6100.1. Purpose Statements.

A.

AA Agricultural District. The AA District creates and preserves areas intended primarily for agricultural purposes. It permits low intensity residential development along with certain essential commercial and institutional uses. It is not intended to provide a lower standard of development than in other districts. The types of uses, area and intensity of use regulations are designed to encourage and protect agricultural uses on a permanent basis, or until such time as urbanization takes place and an appropriate change in district classification is made.

B.

RA2 Single-Family Two-Acre Rural Residential District. The RA District provides single-family residential housing with rural amenities in the rural development areas of the City at densities from 0.35 to 0.45 dwelling units per acre. Special attention should be given to overall design and location of lots within this district to assure adequate provision of light, air and open space, and to protect the area from being subject to intensified zoning once the district has been established and developed.

C.

RA Single-Family One-Acre Rural Residential District. The RA District provides single-family residential housing with rural amenities in the rural development areas of the City at densities from 0.70 to 1.00 dwelling units per acre. Special attention should be given to overall design and location of lots within this district to assure adequate provision of light, air and open space, and to protect the area from being subject to intensified zoning once the district has been established and developed.

D.

R-1 Single-Family Residential District. The R-1 District is the most restrictive residential district. The principal use is single-family residential with provisions for related recreational, religious and educational facilities that are normally required to provide the basic elements of a balanced and attractive residential area. Internal stability, attractiveness, order and efficiency are encouraged by providing adequate light, air and open space for dwellings and related facilities, and through consideration of the proper functional relationships of each element.

E.

R-1ZL Single-Family Residential Zero Lot Line District. The R-1ZL District is a restrictive residential district whose principal use is the single-family detached home with a zero side yard setback. Provisions are made for related recreational, religious and educational facilities that are normally required to provide the basic elements of a balanced and attractive residential area. Internal stability, attractiveness, order and efficiency are encouraged by providing adequate light, air and open space for dwellings and related facilities, and through consideration of the proper functional relationship of each element. The R-1ZL District provides for a unique housing environment regarding such elements as side yard building setbacks, usable side yard areas, intensity of use and typical building orientation, which is unlike the R-1 District.

F.

R-2 Medium-Low Density Residential District. The R-2 District is a residential district with restrictions similar to the R-1 District. The purpose of this district is to create and preserve residential areas with a broad range of housing types and densities in proximity to essential support services. The regulations provide incentives for infill housing development consistent with the existing character and density of an area. Provisions are also made for non-residential uses that support residential development.

G.

R-3 Medium Density Residential District. The R-3 District creates and preserves residential areas with a broad range of housing types and densities, which are close to essential support services. The regulations provide incentives for infill housing development consistent with the existing character and density of an area. Provisions are also made for non-residential uses that support residential development.

H.

R-3M Medium Density Multiple-Family Residential District. The R-3M District is a medium density residential district that encourages multi-family developments representing a broad variety of housing types. The regulations are designed to facilitate medium-density infill residential development, compatible with other nearby residential uses. Provisions are made for conditional approval of those uses that support and service the development in a manner that will not have a harmful effect on the character of existing neighborhoods and will reduce dependence upon automobile transportation by encouraging population densities that support mass transportation.

I.

R-4M Medium-High Density Multiple-Family Residential District. The R-4M District is a medium to high density residential district that encourages multi-family developments representing a broad variety of housing types. The regulations are designed to facilitate medium-density infill residential development, compatible with other nearby residential uses. Provisions are made for conditional approval of those uses that support and service the development in a manner that will not have a harmful effect on the character of existing neighborhoods and will reduce dependence upon automobile transportation by encouraging population densities that support mass transportation.

J.

R-4 General Residential District. The R-4 District is a higher density residential district which encourages multiple-family and group residential developments, and represents a broad variety of housing types and densities. The regulations are designed to facilitate infill residential development and development close to non-residential uses. Provision is made for conditional approval of those uses that support and service the development in a manner that will not have a harmful effect on the character of existing neighborhoods, and will reduce dependence upon automobile transportation by encouraging population densities that will support mass transportation.

K.

