The rezoning was requested to limit development entitlements on the site to the billboard only; the motion to approve carried 5-0. The staff presentation described the parcel as vacant and showed the proposed sign location and orientation. Laura Hoggett, planning department staff, presented the item and answered technical questions from the commission.

Applicant representative David Box said the SPUD was limited to the billboard and that the application met required spacing rules. \"We meet all state, and local spacing requirements as it relates to billboards,\" Box said during his presentation. He added the two faces of the digital sign were angled to reduce visual impacts: \"The north face angles kind of north northeast and the south face angles south southeast.\" Sean Whistler, identified as the operator of the billboard, attended with Box but did not speak on the record.

A nearby resident, Leslie Bennett Webb of 3200 Regal Run Drive, who described herself as a neighbor to the west, spoke during the public-comment portion and asked two questions: \"What will the billboard say?\" and whether the applicant could provide \"some kind of hint for the plans for the rest of that property?\" Box offered to meet with Webb after the meeting to discuss future plans and to answer the content question privately; no billboard messaging was stated on the record.

Commissioners asked no additional questions and there was no written protest filed on the item. The commission approved the ordinance changing the zoning classification by voice vote; the clerk reported \"it carries 5 to 0.\" The action was a rezoning to a SPUD limited to the billboard; no other development approvals or building permits were granted as part of this vote.

The approval leaves the underlying parcel designated for a single billboard under SPUD controls; any later development beyond the SPUD’s scope would require separate review. No timetable for sign construction or installation was presented at the meeting.

Meeting context: the item was heard as the non-consent item following the consent docket; the applicant and an adjacent neighbor spoke, and staff indicated they were available for follow-up. No formal conditions beyond the SPUD were stated on the record.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","July Planning Commission, 7/10/25","oneSentenceSummary","The Norman Planning Commission on an evening meeting approved a rezoning from C-1 Local Commercial to a Simple Planned Unit Development to allow a digital billboard on a 0.1-acre portion of a vacant parcel at the southwest corner of Stony Brook Drive and North Interstate Drive.","taxTitle","Norman, Cleveland County, Oklahoma","taxId",2684,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6175038,"Commission notes AIM Norman-driven withdrawals, postponement of Ironwood Hills and release of HUD-funded planning RFPs",574,576000,1394,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5362571-bc1deebdbed096defa4f2f60c7e9d744&start=576&end=1","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5362571-bc1deebdbed096defa4f2f60c7e9d744/thumbnail_576000.jpg","/articles/6175038/Norman/Cleveland-County/Oklahoma/Commission-notes-AIM-Norman-driven-withdrawals-postponement-of-Ironwood-Hills-and-release-of-HUD-funded-planning-RFPs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6175038-3d0a445665a43d3636a87088aea8f583/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156296&Signature=G1fUvQXCR1OJ2jlPHWcVXGi003avUy9igxwRgVpauFzHp6L-xI2RxK3NOP6dOnNFnJKOJTn2X-~0JawN8Mgc7vaDhiwjkJivQWVm1KHCGHYNEv77dzZyKr0OSc4W-h65S2m6T67xpCoqOIz3uDRNsag2MaoLSB-QGE-60ir536rNcpXbBHjOfkEj0tAnb9PHZO9L4fH2Il09BkgbkvLqe41HqWIdqDikX4KWi3Xh8AxObPZcxpkA-XDJjmQ0aPo~RhLk7B-rNqbs8xhttcQifWzd7E1TssgIQBox2sK~siQ0Eo5yghmF2dTO4gWZ2sQjbyR1lJKEPjX-WC9rQceYRw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Norman Planning Commission on the meeting noted several non-decision updates: two proposed land-use amendments were withdrawn as moot after the city adopted the AIM Norman comprehensive plan on June 24, 2025; a separate planned-unit-development application for Ironwood Hills was postponed at the applicant’s request to the Sept. 11, 2025 planning commission meeting; and planning staff announced that the city released a request for proposals for a development-code update and parking study funded through a HUD Pro Housing grant.

Staff said the RFP is posted on the city’s RFP web page and that the Pro Housing grant funded four projects in total. Planning staff identified two other HUD-funded projects alongside the development-code update and parking study: an affordable housing action plan and a pattern/pre-approved plan book (described in the meeting as a \"pre-approved plan\" or pattern book). Staff asked the commission to expect outreach and possible feedback requests in the coming months as those projects start.

