Pryor council approves two zoning changes after public hearings for commercial and multifamily projects
Summary
After public hearings, the council approved rezoning of a west‑side parcel to Commercial Automotive Recreation for TC4 Grama Street LLC and changed an agricultural parcel north of the animal shelter to residential‑multifamily for Limestone Construction LLC, which plans a phased 264‑unit apartment complex with retention ponds and infrastructure coordination.
The Pryor City Council approved two zoning map amendments following public hearings: a west‑side parcel requested by TC4 Grama Street LLC will be rezoned from agricultural to Commercial Automotive Recreation, and a parcel north of the animal shelter owned by Limestone Construction LLC will be rezoned from agricultural to residential multifamily (RN) to permit a phased apartment project.
On the TC4 application, planning and zoning recommended the change after two nearby residents raised concerns about drainage, setbacks and potential headlight glare at the planning meeting. The applicant’s representative (Aaron Poe) and city staff said those concerns were addressed through standard code requirements, including water detention and lot‑coverage limits; council approved the rezoning vote after discussion.
For the Limestone Construction application, developer Lonnie said the project would be phased, with a clubhouse and two buildings built first and three more later, totaling about 264 units in five buildings. The developer described an on‑site retention pond design and said MUB (municipal utilities board) had been consulted; council noted the proposal aligns with the comprehensive plan for growth along the Highway 69 corridor and approved the rezoning.
Both approvals were vote decisions of the council; staff noted that site plans, drainage and building permits will follow the zoning decision and must meet standard code, permitting and detention requirements before construction begins.
Next steps: Applicants must submit formal site plans, drainage reports and permit applications for review by city staff and code enforcement; council will receive updates as those applications progress.
