Share your thoughts on Oklahoma City’s development codes using online surveys
08/16/2021
Help shape updates to Oklahoma City’s development codes by filling out surveys online.
The Planning Department is leading an update to the City’s development codes to make them easier to understand and use, and meet goals developed under the planokc comprehensive plan. Zoning code, sign code and subdivision regulations are among those being updated.
There are online surveys for each of four parts of the City:
Background
The City Council adopted planokc in 2015. Our current ordinances date from before the comprehensive plan, when best practices favored low density and separation of different land use types. planokc recommends updating the code to make land development more efficient and flexible, from very urban to very rural.
A Development Codes Diagnosis completed in 2017 outlined problems like document format, ease-of-use and regulations that don’t match planokc’s goals.
Community input from these surveys is another step in the multiyear process to update development codes. City staff and a consultant team from White & Smith will make recommendations for the Planning Commission and City Council to consider and potentially adopt as new zoning code text. New zones would then be placed in a new zoning map and adopted after more community input.
