Why it matters: The proposal is one of several new, small-scale infill projects changing the block’s housing mix; proponents said the project conserves a large pecan tree and steps down building mass toward adjacent single-story homes to keep neighborhood character.

Applicant representative described the plan as an eight-unit building that \"wraps\" around an existing pecan tree to preserve it and keep massing lower toward the street. The architect noted the building steps down to two stories at the front to remain consistent with nearby one-story residences. \"If you walk through it it still feels like a neighborhood,\" the applicant said, noting the block had increased from 16 homes to about 56 homes over 15 years through similar infill projects.

Commissioners focused on site-detail questions. Commissioner Govine praised density in the location and the variety of unit types and said he was \"in support.\" Commissioners and the applicant discussed the number and placement of dumpsters, which the applicant said are at least 25 feet from adjacent residences, satisfying PUD requirements. The project team confirmed three dumpster locations: two on the east side at the ends of parking areas and one near the center of the property.

Commissioners also asked about the proposed parking surfacing. The design calls for a decomposed-granite (DG) parking section over filter fabric with compacted road base beneath. The architect said a typical section would be approximately 2–3 inches of compacted base with a 2–3 inch top dressing of DG, and that compaction, containment and installation technique are critical for longevity. The project includes 40% open space overall with at least 20% pervious materials.

After discussion the commission moved and seconded a recommendation of approval. Commissioner Govine made the motion and Commissioner Powers seconded; the chair recorded the voice vote in favor and announced the recommendation for approval. Planning staff noted the specific plan conforms to prior PUD master statements and the master development plan.

Ending: The commission’s recommendation goes to City Council for final action; staff and commissioners encouraged the project team to follow through on the permeable paving and surfacing details in final construction documents.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","OKLAHOMA CITY PLANNING COMMISSION - MAY 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning Commission on May 22 recommended City Council approval of an eight-unit specific-plan (SPUD 17-32) at 1617 Northwest 16th Street that preserves a large pecan tree and reduces building mass along the street.","taxTitle","Other Public Meetings, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma","taxId",69689,"location","Oklahoma","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6228657,"Planning Commission recommends rezoning of NE 60th development after neighbor objections on water, sewage and lot size",1804,2196000,4000000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3469909-4a67f1c5dab8fe65dc1792a74c689f5c&start=2196&end=4000","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3469909-4a67f1c5dab8fe65dc1792a74c689f5c/thumbnail_2196000.jpg","/articles/6228657/Oklahoma/Planning-Commission-recommends-rezoning-of-NE-60th-development-after-neighbor-objections-on-water-sewage-and-lot-size","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6228657-349b0345874373eba01e2af47396a299/orig.mp4?Expires=1770965314&Signature=VEtjd6PukAdaEhei-fGlst5quAt11M9L8hEHmBvMad5b-cWrpu6UjyAulzK3EsHv790p9tkv-UVYg54aF~9LRh3gz186Ty8u0iM6YZFh08CN5AsO9YLA8Ek06hBdaQHqJwEaC7yQUuHa5JtW7u6D~cqdTT0ijXISw2XeXSDFoQkSXziIdxVWeTKRI5DS6spPnaCl-KmghPwYKzo8zCg7jtL8S8LALpMTxljU9P59H5fXd5VjIixPGji~VvNdZhKtgiwA2wGfGnbuikcMPmU0rU5HTHwBdKgSy2LZHG4Jcp9dHDnhsKqvESt1kfSznf2W4c8pGGHA9q2tB3y9BPv~zA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oklahoma City Planning Commission on May 22 recommended that the City Council approve PUD 02/1960 '3, a planned-unit development application for property at and around 6300 Northeast 60 Third Street, subject to technical evaluations that increase minimum lot sizes and add easements for potential future municipal sewer, after about 30 minutes of applicant presentation and roughly 45 minutes of public comment and discussion.

Why it matters: The proposal changes previously proposed lot sizes, infrastructure provisions and maintenance plans and drew multiple residents who said current water, septic and emergency response infrastructure is inadequate for the scale of the project. The commission’s recommendation sends the proposal to City Council, which will make the final decision in coming weeks.

Developer Marcus Uday told the commission the applicant raised minimum lot size from a half-acre to three-quarters of an acre, reducing the number of lots in Track 1 to 77 and Track 2 to nine. \"We have done that. That has brought our total number of lots in Track 1 down to 77, and the total number of lots in Track 2 down to 9,\" Uday said. He also said the developer would provide a sewer easement across each lot to \"anticipate any future extension of the municipal sewer main.\" He added the project will centralize maintenance of the aerobic systems.

Neighbors at the meeting urged the commission to deny rezoning or require stricter conditions. May Burge, who said she lives at 5924 NE 60 Third Street directly in front of the site, said privacy, fire risk and trash were top concerns. \"My concerns are about privacy, number 1. I'm on 10 acres. This backs up to the back of my property,\" Burge said. Lori Turner, at 6000 NE 60 Third Street, said emergency response times and potential impacts to rare biological and cultural resources merited more study: \"The city evidently is not ready for a development like this or they would have already been able to bring out water, sewage, natural gas... This is maybe in a hundred years from now.\"

Other residents told the commission they were worried about aquifer levels and septic systems. Morgan Smith, a resident at 5925 NE 60 Third Street, said well depth has already increased at his home and that additional development could further lower the water table. Bill Bean, who identified his address as 5401 NE 50 Sixth Street, said he feared the rezoning would reduce property values and strain the area’s roads and sewage capacity.

