City planning staff told commissioners the plan covers an area bounded roughly by Highway 75 and Utica east‑west and I‑244 and 11th Street north‑south, and that the project plan aligns with the Pearl area sector and small‑area plans. Partner Tulsa (the city's economic development trust) representatives said the TIF is being established on an area‑wide basis to create a financing mechanism to support future public infrastructure and private projects consistent with the adopted plans; the plan includes a catalyst project that is not yet ready to move forward.

Several Pearl District property owners and the neighborhood association urged more proactive outreach and clearer notice when individual projects come forward seeking TIF assistance. Neighborhood leaders and property owners said they received minimal notice in advance of the TMAPC hearing and asked how they will be informed when developers submit specific project agreements seeking TIF dollars. Partner Tulsa counsel and staff said individual projects will come forward for separate consideration with design and performance requirements; partner Tulsa trustees and staff will review applications and the city council will hold the required public hearings before any TIF funds are committed. The project plan establishes the TIF apportionment period at 25 fiscal years.

Commissioners debated whether the commission's role is appropriately narrow (a conformance finding to the comprehensive plan) or whether more community engagement should be required at this step. The commission approved the plan and recommended it to city council; the city council will hold two public hearings before a final decision.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Tulsa - Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission - Jun 04, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","TMAPC found the proposed Pearl District Neighborhood Economic Development Project Plan (a TIF) in conformance with the comprehensive plan and recommended approval, while neighborhood representatives asked for earlier notice and clearer mechanisms for input when specific projects use TIF funding.","taxTitle","Tulsa, Tulsa County, Oklahoma","taxId",2682,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6530235,"Commission approves 'Clydesdale' industrial PUD to allow data‑center and industrial uses on 506 acres",1262,3734000,4996000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3681907-64fc2c2071839bf4183a04ac26af2cc0&start=3734&end=4996","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3681907-64fc2c2071839bf4183a04ac26af2cc0/thumbnail_3734000.jpg","/articles/6530235/Tulsa/Tulsa-County/Oklahoma/Commission-approves-Clydesdale-industrial-PUD-to-allow-datacenter-and-industrial-uses-on-506-acres","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6530235-d095a82d77e837b636dc6c79cbd318d2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771132838&Signature=k1gnClTDhHJUohvWBwZJNsvJ~vGOJNsDnSnuTAf2z~s9H2njqC6cK~viMadPoAto-EBe9JipFSa6YE6DfuKmzs-8zeiFKvubIB5Ov1n8PEjn-zcJWoZvgp5wvSJNOC8cXsziKUn11PM0JJBo9Mvlb-NJxDHNM1r~zYnGclP-5FFtot~7ONscQ9ybGSh0O1z73sYWYm5N8~BwkZ20IU~fTraZkHsRw0Pkst6m-vJSz9qFdz1p10wDZHm0tQdW~hCIY8WSaMH9EnGPgtBOo2zL6FoSlqSA0G8qj6X7zHyPb40zdsr3hW~31VCreSUrMmnGJPP35FGksW-f2lzWD3vTbg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The planning body recommended approval of a multi‑part proposal to rezone roughly 506 acres from agricultural to industrial (IL) and to adopt associated planned‑unit development standards (PUD 871) to permit a technology park with data‑center, office and light industrial uses.

County planning staff presented the project (called \"Clydesdale\") and said the site abuts the North Tulsa Commerce Center and includes an 815‑foot natural buffer along the eastern edge with floodplain and Ranch Creek drainage. The proposed PUD prescribes substantial safeguards: a 150‑foot landscape buffer, 300‑foot building setbacks along North Sheridan Road, limits on outdoor storage, and design standards for exterior materials. The PUD lists permitted accessory and utility uses typical for data centers (electrical substations, backup generators, cooling towers, fuel storage, battery storage equipment) and prohibits mining and mineral processing.

Applicant representatives said the project will be ringed by existing city water lines and that the developer will tap into those lines to avoid affecting rural water customers; they also noted meetings with local governments, the school district and workforce training partners. Representatives said the PUD intentionally preserves a wooded natural buffer on the east and that the topography helps screen development. Technological Advisory Group (TAG) notes included a request for an additional 20‑foot water line east of East 80th Street North.

