Functional <strong>Plan</strong>s<br />

<strong>City</strong> departments and agencies regularly adopt work programs, design standards, and plans for<br />

facility improvements. All <strong>of</strong> these plans should conform to and be closely integrated with the<br />

policies <strong>of</strong> the <strong>OKC</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>. Examples <strong>of</strong> functional plans include (but are not limited to) the<br />

following:<br />

• Fire Station Location Study,<br />

• establishing Police divisions and building briefing stations,<br />

• locating and building libraries,<br />

• plans for water and sewer treatment facilities,<br />

• Parks <strong>Plan</strong>, and<br />

• Functional Classification and Streets plans.<br />

The recommendations included in these plans be evaluated for conformance to the <strong>OKC</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>. In<br />

addition, portions <strong>of</strong> these plans may need to be incorporated into the <strong>OKC</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> as plan<br />

amendments.<br />
