[A. Case #Z23-00004 Public Hearing and Consideration for a Rezoning from “D-1” PUD Restricted Commercial Planned Unit Development to “CBD” Central Business District for the property located at 501 N. Broadway. (Yay on Broadway) (Ward 1) ]
BRINGS US TO THE PUBLIC HEARING DISCUSSION DOCKET.UH, THE FIRST ITEM IS CASE NUMBER Z 23 DASH 0 0 0 4 PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION FOR A REZONING FROM D ONE P U D RESTRICTED COMMERCIAL PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENT TO C B D CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5 0 1 NORTH BROADWAY.
YAY, ON BROADWAY IS THE APPLICANT.
THE APPLICANT IS PRESENT MR. ENDS.
UH, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO REZONE THE PROPERTY ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THATCHER ON BROADWAY FROM, UH, D ONE P U D TO THE C B D CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT.
UH, THE SITE IS IN THE CENTRAL EDMOND URBAN DISTRICT AND ADJACENT TO OTHER CBD ZONE PROPERTIES TO THE SOUTH.
UH, THE IMPETUS FOR THE REZONING IS TO ALLOW THE OPERATOR TO HAVE AN EVENT CENTER USE, WHICH IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE D ONE DISTRICT.
UH, THE BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED AS AN OFFICE SPACE, UH, IN THE 1990S AND THE SITE HAS 19 PARKING, PARKING SPACES AND AN ENTRY ONTO THATCHER AND ONTO BROADWAY.
UH, PROPERTIES TO THE WEST AND NORTH ARE ZONED A SINGLE FAMILY AND DEVELOPED WITH HOMES.
UH, THE AFGHAN HAS LETTERS FROM THE SURROUNDING OWNERS REQUESTING THAT A SITE PROOF FENCE NOT BE PROVIDED INSTEAD, UH, LEAVING THE EXISTING TREES AND LANDSCAPING AS THE SCREEN.
UH, THE AFRICAN HAS ALSO MET WITH SOLID WASTE ON SITE AND ARE CURRENTLY WORKING OUT AT DUMPSTER LOCATION FOR THE BUILDING.
UH, THE EDMOND PLAIN DESIGNATES THE AREA'S URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH HAS C B D IN THE YELLOW CATEGORY, MEANING IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED WITH SOME CARE.
UH, IN THIS CASE, THE SITE ALREADY ALLOWS LIMITED RETAIL USE AND THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR THE PROPERTIES FACING THATCHER TO INTENSIFY OVER TIME, UH, THE CENTRAL EDMOND URBAN DISTRICT BOARD REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AT THEIR APRIL 11TH MEETING, AS DOES STAFF.
UH, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THE CITY STAFF BY MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
HEY, RANDY, WITH THE, YOU KNOW, THE BEING IN THE CENTRAL URBAN EBON DISTRICT IS THERE, IS THERE, I MEAN, I KNOW THAT MAKES A SEVERE LIMITATION ON THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPOTS, BUT WITH THE USE BEING AN EVENT CENTER, DO WE HAVE A TRUE MINIMUM WITH, SINCE IT'S IN THAT AREA, DOES THAT BLUR THAT LINE? I ASSUME IT, IT BLURS THAT LINE A LOT.
THERE'S NO, UH, SPECIFIC PARKING REQUIREMENT CALLED OUT FOR AN EVENT CENTER IN THE URBAN DISTRICT.
SO WE'VE KIND OF USED JUST THE GENERIC, UH, WHICH THEY MEET.
UH, BUT I WILL IMAGINE THERE WILL BE TIMES WHEN THERE'S GONNA BE PARKING ON THATCHER.
I KNOW WHEN IT APPEARED BEFORE THE C B D, UH, THAT AT THAT POINT IN TIME THERE WAS A NOTATION THE FENCE WOULD BE REQUIRED.
WE HAVE TWO LETTERS, I BELIEVE FROM HOMEOWNERS IN REFERENCE TO THAT, BUT IT APPEARS THAT THERE'S MULTIPLE PIECES OF PROPERTY ABUTTING.
SO WHAT'S THE CITY'S POSITION FROM ENGINEERING IN REGARD TO THAT REQUIREMENT? SO, AND THIS IS KIND OF AN ODD CASE BECAUSE THE BUILDING'S ALREADY EXISTING, UH, AND THERE'S, THIS ISN'T A SITE PLAN, WHICH IS THE POINT IN TIME WHEN THE FENCING REQUIREMENT WOULD COME INTO PLAY.
