The Coweta City Council on Aug. 4 adopted Ordinance 906 to rezone a roughly 160‑acre tract known as the Hughes property from Agriculture (AG) to Residential Single-Family (RS‑3) and approved Ordinance 907 to apply a Planned Unit Development overlay (PUD-R 25-01) for proposed residential development.

Community Development Director Carolyn Back and a consultant from Tanner Consulting presented the rezone and PUD materials during a public hearing. Public commenters — Anthony English, Dede English and Everett Crawford — raised concerns about the proposed number of homes, drainage, emergency response, property taxes and traffic congestion. Tanner Consulting said a large portion of the property was reserved for drainage, estimated roughly 679 homes on 160 acres and described about 4.24 dwelling units per gross acre; the plan also included a roughly half‑mile linear park. Back said the first phase of the PUD would take about three years from approval.

Mayor Naomi Hogue and staff reminded attendees that the public hearing was focused on rezoning; Chief Brian Woodward said the city’s auto‑aid agreement with Broken Arrow and mutual‑aid arrangements would apply to the area. Back added that the city’s subdivision regulations and coordination between Public Works and the County would address traffic and maintenance issues and that the city could request railroad assistance as warranted.

Council votes on both ordinances passed with three yes votes and one no: Councilmember Lauren Givan voted nay on both Ordinance 906 (rezoning) and Ordinance 907 (PUD overlay); Naomi Hogue, Jeremy Barnett and Joshua Wilburn voted to approve each ordinance and their emergency clauses. Council discussion noted timelines for infrastructure and a staged approach to development but did not adopt additional conditions at the meeting.

The PUD approval and rezoning set the zoning framework for the planned residential subdivision; required development plans, infrastructure agreements and permits remain to be reviewed and approved by staff and council as the project advances.
