land use priorities
Land use decisions should be focused on improving
the quality of life of all of Tulsa’s citizens so that Tulsans
in all parts of the city benefit from future growth and
development. Our Vision for Tulsa provides an overview of
the top land use priorities. This section includes detailed
priorities, goals and polices that build on the land use
priorities described in the Vision.
land use prioriTy 1
make land use decisions that contribute
to Tulsa’s fiscal stability and move the city
towards the citizen’s vision
Goal 1—
Tulsa captures a larger proportion of the of the region’s
future growth. Policies to support this goal include:
1.1 Ensure that zoning capacity within areas
of growth is zoned appropriately for at least
20 years of growth;
1.2 Implement adopted small areas plans by
city initiation of zoning changes to make
land available for desired development;
1.3 Reassess zoning capacity in relation to
this goal every 5 years.
Goal 2—
Land use decisions are consistent with
the Vision, Land Use and Stability/Growth Maps.
Policies to support this goal include:
vision map
2.1 Use the Vision map to provide general
guidance for amending the land use plan.
The vision map:
• Represents the types of places the
land use program works to create;
• Is intended to represent long-term
growth and transportation concepts;
• Is not a regulatory tool, but serves
as a guide to the plan map and land use/
transportation policies;
• Allows flexibility of implementation in how to
achieve the vision by using the building blocks
and plan categories to align new development
with the vision to create places that are in
accord with the desired design, density, job
creation, and other goals.
2.2 Use the vision to inform development related
policy decisions using the following indicators:
• Do the proposed building block and plan
categories provide the kind of places described
in the Vision?
• Do the proposed building block and
plan categories support the transportation,
employment, and housing mix goals for
the City of Tulsa?
• Do proposed transportation investments
support surrounding land uses?
• Have proposed transportation investments
been designed using the context sensitive
solution process?
