Planning Commission to Consider Short Term Rental Application, Rezoning Request
Residents cite safety issues and property value impacts for short term rental application; Commission also set to consider new subdivision plat and rezoning request
Stillwater Planning Commission
The Stillwater Planning Commission is set to review multiple development proposals at its Feb. 25 meeting, including a controversial short-term rental application and a new residential subdivision.
Driving the meeting: A short-term rental application for 5313 W. Country Club Drive has drawn objections from nearby residents concerned about neighborhood safety and property values.
- In their letters to the Commission, Tina Fugate and Kent Dieball, who live across the street, wrote that short-term rentals could lead to increased noise, safety issues and disruptions from transient guests unfamiliar with the quiet, family-friendly area. They claim the owners have already been renting out the home for months before applying.
🏘️ New housing developments: KMR Development, LLC is seeking approval for a final plat creating 12 new residential lots in Park View Estates Section 10, Phase 1.
📍 Rezoning request: Lambert Properties and CSCM Properties are requesting to rezone properties near Oklahoma State University from Two-Family Residential to Two-Family & Multi-Family.
- Rezoning 814 & 822 N. Lincoln St. would allow for increased residential density in the area.

Regulatory changes: The Development Services Department has proposed amending subdivision regulations to allow non-consecutive lot numbering in final plats under certain circumstances.
- The amendment aims to provide flexibility for large, phased developments while maintaining a preference for consecutive numbering in routine subdivisions.
What's next: The Planning Commission will review and make recommendations on these proposals to the City Council. The meeting begins at 5:30 p.m., Feb. 25 in Room 1122 at 723 S. Lewis St.
