PRESENTATION OF THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE NORMAN 2025 LAND USE AND TRANSPORTATION PLAN
Body
BACKGROUND: Since the 1997 adoption of the Norman 2020 Land Use and Transportation Plan (Norman 2020), and its successor, the Norman 2025 Land Use and Transportation Plan (Norman 2025), adopted in 2004, the Planning and Community Development Department staff has produced an annual report on the status of development in the City of Norman. This year's report summarizes development activity for calendar year 2016. Staff provides this annual report to Planning Commission and City Council members to allow comparison of the pace of growth anticipated by the land use plan and its companion document Norman 2025 Land Demand Analysis (Land Demand) to the actual rate of development that has occurred in the community.
This report consists of nine sections. Each section describes different aspects of development and planning that has occurred in the City of Norman during 2016.

Several tables include information dating back five years. These tables put the current year's development into a temporal context and illustrate trends and changes that have occurred in recent years.
