Implementing PLANiTULSA

PLANiTULSA Implementation Timeline

The Planning Department has developed an interactive PDF document illustrating the estimated timeline for implementing the various facets of the PLANiTULSA Comprehensive Plan.

The PLANiTULSA Implementation Timeline illustrates the expected timeframe for completing the action steps outlined in the PLANiTULSA Strategic Plan, which was developed to prioritize the specific actions needed to implement the Comprehensive Plan recommendations.

Small Area Plans Move Into SWOT Analysis Phase

Throughout the month of April, the Small Area Planning team conducted a SWOT Analysis in each of the three planning areas. The purpose of using this technique is to learn about existing conditions and perceptions within the planning areas in a consistent way.

SWOT Analysis results are posted online under Meetings for each of the plan areas.  In addition to SWOT results, all other materials presented and discussed at Citizen Advisory Team meetings are posted online. 

Three Small Area Plans Underway with Citizen Advisory Teams

In February 2012, Mayor Bartlett, City Councilors and Planning Department representatives kicked-off the planning process for three small area plans including a portion of the 36th Street North corridor, the midtown Utica Avenue corridor, and southwest Tulsa, in the vicinity of the Tulsa Hills retail center.

Following the kick-off, which was attended by about 200 people, citizen advisory teams were formed to meet regularly with neighbors, interested stakeholders and planners to develop small area plans for each of the 3 areas over the next 18 months. For meeting schedules and materials, please refer to the web page for each of the three planning areas. All meetings are open to the public.

Moving Forward with the Tulsa Comprehensive Plan

Since the adoption of the Tulsa 2010 Comprehensive Plan, through the PLANiTULSA process, the City of Tulsa has initiated key implementation strategies as outline in the Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan is the centerpiece of the City’s planning function, as prescribed in the Comprehensive Plan.

In the past couple of months, we have made changes to our website, to inform you in detail about implementation activities. Highlights, for now, include:

• Hiring a Planning Director for the City of Tulsa
  
  
• Funding and starting work on the creation of three Small Area Plans (see above)
  
  
• Selecting a consultant to update the City of Tulsa's Zoning Code, kicking off in Spring 2012
  
  
• City Council adoption of a Complete Streets Policy
  
  
• Reorganization of the City's planning and development related functions into one division
  
  

As the City of Tulsa Planning Department continues its implementation of the Tulsa Comprehensive Plan, those activities will be listed on this website.
