A.

Purpose. Like overlay zoning districts, special purpose zoning districts are tools for dealing with unique neighborhoods or settings or accomplishing special planning and zoning goals. Unlike overlay districts, however, special districts are base zoning classifications; they do not "over-lay" other base zoning districts.

B.

Establishment. Except as otherwise expressly stated, special districts may be established, amended or removed only in accordance with the zoning map amendment procedures of Section 70.030.

A.

Purposes.

1.

The AG, Agricultural district is primarily intended to accommodate agricultural, mining or mineral processing uses in rural areas. The district also allows very low-density residential and other uses and serves as a holding zone pending an orderly transition to more urban development that can be efficiently served by public facilities and services.

2.

The AG-R, Agricultural-Residential district is primarily intended for areas of the city that are generally located on the outer edge of urbanized development. The district is designed to acknowledge the desire for lower-density residential development with larger lot sizes. While land use regulations and lot and building standards are primarily geared towards residential uses, some agricultural uses could also be permitted.

B.

Use regulations.

1.

Uses are allowed in AG and AG-R districts in accordance with Table 25-1. These uses are described in Chapter 35. Uses identified with a "P" are permitted as-of-right. Uses identified with an "S" may be allowed only if reviewed and approved in accordance with the special exception procedures of Section 70.120. All allowed uses are subject to compliance with all other applicable regulations of this zoning code.

2.

Uses identified with an "-" are expressly prohibited. Uses that are not listed in the table and that cannot be reasonably interpreted (as stated in Subsection 35.020E.) to fall within any defined use category are also prohibited.

Said license may be for a Family Child Care Home or Large Family Child Care Home as permitted by the State of Oklahoma, provided that the child care home has a licensed capacity of no greater than 12 children. At the time the license expires, is revoked by the State of Oklahoma, is transferred to another entity, or the child care home ceases operation for longer than 6 months, the property will lose its status as established and the family child care home will require a Special Exception.

C.

Residential building types. Residential uses allowed in AG and AG-R districts must be located in residential buildings. Descriptions of the residential building types and references to applicable regulations are found in Section 35.010. The following residential building types are allowed in AG and AG-R districts:

A.

Purpose and intent. The MPD, Master Planned Development district is established to accommodate development that would be difficult or impossible to carry out under otherwise applicable zoning regulations. Different types of MPDs will promote different planning goals. In general, however, all MPDs are intended to result in development that is consistent with the city's adopted plans and that provides greater public benefits than could be achieved using conventional zoning regulations. MPDs are also generally intended to promote one or more of the following:

1.

Variety in housing types and sizes to accommodate households of all ages, sizes, incomes and lifestyle choices;

2.

Compact, mixed-use development patterns where residential, commercial, employment, civic, and open space areas are located in close proximity to one another;

3.

A transportation network designed to accommodate safe and efficient motorized and non-motorized travel;

4.

Direct, safe and convenient non-motorized travel routes within the boundaries of the development site, as well as connections to abutting properties;

5.

Buildings and other improvements that by their arrangement, massing, design, character and site design elements establish a quality, livable environment;

6.

Sustainable development practices;

7.

Incorporation of open space amenities and natural resource features into the development design;

8.

Low-impact development (LID) and best management practices for managing stormwater; and

9.

Flexibility and creativity in responding to changing social, economic and market conditions.

B.

Initiation of amendment. Applications to establish an MPD district or expand the boundaries of an existing MPD district may be initiated only by the owner of the subject property.

C.

Statement of intent. Each MPD application must include a written explanation describing how the proposed development meets the purpose and intent described in Subsection 25.070A. and the supplemental review and approval criteria of Subsection 25.070D.2.

D.

MPD approval procedures.

1.

Overview of required approval process.

a.

A property owner request for rezoning to the MPD zoning district requires review and approval of a zoning map amendment (see Section 70.030), which is processed concurrently with a development plan (see Section 70.040).

b.

After approval of the zoning map amendment and development plan, site plan review and approval is required in accordance with the procedures of Section 70.050.

c.

No building permit may be issued and no building or development may occur in a MPD zoning district until a zoning clearance permit has been issued in accordance with Section 70.080.

2.

Supplemental review and approval criteria. In making recommendations and decisions on MPD district zoning map amendments, review and decision-making bodies must consider the zoning map amendment criteria of Subsection 70.030H. and the following factors:

a.

Whether the proposed master planned development is consistent with the comprehensive plan and any other adopted plans for the subject area;

b.

Whether the development plan complies with the MPD district provisions of Section 25.070;

c.

Whether the development will result in public benefits that are equal to or greater than those that would have resulted from development under conventional zoning (non-MPD) regulations; and

d.

Whether appropriate terms and conditions have been imposed on the approval to protect the interests of surrounding property owners and residents, existing and future residents of the MPD and the general public.

3.

Restrictive covenants. No building permit may be issued, and no building or development may occur in an MPD district until covenants necessary to reasonably ensure continued compliance with the approved development plan are recorded in the County Clerk's office. Such covenants may be established in a subdivision plat or in a separately recorded legal instrument. In order that the public interest may be protected, the City of Tulsa must be made beneficiary of the covenants pertaining to such matters as location of uses, height of structure, setbacks, screening, and access. Such covenants must provide that the City of Tulsa may enforce compliance of the covenants, and further provide that amendment of the covenants requires planning commission approval and the filing of record of a written amendment to covenants, endorsed by the planning commission.

4.

Issuance of building permits. Building permits may be issued only after a zoning clearance permit has been issued in accordance with Section 70.080 and covenants have been recorded in accordance with Subsection 25.070D.3. Any permits issued must be in accordance with the approved development plan.

E.

Abandonment. Abandonment of an approved MPD requires that the property be rezoned to another zoning district in accordance with the zoning map amendment procedures of Section 70.030 or that a new MPD be approved following the procedures of Subsection 25.070D.

F.

Use regulations and lot and building standards The use regulations and lot and building standards that apply within an MPD zoning district must be established at the time of development plan approval by the City Council.

G.

Other development standards.
