Commission recommends 16.5‑acre PUD on Air Depot Boulevard with reduced height and no hotel use
Summary
The commission recommended rezoning ~16.5 acres at Danforth and Air Depot Boulevard to a PUD allowing townhomes and limited corner commercial uses, approving an amendment to limit Tract 1 to one story and to remove hotel/motel as an allowed use; the measure advances to City Council on Feb. 9, 2026.
The Edmond Planning Commission on Jan. 20 voted 5–0 to recommend a planned unit development (PUD) rezoning for roughly 16.5 acres at the southeast corner of Danforth and Air Depot Boulevard, subject to applicant amendments that reduced the maximum height on the commercial corner and removed hotel/motel as an allowed use.
Staff said the PUD divides the property into two tracks: Track 1 (about 2.3 acres) at the arterial intersection intended for limited commercial and civic uses, and Track 2 (about 14 acres) for single-family residential/townhome development with a minimum lot width and tree-preservation transitions to surrounding neighborhoods. Staff recommended approval as consistent with Edmond’s S2 suburban neighborhood planning classification.
Mark Zitzow, presenting for the applicant, said the project was refiled to allow townhomes rather than duplexes and stressed a commitment to tree preservation and buffering along Air Depot Boulevard. Zitzow proposed and the commission accepted an amendment to reduce the maximum building height on Tract 1 from three stories to one story and the applicant agreed to eliminate hotel/motel from the list of allowed uses on the design statement.
Commissioners asked about lot sizes, buffering and tree preservation; the applicant said the PUD commits to the city's tree-preservation standards and described a heavy wooded buffer along the street to minimize public views into the residential tract.
The motion to approve the rezoning (Z25-26) with the proposed amendments passed 5–0. The recommendation will be forwarded to City Council on Feb. 9, 2026.
