Project Summary:
Under the original Duncan PUD, overhead power lines are limited to the perimeter of the development and the north south arterial, Landing Boulevard. The developer is requesting approval to allow overhead power lines along Ervin Street, an east west arterial roadway that traverses the northern portion of the Duncan PUD, utilizing concrete poles.
The Unified Development Code permits overhead power lines by right along all arterial roadways citywide and along the perimeter of master planned developments. However, the original Duncan PUD imposed more restrictive standards by limiting overhead power to Landing Boulevard and the perimeter of the development. This restriction effectively prohibited overhead power along other arterial roadways within the Duncan PUD, including Ervin Street. The proposed PUD amendment would remove this limitation and bring the Duncan PUD into alignment with the UDC and with other arterial roadways throughout the City. Existing segments of Ervin Street located east of the Duncan PUD are currently served by overhead power on concrete poles. Future portions of Ervin Street to the west are also currently planned to be served by concrete poles.
As a compensating benefit, the developer has agreed to construct the remaining two lanes of Hobbs Road, from Ervin Street to Buckeye Drive, improving the traffic and circulation within the Duncan PUD and the surrounding communities.
On February 12, 2026, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval, 6-0-0. No people spoke at the public hearing.
