C. Summary
The City of Oklahoma City received a petition from the Alliance to annex 2701 North
Gregory Road, an approximately 148.71-acre tract of land, currently situated within the
corporate boundaries of the City of Yukon, with the intent to accommodate future industrial
development.
The site is close to major roadways and Interstate 40. The site does not include
Environmentally Sensitive Areas as defined by planokc. The Petitioner will need to file a
petition for water service from the Canadian County Water Authority. The Canadian County
Water Authority claims the proposed annexation area is within its service area. The
Canadian County Water Authority claims the right to be the exclusive water service provider
under 7 U.S.C. §1926(b) for the proposed annexed area.
Large, vacant industrial/employment sites with these characteristics are rare in Oklahoma
City, and they are needed to provide employment opportunities and grow the local and
regional economy.
Based on the findings in this report, staff seeks a recommendation from the Committee to
proceed to Planning Commission with the annexation.
D. Economic Importance of Large Employment sites.
The City and the Alliance updated the Employment Land Needs Assessment and Action Plan
2012 (ELNAAP), in 2023 to assess the demand for large industrial and office sites and
identify actions needed to ensure the adequacy of these large sites in the future. According to
ELNAAP, primary jobs created on industrial land are critical to Oklahoma City’s economic
stability and future growth.
Despite Oklahoma City’s very large land area, the City and its partners have difficulty
recruiting large industrial companies due to a lack of suitable sites. Existing sprawling and
low-density residential development close to high value industrial areas creates potential
conflicts with existing/future businesses, results in smaller and more fragmented
development sites, and creates competition for land between residential and industrial
developers.
As a critical part of the City’s recruitment process, the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber
(Chamber) has determined through feedback from lost projects that companies are not
locating in Oklahoma City due to a lack of large building/site locations. According to the
Chamber, since 2020, Oklahoma City was considered as a location for nine different
businesses seeking sites of approximately 1000 acres or more, but Oklahoma City did not
have such a site ready and available. The ELNAAP also found that competing cities have
become more aggressive in their efforts to attract companies, necessitating a stronger, more
organized approach from the City.
Another crucial aspect of this large building/site location pertains to the creation of well-
paying jobs. According to the Chamber’s models, a sizable site like this one could
potentially generate between 1,700 to 5,000 jobs with an estimated average wage of $63,000
Page 2 of 13

The City of Oklahoma City
Ad Hoc Committee Item No. IV. [[!{{item.number}}!]].

per year. The Chamber’s estimates are derived from the following sources:
• The average of the Chamber’s manufacturing projects from 2021 shows an average wage
of $63,000 and approximately 8 jobs per acre.
• Current manufacturing facilities average between 4 and 7 jobs per acre.
• For reference, Amazon, which is distribution, not manufacturing, generates approximately
9 jobs per acre.
Chamber staff submit a conservative range for analysis is 2 to 6 jobs per acre. With an
average wage of $63,000 per year, the Chamber’s economic impact model calculates an
annual property and sales tax impact of $750 per employee. At 6 jobs per acre, the 149-acre
site would generate $670,500 per year in property tax and sales tax revenue for the City.
E. The Oklahoma City Economic Development Trust and the Oklahoma City Industrial and
Cultural Facilities Trust
The City Council of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma City Economic Development Trust
(OCEDT), and the Chamber recognize that to effectively compete in today’s global
marketplace requires very large development-ready sites. In December of 2023, the City
Council, OCEDT and OCICFT voted to approve funds for use to assemble economic
development sites consisting of approximately 1,000 acres development-ready land.
The property being requested for annexation is owned by OCICFT. The property will be
marketed as a potential location for Economic Development. It is anticipated that the
property would ultimately be used by new-to-market large-scale manufacturing or industrial
businesses. Infrastructure would be constructed and updated in conjunction with the
development of the property.

