May 06, 2025 Planning Commission

STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL.

APPLICANT IS REQUESTING, UH, A ZONING MAP AMENDMENT TO THE KELLY PUD OR JUST AN AMENDMENT TO THE P UUD ITSELF.

ACTUALLY, THE MAP IS ALL ALREADY ALL SET UP.

THE ZONING WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED.

THE PUD THAT WE HAVE HERE WAS ORIGINALLY APPROVED IN SEPTEMBER, 2023, APPROXIMATELY 20,000 SQUARE SQUARE FOOT.

SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF KELLY AND WEST FIRST STREET.

NEARBY.

ZONING AND LAND USE INCLUDE A SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPED WITH RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES TO THE NORTHEAST AND SOUTH WEST.

ACROSS KELLY IS A MIXED USE PUD THAT INCLUDES THE EXISTING CAR WASH.

THE AMENDMENT TO THE PUD STATEMENT ADDS RESTAURANT INCLUDING DRIVE THROUGH, DRIVE IN AS AN ALLOWED USE.

NO OTHER MODIFICATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED.

THE EDMUND PLAN 2018 DESIGNATES THE AREA URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD SINGLE TO AND LOW DENSITY MULTIFAMILY DISTRICTS, AS WELL AS INTEGRATED AND SUPPORTIVE COMMERCIAL OR MIXED USES ARE ALL APPROPRIATE IN THIS CATEGORY.

THE CATEGORY IS DESIGNED TO FUNCTION AS A TRANSITION FROM MORE INTENSE DOWNTOWN AREAS TO LESS INTENSE SUBURBAN AREAS.

DEVELOPMENT IN THIS CATEGORY SHOULD SUPPORT ACTIVE MOBILITY AND WALKABILITY.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU, MR. BRIAN.

ANY OF THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE QUESTIONS OF CITY STAFF AT THE MOMENT? SEEING NONE, UH, APPLICANT, DO YOU CARE TO ADD TO THE PRESENTATION? THERE WE GO.

MR. TODD MCINNIS.

THANK TODD MCIN FOR THE APPLICANT.

SCOTT LOPPER IS THE PROPERTY OWNER WHO'S HERE, JUST THANKS TO THE CITY STAFF.

THIS WAS A WEIRD ANOMALY.

YOU PROBABLY SAW IT IN THE MEMO WHERE WHEN THE PD WAS APPROVED, IT REFERENCED THE DRD, WHICH INCLUDED DRIVE THROUGH, AND THEN THERE WAS A MODIFICATION TO THE DRD DEFINITIONS 90 DAYS LATER THAT TOOK OUT DRIVE THROUGH.

SO WE WERE JUST KIND OF DOING SOME CLEANUP AND THE STAFF IS VERY HELPFUL TO DO IT AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE.

SO THANK YOU, AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS BEYOND THAT.

ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? YEAH, I'D LIKE A, A LITTLE BIT OF CLARIFICATION ON EXHIBIT B IN THE P UH, I KNOW HE'S ASKING FOR A RESTAURANT AND A DRIVE THROUGH, BUT, UH, IT LOOKS LIKE IN THIS SCHEMATIC THAT THERE IS NO DRIVE THROUGH.

IS THAT CORRECT? IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S, YOU WOULD HAVE TO HOP THE CURB, HIT A BUSH, AND THEN HIT A, UH, DUMPSTER TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A DRIVE THROUGH IN THE BACK, OR IT WOULD CERTAINLY BE ENTERTAINING.

UM, BUT, UH, YEAH, SO AS YOU KNOW, ON OUR EXHIBITS, THEY'RE FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY, SUBJECT TO MARKET CONDITIONS.

AND SO WE SHOWED THIS AT THE TIME.

SCOTT COULD SPEAK TO IT IF HE'D LIKE TO, BUT THE ACTUAL LAYOUT WILL BE ADDRESSED AT SITE PLANNING, UH, AS FAR AS WHERE EVERYTHING WILL SIT, UH, AS YOU KNOW, WE PUT THESE UP HERE AND WE'RE NOT GETTING THE AUTHORITY TO HAVE OUR DUMPSTER JUST IN THAT SPOT OR BUILDING THAT SPOT.

WE HAVE SETBACK RULES IN OUR PUD LANGUAGE AS WELL.

SO ONE MORE THING ON THAT, UH, TODD, THE, THE IMPORTANT COMPONENT THAT IS IN THE ORIGINAL PED RE RE UM, REGARDS ACCESS.

SO THE, THE, THE EXHIBIT IS HELPFUL IN SHOWING HOW THE ACCESS MIGHT WORK, RIGHT? AND THAT HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED EITHER.

SO THOSE ACCESS POINTS, UM, CLOSING THE TWO EXISTING DRIVES ON KELLY AND ADDING THE DRIVE, UM, MIDBLOCK AND AT THE ALLEY, WOULD, WOULD ALL, UH, STILL BE PART OF THAT LAYOUT? THAT'S CORRECT.

AND YOU, I THINK STAFF ASKED ME ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THAT WAS A KEY SAFETY COMPONENT OF THIS PD TO START WITH, IS ELIMINATING TO, WITHOUT, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY NON-CONFORMING ACCESS POINTS ONTO KELLY AND GOING WITH THE ACCESS POINTS THAT ARE SHOWN HERE, COMMISSIONER WINTER.

BUT I, I CAN'T, SO WELL, YOU CAN, YOU CAN MAKE YOUR STATEMENT KNOWN.

