Council approves rezoning for 30‑unit multifamily project at North 11th and Electric Avenue
Summary
The council voted to rezone about 2.9 acres from C‑2 to R‑3 after a unanimous (7–0) planning commission recommendation; the applicant plans roughly 30 single‑story apartment units and staff recommended approval as a compatible transition between commercial and residential zones.
The McAlester City Council approved a rezoning ordinance to change roughly 2.9 acres at the corner of North 11th Street and Electric Avenue from C‑2 commercial to R‑3 multifamily dwelling district, clearing the way for a planned 30‑unit apartment development.
Planning staff told the council the proposal had been considered by the Planning Commission on Sept. 16 and the commission voted unanimously (7–0) to recommend approval. Staff described the site as a reasonable transition between existing commercial uses to the south and R‑3/R‑2 residential areas to the north and south.
The applicant, who operates a similar successful single‑level apartment development in Krebs, proposed single‑story quad units. Staff recommended approval and the council voted to adopt the rezoning ordinance.
What happens next: The applicant will proceed with development permits and building‑permit submittals consistent with R‑3 standards.
