Council approves PUD rezoning for 55+ community at 'The Stables at Hallmark'

The Edmond City Council on May 11 voted 5–0 to adopt an ordinance rezoning roughly 9 acres near Bryant Avenue as a planned unit development called The Stables at Hallmark.

Ken Bryan, director of planning, told the council the proposed PUD authorizes multifamily and limited commercial uses while capping most interior buildings at 30 feet and limiting residential development to a 55-and-over community with a maximum of 60 units. Planning commission recommended approval.

Todd McKinnis, who identified himself as the applicant’s representative, said the application refines a PUD approved in 2023 and clarifies allowed uses and development standards. He told the council there are no additional variances in the new PUD and that the application conforms to the city’s plan categories.

A local resident, Dan O’Neil, raised practical concerns about whether required notice signs had been posted and whether the project would use a private road maintained by the homeowners association. “I noticed that there was not a sign posted,” O’Neil said, asking staff and the developer to confirm compliance with notice requirements. Applicant representatives said they had supplied photo evidence that signs had been posted within the required period and said they would re‑check the site.

Council members also asked about trash service and coordination with neighboring Oklahoma City for utilities; staff replied that the city expects standard sanitation arrangements by ordinance and that water/sewer responsibilities differ across the boundary.

The council approved the ordinance and the motion to rezone the property passed unanimously. The approval included conditions and standard coordination with engineering on signalization and other infrastructure tied to future phases of development.

Next steps: The applicant will proceed with final plats and development permitting in coordination with city engineering and planning, and staff will continue to work with neighbors on driveway, signage and drainage details.
