Commission approves minor PUD amendment to ease landscaping and grant parking relief for 2900 West Main
Summary
The Planning Commission approved a minor amendment to PUD 98 to modify landscape buffering and grant parking relief for lots 11–13 in the 2900 West Main development, allowing Bridging Hunger to retain additional parking for volunteer-driven distribution; staff and representatives from both projects signaled agreement.
The City of Jenks Planning Commission approved Minor Amendment No. 1 to PUD 98, which amends landscape-code requirements and grants parking relief for lots 11, 12 and 13 of block one in the 2900 West Main plat.
Mrs. Hilton, the presenting planner, described the item as a response to changes in code requirements that occurred after original site approvals and explained that Motorsports Collective’s building and Bridging Hunger’s parking lie close to a shared property line. She said staff and the applicants worked to balance buffer plantings and parking needs and recommended approval, noting that Bridging Hunger operates with a large volunteer base and sometimes needs extra parking for vans and trailers.
"I will recommend that they allow you to keep the parking," Mrs. Hilton told the commission, citing the organization’s regional volunteer-driven distribution model and the practical need for nearby staging and unloading. She said staff asked Bridging Hunger to provide justification for the relief and that the groups negotiated reduced transition-area buffering and targeted plantings in lieu of the full code layout.
Representatives from Bridging Hunger and Motorsports Collective were present and indicated they were in agreement with the proposed changes. Commissioners acknowledged prior agreements for buffers (including what had been negotiated with Speech & Beyond) and signaled support for the amendment.
A motion to approve JZ 26 PUD 98 minor amendment No. 1 passed on the recorded voice vote (Bowman: yes; Sellers: yes; Williams: yes; Jay West: yes). The amendment allows the applicant to retain the additional parking pending submittal of the justification materials and implements the agreed modifications to the landscaping/transition area along the shared boundary.
Staff emphasized that the amendment addresses practical needs for Bridging Hunger’s operations while preserving negotiated buffering where previously agreed.
