The Enid Metropolitan Area Planning Commission (MAPC) meeting on September 29, 2026, approved the August minutes and updated public-hearing procedures unanimously. It also unanimously approved a use-by-review application for an accessory dwelling unit at 601 Oakdale Drive and recommended rezoning a school district property at 405 West Indiana Avenue from R4 to SU for City Commission ratification. No procurement awards, purchases, or contract approvals were identified. The commission considered an amendment to Enid’s comprehensive plan to update future industrial land-use designations; the motion to recommend approval failed because it did not receive the six affirmative votes required, despite receiving a majority of votes cast.

The main discussion concerned Project Thunderbird, proposed by Plansman Holdings LLC, which seeks rezoning for a large data-center and power-generation development. The applicant described a proposed 1,735-acre project with 2.75 gigawatts of data-center capacity and a 3.3-gigawatt natural-gas power plant, and estimated water use of about 1.54 million gallons per day, with a proposed contract limit of 2 million gallons per day. The applicant emphasized that rezoning would not authorize construction and that later intensive-use reviews, studies, permits, and separate approvals would be required. Commissioners heard extensive public comments both opposing and supporting the project, including concerns about water, power, emissions, agriculture, traffic, nearby homes and schools, and community benefits. The West Campus I3 rezoning recommendation passed 6–2, as did the separate West Campus I2 request for utility-related uses; the North Campus I3 action’s vote outcome is not clear in the transcript.
