BOCC approves rezoning in Claremore to allow electrical business despite broad public opposition
Summary
The BOCC approved rezoning Case #2657 at 13665 E. Hwy 20 from AR and RS-10 to C-4 for an electrical business; the public hearing drew 12 speakers opposed and two in favor before a unanimous approval by commissioners.
Rogers County commissioners on Jan. 12 approved a rezoning (Case #2657) that will reclassify property at 13665 E. Hwy 20, Claremore, from AR and RS-10 to C-4 (Commercial Central Service District) to allow an electrical business. Planning staff presented the case and the Planning Commission had recommended approval 6-0. The public hearing record lists 12 speakers who opposed the rezoning and two who supported it; the BOCC closed the hearing at 10:02 a.m. and approved the rezoning by unanimous roll-call vote.
Applicant Joe Duvall sought the commercial classification to permit an electrical business; the minutes record substantial public opposition from nearby residents raising concerns during the hearing. Commissioners did not record any conditions beyond the normal county requirements attached to rezoning approvals; the applicant may now pursue development permits consistent with the C-4 classification.
