Vinita council approves rezoning for 170‑acre industrial park and annexes Sale Barn property, adopting emergency clauses
Summary
The council approved Ordinance 3,890 rezoning 170 acres from R‑1 to I‑2 (Industrial Park Phase 2) and adopted its emergency clause, and approved Ordinance 3,891 to annex the Sale Barn property and zone it C‑3, also adopting an emergency clause; both passed by voice vote.
Vinita’s city council approved two ordinances at its May 5, 2026 meeting: a rezoning for Phase 2 of the city’s industrial park and the annexation and commercial zoning of the Sale Barn property.
On Ordinance 3,890, council members approved changing the zoning classification from R‑1 (residential) to I‑2 (industrial) for a roughly 170‑acre area identified as Industrial Park Phase 2. Mr. Olson briefed the council and noted that the item had previously been considered; the motion to adopt the ordinance passed on a voice vote. Council then voted separately to adopt the ordinance’s emergency clause to make it effective immediately; the emergency clause was approved by voice vote.
Council also considered Ordinance 3,891 to annex the Sale Barn property and zone it C‑3 (general commercial). Mr. Olson noted a corrected exhibit in the packet that reflected the requested C‑3 zoning; the council moved, seconded and approved the ordinance and then approved the ordinance’s emergency clause by voice vote.
The ordinances were adopted by voice votes recorded as "Aye" with no opposing votes called during the meeting. The council did not record a roll‑call tally on the audio transcript; specific vote counts were not provided in the meeting record presented to the council.
