The City of Tulsa Zoning Code is codified in Title 42 of the Tulsa Code of Ordinances. The current comprehensive Zoning Code was adopted November 5, 2015 and took effect January 1, 2016. It is administered by the Tulsa Planning Office and is available in full on the Tulsa Planning Office site and through the Municode Library.
Rezoning cases are heard by the Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission (TMAPC), a joint City-County cooperative planning commission authorized by Oklahoma Statutes Title 19, Section 863 and created in 1953 by the City of Tulsa and Tulsa County. TMAPC is a recommending body: it holds a public hearing and makes a recommendation, and the Tulsa City Council reviews and takes final action on rezoning cases within the city before permits can be obtained.
For a rezoning request, the Tulsa Planning Office mails notice to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property, publishes notice in the newspaper, and includes the case on the meeting agenda that is posted online about a week ahead of the hearing. Applicable fees include postage for mailing, any required physical postings, and the newspaper notice.
According to the Tulsa Planning Office, straight (conventional) rezoning typically takes approximately 60 to 90 days, which accounts for state-mandated notice periods, advertising, and notification of property owners within 300 feet. A Planned Unit Development (PUD) or Master Planned Development (MPD) generally takes 90 to 120 days or more, depending on the complexity of the request.
The City of Tulsa Board of Adjustment is empowered by state law to grant variances for hardships and to approve special exceptions to the zoning within its jurisdiction. It is made up of five appointed members and handles roughly 225 cases per year. Rezoning cases denied by the Planning Commission may be appealed to the City Council, while Board of Adjustment denials are appealed to District Court.
