Important Review of Land Use Systems

The Mayor’s Land Use Task Force will meet on Monday September 21st, at 4:00 p.m. at City Hall, Room 411.

PreserveMidtown presented a video and power point presentation to this Task Force last spring regarding infill problems including stormwater run-off issues.  One of the points we made was that this current task force is only the latest of many reports regarding the same issues.  This time, we want to ensure that the recommendations are acted on.  The previous reports just sat on the shelf with no action.  This is an accountability issue.

Go to http://www.preservemidtown.com/category/teardown-infill-issues/ to view the power point and the video presentations.

The agenda will include presentations from:

  1. INCOG – Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission / Board of Adjustment
  2. City of Tulsa Development Services Department
  3. City of Tulsa Planning Department / PLANiTulsa

Each department/agency will provide a progress report on its activities, as they relate to the Task Force recommendations of June 16th.  The public is welcome to attend, but the Task Force will not be taking public comment at this meeting.

Starting Monday, the Task Force will meet every three months, on the third Monday, to evaluate progress on the recommendations.  Special meetings might be called between regular meetings, as the need arises.

We encourage all interested parties to attend this meeting and keep up-to-date on all progress with implementing systemic changes identified in the current report.  Tulsa residents must be the “watch-dogs” if we truly want changes made to the land use system.

The next step in the PlaniTulsa process is now available on the PlaniTulsa web site.

Please visit this site and read through what is being proposed for the future of Tulsa.  You are also being asked to give your comments about this vision.

Again, now is the time to express your desires for Tulsa development in the future.  The things you care about most do matter, but only if you let the planners know what they are.

All citizens of Tulsa must accept responsibility for what we allow to be developed in our community.

Tulsa People

PreserveMidtown founders are very proud to be featured on the cover of Tulsa People magazine for October.  A special thanks goes to Jim Langdon, Michelle Weeks and all the other staff  members that made this possible.

 

Tulsa is hosting the very important 5-day national preservation conference sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, October 21-25, 2008.  Lee Anne Zieglar, executive director of the Tulsa Foundation for Architecture, has succeeded in securing this conference for our Tulsa community after many years of effort.  She has been working tirelessly to make this a fantastic event for everyone who is interested in or just curious about preservation of older historic buildings.

 

We encourage you to  read the inside article on Endangered Tulsa and about the This Place Matters new program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.  This is something we can all take part in to help secure our older important structures in Oklahoma’s relatively short history.  Now is the time to take action!

 

Please come down to our Tulsa Convention Center and be prepared to learn about preservation activities not only in Tulsa, but across the nation! 

We will see you there!
