Plan Chapter
Land Use
Tulsa’s future land uses are broadly organized
under five main building blocks. Building blocks
are a combination of land uses, urban design
concepts, and transportation elements that
provide a more complete description of city
environments than typical zoning-based land
use plans. They are the basis of Tulsa’s land use
categories and are used in the vision to describe
the kinds of places Tulsa will feature in the future.
They will cover a range of places, from the central
business district and Brady Village downtown,
to new neighborhoods with grocery stores and
other shops in east and west Tulsa. The five
building blocks include:
Downtown
Corridors
New Centers
New & Existing Neighborhoods
Employment
EmPLoymENT
How We get There
Tulsa will implement the new vision employing
the Strategic Plan. Several of the key land use
recommendations include:
• Revising Tulsa’s zoning and subdivision codes.
• Conducting neighborhood and small area planning
in targeted areas.
• Creating a viable redevelopment strategy.
• Initiating and completing several PLANiTULSA
prototype buildings as demonstration projects.
