Consideration, discussion, and possible appointment of members to the Downtown Master Plan Advisory Committee
End
Background:
In 2005, the City of Broken Arrow completed the Broken Arrow Downtown Master Plan. A product of that master plan is what has become to beknown as the award-winning Rose District.
Most of the growth and reinvestment along Main Street has occurred between Kenosha Street (71st Street) and Houston Street (81st Street).
With all the success along Main Street stemming from the recommendations of the Downtown Master Plan of 2005, it’s time to begin envisioning what Main Street and beyond could look like from Houston Street (81st Street) to Washington Street (91st Street). The next Downtown Master Plan study will not only look at potential future opportunities, but it will revisit the 2005 Downtown Master Plan recommendations and other supporting documents like the Downtown Residential Overlay District, to determine what has been successful and what might hinder future growth and development.
A big part of the successes along Main Street was the input from various stakeholders during the 2005 Downtown Master Plan study.
On October 21, 2025, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 3898. This ordinance allows for the creation and formation of the Downtown Master Plan Advisory Committee. This advisory committee will be instrumental in establishing the vision and future opportunities for downtown Broken Arrow.
Each Councilor has nominated two (2) people, two (2) Planning Commissioners were selected, and one (1) representative was selected by each of the following; the City Manager, the Broken Arrow Chamber of Commerce, the Broken Arrow Economic Development Corporation, and Broken Arrow Public Schools.