R-MH-1 Manufactured (Mobile) Home Subdivision District. The R-MH-1 District is a restrictive residential district. The principal use within this district is a freestanding manufactured (mobile) home used as a single residence. The purpose of this district is to provide a grouping of home sites, within the setting of a residential subdivision, for manufactured (mobile) homes, which are not compatible with conventional housing and are normally permitted only in manufactured (mobile) home parks or rural areas, and conventional single-family homes. This district provides for individual lots which allow the manufactured (mobile) home owner to own the property on which his/her home is situated. Provision is made for related recreational, religious and educational facilities normally required to provide the basic elements of a balanced and attractive residential area. Internal stability, attractiveness, order and efficiency are encouraged by providing adequate light, air and open space for manufactured (mobile) homes, conventional residences and related facilities, and through consideration of the proper functional relationship of each element. A minimum subdivision size is established to assure that sufficiency of compatible housing types can be established to create a desirable environment, and provide separation from conventional housing areas that may be nearby.

L.

R-MH-2 Manufactured (Mobile) Home Park District. The R-MH-2 District permits locations for manufactured (mobile) home parks which, while providing a residential environment, are not generally compatible with normal residential developments. These parks are under a single ownership and provide leased or rented manufactured (mobile) home spaces. This district should provide for an orderly arrangement of home sites in manufactured (mobile) home parks, which have been located and designed in a manner that will promote and protect the health, safety and general welfare of the residents.

6200.1. Purpose Statements.

A.

O-1 Limited Office District. The O-1 District is intended to provide a location for those administrative and professional offices that can occupy smaller structures in a landscaped setting. This type of development can serve as a buffer between more intense retail and office commercial uses, and established residential neighborhoods. Emphasis is placed on smaller, individual freestanding buildings, landscaping, setbacks, sign control and restricted building height in order to promote protection for nearby residences.

B.

O-2 General Office District. The O-2 District is intended to provide a place for those office and institutional activities that require separate buildings, or building groups, and whose employees and clientele may come from a wide geographic area. Land, space and aesthetic requirements of these uses make either a central location or a location on large sites between more intense retail commercial areas and established residential neighborhoods desirable, so as to act as a buffer.

C.

RC Rural Commercial District. The RC District is intended to provide locations for commercial and service uses which primarily serve outlying agricultural areas and/or businesses.

D.

NB Neighborhood Business District. The NB District is intended to promote a mix of commercial, office and residential uses which serve the day-to-day needs of residents and the residents of surrounding neighborhoods. It is particularly applicable to older areas of Oklahoma City developed prior to the off-street parking requirements typically mandated in today's commercial zoning districts.

E.

C-1 Neighborhood Commercial District. The C-1 District is intended to provide a location for a limited number of retail commercial goods and personal services that serve the day-to-day needs of residents of surrounding neighborhoods. Because these shops and offices are lower intensity uses, they may be designed to be located at, or near, arterial street intersections, in close proximity to housing areas, or as limited service facilities in larger planned high density housing areas. This district is limited to the types of uses that will not create increased traffic, noise or other incompatible factors caused by uses serving a larger part of the City and, therefore, would have a negative impact on surrounding neighborhoods.

F.

C-2 Shopping Center District. The C-2 District is intended to provide for a unified grouping, in one or more buildings, of retail shops, stores and offices, which are planned and developed as a single operating unit, and under single or multiple ownership. A development will typically contain such features as shared parking, driveways and common facilities, adequate setbacks and landscaping, and sufficient on-site parking for customers and employees.

G.

C-3 Community Commercial District. The C-3 District is intended for business activity that is located at the edge of residential areas but serves a larger trade area than the immediately surrounding residential neighborhoods. Business uses will most often be found in a wide variety of commercial structures, normally on individual sites with separate ingress, egress and parking. Because of the varied uses permitted, it is important to separate them as much as possible, both visually and physically, from any nearby residential areas and to limit the harmful effects of increased traffic, noise and general non-residential activity generated.

H.

C-4 General Commercial District. The C-4 District is intended for the conduct of wholesale, retail and office business activities that serve the needs of citizens from anywhere in the metropolitan area, rather than being oriented only to surrounding residential areas. Because the permitted uses may serve and employ a large number of people from a large part of the metropolitan area, the activities conducted, and the traffic generated, make this district very much incompatible with residential development. The Comprehensive Plan policy does not support further expansion of the C-4 District.

I.

