Outdoor storage condition dispute on East Tulsa industrial site

Summary

City council stripped outdoor equipment and materials storage from a rezoning two years ago, and now the property owner wants it back to support a heat-exchanger manufacturer planning 400 jobs. Staff says it's a major deviation; the commission split 3-2 to send it forward, with the final call going to council.