UH, WE AGREE WITH THE ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS THAT IT WOULD SEEM SILLY TO REMOVE THE EXISTING TREES AND LANDSCAPING, WHICH PROVIDE A SCREEN TO THEN JUST PUT UP A SITE PROOF FENCE.
SO, UH, WE ARE NOT GONNA, LIKE, THERE'S NO REAL TRIGGER FOR US TO GO AND IMPLEMENT THE FENCING.
NOW, THE SOLID WASTE CONTAINER IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT STORY BECAUSE, UH, COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE SOME SORT OF DUMPSTER.
[00:05:01]
RESIDENTIAL ROLL CART THAT'S NOT ALLOWED.UH, SO THAT'S WHY THEY'VE BEEN ASKED TO WORK WITH SOLID WASTE TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION FOR THAT.
AND I'M, I'M SORRY, I DO HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION.
WITH THE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SPACE FOR THIS BEING AN EVENT CENTER.
THERE APPEARS TO BE, THERE'S SPACE ALSO TO HAVE SOME OUTDOOR EVENT OR A CONTINUATION OF THAT.
HOW DOES THAT AFFECT THE DECISION IF THE HOMEOWNERS COME BACK AFTER AND GO, WE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS OUTDOORS.
IS THERE SPECIAL PERMITTING THAT'S GONNA HAVE THAT OR IS THIS GONNA BE ALLOWABLE WITH WHAT THEY'RE REQUESTING TODAY? THE ZONING SIDE, THAT WOULD BE ALLOWABLE.
UH, IF THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT ARISES IN THE FUTURE, WE COULD WORK THAT THROUGH OUR CODE ENFORCE ENFORCEMENT TO GET A FENCE PUT UP AT THAT TIME.
SO THE, THE, SINCE IT'S NOT WORKED OUT WHERE THE, UH, GRO OR THE GARBAGE WILL GO, SO DOES YOU HAVE TO COME BACK WITH THE SITE PLAN TO US PRIOR TO FOR THAT? IT'S NOT A BIG ENOUGH CHANGE ON SITE TO REQUIRE TO MEET THE SITE PLAN REQUIREMENTS THAT WOULD HAVE THEM SUBMIT ONE, BUT SHE IS WORKING, YOU CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.
SHE'S WORKING DIRECTLY WITH SOLID WAYS TO FIND THE BEST LOCATION ON THE SITE FOR THEM.
UH, WITH THE APPLICANT CARE TO ADD ANYTHING FURTHER AT THIS POINT IN TIME OR DO YOU WANT TO RELY UPON MR. S'S PRESENTATION
I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD.
WELL, I WAS INSPIRED BY IT AS WELL.
SO
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS BY MEMBER OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION? IF NOT, DO WE HAVE A MOTION? OBJECTION, APPROVE.
AND THAT IS APPROVED BY VOTE OF FOUR ZERO.
THAT WILL BE BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL ON MAY THE 22ND.
[B. Case #SP23-00006 Public Hearing and Consideration of a Site Plan application for the Splash Pad at Ted Anderson Park, located at 2401 S Rankin. (City of Edmond) (Ward 3)]
BRINGS US TO CASE NUMBER S P 23 0 0 0 6 PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF A SITE PLAN APPLICATION FOR THE SPLASH PAD AT HEAD ANDERSON PARK.UH, THE CITY OF EDMOND IS THE APPLICANT AND WE ARE PRESENT NOW REAL QUICK, UH, I'LL LET RYAN DO THE LONG EXPLANATION.
UH, AS YOU SAID, IT'S A SITE PLAN APPLICATION BY THE CITY FOR A SPLASH PAD AT 10 TED ANDERSON PARK, LOCATED ON RINCON JUST NORTH OF 29TH STREET.
UH, THE SITE PLAN INCLUDES THE SPLA SPLASH PAD AND SOME PUBLIC RESTROOMS SOUTHWEST OF THE EXISTING PARKING LOT.
UH, THERE ARE NINE PARKING SPOTS EXISTING, UH, ENDEARING PEAK USE, WHICH WOULD BE IN SUMMER.
THE SCHOOL PARKING IS ALSO AVAILABLE TO THE SOUTH AS WELL AS THE CHURCH BACK TO THE, UH, WEST.
UH, THE EXISTING PARK PLAY EQUIPMENT WILL REMAIN, UH, THE SPLASH PAD AT BARNETT FIELD AS YOU SURE YOU KNOW, IS VERY POPULAR.
