• Growth should be directed to places that
will benefit from an infusion of population,
activity and investment (Areas of Growth)
• Character preservation, reinvestment
and limited growth are the primary concerns
for stable residential neighborhoods
(Areas of Stability)
• When growth occurs in stable residential
areas it should be focused in centers, in
activity nodes and near transit routes
• Regulations should encourage development,
yet maintain standards for appropriately
located density and urban design
• Public infrastructure investments will
improve the physical environment of the
City and stimulate private investment
• Growth in Areas of Growth connects residents
to transit, jobs and centers of activity, and
increases housing and employment
Areas of Stability
and Growth
Tulsans have expressed a desire for change;
they also want to preserve and enhance the
best aspects of their city. This map is a conceptual
illustration of which parts of the city are likely
to change and remain the same over the life of
the plan. A more detailed and comprehensive
map will be developed as part of the Policy Plan
document.
The city’s primary areas of stability are existing single-family
neighborhoods, which are the heart of the Tulsa community.
Areas of growth are likely to be under-used land along corridors
and downtown and undeveloped land. Care must be taken
to ensure that reinvestment is well-integrated with existing
neighborhoods. Undeveloped land at the edges of the city
should be planned for complete communities that balance
homes, jobs, and amenities.
