• Continue to support the Tulsa Arts.
Commission and the Arts and Humanities
Council of Tulsa and the one percent public
art program fund. Consider increasing
incrementally to fund a long-term arts
maintenance program.
• Site art in locations targeted for mixeduse,
pedestrian environments.
Goal 4—
The development environment allows
Comprehensive Plan implementation to
occur through market development. Policies to support
this goal include:
4.1 Promote redevelopment through
reductions of parking standards and the
expansion of shared parking systems and
other parking management tools.
4.2 In order to get existing inventory into
productive use, enable historic and older
buildings to be adaptively reused though
programs like temporary property tax relief.
4.3 Ensure that adequate land to accommodate
desired development is zoned and ready for
development through implementation of city
initiated zoning cases following the adoption
of small area plans. City initiated zoning
recommendations should be consistent with
small area plans.
4.4 Maximize coordination and streamlining of
development related activities.

put procedures, processes and tools in place to
effectively and equitably implement planiTulsa.
Goal 5—
Tulsa’s regulatory programs support desired growth,
economic development, housing, a variety of
transportation modes and quality of life priorities.
Policies to support this goal include:
5.1 Review and revise the zoning code to ensure
that a diverse range of uses and building types
can be produced by the market place.
• Analyze the current zoning code to
determine deficiencies and needed amendments.
This analysis should include a recommendation
on the extent of amendments needed to
implement the plan.
• Analyze the impact on market feasibility of
zoning and development regulations.
• At a minimum, create mixed use districts that
allow the PLANiTULSA building prototypes
to be developed, by right, and bring parking
standards up to current best practices.
• Establish off-street parking and design
standards to reflect actual parking demand.
• Create a shared parking district overlay to be
used in conjunction with a shared parking
analysis to estimate actual parking needs.
• Address off site parking requirements
for historic buildings.
• Revise set-back standards to allow buildings to
be built along the sidewalk, rather than pushed
to the rear of the lot with parking in front.
• Establish parking minimums based on best
practices and allow the marketplace a role in
estimating maximum parking needs.
• Improve flexibility in permitted uses for
re-use of historic buildings.
