As a consequence of partially basing Tulsa 2030 Goal on the
pattern that includes the availability of vacant land there
is substantial growth within the eastern parts of city. But
growth would occur more effciently, than under Trends
Continue. Of all the new housing and jobs created, one
fifth and one third, respectively, would take the form of
infill development.
Furthermore, Tulsa 2030 Goal is more successful at
delivering mixed-use housing and employment types than
would occur under Trends Continue. One third of new
housing units would be in a mixed-use environment, where
residents and workers could easily walk to shops or services.
These new housing units and jobs would help support the
city’s transit systems and provide reinvestment along the
city’s corridors. It should be noted, that the overall density
of new residential development would not be radically
higher than under Trends Continue.
Different areas of the city will have different amounts of
mixed-use housing and jobs. Downtown is considered
an entirely mixed-use area, and Midtown, because of its
heavy emphasis on main streets will be mostly mixed-use.
But East Tulsa, with a larger proportion of single-family
neighborhoods will have a lower proportion of mixed-use
units, overall. The large amount of employment lands in
East Tulsa also reduces its overall share of mixed-use jobs.
Most areas of the city would see about half of new jobs in
mixed-use environments.
Fiscally, Tulsa 2030 Goal would result in a greater overall
benefit to the city of Tulsa, in terms of sales tax revenue.
The net increase in annual sales tax revenue would be more
than double what would be collected under the Trends
Continue scenario. Furthermore, Tulsa 2030 Goal would
result about three times as much new construction (by
value) in the city.