WELL, USUALLY WITH THE, UH, WITH THE PUD BECAUSE IT'S, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S USUALLY PRETTY SPECIFIC ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHETHER THERE'S GONNA BE TWO BUILDINGS OR ONE BUILDING OR ONE STORY, OR THREE STORIES OR, YOU KNOW, I CAN IMAGINE THAT THIS WAS PUT IN BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GONNA PUT IN 20 UNITS OF, UH, APARTMENTS BECAUSE YOU'RE WELL, YEAH, WELL, I MEAN, BECAUSE THAT'S, YOU'RE, YOU'RE ALLOWED UP TO 20 UNITS ON THAT, WHICH I, I WANT TO RETROACTIVELY VOTE AGAINST THAT,

[00:05:01]

YEAH, I APPRECIATE THAT.

UH, SO I THINK WE HAVE 20,000 SQUARE FEET HERE.

IS THAT WHAT THE SIZE OF OUR LOT IS? SO THE REALITY OF ANY DEVELOPMENT WE'RE DICTATED BY PARKING KIND OF CONTROLS THE DAY, RIGHT? SO, SO MANY PARKS FIRST, SO MANY THOUSAND SQUARE FEET OF SPACE, SO MANY PARKS PER UNIT, RIGHT? SINGLE BEDROOM, ONE, TWO BEDROOMS, TWO, THREE BEDROOMS, TWO PARKING SPOTS.

SO, SO THAT KIND OF SOLVES THE CONCERN FOR 20 UNITS FOR THE MOST PART BY ITSELF.

BUT I CAN, SCOTT CAN SPEAK TO THE FACT OF NOT GONNA HAVE 20 UNITS OF A RESIDENTIAL OR ACTIVITY HERE.

SO AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE, WE'RE MAKING THIS SPECIFIC MODIFICATION TO ADDRESS A POTENTIAL TENANT THAT MIGHT COME HERE PRETTY QUICKLY.

SO, OKAY.

BUT THIS IS, THIS IS CLOSE TO WHAT IT WOULD BE, RIGHT? OKAY, SIR.

ALRIGHT, ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? HEARING NONE, ANY, UH, PUBLIC, ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC WISHING TO, UM, ADDRESS FOR OR AGAINST THIS PROJECT? PLEASE COME TO THE MICROPHONE.

SEEING NONE, I WILL MOVE.

AND WE'VE ANSWERED ALL QUESTIONS.

SO I'LL MOVE TO A, LOOKING FOR A MOTION ON THIS ITEM.

I WILL MAKE A MOTION.

WE HAVE A MOTION.

I'LL MAKE A SECOND AND A SECOND.

AND THAT MOST, THAT, UH, AGENDA ITEM PASSES ON A VOTE OF THREE TO ONE AND IT MOVES TO CITY COUNCIL ON MAY 27TH, 2025.

KNOWN AS THE EDMOND PLAN.

APPRECIATE, THANK YOU.

AND MOVING ON TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOUR, DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION ITEMS. LET'S SEE.

AND WE ARE GOING TO HEAR ITEM NUMBER A, WHICH IS CONSIDERATION OF THE GENERAL CONSENT ITEMS. UH, I'M SORRY, I APOLOGIZE.

MOVING ON TO NUMBER FIVE, PRESENTATION OF THE UPDATE OF THE CITY OF EDMOND'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN,

[5. Presentation of the update to the City of Edmond's Comprehensive Plan, known as The Edmond Plan. ]

MR. RYAN'S PRESENTING.

UM, YEAH, HANNAH NOLAN, OUR SENIOR LONG RANGE PLANNER, HAS BEEN DOING ALL THE WORK ON THIS, AND SO SHE'S GOING TO, UH, GIVE THIS PRESENTATION.

YEAH, THANK YOU.

I APPRECIATE YOU LETTING ME SIT DOWN HERE.

I HAD KNEE SURGERY LAST MONTH, SO I CAN'T STAND THAT LONG.

UM, AS YOU SAID, I'M HANNAH NOLAN, UH, PLANNING DEPARTMENT, AND I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE COMP PLAN UPDATES.

SO HERE'S A QUICK AGENDA FOR THE PRESENTATION.

UM, GIVE A BRIEF INTRODUCTION ON THE CURRENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

UM, I'LL GET, I'LL TALK ABOUT WHY WE ARE UPDATING THE PLAN AND WHAT IS CHANGING, AND THEN I'LL GO THROUGH THE FOUR MAIN AREAS, UM, THAT ARE EXPERIENCING CHANGE, AND THAT'S HOUSING, MOBILITY, URBAN FORESTRY, AND THEN IMPLEMENTATION.

AND THEN I'LL LEAVE WITH NEXT STEPS.

AND A QUICK NOTE IS THAT I INTEND TO COME BACK TO THE JUNE 3RD MEETING TO UPDATE YOU ON CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE, UM, AND GIVE YOU A DRAFT DOCUMENT AT THAT TIME, AND THEN ASK FOR RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.

SO, UH, EDMOND'S COMP PLAN IS A POLICY DOCUMENT FOR HOW THE CITY SHOULD GROW AND DEVELOP OVER THE LONG TERM.

THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS MADE UP OF THREE MAIN COMPONENTS.

IT'S DOCUMENTING A DESIRED FUTURE VISION FOR THE COMMUNITY.

