Owasso -
The Owasso City Council voted Tuesday night to approve the rezoning of an area from agriculture to commercial.
This decision allows Sam's Club to build a store in the northwest corner of 96th Street North and 129th East Avenue.
According to Owasso Mayor Doug Bonebrake, the measure passed three-to-two in favor.
Some residents of the Windsor Lake Edition neighborhood were at Tuesday night's meeting to speak out against the re-zoning.
An attorney present suggested re-zoning from agriculture to a planned unit development, but Sam's Club representatives believed that would have placed restrictions on them that wouldn't have allowed them to develop the store in the way they intended.
It is unclear when construction will begin.