On the agenda: two items amending the land-use and transportation plan were withdrawn \"as moot due to the adoption of the AIM Norman comprehensive land use plan, adopted on 06/24/2025,\" according to the chair. Later, the applicant for a PUD (Ironwood Hills) asked for postponement; the commission approved the postponement to the Sept. 11, 2025 meeting by voice vote with the clerk recording that all votes had been cast and the motion carried.

Staff did not present timelines or budgets for the HUD-funded projects at the meeting beyond noting the RFP release and project titles. Commission discussion on these information items was brief and no formal motions other than the postponement were made.

Meeting context: these items were handled in a brief miscellaneous discussion at the end of the agenda; withdrawal and postponement items were procedural and did not include public comment.","Two land-use items were withdrawn after the city adopted the AIM Norman comprehensive plan; the Ironwood Hills PUD was postponed to Sept. 11, 2025; and planning staff announced a HUD-funded RFP for a development code update and parking study.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6175043,"Commission approves SPUD and preliminary plat for mixed commercial-residential project on Classen Boulevard",240,716000,956000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5362571-bc1deebdbed096defa4f2f60c7e9d744&start=716&end=956","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5362571-bc1deebdbed096defa4f2f60c7e9d744/thumbnail_716000.jpg","/articles/6175043/Norman/Cleveland-County/Oklahoma/Commission-approves-SPUD-and-preliminary-plat-for-mixed-commercial-residential-project-on-Classen-Boulevard","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6175043-afb23e90c00325984f1a2dd7a222b0b3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156296&Signature=B0DEwKvY~bQRaot6YqFr-u6GmFkBH~qwNK7NfPnwY0cv272Ce~aX8r2KMDyMwZsAgR~Llg-buQ6irUGsSyTv5JxaiVvf-lGAwcA2RUSD9JysiMcv-hKrzg1~XhuRV1VfR60yLMS4HO9OluTJA-py47XhiFVP3K952KvPWxAG1obgxs3apbXMqBRUGMEbEpToFxLIEvsSme~6Tv~LwHVj4h6PsDf91tcYOfws40~FI6GwfQb7lOetGhZszs9TwbVwg8tFDP3V1fTWwdvyiwCjwqVjRioL-aHAd9jGc6UQUbWEnb6SK3nAHlhHWSmrt6dTk5bMf6WQDvCV8O2v~jlsNQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Norman Planning Commission voted to rezone 2880 and 2886 Classen Boulevard from C-2 General Commercial to a Simple Planned Unit Development and approved a preliminary plat for a mixed commercial-residential project that includes two commercial buildings fronting Classen Boulevard and 10 duplex structures totaling 18 dwelling units behind them.

Planning staff presented the request and noted the proposal’s consistency with the AIM Norman comprehensive land-use plan adopted June 24, 2025. Justin Fish of the planning department described surrounding land uses: rural agriculture to the north, commercial to the east and south, and multifamily and parkland to the west across the railroad tracks.

Applicant representative Sean Reager summarized the project as a small, mixed-use development similar to a nearby Classen Crossings project. He said the plat shows retail/office/service space along Classen Boulevard and residential units buffered behind the higher-intensity frontage. \"We had an extensive staff report that found that we were in compliance or consistent with everything in the AIM plan,\" Reager said, noting staff’s locational criteria encouraging residential uses behind higher-intensity commercial frontage.

The applicant described the commercial buildings as two small strip centers with about five tenant doors each, intended for small retailers or local \"mom-and-pop\" businesses. Reager said no specific tenants had been identified on the record.

No neighbors appeared at the predevelopment meeting and no formal protests were filed. Commissioners asked a question about the commercial buildings’ intended uses; the applicant said the units are expected to be small commercial storefronts. The commission approved both the ordinance rezoning the site and the preliminary plat by voice vote; the clerk recorded the tally as \"it carries 5 to 0.\" No conditions beyond those in staff’s report were stated on the record.

The approved preliminary plat establishes one lot that allows the mixed-use arrangement; subsequent approvals such as building permits and final platting will be required before construction. Engineering staff and planning staff were present for technical questions during the hearing, and the applicant said they were available for follow-up inquiries.

Meeting context: the item was considered after two items that had been withdrawn as moot following adoption of the AIM Norman plan; the applicant and staff presented and no public speakers appeared.","The planning commission approved rezoning of 2880–2886 Classen Boulevard from C-2 to a SPUD and a preliminary plat allowing two commercial buildings along Classen Boulevard and 10 duplexes totaling 18 dwelling units behind them; staff found the proposal consistent with the AIM Norman comprehensive plan and the vote was 5-0.","actionData","errors"]
