Planning Commission approves rezoning for 505 North Boulevard to allow duplex
Summary
The Edmond Planning Commission voted 5-0 on Nov. 5, 2024 to approve rezoning case Z24-14, changing 505 North Boulevard from an A (single-family) district to a B (two-family) district to allow a duplex; staff and the Central Edmond Urban District Board recommended approval and the item was referred to the city commission/council (referral date not specified in the transcript).
The Edmond Planning Commission voted 5-0 on Nov. 5, 2024 to approve rezoning case Z24-14 for 505 North Boulevard, changing the property’s zoning from A (single-family dwelling) to B (two-family dwelling) to permit a duplex on the site.
Becca, a city staff member, briefed the commission on the proposal, saying the applicant seeks "approval of a rezoning from A single family to B, 2 family" for the 14,000-square-foot lot on the west side of North Boulevard between Thatcher and Wayne and intends to construct a second residence within the existing dwelling. Becca said the existing structure is nonconforming to the B-district setbacks and "is not allowed to expand that nonconformity," and that the Edmond Plan 2018 classifies the parcel as an "urban neighborhood," a designation that supports increased density as a transition between the downtown core and suburban areas. She also noted that the Central Edmond Urban District Board reviewed and recommended approval on Oct. 15 and that staff recommended approval.
Commissioners did not pose substantive questions after the staff presentation, and the Chair stated the applicant would "rely upon the statements of city staff." The Chair then moved to approve the rezoning and a second was stated on the record; the commission approved the motion by a 5-0 vote. The Chair announced that the matter will be forwarded for consideration before the city commission or city council; the transcript references a hearing "on the 20" and variously "the 20 fifth," but the exact referral date and which body (city commission or city council) the Chair intended are not specified in the record.
The action changes the formal zoning designation of 505 North Boulevard from single-family to two-family, allowing the property owner to establish a duplex subject to applicable setback and building regulations for the B district. No public comments, oppositions, or conditions were recorded during the meeting. The commission adjourned immediately after the vote.
Next steps: the rezoning will be placed on the agenda of the city-level governing body for final consideration as indicated in the transcript; the exact date and target body were not specified on the record.