IT'S EXAMINING CURRENT ISSUES AND TRENDS THAT WILL LIKELY INFLUENCE THE COMMUNITY IN THE FUTURE, AND THEN LISTENING AND PRIORITIZE, LISTENING AND PRIORITIZING THE POLICIES, TOOLS, ACTIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WILL HELP US OVERCOME OUR CHALLENGES, UM, TO SEE THE VISION IS ACHIEVED.

UH, THE FRAMEWORK OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN STARTS WITH THE VISION STATEMENT, UM, AND THE VISION STATEMENT'S UP THERE FOR YOU.

EDMOND WILL BE A DIVERSE AND INNOVATIVE HOMETOWN COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE THROUGH LEADERSHIP, BALANCED GROWTH, AND COOPERATION.

THESE STANDARDS WILL ONLY BE ACCOMPLISHED BY CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.

THE NEXT LEVEL DOWN ARE THE PLAN GOALS.

THESE PROVIDE DIRECTION FOR HOW WE WILL GO ABOUT ACHIEVING THAT VISION.

UM, AND THE PLAN GOALS IN OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ARE LISTED AT THE END OF EACH SUBJECT AREA CHAPTER.

THE MOST DETAILED LEVEL IS OUR ACTION ITEMS. THESE ARE SPECIFIC PROJECTS, PROGRAMS, POLICIES AND REGULATIONS THAT SERVED AS TOOLS TO IMPLEMENT THE PLAN.

THEY, UM, WE REFER TO THESE AS OUR ACTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.

YOU'LL HEAR ME SAY THAT A LOT.

UM, THEY USED TO BE SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE DOCUMENT, BUT SINCE THE PREVIOUS PLAN UPDATE, THEY'RE ALL LISTED IN THE IMPLEMENTATION CHAPTER, WHICH I BELIEVE IS IN YOUR PACKETS.

THE CURRENT ADMIN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS CALLED ADMIN PLAN 2018.

THE PLAN WAS AN UPDATE TO THE PREVIOUS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CALLED PLAN FOUR, WHICH WAS ADOPTED IN 2007.

UH, THE BIGGEST CHANGE THAT OCCURRED WITH THE 2018 PLAN WAS TO THE LAND USE SECTION.

THE PLAN INCLUDES FIVE MAIN SUBJECT AREAS.

THERE'S LAND USE, TRANSPORTATION, UTILITIES, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND PARKS AND RECREATION.

EACH OF THOSE HAS ITS OWN CHAPTER, AND EACH CHAPTER INCLUDES AT LEAST THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION, UH, SUBJECT OVERVIEW, CURRENT CONDITIONS AND TRENDS, THE GOALS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT TOPIC AREA, LIKE I MENTIONED.

SO THERE ARE LAND USE GOALS, PARKS AND RECREATION GOALS.

AND THEN AT THE END OF THE PLAN IS A LIST OF ALL OF THE ACTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.

SO THAT'S THE CURRENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

[00:10:01]

UH, SINCE THE ADMIN PLAN 2018 WAS ADOPTED IN MARCH OF 2019, AND SINCE THE PLAN WAS ADOPTED, UH, THERE HAVE BEEN SEVEN AMENDMENTS.

THE MOST SUBSTANTIAL OCCURRED IN JUNE OF 2022.

AND THAT WAS TO INCORPORATE THE EAST EDMOND 2050 PLAN AND SAW THE ADDITION OF SEVERAL NEW PLAN CATEGORIES.

SINCE THAT UPDATE, EDMOND HAS COMPLETED THREE MAJOR STUDIES THAT NOW NEED TO BE INCORPORATED INTO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO WE HAD EDMOND SHIFT THE LONG RANGE MOBILITY PLAN, WHICH WAS APPROVED IN OCTOBER OF 2022.

THE EDMOND HOUSING ASSESSMENT WAS ACCEPTED IN AUGUST OF 23.

AND THEN THE FORCE COMPOSITION AND ECOSYSTEM ANALYSIS WAS COMPLETED IN SEPTEMBER OF 23.

AND SO WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE THIS UPDATE, UM, OF THE COMP PLAN COMPLETED BY JULY.

SO THERE ARE OCCASIONS, OBVIOUSLY, UM, WHEN WE NEED TO AMEND THE COMP PLAN.

UH, WE DO LOOK AT IT EVERY YEAR JUST TO MONITOR AND TRACK OUR PROGRESS AND MAKE ANY NECESSARY UPDATES TO POLICIES OR ACTIONS.

UH, WE'VE HAD SEVERAL AMENDMENTS, LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, RELATED TO NEW DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS.

UM, SO THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN CLARIFYING LANGUAGE OR EVEN CHANGING, UM, WHICH PLAN CATEGORY, UM, SOMETHING WAS.

AND THEN WE'LL MAKE MODIFICATIONS IN ORDER TO KEEP THE PLAN CURRENT.

SO, AS I MENTIONED, WHEN THE EASTMOND 2050 PLAN WAS COMPLETED, WE HAD TO AMEND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO INCLUDE INITIATIVES AND THE NEW PLAN CATEGORIES.

SO WHILE I'M INTRODUCING THIS UPDATE, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO TELL YOU ABOUT WHAT IS NOT CHANGING WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WHAT IS, UM, SO HERE'S THE TABLE OF CONTENTS OF THE UPDATED PLAN.

THE ONES IN BOLD ARE THE ONES THAT ARE BASICALLY ON TOUCH.

THEY'RE STAYING THE SAME.

