Planning Commission, 2/12/26

The City of Norman Planning Commission held a meeting on February 12, 2026, focusing primarily on zoning amendments and planned unit development (PUD) projects. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a simple planned unit development (SPUD) rezoning for properties between Shiakwa and College along Hoover Street, involving 108 one-bedroom condominium units with 109 parking spaces and underground stormwater detention. The commission also approved an amendment to the Center City Planned Unit Development (CCPUD) ordinance to allow expansion of the Noun Hotel, including additional guest rooms and associated amenities, with attention to stormwater management and landscaping. Both projects involved public comments addressing concerns about building heights, setbacks, parking, and neighborhood impact. Additionally, the commission discussed traffic signal warranting studies for intersections impacted by large developments, authorizing a professional services agreement for signal design funded by traffic impact fees. Motions to approve the zoning amendments passed unanimously, while two other PUD items were postponed to a future meeting. Overall, the meeting addressed significant urban infill development projects with implications for procurement of design, engineering, and construction services.
