Consideration, discussion, and possible preview of Ordinance No. 3970 amending Chapter 6, Buildings and Building Regulations, of the Broken Arrow Code of Ordinances by creating Article IX, Master Development Districts, to establish procedures and standards for the creation and administration of master development districts under the Building Utilities and Infrastructure for Long-term Development (BUILD) Act, 11 O.S. § 39-101 et seq., and providing for codification, severability, repeal of conflicting ordinances, and declaring an emergency

Background:
Enrolled Senate Bill No. 2060 (2026), effective November 1, 2026, authorizes cities and counties to approve master development districts that finance eligible public improvements through special assessments and district bonds. The district is responsible for its bonds, which are payable from district revenues and assessments.
The proposed ordinance establishes the City’s process for pre-application conferences, application review, public notice and hearings, and City Council action. It requires the applicant and developer to sign an undertaking at filing to reimburse the City’s reasonable costs and to enter into a project-specific Applicant Agreement. The City Council would set application fees and deposit amounts by separate resolution.
The ordinance also establishes procedures for completing, executing, and administering each Master Development Agreement using the State Treasurer’s applicable standard template. It coordinates district review with the City’s existing zoning, subdivision, engineering, and public improvement acceptance procedures. Each proposed district would come before the City Council for separate action following public notice and a hearing.