SO, UM, THAT'S THE FIRST TWO CHAPTERS.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION, THE VISION CHAPTER, UM, WHICH PULLS IN LANGUAGE FROM TOMORROW'S EDMOND FROM THE MID NINETIES, WHICH IS STILL RELEVANT TODAY.

SO THAT'S UNCHANGED.

UM, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND PARKS AND RECREATION CHAPTERS, UM, REMAIN THE SAME.

AND LAST, AND PROBABLY MOST RELEVANT TO ALL OF YOU IS THAT THE LAND USE CHAPTER DID NOT CHANGE.

SO, UM, THAT MEANS THAT WE DID NOT MAKE ANY CHANGE TO THE PLAN CATEGORIES OR THE MAP.

AND THEN PRIORITY RECOMMENDATIONS.

SO WHAT HAS CHANGED, AS I MENTIONED, IT'S HOUSING MOBILITY, THE, UH, UTILITIES CHAPTER AND THE IMPLEMENTATION CHAPTER.

AND I'LL GO THROUGH EACH OF THOSE AS BRIEFLY AS I CAN.

SO THE ADMIN HOUSING ASSESSMENT, UH, WAS COMPLETED IN 2023, AND IT STUDIED OUR HOUSING LANDSCAPE, INCLUDING CHALLENGES, OPPORTUNITIES, STRATEGIES, AND POLICIES.

UM, ACCORDING TO THE ASSESSMENT, EDMOND NEEDS TO ADD ALMOST 9,000 HOUSING UNITS OVER THE NEXT DECADE TO CATCH UP WITH DEMAND.

AND IT ALSO FOUND THAT ALMOST 75% OF EDMOND'S WORKFORCE LIVES OUTSIDE OF CITY LIMITS AND COMMUTES IN EACH DAY.

THE ASSESSMENT IDENTIFIED FOUR STRATEGY AREAS TO IMPROVE HOUSING AND EDMOND.

UH, IT'S REDUCED BARRIERS TO EXPANDING PRODUCTION OF ALL HOUSING TYPES, DIVERSIFY HOUSING TYPES AND PRICE POINTS, FACILITATE THE IMPROVEMENT OF OLDER HOUSING AND SUPPORT EMPLOYERS, THE ECONOMY AND WORKERS THROUGH WORKFORCE HOUSING.

SO THIS IS A BRAND NEW CHAPTER THAT IS NOW IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND INCLUDES SECTION SUMMARIZING THE RESULTS OF THE ASSESSMENT, INCLUDING KEY HOUSING TRENDS, CURRENT CONDITIONS, HOUSING DEMAND AND AFFORDABILITY GAPS IN EDMOND.

UM, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, EACH SUBJECT AREA CHAPTER HAS ITS OWN GOALS LISTED AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER.

SO WE HAVE FOUR HOUSING GOALS.

UM, THEY'RE DEVELOPED BASED ON THE HOUSING ASSESSMENT, AND, UH, WE WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES DEPARTMENT.

UM, I WON'T READ 'EM, BUT THE FOUR GOALS ARE FOCUSED ON ENSURING THE AVAILABILITY OF HOUSING STOCK IN EDMOND INCLUDES A VARIETY OF HOUSING TYPES, DIVERSE AND AFFORDABLE OPTIONS, AND WORKFORCE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES.

SO NOW THESE ARE THE HOUSING ACTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WILL HELP US TO REACH THOSE GOALS.

UM, AGAIN, I WON'T READ THOSE, BUT YOU HAVE THEM IN YOUR PACKET BECAUSE THEY'RE IN THE PRESENTATION.

THEY'RE ALSO IN THE IMPLEMENTATION CHAPTER.

UM, OVERALL THERE ARE SEVEN HOUSING ACTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS TWO WERE EXISTING.

WE HAD THEM IN THE LAST PLAN, SO THEY'RE NOT UP HERE, BUT THEY'RE IN YOUR PACKET.

UM, AND SO THESE ARE THE FIVE NEW ONES.

THEY INCLUDE, UM, ITEMS SUCH AS CONTINUING TO SUPPORT HOME BUYER, ASSISTANT HOME REHABILITATION, WEATHERIZATION CODE ENFORCEMENT PROGRAMS, UH, UPDATING THE ZONING CODE TO ALLOW MORE HOUSING TYPES BY RIGHT AND WORKING TO PROVIDE MORE HOUSING RESOURCES AND IMPROVE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT.

SO THAT WAS THE HOUSING CHAPTER.

UM, MOVE ON TO MOBILITY ADOPTED IN 2022, EDMOND SHIFT REINFORCED COMMUNITY DESIRE FOR SAFE, CONVENIENT, AND MULTIMODAL ACCESS.

THE PRIOR PRIORITY PYRAMID, UM, RESULTS SHOWN THERE IS WHAT HELPS SHAPE EDMOND SHIFT'S GOALS, VISION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS.

THE PLAN WALKED THROUGH ANALYSES AND FINAL RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS FOR PEDESTRIANS, BICYCLISTS, ROADWAY, USERS, SAFETY AND TRANSIT.

THE BULK

[00:15:01]

OF THE INITIATIVES FROM EDMUND SHIFT WERE PLACED IN THE NEW AND IMPROVED MOBILITY CHAPTER, USED TO BE CALLED TRANSPORTATION.

