At its March 26 meeting the Oklahoma City Planning Commission handled a full agenda of plats, rezonings and special permits. Highlights and formal outcomes:
- The commission received the minutes of March 12. (motion carried)
- The consent docket — final plats for Echo Park Phase 3 (KC 7789), Plaza 14 (KC 7790) and Kilpatrick Farms Phase 1 (KC 7791) — was approved as read.
- KC 7792 (Solstice Phase 1 final plat) was approved after the applicant, George Marquez, confirmed agreement with technical evaluations.
- PC10999 (7101 S Indian Meridian) and PC10998 (9008 S Grace Avenue) were recommended to City Council following applicant presentations and commissioner review.

- SBUD 18-15 (extension for Retail Buildings Inc/Brahms Dairy) was recommended to City Council subject to technical evaluations addressing parking, landscaping and signage.
- PUD 21-32 (school expansion) and PUD 21-35 (NW 150th commercial development) were recommended to City Council with read-in technical evaluations.
- CE 11-57 (closure/vacation of multiple alleys and rights-of-way) was recommended to City Council with staff and counsel clarifying that utilities with infrastructure will retain reserved easements.
- Special Permit 606 (athletic-field lighting at Cameron Park) was approved unanimously.
One applicant withdrew a rezoning application for 1201 North Gardner during public comment after neighbors described industrial use and parking impacts; the applicant stated he would withdraw to avoid neighborhood disruption.
Most approvals were recorded by voice vote and the commission used read-in technical evaluations for several PUD and SBUD recommendations. Items continued to future meetings included several rezoning requests the commission said applicants intended to pursue as SPUDs; those items were continued to May 14 to allow submittal and public notice.
