Title:
title
Consideration, discussion, and possible approval of and authorization to execute Resolution No. 1658, a Resolution authorizing the acceptance of Updates to the Broken Arrow NEXT Comprehensive Plan
End
Background:
The Broken Arrow Next Comprehensive Plan was approved by the City Council on August 6, 2019 with Resolution No. 1255. Amongst the key priorities in the Broken Arrow NEXT Comprehensive Plan is to update the City’s land development regulations to effectively implement the plan and help bolster the community’s vision. One of the goals of the Plan is to “ensure that new development is high-quality and long-lasting” (Goal LU2), and a recommendation is to evaluate and identify potential updates to the Zoning Ordinance as a tool to create stronger character and sense of place in the built environment (LU2.2).
In May of 2021, Staff, along with Kendig Keast Collaborative, began work on an update to the Broken Arrow Zoning Ordinance. This ordinance was previewed by the City Council on May 6, 2025 and is expected to be adopted at the same meeting as this item.
Staff is recommending these changes to the text of the Comprehensive Plan to update the zoning districts names to reflect the new Zoning Ordinance.
The Planning Commission, in their regular meeting held April 24, 2025, recommended approval (5-0 vote) of the proposed updates.
Saff recommends that Resolution No. 1658 become effective on July 1, 2025.