UM, IN TANDEM WITH THE COMPLETION OF THE PLAN, THE CITY ADOPTED A VISION ZERO RESOLUTION, UM, TO WORK TOWARDS REDUCING AND ELIMINATING SERIOUS INJURIES AND DEATHS ON ROADWAYS.

SO THERE'S A HEAVY SAFETY COMPONENT IN THE PLAN IN EDMOND SHIFT THAT IS REFLECTED IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE.

ANOTHER OUTPUT OF EDMOND SHIFT IS TO PRIORITIZE LIST OF MOBILITY PROJECTS THAT WE PULL FROM WHENEVER WE HAVE FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES.

PREVIOUSLY, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HAD FIVE GOALS RELATED TO MOBILITY.

UM, WE REPLACED THOSE FIVE GOALS IN FAVOR OF THESE SEVEN GOALS.

UM, THE IMAGE THERE SHOWS, UH, SCREENSHOT FROM ADMIN SHIFT PLAN, SO WE JUST TOOK THOSE SAME GOALS AND ROLLING 'EM INTO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

UM, THEY REPRESENT HOW THE CITY SHOULD GO ABOUT ACHIEVING OUR VISION OF CREATING AND MAINTAINING A MULTIMODAL NETWORK THAT IS CONVENIENT AND SAFE FOR EVERYONE.

THE GOALS FOCUS ON CREATING A WELL CONNECTED, SAFE, FUNCTIONAL, AND ACCESSIBLE MOBILITY NETWORK.

PREVIOUSLY IN THE LAST PLAN, THERE WAS ONLY A HANDFUL OF ACTION RECOMMENDATIONS RELATED TO MOBILITY OR TRANSPORTATION.

UM, I BELIEVE THERE ARE MAYBE FOUR NOW.

WE HAVE 18.

UM, SO THAT'S OVER THE NEXT FOUR SLIDES.

AGAIN, I WON'T READ 'EM.

UM, THE, I WILL NOTE THAT THE EDMUND MOBILITY COMMISSION, UM, IS PROVIDING A THOROUGH REVIEW OF ALL OF THESE.

UM, THE ACTIONABLE RECOMMENDATIONS ON THIS SLIDE, FOCUS ON ADDRESSING STREET STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS, STREET, UM, CROSS SECTIONS AND OTHER CITY POLICIES THAT PRIORITIZE SAFETY, ESPECIALLY FOR OUR VULNERABLE ROAD USERS SUCH AS THOSE WALKING OR BIKING.

UH, THE ACTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS HERE, UH, FOCUS ON IMPROVING CONNECTIVITY BOTH BETWEEN NEIGHBORHOODS, UM, THAT ARE EXISTING, AND ALSO UPDATING THE CODES TO SHOW HOW FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS SHOULD BE CONNECTED.

UM, IT ALSO ADDRESSES DESIGNING AND BUILDING STREET CROSSINGS THAT PRIORITIZE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY, AND THEN LOOKING AT RETROFIT STRATEGIES ON OUR EXISTING STREETS AND FACILITIES TO MAKE THEM SAFER.

SO ONE EXAMPLE IS ADDRESSING UNSAFE LEFT TURNS, UM, ALONG UNDIVIDED ROADWAYS.

UH, THE ACTIONS HERE FOCUS ON IMPROVING THE CITY'S BICYCLE NETWORK BY ENHANCING FACILITIES CONNECTIONS AND WAY FINDING AND MAKING UPDATES TO OUR DEVELOPMENT CODE AND ENGINEERING STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS AND DETAILS TO ADDRESS RIGHT AWAY REQUIREMENTS FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF ROADS AND ACCESS MANAGEMENT.

SO LAST MOBILITY SLIDE, UM, INCLUDES ACTIONS RELATED TO THE NEED FOR AN UPDATED ITS MASTER PLAN IN ENHANCING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN EDMOND BY EXPANDING TRANSIT TECHNOLOGY AND COORDINATE, UM, CONTINUING TO COORDINATE WITH THE RTA, THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY.

OKAY, SO THAT WAS MOBILITY TWO DOWN.

UH, THE FORCE COMPOSITION AND ECOSYSTEM ANALYSIS WAS COMPLETED IN 2023, AND IT ESTABLISHED A BASELINE FOR THE EXTENT AND FUNCTION OF THE EXISTING URBAN FOREST.

IT COMPARED 2023 CANOPY DATA TO LEVELS SEEN IN THE PAST, UM, WHICH IS, UH, THAT PURPLE SHOWS THE TREE CANOPY COVERAGE.

IT ALSO PROVIDED A RESOURCE TO GUIDE FUTURE FOREST MANAGEMENT EFFORTS BY IDENTIFYING SANDS OF FORESTED AREAS FOR CONSERVATION.

SO, UM, ONE OF THE OUTPUTS OF THAT PLAN OF THAT STUDY IS THE FOREST PRIORITY CLASSIFICATION MATRIX WAS, WHICH IS THAT MAP WITH THE RED THAT WILL BE USED TO HELP INFORM AREAS THAT SHOULD HAVE LIMITED DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY, WHICH IS THE RED, AND THEN WHERE WE SHOULD TARGET TREE PLANTINGS.

SO WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE, WE CONSOLIDATED ALL OF THE EXISTING URBAN FORESTRY GOALS AND MENTIONS INTO A RETITLE CHAPTER.

IT USED TO BE UTILITY, NOW IT'S UTILITIES AND NATURAL RESOURCES.

