OnCue Kelly and Covell Edmond: What Was Approved

The OnCue planned for the southeast corner of Kelly and Covell is approved. On Nov. 9, 2026, the Edmond City Council voted 5-0 on a driveway-spacing variance and then 5-0 on the site plan for OnCue #156.

If you live in Coffee Creek, Covell Village, Thomas Trails, Hawks Landing or Westborough, this is the first commercial piece of the Honeyfield development to reach that corner. A new gas station going in down the street tends to get noticed, right?

Here's what the city approved, what's still unknown, and what sits around the Kelly and Covell development. Facts are as of Nov. 10, 2026, from the city's agenda packets and the council meeting video.

What the Council Decided

Meeting: Edmond City Council, Monday, Nov. 9, 2026, agenda item 3H.
Case: SP25-00017, a site plan for OnCue #156 at the southeast corner of Kelly and Covell. Applicant: Johnson & Associates. Ward 1.
Vote 1: a variance to Title 21, Section 21.02.010, which requires 325 feet of separation between driveways. Approved 5-0.
Vote 2: the site plan with the variance. Approved 5-0.
Before that: the Planning Commission heard the case Oct. 20, 2026, and unanimously recommended approval. City staff also recommended approval.

The item is listed on the city's Nov. 9 council agenda, and the discussion is on the official meeting video starting at about the 24:58 mark. The council's official minutes haven't been posted yet, so the vote counts here come from that video.

The New OnCue Site at a Glance

These details come from the Oct. 20 staff memo and the site plan sheet in the Planning Commission agenda packet, plus the Nov. 9 council packet.

Lot: about 5.1 acres, currently vacant. It's part of the approved Honeyfield preliminary plat (PR23-00017).
Building: 9,470 square feet, 26 feet to the top of the parapet. The fuel canopy is 22 feet tall.
Fuel: the site plan sheet labels the canopy with 12 pumps (12 dispensers). The staff memo itself doesn't give a pump count.
Parking: 42 spaces, two stacking spaces at each fuel pump, at least four stacking spaces in the drive-thru, plus bike parking.
Access: four driveways, two on Covell Road and two on Kelly Avenue.
Look: mostly pale yellow and tan brick, charcoal block accents, red and bronze storefront, and a metal-roof fuel canopy.
Lighting: light poles up to 24 feet in drive aisles and 12 feet in pedestrian areas. Staff said light levels at the property line meet city requirements.
Utilities and drainage: public water extends south along Kelly to the southern edge of the site, sewer comes up from the south along Kelly, and an on-site detention pond handles stormwater.
Signs: monument, fuel and wall signs are proposed and will be permitted separately.
Zoning: PUD Z22-00035, Kelly Corner, as amended.

The Driveway Variance in Plain Words

Edmond's subdivision code calls for 325 feet between un-signalized driveways. The OnCue plan has four driveways, two on each road, and the design doesn't meet that spacing. Staff supported the variance.

At the Nov. 9 meeting, the city's Development Services director added a key detail. The variance is for the distance between the proposed driveways. The distance from the intersection to the first driveway meets the code.

Plain and simple: the exception is about spacing between the store's own driveways, not about putting a driveway closer to the intersection than code allows.

Council handled it the way the packet laid out. Variance first, then the site plan. Both passed without a no vote.

How OnCue Fits Into Honeyfield

The council staff memo calls OnCue part of the ongoing Honeyfield development and the first commercial business there to submit for approval.

The bigger picture is in the city's Jan. 6, 2026 Planning Commission memo on the amended Kelly Corner PUD. It describes about 150 acres on the southeast corner of Kelly and Covell, laid out like this:

Commercial and mixed use, about 30 acres: along Kelly and Covell. Allowed uses include retail, offices, lodging and a convenience store with fuel sales.
Apartments, 14.38 acres: along Covell, where the Monarch at Honeyfield site plan was approved.
Homes, 48.38 acres: single-family homes, mansion houses and townhouses, up to 300 units, in the interior.
Townhomes, 1.57 acres: up to 20 units.
Senior housing, 19.48 acres: low-rise two-family homes for seniors only, up to 130 units, on the south end.
Common areas: five of them, 18.37 acres in all.