Commissioners and staff pressed the applicant on specific technical evaluations (TEs) and language. Planning staff member Sarah Welch clarified the commission could adopt TE language to define both the sewer easement requirement and a limited exception for narrow lots in Tract 1. After discussion, the commission asked staff to modify TE language so that the easement requirement remains and a new TE would state: \"The minimum lot width within Tract 1 shall be 80 feet, except that up to 5 lots may be a minimum width of 46 feet as indicated on final plats.\" Sarah Welch read the proposed language into the record during the meeting.

Commissioner Noble moved to recommend approval \"with T1 and 2 as read into the record.\" Commissioner Govine seconded the motion. The commission recorded Commissioner Harrison voting \"Aye,\" and the chair later announced, \"That item is recommended for approval.\" Commissioners also reminded neighbors that the recommendation is to City Council and that the council hearing will occur in roughly six to eight weeks for final action.

Context and next steps: The commission’s action was a recommendation only. City Council will hold a separate public hearing and make the final decision. Planning staff also noted that private development typically pays for extensions of water and sewer infrastructure, and that required fire hydrants would be installed to city standards as part of development improvements.

Ending: Residents who oppose or support the rezoning were told to monitor the City Council agenda for the item’s next hearing and to attend if they wish to present additional testimony.","The Oklahoma City Planning Commission on May 22 recommended that City Council approve a planned-unit development at 6300 Northeast 60 Third Street, subject to technical evaluations requiring larger lots, centralized maintenance of aerobic systems and sewer easements for future municipal connections.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6228647,"Commission recommends Quailbrook PUD with amended technical evaluations on density and parking",208,1160000,1368000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3469909-4a67f1c5dab8fe65dc1792a74c689f5c&start=1160&end=1368","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3469909-4a67f1c5dab8fe65dc1792a74c689f5c/thumbnail_1160000.jpg","/articles/6228647/Oklahoma/Commission-recommends-Quailbrook-PUD-with-amended-technical-evaluations-on-density-and-parking","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6228647-d4e73ab8374bf1e2794c3ad0183cbf4f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770965314&Signature=dC~3Fmhj6tnu3RGpZMMrEGWbO6VtsOxGFQW7OjJH4m7kyNuY5rMKVRzxfoPlWeuuU3v2r194YduZp00JPPAUVhMxFfHnpKS9H-6xvsZ1IQrRvyxe1zw0PFJF5lw1FLTg4Fbf76rTKbxKdpJUri92XHf7t2ZhtLkOfdl~lzuP4-AwtYkr-foNVcnUoP3kOksMqjsNPHwESOHCuSO-TKZedNrmX9beFa2bKcbUeBjDmIclcdeKoZ-2A6rSHoJuzMo-VU~48l4XNgn18HdZ8mkpDTyeeUWCB3LRo7WashcWMkNZV7MEwg9Z9MXjziXSYk7n1GM13x4mMlQQ5hjIfZ2ATw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oklahoma City Planning Commission on May 22 recommended that City Council approve PUD 20-66, a proposed multifamily development behind Memorial, after the applicant and commissioners negotiated changes to technical evaluations on open space, density and parking and discussed floodplain and drainage compliance.

Why it matters: The project proposes multifamily housing in an area that transitions from commercial/office frontage to residential behind Memorial. Commissioners probed density, parking and floodplain compliance while the applicant requested deletion of a staff technical evaluation (TE 1) and proposed three replacement TE items.

Applicant representative David Box said the proposal \"will adhere to the drainage ordinance\" and to \"meet all local, state, and federal laws as it relates to developing in and around floodplains and floodways.\" Box said the applicant did not agree to the existing TE 1 but would accept alternate TE language requiring that the PUD provide 20% usable open space, a maximum density of 260 dwelling units and parking at 1.3 spaces per dwelling unit.

Commissioners discussed floodplain issues and the proposed limits. One commissioner noted the proposed maximum density of 260 units yields about 3.3 dwelling units per acre, which remains below the standard R-4 density. After public discussion and staff confirmation that the project would proceed through required public-works reviews, the commission agreed to recommend approval with the amended technical evaluations: delete TE 1; add TE 1: 20% usable open space; TE 2: maximum density 260 units; TE 3: parking 1.3 spaces per unit.

The commission recorded the motion, which was seconded, and the chair announced the item was recommended for approval. The recommendation will be forwarded to City Council for final action.

Ending: Staff noted that the project must still pass engineering and drainage reviews and that any construction within floodplain/floodway areas will be governed by relevant federal and state regulations.","The Planning Commission recommended approval of PUD 20-66, a multifamily PUD behind Memorial featuring a floodplain discussion, after the applicant and commissioners agreed to delete a staff technical evaluation and add conditions setting 20% usable open space, a 260-unit maximum and 1.3 parking spaces per unit.","actionData","errors"]