UM, WE INCLUDED A NEW GOAL FOR FORESTRIES, UM, FOCUSED ON PROMOTING, PRESERVING, AND ENHANCING OUR URBAN FOREST.

THERE ARE SIX TOTAL FORESTRY ACTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS TWO ARE EXISTING AND THEY'RE ALL IN YOUR PACKET.

TWO ARE EXISTING WITH NO CHANGES.

THE FIRST ONE UP THERE WAS EXISTING AND IT SAW QUITE A FEW CHANGES.

WE HAD TO MOVE SOME THINGS AROUND.

AND THEN WE HAVE THREE NEW ONES, WHICH IS THOSE LAST THREE.

UH, WE WORKED CLOSE CLOSELY WITH OUR URBAN FORESTRY DEPARTMENT TO DEVELOP THESE, UM, AND INCLUDES, UM, UPDATING DEVELOPMENT CODES TO PROTECTS ECOLOGICALLY SENSITIVE AREAS, CONDUCTING A, A FULL INVENTORY OF PUBLIC TREES, AND THEN CREATING AN URBAN FOREST MASTER PLAN AS WELL AS AN URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN.

ALRIGHT, SO SINCE WE MADE ALL THOSE UPDATES TO HOUSING MOBILITY AND URBAN FORESTRY, UM, AND WE ADDED NEW ACTION AND RECOMMENDATIONS, THAT MEANS WE ALSO HAD TO UPDATE OUR IMPLEMENTATION

[00:20:01]

CHAPTER, UM, WHICH INCLUDES THAT LIST OF ACTIONS AND WHICH IS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKAGE.

UM, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, WE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, OUR ACTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS EVERY YEAR TO SEE HOW WE'RE DOING, UM, IN TERMS OF WORKING TOWARDS OUR GOALS AND ACCOMPLISHING THESE ACTIONS.

UH, WE KEEP A DETAILED VERSION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION CHAPTER, WHICH IS THAT, UM, IT'S, UH, IT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION, BUT, UM, THE ONE THAT WE SPECIFICALLY FOCUS ON IS THE PROGRESS TRACKING.

THAT'S WHERE WE, UM, PUT IN NOTES WHEN MILESTONES HAVE BEEN REACHED OR A PLAN HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

UM, SO WHEN WE COMPLETE AN ACTION ITEM, WE, UM, ARE KEEPING THEM IN THE DOCUMENT, BUT WE'RE MOVING THEM TO A, A COMPLETED SECTION.

WE JUST LIKE TO KEEP THEM THERE SO THAT WE CAN, UM, SHOW WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED.

A FEW EXAMPLES OF THINGS WE'VE COMPLETED RECENTLY.

UM, OBVIOUSLY THE ADMIN HOUSING ASSESSMENT AND ADMIN SHIFT, UM, WERE BOTH COMPLETED.

AND THOSE WERE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE PREVIOUS PLAN IS THAT WE DO THOSE PLANS.

AND SO WE DID, UM, AND THEN STRENGTHEN THE CITY'S COMMITMENT TO MAINTAINING HIGH QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES.

WE ADDRESSED THIS RECENTLY WITH THE COMPLETION OF THE PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX, UM, AND ASSESSMENT, UH, WHICH SHOWED OUR NETWORK SCORES, UM, IN TERMS OF OVERALL QUALITY OF OUR ROADS AND HOW MUCH IT'LL COST TO MAINTAIN THEM.

LAST ONE.

SO I'LL BE TAKING A TAILORED PRESENTATION TO A FEW OTHER COMMITTEES AND COMMISSIONS.

I'LL BE AT BIKE COMMITTEE, BICYCLE SCHOOL COMMITTEE THIS FRIDAY.

UM, AND THEY'LL COMMENT ON ALL THE BI BIKE AND SAFETY RELATED ITEMS. I PRESENTED TO EDMOND MOBILITY COMMISSION IN APRIL, AND I'LL BE BACK THERE ON MAY 15TH.

I'LL BE GOING TO THE CITIZEN PARTICIPATION COMMITTEE IN JUNE, UH, TO GET THEIR FEEDBACK ON THE HOUSING CHAPTER.

AND THEN I'LL BE BACK HERE ON JUNE 3RD WITH A DRAFT READY TO DISCUSS CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE, UM, OVER THE NEXT MONTH AS A RESULT OF FEEDBACK FROM COMMITTEES AND COMMISSIONS.

THERE WILL ALSO BE A CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP IN JUNE, AND THEN LAST STOP WILL BE COUNCIL AGAIN IN JULY.

UH, LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE AFTER THIS UPDATE, WE ARE WORKING TO ESTABLISH SOME REOCCURRING TRAINING AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATES THAT WE CAN BRING TO VARIOUS BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS EVERY YEAR, UM, TO KEEP IT FRESH IN EVERYBODY'S MIND AND STAY ON TRACK.

SO THAT IS ALL I HAVE.

I'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS YEAH.

ON ANYTHING.

NO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT PRESENTATION.

SURE.

ANY OF THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR CITY STAFF ON THIS ITEM? AND AGAIN, THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM.

THIS IS SIMPLY AN INTRODUCTION JUST TO, UH, INTRODUCE THE IDEA AND WHAT THEY'RE WORKING ON.

SO, UH, ANY ANY FEEDBACK I'M SURE WOULD BE APPRECIATED BY THEM.

IF NOT, WE'LL MOVE ON.

UH, QUICK QUESTION.

UH, THE CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP IS THE, WHO ALL'S INVITED TO THAT.

