A zoning request for land on the north side of State Highway 9 at Berry Road that has stirred a small neighborhood near the property will be presented to Norman Planning Commissioners Thursday.
Cerebral Professional Systems, Inc., and John M. Campbell have asked to change the city's land use plan and rezone a roughly 5-acre parcel of vacant land from medium density residential to office designation.
Nearly a dozen neighbors from the nearby Rustic Hills street attended a meeting. Most were concerned that a commercial zoning would be too permissive for the site which sits below their street.
Commissioners make recommendations to the City Council. Their meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers, 201 W. Gray Street.
Also on Thursday's agenda:
-- A final plat for Brookhaven No. 42, south of Robinson Street, half a mile west of 36th Avenue NW. Cies Properties, Inc. wants to develop 10 single-family building lots.
-- Amendment of the 2025 land use and transportation plan for a large tract of land at 12th Avenue NW and Tecumseh Road. Owner Kent Connally wants to develop residential, commercial, offices, apartments and industrial uses.
-- Zafar Baig/Zain Fuel Inc., is asking for permission to add an upstairs apartment above his convenience store at 1226 Classen Boulevard for his children to live in while attending OU.
-- Randy and Lisa Martin are asking for rezoning from rural agricultural to residential estate for 5.5 acres at 277 W. Franklin Road. They are asking that the existing property be divided to accommodate another home for a family member. The existing house would continue to have access on Franklin Road. The new house would have access to Broadway.
