583-fe790bc4a43e2d78fc1a6725face1f34/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175983&Signature=VvsEMlIY0XrdBSY5BDDOjt9wpXyBu4s-RBAj1EKn~WIdACdna1cLlc-t2BOrHtnBcRRpFBePQ36CJS3zPaY89duJ3B7fHMEkVZBe9~r-WM5Lf37oKXrmD-6j8SjfcP6-0ckLEdCje7UJHKy7UjQmXK1-s48o34HNK~r-QugpV4wRtMyvrKHNghl70oNB4WqVa4skLUFAKUQCz1QSNm32ogMLVMNr3I2eslmb~mWiDV1q5P3Ed7KullfyfnbbHhQjkh8zJUe1vA4PaKp34YdZzC-YomBMfoJg8TfgdWrQYpvtuw4WBVyx9frTD4scDsGKcvI53G0ijdK~6YpJ1k4UVw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bartlesville Planning Commission voted unanimously April 20 to recommend City Council keep the original language of the city’s comprehensive plan, Endeavor 02/1945, and reject proposed amendments prepared by a five-person working group.

Greg Collins, special projects manager for the City of Bartlesville, summarized the outreach and committee process that led to the 2024 plan and described the ad hoc committee that later reviewed public concerns. Collins said the city’s updated comp plan was adopted by resolution on 11/04/2024 after roughly 12 months of public engagement, including five advisory-committee meetings, four open houses, three pop-up events and multiple Planning Commission and City Council workshops.

The recommendation matters because the comp plan functions as the city’s guiding policy for land-use decisions; the commission’s vote will be transmitted to City Council, which will make the final determination. Collins told commissioners that staff formed a working group — comprised of resident Sarah Burnett, Councilman Larry East, Councilman Trevor Dorsey and architect Dan Kelleher, with staff support from Larry Curtis, community development director, and Collins himself — to consider amendments raised after adoption.

In public comment, resident Dean Castellas urged the commission to respect the original CPAC process and language, framing his remarks in civic terms about leadership and followership. Castellas closed his remarks with a direct remark from his prepared remarks: “empty wagons rattle the loudest.” Resident Siobhan Robles likewise urged the commission “to reject all amendments and honor the integrity of Endeavor 02/1945 as it stands,” saying the original plan reflected extensive community engagement and that implementation, not revision, should be the focus.

Commission discussion focused on process and deference to the year-long outreach that produced the adopted plan. Several commissioners said they supported portions of the proposed edits but were reluctant to reopen the entire plan after broad community input. One commissioner said a perfect plan is unlikely and noted both support for and concerns with parts of the working-group redline; another said many pages raised questions that would require additional review.

After discussion, a motion to recommend that City Council retain the plan’s original language and reject the working group’s amendments passed on a voice/roll-call vote. Recorded votes in favor were: Mr. Dossett (Aye); Mr. Hibdon (Aye); Miss Freeman (Aye); Mr. Kolaw (Aye); Mr. Munkers (Aye); Mr. Kirkpatrick (Aye); and Chairman John Kane (Aye).

The commission chair and staff noted that, as a recommending body, the Planning Commission’s action will be forwarded to City Council for final action.","The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that City Council retain the original language of the city’s comprehensive plan (Endeavor 02/1945) and reject a small working group’s proposed amendments; public commenters urged the commission to honor the CPAC’s work.","actionData","errors"]