SO THAT'LL BE, UH, THAT'LL BE A WORKSHOP.

THEY HAVE LIKE THE MONDAY OF COUNCIL, IT'S A PUBLIC WORKSHOP.

IT'S JUST THEY'RE TOPIC SPECIFIC, UM, ITEMS WHERE IT JUST GIVES COUNCIL A CHANCE TO HEAR ABOUT AN ITEM, PROVIDE COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK.

I THINK THERE'LL BE TWO TOPICS AT THAT WORKSHOP.

THEY WERE GONNA GET AN UPDATE ON THEIR STRATEGIC PLAN.

AND THEN, UH, THE, UH, WE'LL GET INTO SOME DETAILS ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

TO ADDRESS THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON PLANNING COMMISSION RELATED MATTERS, NOT ON THE AGENDA OR SCHEDULED FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING.

BUT YEAH, THOSE ARE POSTED MEETINGS JUST LIKE THIS.

THEY, THEY DON'T TAKE ACTION ON, ON ITEMS AT WORKSHOPS.

ANY OTHER COMMISSIONERS HAVE ANY COMMENTS? SEEING NONE, WE WILL MOVE ON TO CITIZEN'S COMMENTS.

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR RESIDENTS AND NON-RESIDENTS

[6. Citizen Comments. This is an opportunity for residents and non-residents to address the Planning Commission on Planning Commission related matters not on the agenda or scheduled for a public hearing. All remarks must be directed to the Chair of the meeting, are limited to three minutes or less, and must otherwise be made in accordance with Section I of the City Council / Public Works Authority rules, available here and upon request at the City Clerk's Office.]

ALL REMARKS MUST BE DIRECTED TO THE CHAIR OF THE MEETING, ARE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES OR LESS, AND MUST OTHERWISE BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION ONE OF THE CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY RULES, UM, THAT ARE AVAILABLE ON REQUEST OF THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE.

ANY CITIZENS CARE TO ADDRESS PLANNING COMMISSION AT THIS TIME? IF SO, UH, COME TO THE MICROPHONE.

YOU'LL JUST MISS, UH, MAYOR O'NEIL, IF YOU'LL GIVE US YOUR, YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, WE'LL MOVE ON.

NEIL.

I, I JUST STOPPED BY TO SEE, I GUESS I MISSED THE FIRST PART OF THE MEETING AND IT WAS ALREADY OVER.

BUT ANYWAY, ON THE, UH, EDMOND SHIFT, I'M SORT OF CURIOUS ABOUT THAT.

WAS THERE A PUBLIC HEARING OR ANY PUBLIC INPUT ON THAT OR A, A PUBLIC, UH, DISCUSSION OR ANY COMMITTEE INVOLVED IN IT? OR WAS THAT ALL STAFF PRODUCED? I GUESS THAT'S A QUESTION FOR YEAH, IF YOU WANNA GIVE US ALL YOUR QUESTIONS, WE WILL.

ASK THAT.

AND THERE'S A COUPLE OTHER REPORTS THAT WERE DONE.

UH, MOBILITY PLAN.

I KNOW THERE WAS A LITTLE, THE HOUSING ASSESSMENT, I KNOW THERE WAS A LITTLE MORE PUBLIC INPUT ON THAT ONE, I THINK, BUT, UH, I WAS JUST SORT OF CURIOUS IF, I DIDN'T KNOW WE HAD A FINAL APPROVAL ON ANYTHING OUT OF THE

[00:25:01]

ASSESSMENT.

YEAH.

AND, AND IT'S, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT, UH, AGAIN, THIS IS, I DON'T THINK THESE ARE FINAL, THESE ARE JUST IN SIMPLY INTRODUCTIONS AND SHE'LL BE DOING THIS PRESENTATION.

OTHER AREAS, AND THERE WAS ONE OTHER ONE TOO, WHETHER THERE WAS ANY, UH, INTENSIVE PUBLIC DISCUSSION OR GROUP INVOLVEMENT OR, UH, CITIZENS ACTIVITY, OR WAS IT JUST STAFF PRODUCED? THERE WERE TWO OR THREE REPORTS THAT THEY HAD PART OF THIS, PART OF THIS THAT WE'RE, I'M JUST SORT OF CURIOUS IF THERE WAS ANY PUBLIC IN I DON'T REMEMBER MUCH.

SO THANK YOU.

DO YOU CARE TO, OR IS THE QUESTION WAS WHAT, WHAT PUBLIC INPUT WAS THERE ON SOME OF THOSE VARIOUS REPORTS THAT HELPED COMPILE THE PROPOSAL? THAT'S NOT A DISCUSSION.

OH, SORRY.

WE CANNOT DISCUSS THAT AT THE MOMENT.

SO, SO THAT WILL BE OUTSIDE.

I KNOW THAT THIS WILL BE A PUBLIC HEARING ITEM ON JUNE 3RD AS, AS LONG AS EVERYTHING GOES ON, AND THAT'D BE THE AREA TO DISCUSS.

THAT WOULD BE THOSE ITEMS RIGHT THERE.

SO, SO THERE'S NO ANSWER ON THAT QUESTION.

I'M JUST ASKING IF THERE WAS A PUBLIC, THAT ITEM'S NOT ON THE AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION TODAY, SO THEY CAN'T RESPOND TO CITIZENS' COMMENTS, BUT STAFF COULD PROBABLY GET THAT INFORMATION AND GET WHAT YOU, SO NO ANSWERS TO PUBLIC.

