Tulsa Comprehensive Plan - PLANiTULSA

The Plan Chapters
Our Vision
and the New
Comprehensive Plan

This vision guides the creation and
implementation of the comprehensive plan
and the strategic implementation steps.
The city’s current plan, which functions as a
blueprint for the city, was written in 1978. While
it has been frequently updated and amended,
it is inadequate for the future Tulsans have
envisioned.
Each chapter of the new comprehensive plan
will cover broad functional aspects of the city.
While separated for organizational purposes,
each chapter is linked to support the policies
of others. For example, goals and policies in the
transportation chapter are coordinated with
land use, so parcels around a light rail station
are zoned for housing, jobs, and amenities.
The following pages outline each
chapter of the plan:
Land Use
Transportation
Economic Development
Housing
Parks, Trails and Open Space

DOWNTOWN TULSA
MASTER PLAN
Detailed planning concepts for downtown Tulsa
have been developed on a parallel track with the
PLANiTULSA process. The 2009 draft Downtown
Tulsa Master Plan, pending adoption by the
TMAPC, will serve as a small area plan for the city.
The PLANiTULSA plan will not invalidate existing
plans in the City. The plan will guide future efforts
and decisions, be they new initiatives or updates,
to these existing plans over time.
