Planning commission approves three site plans — Integris, First Fidelity, Panda Express — sends Integris to council

The Edmond Planning Commission approved three site plan applications on April 22, 2025, voting unanimously on each item.

Integris Medical Office (case SP20Four-sixteen) was approved by a 4-0 vote and will move to the City Council meeting of May 12, 2025. City staff said the project site is approximately 4.4 acres on the south side of Integris Parkway, east of I-35, in an E-1 PUD zone within the I-35 Corridor District. The proposed building is described as about 58,000 square feet and between 50 and 59 feet tall; access will be provided via two driveways onto Integris Parkway. The applicant requested a variance to omit the required sidewalks along Integris Parkway; staff said pedestrian connectivity is provided internally across the campus and staff recommended approval of the variance. A second variance — to allow a fee in lieu of onsite stormwater detention — was recommended for approval by the Stormwater Drainage Advisory Board in December 2024; staff recommended approval of the site plan subject to the variances.

First Fidelity Bank (case SP24-twenty3), a proposed bank at 1109 North Kelly, was approved 4-0. Staff said the approximately 1.6-acre site is on the west side of Kelly, south of Danforth, in the PUD Edmond Town Center district. The site plan is for a roughly 5,000-square-foot building with a covered drive-through, a pitched roof and brick-and-stone facade; the proposed height is about 33 feet. Staff recommended approval and no public comments were recorded.

Panda Express (case SP24Dash00024), proposed on about 1.2 acres on the south side of Covell Road west of Sooner, was approved 4-0. Staff described a roughly 2,800-square-foot building with a drive-through, 23 feet tall, with brick and composite cladding and metal accents. Access is provided by on-site driveways and the overall development was described as providing connections to both Covell and Sooner.

All three site-plan items received no public comments at the planning commission meeting and were approved after staff presentations and motions from commissioners. For the Integris Medical Office, the staff presentation noted the stormwater variance recommendation from the Stormwater Drainage Advisory Board (December 2024). For First Fidelity and Panda Express, staff recommended approval and the motions passed 4-0; those two items were recorded as concluding at the planning commission level without a specified council date in the transcript.
