The Tulsa Planning Commission held a special meeting on October 7, 2026, to consider routine consent items, a public hearing on a planned unit development amendment, a preliminary plat, an economic development project plan conformance review, and comprehensive plan text amendments. All items on the agenda were approved unanimously.
Thank you. Good afternoon. Welcome to the Tulsa Planning Commission. Special meeting October 7th, 2026. I call this meeting to order. Don't have a chairperson's report or director's report. Hello. Um, good afternoon. Um, since we met the last time, City Council approved both of the amendments to the um regarding neighborhood character overlays, the text to Renaissance neighborhood, and then the map amendment for Florence Park. So those are really the only two big big things we've had at council. So we do need to have a work session, and I misspoke at the last meeting. I knew better, and I just said it wrong. Um I said we were gonna have a work session before the next meeting. That's not correct. We were going to need one on November 4th. Uh, there's a lot of items that we need to talk about, so we're not sure if it's gonna need to start at 10 or 10 30. That will we'll figure that out. Remember, um, well, Alejandro's not here, he's really the only new one. We do serve lunch, serve you lunch so that we'll kind of have a seamless um transition into this meeting. The topics for discussion, we've been working on some general code amendments, really some cleanup type of things, um, some amendments to our open space, uh regulations in the zoning code, uh, what we're calling housing feasibility part two. This is a this was initiated by planning commission earlier this year. It is a large batch of residential amendments to try to simplify the residential standards, so there's a lot there. Data center zoning code amendments, um, and then there's some historic preservation related items, and we're gonna give you probably at least some concepts of what we're looking at in the subdivision and development regulation. So there's a lot. We'll see. We'll see what we can cover in in a few hours. So that's all I have. So I'm not sure. Either 10 or 10 30. I there's a lot here, so I kind of like to back it up. We may need to start at 10 if if all these items are gonna be discussed in some manner. Okay. So, in order to conduct the public hearing in an orderly manner, we ask that you abide by the following rules. The commission will first hear from staff for an explanation of the application, the physical facts of the property under application, and the surrounding property, followed by a presentation of staff's recommendation. The commission will then hear the applicant's presentation, not to exceed 15 minutes. Um next, the commission will hear from any interested parties or protestants. A time limit uh per speaker may be imposed. Those wishing to speak must use the sign-in sheet at the front desk uh by the doors with Aaron. If you choose to speak, direct all comments into the microphone, state your name and address for the record. And finally, the commission will hear the applicant's rebuttal, if any, not to exceed 10 minutes. Um during the hearing, the commission may ask questions of staff, the applicant or interested parties. In the room are representatives from the city's legal department, development services department, and the planning office. And this hearing will be recorded and broadcast on cable channel 24. Um, and just as a reminder to everyone in the room, both applicants and interested parties of zoning cases, which I guess we don't have any zoning cases on the agenda today. No, so this will not apply, so I won't go on, but that's it.
