Guymon board recommends rezoning 301 South Quinn from I-1 to R-2

The Guymon Planning and Zoning Board voted to recommend rezoning Lot 12, Block 46 (identified in the transcript as 301 South Quinn) from I-1 (industrial) to R-2 (residential).

Staff presented the application and answered questions about notice and context; the transcript records that roughly 45 letters were sent to nearby property owners as part of the notification process. Board members and staff discussed the city's future land use map, noting it is a guidance document and not legally binding; one board member said parts of that map date back to the 1990s and do not reflect current on-the-ground uses. The board observed that the block is zoned industrial on paper but is in practice being used residentially.

During discussion a board member summarized the compatibility concern: "it's not significantly different from the residential that's already zoned across the street," and other members said the location functions as a transitional zone between highway-commercial and residential areas. After discussion, a motion to recommend the rezone was moved and seconded and the board recorded affirmative votes; the transcript records the motion carried.

Next steps: the board's recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for final action; the transcript does not record a council decision at this meeting.