AND THE PARKS MASTER PLAN HAS ANTICIPATED OTHERS THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.
DO ANY MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF CITY STAFF AT THIS POINT IN TIME? SCENE NONE, RYAN.
COMMISSIONER RYAN OXNER, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY QUALITY FOR THE CITY OF EDMOND.
AND THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE PROJECTS I'VE WORKED ON.
SO IF I COULD TAKE A FEW MINUTES OF YOUR TIME PLEASE.
I WOULD JUST WANT TO RECAP THE PROJECT AND, UH, TOUCH US ON SOME OF THE HIGH POINTS OF IT.
SO I'VE GOT A FEW SLIDES JUST TO ILLUSTRATE SOME THINGS I'LL MENTION.
IN, UH, 2016, THE VOTERS OF EDMOND APPROVED A HALF CENT SALES TAX.
AND ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT THEY EXPRESSED, UH, THROUGH THAT VOTE THAT THEY WANTED TO SEE IS INCREASED SPLASH PAD FACILITIES.
UM, SO HERE AS WE BEGIN TO LOOK AT WHERE AND HOW TO PROVIDE THAT, THERE'S SOME OF THE CONSIDERATIONS WE LOOKED AT, UM, WHERE WE MIGHT HAVE SPACE AVAILABLE WATER AND SEWER CAPACITY.
UM, ALSO HERE IN A MINUTE YOU'LL SEE A SLIDE ABOUT THE DIS DISTRIBUTION OF OUR PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL CONSTRUCTION PERMITS THAT WE CONSIDERED IN LOCATING THIS.
UM, SO KIND OF ORIENT ABOUT THE PROJECT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
UH, IF YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH OUR SPLASH PAD, THAT'S VERY POPULAR AT KELLY, UM, AND MAIN STREET THERE AT BARNETT FIELD.
THIS SPLASH PAD IS IN DESIGNED TO BE A SMALLER SCALE, SMALLER AMOUNT OF WATER USE TO SPECIFICALLY FIT THE LOCATION.
UM, WE'VE SELECTED, AND THIS HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY VETTED THROUGH THE, UH, PARK AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD AND WHO RECOMMENDED APPROVAL AS WELL AS THE C I P, UM, BOARD REGARDING THE FUNDING.
SO EARLIER I MENTIONED THE SWIMMING POOL PERMITS.
WE LOOKED AT, UH, WHERE DO PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS TO SWIMMING POOLS? AND ONE INDICATOR WE HAVE, UH, DATA ON IS WHERE WE'VE HAD SWIMMING POOL PERMITS POOLED.
SO IF A PERSON OR BUSINESS WANTS TO BUILD A SWIM POOL, THEY, YOU KNOW, PULL A PERMIT.
THOSE ARE INDICATED IN BLUE WHERE THOSE HAVE BEEN POOLED.
AND THEN THE, UM, RED IS INDICATED THAT EACH, THAT'S A DOT FOR EACH, UH, RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS HERE IN EDMOND.
SO WE KIND OF WANTED TO FIND A SPOT IN
[00:10:01]
PROPERTY THAT WE OWNED THAT IS MAYBE FURTHER AWAY FROM THE BLUE AND WHERE THERE'S A DENSE CONCENTRATION OF THE RED.SO YOU'LL SEE WE, UH, LANDED AT TED ANDERSON PARK.
SO TO ORIENT EVERYBODY TO THIS, WE HAVE SOUTH BOULEVARD HERE, UM, NEW COVENANT CHURCH HERE AND RANKIN HERE IN ORBIS REISNER.
JUST NORTH OF THAT A SPECIFIC, AS YOU'LL SEE MORE HERE IN A MINUTE, WE'RE LOOKING, GONNA PUT THE SPLASH PAD, UH, TOWARDS THE EAST SIDE OF THIS PARK.
UH, HERE'S AN ILLUSTRATION THAT WAS DONE OF THE CONCEPT OF THE CONCEPT PHASE.
SO THE FINAL PLAN'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, BUT UH, LARGELY, YOU KNOW, IT'S BASED ON THIS.
I HAVE SARAH ANDREWS IS HERE TODAY TOO, TO HELP IF WE NEED ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION OR DETAILS WITH GH TWO WHO, WHO DESIGNED THIS PROJECT FOR US.
UM, AND I BELIEVE THIS IS PROVIDED FOR YOU IN YOUR PACKET.
WHAT THIS SHOWS IS THE SPLASH PAD.
