The commission approved the consent agenda (minutes, a case to be continued and a final plat) by a 4-0 vote.

SP24: Chase Bank (Northeast corner of Covell and Conference Drive)
Staff presented SP24, a site plan for a 3,400-square-foot Chase Bank on roughly 1.4 acres at the northeast corner of Covell and Conference Drive. The building was described as up to 35 feet tall with a stone and fiber-cement façade; staff recommended approval. Matt Craig of Cumulus Design said he was present to answer questions. With no public comment, the commission approved the site plan 4-0.

SP25: Whole Foods (northeast of Covell and Sooner)
Staff presented a site plan for a retail center on about 7 acres to be developed as three buildings (10,000 sq ft; 12,400 sq ft; and 35,500 sq ft), with five access points and a requested variance to reduce driveway separation on Conference Drive from the required 150 feet to approximately 115 feet to maintain alignment with an existing driveway across the street. Staff recommended approval, including the driveway-separation variance. Stephen Cooksey of Kimley-Horn said he would answer questions. With no public comment, the commission approved the site plan 4-0; the item will be heard by City Council on Sept. 8.

Votes recorded at the meeting that will be heard by City Council on Sept. 8 include the Whole Foods site plan and the previously described rezoning items Z20-57 and Z25-003. Other approved items with no public opposition were cleared at the planning-commission level.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Edmond - Planning Commission Aug 19, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved two commercial site plans and cleared consent items.

The proposed PUD divides the site into two tracks. Track 1, at the arterial intersection, would allow commercial and civic uses such as retail, restaurants, medical offices and childcare and is listed for up to three stories. Track 2, about 14 acres, would allow moderate residential uses including duplexes with a maximum height of 35 feet. The PUD statement includes a sizeable tree-preservation buffer along the eastern edge adjacent to an existing single-family development.

Ken, a planning staff member, said the city’s comprehensive plan classifies the parcel as S-2 suburban neighborhood, a designation the staff said supports the mixed-use approach after careful review. Staff recommended approval of the rezoning.

Jessica Bloy of Johnson and Associates, representing the applicant, told commissioners the project team intends to preserve as many existing trees as practical and that tree preservation and landscaping requirements are written into the PUD. \"We will preserve as many as we can for the development,\" Bloy said.

Nearby residents raised traffic and roadway concerns. Ryan Walker of 6224 Hole Oak Road said traffic on Air Depot had increased and asked whether the road could safely absorb more traffic. Mark Livingston of 6602 Cypress Hollow expressed concern about Danforth Road’s condition after heavy truck traffic during a water-treatment-plant project and urged the city to address the roadway as development continues.

City staff said the project was not required to submit a traffic study at this phase because residential uses were considered low traffic generators, but staff noted that the applicant dedicated right-of-way needed for future improvements. Keith, a city staff member, said consultants are examining drainage issues on Danforth and that field services plans to work under a city-county agreement to rebuild the existing two-lane road rather than widen it.

During roll call, Commissioners Chapman, Hoose and Winter voted in favor; Commissioner Gauthier voted against the motion. The item will be scheduled for a City Council hearing on Sept. 8.","The planning commission voted 3-1 to send rezoning Z25-003, a proposed mixed-use PUD at Danforth Road and Air Depot Boulevard, to City Council.

The proposed planned unit development (PUD) would allow residential uses including townhomes and garden-style apartments. The PUD design statement sets a maximum of 204 townhomes or 306 apartment units, with maximum heights of 35 feet for townhomes and 45 feet for apartment buildings. The applicant presented an illustrative plan showing 12 apartment buildings totaling roughly 288 units (about 216 one-bedroom units and about 72 two-bedroom units). Staff recommended approval of the rezoning.

The PUD site is immediately northeast of Edmond North High School and across from Thomas Trails and John Ross Elementary School. Ken, a planning staff member, told commissioners the city’s comprehensive plan classifies the parcel as “suburban infill,” a designation that supports a range of housing types. Kendall Dillon, representing the applicant, said the project would follow the city’s commercial landscaping criteria and provide a 10-foot landscape buffer along Thomas Drive.

A commissioner asked about traffic and whether a traffic study had been completed. Dillon said the study was completed in March and that the analysis showed intersections would operate at an acceptable level of service. A commissioner raised pedestrian-safety questions for schoolchildren walking across Thomas Drive; Dillon said the applicant will work with staff and the school on pedestrian access and crossings.

David Lambeth, one of the applicants, told commissioners the developer prioritized addressing zoning at this stage and planned to present detailed renderings before site-plan review. He said market conditions make townhomes the currently viable product but that the PUD allows either product type.

During public comment, Mark Livingston of 6602 Cypress Hollow asked that Danforth Road and turning lanes be studied because of existing backups. Staff said the traffic study addressed the site intersections and that further pedestrian-access work would be coordinated with schools.

Commissioners voted to forward Z20-57 to City Council. The item is scheduled for a City Council hearing on Sept. 8.","The Edmond Planning Commission voted 4-0 to forward a rezoning application for roughly 17 acres on Thomas Drive to City Council.
