Did this proposal go to the Urban Design Committee or were these meetings put on hold?

The demolition and plans to rebuild are still pending; have not been approved.

The demolition and plans to rebuild are still pending; have not been approved.

It looks like the demolition was approved, but the rebuilding was denied. Original minutes are at https://agenda.okc.gov/sirepub/mtgvi...octype=MINUTES, but here's the gist.


UDCA-20-00009, at 1400 NW 23rd St (NW 23rd Street Uptown). Consideration and possible action on an application by Robert Haggard for Fong Jordan, to: 1) Demolish existing building and site improvements; 2) Construct new building (variance required from maximum front yard setback requirement); 3) Construct parking lot; 4) Construct sidewalks; 5) Install lighting; 6) Install landscaping; and 7) Construct fences; and provide a recommendation to the Board of Adjustment regarding a variance from the maximum front yard setback regulation.

Applicant Robert Haggard commented on the project.

Property owner Fong Jordan commented on the project.

A quorum roll call was made at 3:23 p.m. with all members present.

Motion: Blatt/Guillory to approve items 1.a. and 1.b. of the application and deny items 2.a., 3.a., 4.a., 5.a., 6.a., 7.a., and 7.b.

This is decent news. They denied the actual strip mall as proposed. They also denied the variance request for moving the maximum set back which is fantastic. At the end of the day I’m pretty happy with the outcome of this one at this point.

Yep, UDC did what they should've, glad to see that, hopefully it portends well for future plans for that property.