The same memo says the amendment increased sensitive border standards along the eastern property line, which is the Thomas Trails side.

Connections came up at the Nov. 9 hearing too. A resident asked whether the OnCue site would connect to the development around it. The applicant's engineer from Johnson & Associates said the plan shows connections on the east side for future projects, and that the drive at the far southwest corner will also be used by other development in the area.

Timeline and What Happens Next

Jan. 6, 2026: Planning Commission memo on the amended Kelly Corner PUD.
Oct. 20, 2026: Planning Commission unanimously recommends the OnCue site plan.
Nov. 9, 2026: City Council approves the variance 5-0 and the site plan 5-0.
Next: the packet says site plan approval is necessary for the applicant to proceed with development. Signs get their own permits.

Watching the rest of Honeyfield is the part that matters for nearby owners. The city's DevTrack map and agendas are the place to see the next filings, and my guide to tracking what is being built in Edmond walks through how to use them.

What's Still Unknown

Construction start: not in the city's agenda documents.
Opening date: not in the city's agenda documents either.
Pump count: the site plan sheet shows 12, but the staff memo doesn't state one, and final construction plans can differ from a site plan sheet.
The rest of Honeyfield's commercial frontage: the PUD allows a range of uses there, and no other Honeyfield commercial site plan was on the Nov. 9 agenda.

What's Near Kelly and Covell

Neighborhoods

The city's PUD memo names the neighbors around Kelly Corner: Thomas Trails to the east, Hawks Landing and Westborough to the south, Covell Village across Kelly to the west, and the Coffee Creek mixed-use area on the north side of Covell.

Oklahoma County Assessor subdivision records show these residential additions within about a mile of the corner:

Coffee Creek, north and northeast: Prairie Village, Ash Grove, Carriage Park, Stonebrook and Heritage Green at Coffee Creek, Coffee Creek I, and Parkview at Touchmark at Coffee Creek.
Covell Village, west and southwest: Newbrook, Pembroke and Glen Cove at Covell Village.
East and south: Thomas Trails, Hawks Landing and Westborough.
A little farther west and north: Cheyenne Crossing, Hunters Pointe and Hunters Creek.

Schools

Cheyenne Middle School, 1271 W. Covell Road, sits on the north side of Covell just west of Kelly. John Ross Elementary, 1901 Thomas Drive, and Edmond North High School, 215 W. Danforth Road, are both within about a mile. Addresses are from federal NCES school records.

Nearby isn't the same as assigned. Edmond Public Schools assigns by home address, so use the district's attendance boundary information for any specific house. The Assessor lists the Honeyfield land at this corner in the Edmond #12 tax district.

Parks and Trails

Mitch Park, 1501 W. Covell Road, is across the intersection to the northwest. The city lists it at 280 acres with five miles of paved multi-use trails, two playgrounds, a disc golf course, a skate park, an amphitheater and an athletic complex. The Edmond Senior Center, the Mitch Park YMCA and the city's Multi-Activity Center are there too.

The city's 2026 Edmond Trails Map adds two short links right off this corner. The 2-mile Coffee Creek Trail starts by heading north on the Kelly Avenue sidepath and turning east at Prairie Village Drive. The half-mile Thomas Trail runs south from the Covell Road sidepath to Westborough Park, a small neighborhood park.

Shopping and Services

Assessor records put Lowe's at 2401 N. Kelly Ave. and the Market Square at Covell Village commercial plats on the southwest corner, with RCB Bank at 855 W. Covell Road on the northeast corner and the Village Center at Coffee Creek commercial plats along the north side of Covell and the east side of Kelly north of the intersection. OpenStreetMap shows a Walgreens on the southwest corner.

Major Roads

Kelly Avenue and Covell Road meet right at the site. Danforth Road is about a mile south, Santa Fe Avenue about a mile west, Coffee Creek Road about a mile north and Broadway about a mile east.

The Bottom Line

The new OnCue at Kelly and Covell cleared council with two unanimous votes. It's the first commercial building in Honeyfield, and the PUD leaves room for more commercial along both roads plus several hundred homes, apartments and senior units behind it.

If you live around this corner, the next Honeyfield filings are the ones to watch. What would you most like to see on the rest of that frontage?
