Neighbors object as commission hears rezoning request for 1 North Mountain View Road
Summary
Staff presented a rezoning request to change 1 North Mountain View Road from GA to R2A; residents raised traffic and property‑value concerns and commissioners recorded a motion to approve, but no vote tally was read on the record in the transcript.
EDMOND, Okla. — The Edmond Planning Commission on Feb. 3 heard a request to rezone roughly 4.8 acres at 1 North Mountain View Road from GA (general agriculture) to R2A (suburban estate district).
City staff described adjacent zoning and uses and recommended approval, saying the R2A district allows single‑family detached dwellings consistent with nearby residential development. The parcel lies west of Mountain View Road north of Second Street.
Several nearby residents said they oppose the rezoning. Mary Davis, who lives at 1301 Sleepy Hollow Road, said the proposal would allow uses inappropriate for the area and cited a 2016 traffic study that graded the Danforth and Sooner intersection poorly: "Any more traffic to come off of I‑35 of that area is not going to be good," she said. Other residents also called out existing traffic backups and said the change could hurt home values.
A commissioner recorded a motion and second to approve the rezoning, but the transcript does not contain an on‑the‑record vote tally or an explicit statement that the item was adopted. The commission proceeded to subsequent agenda items.
The record shows substantial neighborhood concern about traffic and compatibility; if the commission or the applicant takes the item forward, the City Council will hold the final public hearing.