E. STATUS OF CITY IMPROVEMENTS, SERVICES AND EASEMENTS
Review of this annexation petition request was sought from Utilities regarding water and
sewer service, Public Works, and The City Surveyor.
a. Water and Sewer Utilities:
Public Water Supply
The property is in the Canadian County Water Authority (CCWA) service area. The petitioner will
need to file a petition for water service with the Canadian County Water Authority for water service.
The Canadian County Water Authority claims the proposed annexation area is within its service area.
The Canadian County Water Authority claims the right to be the exclusive water service provider
under 7 U.S.C. §1926(b) for the proposed annexed area. Neither the City nor Oklahoma City Water
Utilities Trust can participate in providing water to an area to which the exclusive right has been
granted by federal law. Neither the City nor the Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust may provide
water services unless the Petitioner gets a release from the Canadian County Water Authority and the
USDA.
Water associations such as the Canadian County Water Authority are not required by federal law to
provide water for fire protection. The City does not have a program for providing water or water
systems for fire protection where the City does not provide water for consumption.
The Oklahoma City water main serving C. E. Page Airport is at capacity and has no available capacity
to provide water to the proposed annexed area.

c. Emergency and Fire Service:
The site is currently served by the City of Yukon Fire Department. According to Oklahoma
City Fire Department (OCFD), the OCFD would be responsible for serving this site if it is
annexed into Oklahoma City. Future improvement to this site will have to meet Oklahoma
City’s development and fire protection standards. The site falls outside the Rural or Urban
response time for Emergency services. The closest current OKC Fire Stations are Fire
Station 38 at 14500 SW 59th Street, approximately 8.1 miles from the site, and Fire Station
33 at 11630 SW 15th Street, approximately 9.7 miles from the site. A new fire station was
approved in 2025 GO Bond 5 miles from the site in the vicinity of Reno Avenue and Frisco
Road. This new station will improve the response time to this site.

d. Street Typology and Capital Improvements:
Street Typology: At the site Gregory Road is an unimproved road. It is designated as a Minor
Arterial, the purpose of which is to provide regional connectivity and access to adjacent land
uses. Interstate 40 is designated as an “Interstate or State Highway”, functioning as a major
freight and commercial corridor for high-capacity through-traffic.
Area Improvements: Capital Improvement Projects from the City’s 2025 General Obligation
Bond are currently in the planning stage for the resurfacing of Gregory Road.

3. EVALUATION AND FINDINGS:
The City’s intentions are to ensure changes in municipal boundaries will tangibly benefit
Oklahoma City and its residents. City staff evaluated the considerations outlined in planokc
Chapters 1, stipulates the proposed annexation meets those considerations favorably:
A. In terms of economic development, this annexation request supports the implementation
of planokc’s Strengthen chapter, Initiative 1: Facilitate commercial and industrial
development to grow and diversify our economy:
We will create development-ready sites with access to infrastructure in strategic
areas. This meets the ELNAAP recommendation to maintain a constant inventory of
development-ready land (page 28).
B. City’s ability to provide services efficiently will be made easier or will not be impacted.
• If the Petitioner / site developer is able to bring services to this site, the level of service to
City customers will not be impacted. The Petitioner / site developer will be required to
meet the required demand and any increase in facilities at the same or better level of service
as the surrounding community.
• OCFD will serve the area and continue with the current Automatic Aid Agreement with
the City of Yukon.
• OCPD: Depending on how the property is used and what industry/business is put in place,
OCPD’s ability to provide services to Southwest Division should be minimally impacted
as well. However, if the location begins to generate a high volume of calls for police
response, this could have a negative impact on OCPD’s ability to respond to calls for
service in other areas of the Southwest Division.
C. Future development brought about by the change in municipal boundaries will not create adverse
impacts or untimely development pressure on Oklahoma City.
• The addition of this large employment site would bring City infrastructure to an area that
has not been able to develop due to the lack of infrastructure.
• The site is served on the north and south by existing arterial street North Gregory Road and
Interstate 40. It is anticipated that most traffic generated by this site will flow to and from
I-40. Industrial uses generate relatively low traffic levels.
• Staff will propose a Land Use Typology Area designation for this site with a
Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the Planning Commission, provided the annexation is
approved by City Council.
D. Proposed boundaries do not create irregular geographies with confusing service areas, rather they
follow significant features such as rights of way and/or topographic ridgelines (watersheds).
• The proposed boundaries for annexation will follow centerlines of North Gregory Road
Page 12 of 13
DRAFT STAFF REPORT FO PLANNING COMMISSON
The City of Oklahoma City
Ad Hoc Committee Item No. IV. [[!{{item.number}}!]].
February 20, 2026
and NW 23rd Street. The subject site is nearly squared, with an ODOT right-of-way parcel
at the northeast corner. The annexation would not create irregular geographies or service
boundaries.
E. Jurisdictional responsibility for maintaining streets and rights-of-way is clearly defined.
• There are no shared streets resulting from this annexation
F. Agreements are established with neighboring jurisdictions defining how development along a
shared street will be designed, reviewed, and approved.
• There are no shared streets resulting from this annexation.
4. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Based on these findings, staff seeks the Committee’s recommendation to proceed to the Planning
Commission with a final version of this report and a draft of the annexation ordinance.

