ZCA-38 — Changes to Tulsa's Housing Rules

What is ZCA-38?

ZCA-38 is a proposal to change parts of Tulsa's zoning code. The zoning code is a set of rules about how land and buildings may be used.

These changes deal with the Neighborhood Infill Overlay, or NIO.

The NIO makes it easier to build some types of housing in older neighborhoods. These can include duplexes, townhomes, small apartment buildings, and backyard homes.

ZCA-38 deals with the rules for this housing. A related case, SA-8, deals with where the NIO boundaries would extend.

Why does this matter?

Changing the rules may affect what can be built on a lot. It may also affect the size and placement of new buildings.

Supporters want to make it easier to build more homes. Others have raised questions about neighborhood needs and the effects of new development.
