Edmond overwhelmingly approves new developments. Look at stuff downtown. Or on 5th and broadway. Or at I-35 and Covell. Or at Kelly and Covell, or along I-35 near 15th. Or at 100s of other spots around town. Denials are the exception, not the rule, and they're usually for a good reason. So just taking the time, being skeptical, and reviewing the process IS smart. It's amazing. The same posters I see posting in other OKC threads about bad developments, or buildings not high enough, or ugly designs, or poor use, or whatever, will come in here and complain that Edmond doesn't just rubber stamp every development. Well, I say "good". Of course, I live here and I am personally invested in Edmond remaining it's status as one of, if not the best, suburb in Oklahoma. We have standards.
