The Norman City Council adopted an ordinance on street parking requirements and approved preliminary plat for Sooner Kia during its meeting Tuesday.
Parking requirements
The council unanimously adopted the ordinance for an exemption to the parking requirement for accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, where they have a maximum of 650 square feet.
According to the agenda packet, this ordinance helps avoid additional on-site street parking, which ultimately impacts adjacent property owners. The intent of the ordinance is to allow more flexibility, such as allowing for a one story, accessible garage apartment.
Preliminary plat for Sooner Kia
The council unanimously adopted the preliminary plat for Sooner Kia of Norman. The plat consists of 4.75 acres and one lot located at 418 North Interstate Drive.
The existing Sooner Kia dealership was proposed to be demolished and redeveloped, incorporating an undeveloped lot to the north.
According to the agenda packet, the 34,000-square-foot car dealership is expected to generate approximately 404 trips per day, 27 morning peak hour trips, and 35 evening peak hour trips.
The council also unanimously adopted the request for closing a 17-foot utility easement to build a new automotive dealership facility and remove the existing structure, according to the agenda packet.
Consent items
The council consented to all the items in the consent docket.
Under the consent items there was an incentive program for builders achieving an Energy Codes Home Energy Rating System/Energy Rating Index, or HERS/ERI, the final plat for a new Habitat for Humanity located at 951 Sonoma Park Drive and the funding for the Westwood Park Golf & Tennis Facilities Master Project.