February 20, 2026
2. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
A. planokc’s Guidance for Annexations and Detachments:
Intention for development of the area: The City of Oklahoma City is initiating the
request for detachment of the privately-owned Site in accordance with the terms of the
MOA. Upon detachment of the Site, the City of Oklahoma City will no longer have
jurisdiction or development authority over the site. Pursuant to the MOA, Yukon is
taking action to annex the Site upon detachment by Oklahoma City so that at no point in
time does the Site become unincorporated.
Changes in levels of service with change of municipal responsibility: The Site is
currently unimproved and undeveloped. The Site lies within an area served by City of
Oklahoma City water and within an open-shed area for sewer service. While the Site is
not served by EMBARK transit, it is included within the City’s long-range infrastructure
planning. A future Capital Improvement project is identified for the segment of Old
Highway 4 between South Yukon Parkway and NW 10th Street. The City will re-
evaluate this planned improvement and make decisions consistent with the terms of the
detachment ordinance and applicable law.
B. Potential Economic and Fiscal Impact:
Keeping the Site in Oklahoma City would likely mean low density residential
development that could be a net loss due to the cost of providing services without
additional revenue.
The proposed detachment would remove approximately $3,260 in annual ad valorem
revenue from the City’s property tax base, based on the current mill rate of 120.37.
However, the fiscal impact is minimal, and detachment may ultimately support more
efficient service delivery and reduce long-term obligations for the City. By detaching
the Site, the City will not be responsible for future infrastructure, public safety, and
maintenance costs which would likely exceed the modest ad valorem revenue.

4. EVALUATION AND FINDINGS:
The City’s intentions are to ensure changes in municipal boundaries will tangibly benefit
Oklahoma City and its residents. City staff evaluated the considerations outlined in planokc as
follows and stipulates the proposed detachment meets those considerations favorably:
A. Oklahoma City residents’ quality of life and levels of service will be maintained or
improved:
• Impacts on the City of Oklahoma City and its residents from the proposed detachment
are expected to be negligible.
B. The City’s ability to provide services efficiently will be made easier or will not be
impacted:
• The City’s Utilities and Public Works staff have identified no impact on the City’s ability
to provide services to this area resulting from this detachment.
C. Future development brought about by the change in municipal boundaries will not
create adverse impacts or untimely development pressure on Oklahoma City;
• The detachment of this approximately 24.76-acre site to the City of Yukon involves a
relatively small area, which inherently limits the scale and density of any future
development. Given its size and the surrounding context, the City of Oklahoma City does
not anticipate that development on this site will create significant impacts or generate
development pressure in the broader area.
D. Proposed boundaries do not create irregular geographies with confusing service areas,
rather they follow significant features such as rights of way and/or topographic
ridgelines(watersheds):
• The boundary for this detachment adheres to established parcel lines and do not
create irregularities in the right of way, ensuring clarity and coherence in service
areas without creating confusing or irregular geographies.
E. Jurisdictional responsibility for maintaining streets and rights-of-way is clearly defined:
• There are no shared streets resulting from this detachment.
F. Agreements are established with neighboring jurisdictions defining how development
along a shared street will be designed, reviewed and approved:
• There are no shared streets resulting from this detachment.
5. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Based on these findings, staff seeks the Committee’s recommendation to proceed to the Planning
Commission with a final version of this report and a draft of the detachment ordinance.
