Understanding the Validity of the Scenario Survey
Unlike the upfront poll, the survey is NOT statistically valid.
It is directionally valid, like a huge focus group.
The data is not geographically proportionate. Meaning some areas of town are over-represented and some under.

PLANiTULSA Process
Plan Chapter: Land Use
The Building BlocksTulsa’s future land uses will be broadly organized under five main building blocks
•
Downtown•
Corridors
•
New Centers•
New Neighborhoods
•
Existing Neighborhoods
Downtown•
Downtown Tulsa will be the place to see a concert, go shopping, or have a night out on the town
•
Plentiful office space and a great transit system will make it easy for employers to serve their clients and attract great talent
•
Higher density housing in condominiums, apartments, live-work lofts, and town homes
Plan Chapter: Land Use
Boulder Avenue
Plan Chapter: Land Use
CorridorsCorridors serve as both travel routes and destinations
High-capacity Arterial Streets•
Commercial corridors •
Auto-dominated•
Multimodal arterials
Main Streets•
Lower volume•
Serve neighbors and visitors alike
Plan Chapter: Land Use
CorridorsHigh-capacity
Arterial Streets
•
Will be upgraded to accommodate cars, transit, bikes and pedestrians
•
Key centers will have more pedestrian and transit amenities
•
New mixed-use development will also serve existing surrounding neighborhoods
Plan Chapter: Land Use
CorridorsMain Streets
•
Narrower streets, generally lower traffic volume
•
Park once and walk to multiple destinations
•
Linear neighborhood centers
•
Attractive, interesting places with wide sidewalks and on-
street parking
Plan Chapter: Land Use
New Centers
Eastgate
Metroplex Example
•
Enhanced by transit services
•
Add retail, grocery stores, mixed-use residential to enrich the area
•
Build mix of housing types on surrounding vacant land
Plan Chapter: Land Use
Existing Neighborhoods
•
Are one of Tulsa’s strongest assets, and will be preserved
•
Are considered areas of stability
•
Most enhancements will be through improvements to surrounding main streets and arterials
•
These will add more amenities and improve connectivity to the rest of the city
Plan Chapter: Land Use
Plan Chapter: Transportation
Transportation•
Tulsans will have a wide variety of transportation choices for getting around town.
•
Drive, bike, or catch a quick and reliable bus or streetcar to just about anywhere.
•
The network of transit options, large arterials, pedestrian-
friendly neighborhoods and employment centers will result in one of the safest, most efficient transportation systems in the country.
Transit
•
Emphasis will be on building a strong system with continuous improvement to build support and ridership
•
Focus on 2-3 key corridors that serve Downtown, North and East Tulsa
•
As ridership grows, expand frequent service across the grid to support new centers and neighborhoods
Plan Chapter: Transportation
Highways and Freight
•
Freight access should be improved through investments to disentangle it from local traffic
•
Utilize the Gilcrease
Expressway Extension to an intermodal hub northeast of Tulsa International Airport
•
Investing in city streets and arterials and expanding accessibility will also help relieve highway congestion
Plan Chapter: Transportation
Walking and Biking
•
Will make many improvements to existing neighborhoods and along main streets and corridors
•
Continue to expand Tulsa’s existing network of paths and trails
•
Bicycle travel, especially during good weather, make up a significant share of transportation trips
Plan Chapter: Transportation
Matching Street Design to Land Use
One size does not fit all Streets should respond to the land uses around them
Smart Parking
•
Tulsans will still, by and large, drive their cars
•
City’s approach will be to optimize the efficiency of parking, instead of requiring too much
•
New development will be allowed to utilize on-street parking, and the city will plan for parking districts with shared lots
•
Mixed use parking garages with retail on the ground floor blend in well with surrounding buildings
Plan Chapter: Transportation
Plan Chapter: Economic Development
Economic Development
•
Tulsa will need a vigorous and strategic approach to economic development
•
Coordinated with land use, housing, transportation and the factors that affect residents’
quality of life like parks, open space and education.
•
Tulsa must nurture its entrepreneurial enterprises, ensure room for growth, and be an attractive place to move or establish a business
Plan Chapter: Housing
Housing
•
The PLANiTULSA forecast and housing analysis highlighted the need for some additional housing choice
•
40,000 household goad with diverse mix
•
Most of Tulsa’s housing stock is and will continue to be single-family homes
•
But there will be many households who will prefer townhomes, condos and apartments (especially downtown)
Plan Chapter: Parks
Parks•
Most Tulsans will live near a park and will be able to walk or bike there
•
Schools and parks will make use of the same facilities
•
Downtown will feature urban parks with fountains, playgrounds, and other amenities to bring nature into the city
•
PLANiTULSA will coordinate with the 2009 City of Tulsa Master Parks Plan now in production
Plan Chapter: Open Space
Open Space•
Tulsa’s natural environments –
waterways, floodplains and open space –
provide a break from the hustle and bustle of living in an urban environment.
•
Tulsa will work to bring nature to the city, and connect Tulsans with the Arkansas River, Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Area, and other open spaces
•
Tulsa will continue to be a leader in integrating stormwater
management with development
Plan Chapter: Sustainability
Sustainability and the Built EnvironmentIn the energy-constrained world of the future, Tulsa will be a major leader in creating high quality places for people to live, work, and play …
but with a small footprint on the environment.
•
Building design will emphasize energy and water efficiency and make use of renewable building materials
•
Continue and enhance the storm water and hazard mitigation plans of the City