THIS ALSO SHOWS, AND I GOTTA SLIDE A LITTLE BIT LATER HERE AND JUST THE NEXT SLIDER.
SO, UM, A LOT OF THIS CONCRETE WORK IS BEING REDONE AND REPLACED TO IMPROVE ACCESSIBILITY TO AND THROUGHOUT THE PARK.
ONE THING THAT'S IMPORTANT TO, UH, THE PARK AND RECREATION BOARD IS TO HAVE A RESTROOM FACILITY AT THIS LOCATION.
AND, UM, THAT'S PROVIDED HERE ON THE NORTH.
I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ILLUSTRATION OF, UH, WHAT THAT MAY LOOK LIKE.
AND ALSO THE FINAL SLIDE HERE SHOWS SOME OF THE CONDITION OF THE SIDEWALKS THAT, THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO IMPROVE AND BRING UP TO CURRENT ACCESSIBILITY STANDARDS.
SO THAT IS ALSO PART OF THIS PROJECT.
WITH THAT, I WILL, UH, HAPPY TO ASK, ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, UM, LISTEN TO FEEDBACK OR COMMENTS, AND OF COURSE WE HAVE OTHER FOLKS WHO CAN HELP WITH THAT IF NEED BE TO, UH, DO ANY MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION HAVE ANY QUESTION OF THE APPLICANT AT THIS POINT IN TIME? I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.
UM, WHAT'S KIND OF THE, THE AGREEMENT OR THE ASSUMPTION ON, I WOULD ASSUME THAT THERE'LL BE A LOT OF PARKING IN THE CHURCH PARKING LOT THAT, UH, PEOPLE WILL USE.
IS THAT ANY ISSUE FOR THE CITY OR FOR THE CHURCH OR HOW IS THAT HANDLED? YEAH, WHERE PEOPLE PARK ABSOLUTELY A GOOD CONCERN THAT, UM, WE VISITED WITH THE CHURCH, NO NEW COVENANT THERE.
AND, UH, THEY'RE GENERALLY, THEY'RE WHAT I TAKE FROM THE CONVERSATION, THEY'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT AND WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT OPPORTUNITIES FOR WAYS THEY CAN USE IT AS WELL FOR THEIR, UM, CHILDCARE, UH, SCHOOL ACTIVITIES THAT HAPPEN THERE.
AND WE DID DISCUSS THE PARKING CONCERN THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE MAY BE FOLKS WANTING TO PARK HERE AND THEY ALREADY DEAL WITH THAT AND ARE NOT OPPOSED TO THAT.
AND THE SAME WITH THE SCHOOL REACHED OUT AND VISITED WITH THE SCHOOL, UM, AND THE PRINCIPAL AT THAT LOCATION.
AND WE MAY OPERATE THIS SPLASH PAD, UM, TIMING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, THE TIMING THAT'S AVAILABLE, A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IN, IN CASE WE NEED TO TAKE STEPS TO NOT INTERFERE WITH SCHOOL DROP OFF.
AND EVEN WHEN SCHOOL'S IN SESSION, A LOT OF THIS ACTIVITY HAPPENS HERE WHEN SCHOOL'S OUT OF SESSION.
BUT WE CAN FURTHER, UH, AVOID ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICT BY THE TIMING OF WHEN WE OPERATE THAT SPLASH PAD.
I ONLY HAD ONE QUICK QUESTION.
WHAT'S, WHAT IS THE OVERALL BUDGET ON THIS, IF YOU DON'T MIND ME ASKING? I DON'T REMEMBER OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
I WAS JUST CURIOUS WITH GHT, SHE MIGHT, UM, WILL ASK HER.
YEAH, I'D BE, I WAS JUST CURIOUS.
I CAN, I DON'T HAVE IT OFF TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO LOOK IT UP FOR LIKE BEFORE YOU, ME TO LOOK THAT UP.
UM, CAUSE I DON'T WANNA TELL YOU THE WRONG NUMBER.
I SHOULD HAVE OH, YOU'RE, NO, YOU'RE FINE.
WHAT'S THE ESTIMATED CALL? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF, UH, MR. OSHER AT THIS TIME? OKAY.
DO WE HAVE ANY MEMBERS OF THE, THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK EITHER FOR OR AGAINST THIS PROJECT SCENE? NONE.
DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS BY MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION? IF NOT, DO WE HAVE A MOTION? I HAVE SPLASH PADS,
AND THAT IS FINISHED WITH US HERE TONIGHT.
