Community Dialogue: High Density - General Orientation and Introduction
201 West Gray, Municipal Building Chambers: Meeting 1 - General Orientation and Introduction
The City of Norman announces upcoming dates, times and
locations for a public discussion series regarding city-wide high density
regulations. At the May 23rd Community Planning and Transportation
Committee meeting, members of the committee discussed the best process to engage
citizens in high density development discussion. From information and
discussion from that meeting, six public meetings will be held between June 11
and Aug. 30 to gather public input regarding a number of factors involved in
high density development. Additional public meetings may be scheduled, if
needed.
The public discussion series will begin with a general
orientation and introduction to high density, and then include further meetings
regarding high density location and compatibility; mixed use and height
regulations; parking, traffic and infrastructure; design criteria; and will
conclude with a wrap-up meeting. The initial meeting will be held in the Norman
City Council Chambers at 201 West
Gray St. and, later, at the Conference Center at the Norman Public
High School at 911 W. Main
St.
The information and feedback from these meetings will
later be used by the City to help guide future
policies.
Citizens wishing to stay informed about the meetings are
encouraged to visit the City of Norman website and sign-up for the email list
for updates specifically regarding the high density public discussion series.
Information for each meeting will be posted on the City’s website, along with
materials and presentations from each meeting.
Anyone interested in high density development is invited
to attend these meetings. Updates will be available at www.ci.norman.ok.us, the City’s Facebook
site and the City’s Twitter account.