Strategic Plan Preview
Proposed StrategiesSpecific implementation strategies to reshape fundamental aspects of Tulsa’s approach to land use, transportation, and economic development will build on and sustain the vision.
•
Step 1: Revise the Zoning Code
•
Step 2: Create a Redevelopment Strategy
•
Step 3: Develop a New Transportation Strategy
•
Step 4: Conduct Neighborhood and Small Area Planning in Key Areas
•
Step 5: Develop PLANiTULSA Innovative Buildings as Demonstration Projects
•
Step 6: Organize Planning and Development Functions for Implementation
Achieving the Vision: Strategies
Step 1: Revise the Zoning CodeUpdate the Code to align with the goals of the Plan
Tulsa’s zoning code should:•
Be Easy to Use
•
Allow More Diverse Building Types•
Enable Innovative Parking Solutions
•
Align Development Incentives with Goals of Plan

Plans and Implementation
District Plan 6: Brookside Special Districts
Northern Brookside Business Area
Pg 6-11The Brookside area is an urban village with its own special identity, sense of community, pattern of development and unique characteristics. The protection, preservation and enhancement of this urban village are of paramount importance. There are certain design policies and standards appropriate for improvements in the study area…
Plans and Implementation
An additional plan for the area:
Brookside Infill Neighborhood Detailed Implementation Plan (2002)
In general, this plan addresses:
•
Public realm and streetscape design
• Infill development design
Plans and Implementation
Public realm and streetscape design
Plan seeks to preserve pedestrian-
oriented and high-quality urban design character.
Outlines Policies for• sidewalks and pedestrian crossings• street furniture• lighting and street trees
It establishes a “look and feel”
that will serve the neighborhood well, if implemented
Plans and Implementation
The plan does recommend creating a shared parking facility in the district.
But the District 6 Plan, which is also in effect, states that new development or reuse of buildings must
provide
off-street parking as required by the code

Zoning Code Issues
Our Vision for Tulsa: East Pine and North Peoria
Revitalized neighborhood and mixed use center
Zoning Code IssuesWhat is most likely is that this project would have obtain a zone change to PUD
For a key revitalization area, this raises barriers and reduces certainty for the developer and neighborhood

Context Sensitive Solutions
Achieving the Vision: Strategies
Step 4: Conduct Neighborhood and Small Area Planning in Key AreasNeighborhood planning is key to redevelopment
•
Redevelopment will need to be carefully designed to work with existing communities
•
Each plan should have measurable performance indicators and include funding and implementation plans
•
Compatible zoning and parking solutions should be adopted in conjunction with the plan
Achieving the Vision: Strategies
Step 5: Develop Key PLANiTULSA Prototypes as Demonstration Projects
•
Begin with projects that have a high likelihood of success
•
Engage the development community and set up for success before tackling more difficult projects
•
Don’t try for home runs –
start with base hits
•
Work to establish a development process that will enable similar projects to be built by the private sector

Achieving the Vision: Strategies
Step 6: Organize Planning and Development Functions for ImplementationOur ambitious agenda for change requires a high degree of coordination and skill
•
Organization matters!•
Tulsa’s planning and development functions are spread between many agencies and departments
•
Consider consolidation or closer coordination between planning, zoning, permits, economic development, capital planning, redevelopment

The Future
The Future Is in Our HandsThe PLANiTULSA process illustrates our vision in the future. A consensus vision, based on input from thousands of participating Tulsans show how the Tulsa of tomorrow will offer more choices and opportunities if we take action today.
Capturing our vision was the easy part.Making that dream a reality will require Leadership, Dedication, Hard Work, and Cooperation
among people with different perspectives, opinions and expertise.
Together Tulsa can set things in motion –
we can accomplish amazing results that will move our city toward a bright future.