C-CBD Central Business District. The C-CBD District is intended for the conduct of all forms of business activity within the central area of the City. Because of extensive private and public development controls already in existence, via covenants and urban renewal activities, development regulations in this district are kept to a minimum and reflect previously established regulations only. C-CBD zoning shall only be granted as an extension of an existing C-CBD District. To be eligible for rezoning to this district, a parcel shall abut, or be directly across a street or alley from, an existing C-CBD District.

J.

C-HC Highway Commercial District. The C-HC District is intended to provide commercial facilities for the traveling public along freeways in those areas where surrounding urban development does not exist and normal urban services are not available. Commercial uses permitted are limited to those types which directly serve automobile and truck needs, and provide basic convenience goods for cross country travelers. Because these areas will be located in low density agricultural areas, their location should be limited to freeway or highway intersections. They should be relatively small in size, and care should be taken in the location and development of structures to minimize their impact on surrounding land uses.

6200.2. District Use Regulations.

A.

Special standards for specific uses identified in Table 6200.1 as Special Exception (SE), Special Permit (SP) or Conditional (C) are found in Section 59-9350, Standards for Specific Uses.

 • If food or beverages are consumed in an outdoor seating/activity area between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., the outdoor seating/activity area shall be separated by a distance of at least 100 feet from the nearest abutting property line of a residential use. Distances shall be measured from the closest edge of the outdoor seating/activity area to the nearest abutting property line of the residential use.

 • The area allocated to the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages shall not exceed 15,000 square feet.

^6.  Any Planned Unit Development or Simplified Planned Unit Development adopted prior to the effective date of this ordinance that permitted the 8300.37 Eating Establishment: Sitdown, Alcohol Not Permitted use unit shall be permitted to develop according to the 8300.38 Eating Establishment: Sitdown, Alcohol Permitted or 8300.39 Eating Establishment: Sitdown, Limited Alcohol Permitted uses provided they meet the applicable conditions, unless the PUD/SPUD specifically prohibited said uses.

6200.3. District Bulk Standards. Table 6200.2 establishes yard and bulk regulations for the office and commercial districts.

FOOTNOTES: TABLE 6200.2

¹  There are special building lines established along certain streets—See Section 59-12100.4 (Special Setback Regulations).

⁶  Chimneys, cooling towers, elevator shafts, bulkheads, broadcasting or receiving antennas on residences, private wind energy conversion system (PWECS) towers, fire towers, lofts, tanks, water towers, ornamental towers and spires, wireless towers and necessary mechanical appurtenances shall be excluded from the measured height of a building. These accessory features may be erected to a height not exceeding 15 feet above the applicable permitted maximum height for that building or to such greater height as may be provided in this chapter. Components located within electric sub-stations may be erected to a height not exceeding 35 feet above the applicable permitted maximum height but not to exceed 70 feet in height.

⁷  A 20-foot front yard shall be permitted in new areas where there is no existing 25-foot building line or where there is no greater setback established by existing construction in the same block frontage.

⁸  Where a platted lot line requires a greater setback, the platted lot line shall be required.

6250.1. Purpose Statements.

A.

TP Technology Park District. The TP District is intended to provide locations for office, research, and limited technology and industrial uses that do not have adverse impacts on surrounding properties or the environment, and are typically located in a campus or industrial park setting.

B.

I-1 Light Industrial District. The I-1 District is intended to accommodate low impact industrial development and supporting commercial or public uses, in areas where little or no nuisance effects are generated. These industrial uses may require good accessibility to air, rail or street transportation routes, but the size and volume of the raw materials and finished products should not be as great as that produced by uses in the moderate and heavy industrial districts. No manufacturing, assembly, repair, work activity or storage, other than outside sales and display as permitted by this chapter, shall take place outside the confines of an enclosed building.

C.

I-2 Moderate Industrial District. The I-2 District is intended primarily for the conduct of light manufacturing, assembly and fabrication, and for warehousing, wholesale and service uses, which may generate relatively low levels of noise, odor, smoke, dust or intense light. Industrial uses permitted may require good accessibility to air, rail or street transportation routes, but do not depend heavily on frequent personal visits of customers or clients. Provision is also made for outdoor operation and storage.

D.

I-3 Heavy Industrial District. The I-3 District is intended to provide locations for those industrial uses that may generate relatively high levels of noise, vibrations, smoke, dust, odor or light. These industrial uses are incompatible with residential uses. For this reason it is desirable that they be located downwind, and as far away as possible, from residential and most commercial uses.