Labor and trade union speakers urged approval for the construction and long‑term employment benefits. Nearby property owners and county staff raised floodplain and soils constraints; the applicant said those matters will be addressed during engineering and permitting. The commission voted to approve the rezoning and the PUD, with motions specifying approval of the PUD development standards as the condition for rezoning.","Tulsa County/TMAPC action recommended approval of rezoning and an associated PUD (PUD 871) to permit an industrial technology park including data centers, with sizable landscape buffers and setback requirements.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6530238,"Commission backs mixed‑use rezoning and comp‑plan amendment for Tisdale project despite neighborhood opposition",2231,517000,2748000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3681907-64fc2c2071839bf4183a04ac26af2cc0&start=517&end=2748","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3681907-64fc2c2071839bf4183a04ac26af2cc0/thumbnail_517000.jpg","/articles/6530238/Tulsa/Tulsa-County/Oklahoma/Commission-backs-mixeduse-rezoning-and-compplan-amendment-for-Tisdale-project-despite-neighborhood-opposition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6530238-d37e8bba87fb6c38d54443dedef69a87/orig.mp4?Expires=1771132838&Signature=KtD-M~k2nYjr9YYH0AJAwon8CmUhYQwhok9kkfAVrSDRbilxf9M3xnBHVmviijyvIP27TcuhF9GY~bzy-ps7khvPzvEW54moanp7~n9rPn6zsNdnan2YHUy7K5FU9gHV3biaSENBcLSSckROe~TplpaDkNOZ1emIH0cCputcZSbFxXHK5FIHblFa26W~y9EloDHKPGnmLbriUCtSbOYVvs1CLt4oPOkXFhXfU3YOKMey18Xb4K90yVdTQ8TYwuPteAsdcSou0BOSNVsEYuqumnnrRk-u9hGKNiCkWG3oVB2GV1lJJRefloLDmdxnESIHcB8eq6dP-Y1z7e~~a0-JFQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission on June 4 approved a comprehensive‑plan amendment and a rezoning to allow a mixed‑use development on about 16–17 acres south of West Apache adjacent to L.L. Tisdale Parkway. The two related items (comp plan amendment — item 9 — and rezoning — item 4) cleared the commission after staff recommended approval.

Applicant William Tisdale told commissioners the owner bought roughly 40 acres in the area and is proposing a mix of retail and multifamily: a roughly 20,000‑square‑foot medical clinic offering urgent care (not an emergency room), a health/wellness center, a no‑contact grocery concept that will offer delivery or curbside pickup, townhomes and about a hundred residential units overall rather than the 400+ apartments that could be developed under existing multifamily zoning. Staff described the rezoning request as converting the parcel from RM‑1 (multifamily) to an MX (mixed‑use) district with an MX‑2 use level, a variable character designation and a 55‑foot height cap.

Multiple neighborhood residents spoke in opposition at the public hearing, saying the change would commercialize a long‑established, historic neighborhood (Reservoir Hill), increase traffic and noise, reduce tree canopy and threaten property values. Several residents said they prefer retaining multifamily zoning rather than adding commercial uses; others questioned the grocery concept's \"no contact\" model and expressed skepticism about neighborhood outreach. The applicant said the project team held two neighborhood meetings and adjusted plans to increase buffering and use underground parking to reduce surface lots; engineer Michael Hicks said landscaping and new plantings were proposed to screen development and reduce visible hardscaping.

Commissioners were divided in comment. Some said the proposal is a thoughtful way to introduce services and moderate density; others, including a commissioner who raised the long stretch of mature trees in the area, urged caution about losing canopy and called for creative ways to retain green space. The commission first approved the comprehensive‑plan amendment and then approved the rezoning per staff recommendation.

Both votes were recorded by voice; the hearing minutes show motions to approve each item and commission approval on both items.","The commission approved a land‑use change and rezoning for a nearly 17‑acre project south of West Apache that would add mixed‑use buildings, a grocery concept and an urgent care to a Reservoir Hill‑adjacent site.

City planning staff told commissioners the property is bounded by AG zoning to the south and east and exceeds minimum lot standards for agricultural zoning. Planning staff recommended approval, noting the AG designation aligns with the neighborhood land‑use designation and would remove RS‑3 limits that forbid agricultural animals and restrict accessory building sizes.

Staff planner Nathan said the city ordinance limits large animals such as horses and cows to one per acre (meaning the 5‑acre parcel would be limited to five large animals) and that chicken allowances are more permissive (roughly six to ten birds under existing city rules). He also said the animal ordinance sets fencing requirements but there is no general screening requirement between agriculture and adjacent residential zones.

There were no members of the public signed up to speak on the item. A motion to approve the staff recommendation was made and seconded; the commission voted to approve the rezoning.

The approval changes what the property owner may lawfully keep on the lot (e.g., large livestock and accessory agricultural buildings) subject to the city animal ordinance and any required fencing or spacing standards. The commission record notes the staff report contained a clerical error identifying the requested change as \"mixed use,\" which staff corrected in the hearing to \"agricultural.\"","Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission approved a rezoning to allow agricultural uses, including limited large animals, on a just‑over‑5‑acre property formerly zoned RS‑3.","actionData","errors"]