YOU REQUEST PUBLIC NOT IN THE PUBLIC ITEMS ON THE AGENDA.

YEAH, NOT IN THE PUBLIC FORM OR FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

ANY OTHER CITIZENS HAVE ANY CITIZENS COMMENTS AT THE MOMENT? I'LL GO.

IF YOU'LL JUST COME TO THE MIC AND JUST GIVE US YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

HI, MY NAME'S JESSE.

I LIVE OFF OF SANTA FE OVER THERE BY THE HIGH SCHOOL, AND THIS IS MY F FIRST PUBLIC HEARING, SO I JUST WANTED TO COME BY AND SAY HELLO.

SEE HOW IT KIND OF GOES.

THE REASON I WANTED TO COME IN IS BECAUSE THERE IS LAND THAT IS UP FOR REZONING NEAR MY HOME.

UM, IT'S ABOUT FIVE ACRES.

IT WAS ORIGINALLY JUST A SINGLE DWELLING HOME.

IT IS NOW UP FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND I'M VERY CONCERNED.

UM, I'M RIGHT NEXT TO A HIGH SCHOOL.

IT'S A NEIGHBORHOOD AREA AND IT'S A GORGEOUS FIVE ACRE LOT WITH ESTABLISHED TREES.

UM, I HAVE, I'M A BIG BIRDER AND SO I LOVE BIRDING.

WE HAVE HUGE BIRD POPULATIONS NEAR US.

I HAVE SEEN DEER, ALL KINDS OF ANIMALS.

AND SO I'M JUST CONCERNED THAT THIS FIVE ACRE LOT NEAR MY HOUSE IS GONNA BE TURNED INTO A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.

AND SO PLEASE NO MORE, UH, CAR WASHES.

THAT'S GOODNESS OF ME.

WE HAVE MORE CAR WASHES THAN CHURCHES IT SEEMS LIKE.

AND SO I JUST WANT TO COME RAISE MY CONCERNS TO LET YOU KNOW, I LOVE HOW MUCH WE LOVE THE FOREST HERE IN EDMOND.

AND SO I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS AREA TURN INTO A PARK.

MAYBE, YOU KNOW, SOME PUBLIC GREEN SPACES, A STATUE PARK, WHO KNOWS? BUT I JUST WANTED TO COME SAY HELLO AND, UM, INTRODUCE MYSELF.

SO YEAH.

HELLO, I'M CATHERINE SIMPSON.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

2 3, 3 NATURE LANE EDMOND.

UH, THE CASE THAT I CAME FOR HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE 20TH, BUT I HAVE MY OWN BOARD MEETING THAT NIGHT, SO I WON'T BE ABLE TO ATTEND.

BUT I JUST WANTED TO KNOW GENERALLY, UM, THE LAND IS BEING REZONED ON THE EAST SIDE OF ARBOR CREEK NEIGHBORHOOD, AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S BEING REZONED TO LARGE ONE ACRE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS.

UM, I'M NOT SURE OF THE PROCESS.

DOES THAT MEAN THE LAND'S ALREADY BEEN SOLD TO A DEVELOPER AND IF SO, HOW DO I FIND OUT WHO THAT IS? WHO REQUESTED THE REZONING? THE SELLER OR THE, THE BUYER.

YEAH, OUR NUMBER'S 4 0 5 3 5 9.

AND WITHOUT, AS, AS THE CITY ATTORNEY SAID, WITHOUT IT BEING AN AGENDA ITEM, WE CAN'T DISCUSS IT IN A PUBLIC FORUM.

UM, I THINK, WELL, I WON'T BE AVAILABLE MAY 20TH.

SO WHO, HOW DO I GET MY ANSWERS? WHO DO I CALL THIS MASSIVE GUY? HE'S MY REPRESENTATIVE.

IS THAT WHO I CALL? YEAH.

YOU'RE WELCOME TO CALL THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT OR THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT OR EMAIL US.

I ASSUME THAT'S ON HERE.

FOUR SEVEN, NINE ZERO.

YES.

SO JUST CALL YOU ANYTIME.

ABSOLUTELY.

BUT YOU CAN'T ANSWER IT HERE, BUT IT'LL BE TALKING TO THE SAME PEOPLE.

OR WHO WOULD I ASK FOR? BECAUSE THIS IS A PUBLIC, THIS IS, WE CAN ONLY ADDRESS THE AGENDA ITEMS. AND THAT WAS NOT UP FOR PUBLIC DISCUSSION.

WELL, I MIGHT LET, THAT'S SAYING IT WAS ON THE AGENDA AND, AND NOW IT WAS MOVED.

SO I HAVEN'T GOTTEN A REVISED.

I GET A REVISED UNDERSTAND LETTER.

UNDERSTAND.

WILL IT BE MOVED AGAIN? WE HAVE NO IDEA.

IT'S UP TO USUALLY THE, THE APPLICANT'S KIND OF HANDLE THEY REQUEST WHO'S THE APPLICANT? I, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHICH ONE YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH TO BE HONEST WITH YOU BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON OUR AGENDA TONIGHT FOR PUBLIC FORUM.

SO I'LL CALL THE PLANNING.

4 5 3 5 9 4 7 9 0 4 7 9 0.

SAY THAT NUMBER AGAIN.

IT SHOULD BE AT THE TOP OF YOUR LETTER AND IT'S OKAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[00:30:01]
