City planning staff said the applicant requested rezoning from DO Suburban Office to PUD Z24-00018 for an approximately 3-acre property. The proposed PUD would allow two residential-style assisted-living buildings, each with a maximum of 16 units, for a total of up to 32 units. Staff recommended approval and noted required setbacks to protect adjacent properties: 45 feet from the north and 70 feet from the east. The north and east boundaries would be screened by a six-foot-tall site-proof security fence.

Staff and the applicant discussed site access at length. Becca said staff had “extensive conversations with the applicant regarding driveway access to the property.” Todd McInnis, who identified himself as representing the applicant, told the commission the team had sought a median cut on Mill Valley Boulevard and had reached out to the Mill Valley homeowners association. McInnis said the Mill Valley HOA appears to have ceased formal operations and that, if agreement on a median cut cannot be reached, the applicant “has agreed to work with city staff to find the safest option for a potential drive off Santa Fe Avenue, which will occur during the site plan process.”

McInnis also emphasized practical constraints: without a curb cut on Mill Valley or Santa Fe, commercial sanitation trucks would be unable to service the site. “Sanitation access into this site without a curb cut either on Santa Fe or some access on Mill Valley is virtually impossible because there's no way for a commercial sanitation truck to even get into our site,” he said. He added that the applicant may return with a site-plan application and that access could be adjusted during that process.

Commissioners asked about preserving existing trees on the east boundary; an unnamed commissioner noted healthy trees and asked whether they would be retained. Commissioners and the applicant discussed the previous driveway location and recent sidewalk improvements that may affect curb-cut availability.

A commissioner moved to approve the rezoning; the motion passed by a 4-0 vote. The commission’s approval will be forwarded to the Edmond City Council for consideration at the Feb. 10, 2025 City Council meeting. No formal conditions beyond the PUD text and the noted setbacks and screening were recorded in the hearing minutes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Edmond - Planning Commission - Feb 04, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Edmond Planning Commission voted 4-0 on Feb. 4 to approve rezoning (Z24-00018) for Kind Enterprises to allow two assisted-living buildings totaling up to 32 units; commissioners and the applicant discussed driveway access and coordination with the Mill Valley HOA.","taxTitle","Edmond, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma","taxId",2681,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":44,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6680852,"Edmond planning commission approves amendments to remove racist language from three historic plats",301,107000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2220215-77ea37827e280b81a51625f4e54cac7c&start=107&end=408","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2220215-77ea37827e280b81a51625f4e54cac7c/thumbnail_107000.jpg","/articles/6680852/Edmond/Oklahoma-County/Oklahoma/Edmond-planning-commission-approves-amendments-to-remove-racist-language-from-three-historic-plats","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6680852-cb7164d9a0b5c565aa2fba8a91ca30be/orig.mp4?Expires=1775344660&Signature=eblv0-Km8178k2OBO14gfTAtMI5258rK8ehQATNFY2NkRw8nuuXlL67FhmEQlWMY-4OAadyd5kGC93JFrFhhFhY033BZjftpkl7FBYogx0FZjsYX0~APVnh5do6seO0DyTyrEpwVV0qzVL3rGFsajfWtGMUinpNpJZAGu4X8PtsG7kq2xgBpOVbYLued94kFH3RF09~wRx7vm~zp1yrF2le5GKKYCFiYP2B8E1MFr6D1pcoI8F~kDyiPVcDcqttxmOtANzYVQObiaM~VCF1rfpBSAEwN3eMkDUu5b4prwysGcEQiVF1YyEtCtLhajDXPYmV4wqOzT7j1h5vDpCKbDg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Edmond Planning Commission on Feb. 4 approved amended final plats for three historic Edmond subdivisions to remove language that restricted ownership or occupancy by race.

City planning staff presented amendments to the Campbell South Edition, Levitt's North Park edition and the Reynolds edition that strike language declaring that lots be “owned, used, or occupied” only by persons of certain races. Becca, a city planning presenter, told commissioners the amendments respond to a change in state law and are part of a broader effort to correct offensive, unenforceable language in older plats.

The changes follow Senate Bill 1617, which amended state statute and went into effect in November 2024 to allow municipalities to remove discriminatory language recorded in historical plats. “The applicant, the City of Edmond, is proposing to amend and remove illegal and discriminatory language from the [plat],” Becca said when introducing the Campbell South Edition amendment.

The Campbell South Edition plat covers property on the north side of 15th Street between Broadway and Boulevard up to 10th Street; staff said it is mostly in single-family zoning with a small portion of commercial along 15th Street. The Levitt's North Park edition covers property on the north side of Memorial including Jordan and Rhode Island avenues and contains commercial zoning along Memorial and single-family to the north. The Reynolds edition is between Broadway and Littler Avenue between Ninth and Twelfth streets and includes a mixture of single-family and commercial zoning. Staff told commissioners the amendments remove language that, among other phrasing, restricted use or ownership to “Caucasian and American Indian” races or barred people “of African descent.”

A commissioner moved to approve each amended final plat and the motions passed unanimously, 4-0, for each case. The commission recorded approval for Campbell South Edition (case EPC20-47), Levitt's North Park (case EPC24-8) and Reynolds edition (case EPC20-49); each will be transmitted to the Edmond City Council for final consideration at the Feb. 24 City Council meeting.

Becca told the commission these three are among roughly 20 plats the city is amending to remove offensive language. No public opposition or substantial public comment was recorded on the three items during the hearing.

Commissioners and staff said the amendments remove language that is unconstitutional and unenforceable but did not propose additional substantive changes to land use or zoning beyond the plat text edits. The commission’s action was procedural approval of the amended final plats; final recordation and any associated ministerial steps will follow council action.

Two related scheduling notes were announced earlier in the meeting: one rezoning matter (case Z24-00013) was withdrawn and another rezoning (case Z24-19) was continued to March 4, 2025.","The Edmond Planning Commission voted 4-0 on Feb. 4 to approve amended final plats for Campbell South Edition, Levitt's North Park and Reynolds editions to remove unconstitutional, discriminatory language; the changes will go to the City Council on Feb. 24.","actionData","errors"]
