West Campus Rezoning Ordinance: A to I-3

Passed

Oct. 27, 2026, by a 6-1 vote

Zoning change

“A” Agriculture to “I-3” Industrial (Heavy)

Property

Parcel 0000-16-22N-06W-3-100-00, 159 acres

Five-year review

Returns to the City Commission if construction hasn’t substantially started

What the ordinance does

The ordinance changes the zoning of the West Campus, western quarter property from “A” Agriculture to “I-3” Industrial (Heavy) District and updates the City of Enid Zoning Map to match. Section I gives the property’s legal description.

It also includes the standard closing sections. These repeal any conflicting ordinances, keep pending cases and existing rights intact, and let the rest of the ordinance stand if any part is found invalid.

The five-year review

If the planned development hasn’t substantially started within five years of the ordinance taking effect, City staff must bring the property’s zoning back to the City Commission. The Commission then considers whether to begin returning the property to “A” Agriculture.

Only physical construction counts as a start. Engineering, surveying, planning, permits and site investigations don’t. The zoning doesn’t change on its own when the five years end, and any later change needs public notice and a hearing.
