Norman citizens may see fewer parking spaces but more businesses if a committee pursues a plan to implement a parking maximum for new commercial development.
The Community Planning and Transportation Committee Thursday discussed possible changes to the cityâs code requirements as part of a two-year goal to incentivize âgreen building codes,â an office memo from Planning and Community Development reads.
City Council Ward 4 Lee Hall, Ward 7 Stephen Holman and Ward 8 Matt Peacock were in favor of rethinking parking space requirements in light of new shopping and dining trends that may become more commonplace.
