Emily Hall and other presenters described the proposal as a continuation of earlier cycles in partnership with Tulsa Public Schools and local recovery programs. The city is seeking $5 million; staff said roughly $4.3 million of the request would fund housing supports and approximately $700,000 would fund program governance, communications, Tulsa Fire Department continuation of an opioid response team and school‑based prevention programming through Tulsa Public Schools.

Staff described the housing component as using scattered‑site rapid rehousing and permanent supportive housing paired with recovery supports and case management. Officials said program outcomes depend partly on the availability of rental assistance vouchers in the community; staff estimated the grant could serve roughly 200–400 people across the three‑year grant period depending on voucher availability and other matching resources.

Councilors asked for more detail on how many housing units the funding would create or support; presenters said the number of individuals served will vary based on whether vouchers cover rental costs. Presenters also noted a planned 1:1 private match for some grant dollars and encouraged council support letters for the application. The item included an emergency clause to meet state deadlines for the June application.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Tulsa - Council Urban & Economic Development Committee - Jun 04, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City staff proposed a joint application with Tulsa Public Schools for a $5 million Oklahoma opioid grant; most funds (about $4.3M) would be directed to housing‑first interventions, including rapid rehousing and permanent supportive housing to serve people experiencing opioid use disorders among the unhoused.","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},6533654,"City moves TMUA funds to prioritize water main replacements and pump station work",243,1469000,1712000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3681908-00d1c762d01961ac2daf4a58fef26b83&start=1469&end=1712","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3681908-00d1c762d01961ac2daf4a58fef26b83/thumbnail_1469000.jpg","/articles/6533654/Tulsa/Tulsa-County/Oklahoma/City-moves-TMUA-funds-to-prioritize-water-main-replacements-and-pump-station-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533654-3f720372cbc37cff9a44b6edf4724425/orig.mp4?Expires=1771189296&Signature=YlG10KYPnSoG4MeSs4YoCtksjonW1YDSAmiDjI80plNVUKIukYusIbZYwjvEnZzCqDGk75MurGtOriNz8fNIG4-2zMWTvuP8pS6u4vKFg6d~3uOLdy7Zdk3N~BjTZvlLK4M4BwjC-TX~XUb77zD~bWOqzuPLOrwzv0C1IEXSUzfvpPVcnh0parhA2nykSCTrFbWI29y9i06MKrZ4w4wQrScQcOlaOirGS~L3RYJsrFComS0eLrQoAZ061yd2YKsiqc0Mbq~mjfUV2ECv4RuJCCs~we3C85EPbbd9U3wknJfqHVbOx0FvpFrpK3u-EAckjgdnt3mkFXeVnnQ~NGkQ9A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff briefed the committee on ordinances to transfer available appropriations within Tulsa Metropolitan Utility Authority (TMUA) subfunds to address water system priorities.

Jared and finance staff said bond premium and project savings from completed projects produced available balances that staff recommended reassigning to citywide water main replacements and a wood pump station. Staff described $5.88 million and $2.00 million transfers between TMUA subfund projects and explained those dollars came from projects that came in under budget and from bond premium on recent issuances.

Councilors asked whether the transfers would be tied to specific neighborhood projects and requested advance notice when construction will affect council districts. Staff said some projects were already identified—Berryhill water line replacements (upgrading 2‑inch lines to 6‑inch) and neighborhood replacements in the 56th/Columbia area—and that the appropriations would be allocated to a prioritized list of water main replacements as projects move to design and construction. Staff agreed to notify council offices when designs and schedules are set so councillors can inform constituents.

Committee discussion emphasized completing existing voter‑approved projects (IoT 1–3) rather than creating new scope; finance staff said the transfers would support completing those extents and that prioritization and maps previously provided to council remain the guide for allocations.","Finance staff described transfers of available TMUA bond premium and subfund balances to cover citywide water main replacements and a pump station project after some projects came in under budget; councilors asked for notification when specific neighborhood projects are scheduled.",{"_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},6533660,"Committee debates zoning code changes defining farmers markets and allowing roof signs downtown",418,470000,888000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3681908-00d1c762d01961ac2daf4a58fef26b83&start=470&end=888","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3681908-00d1c762d01961ac2daf4a58fef26b83/thumbnail_470000.jpg","/articles/6533660/Tulsa/Tulsa-County/Oklahoma/Committee-debates-zoning-code-changes-defining-farmers-markets-and-allowing-roof-signs-downtown","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533660-1cda8c0c2aa7eb5804b210a941dac4f4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771189296&Signature=bCgtbMibvRFJQ1xbZFA8-Ki2gZkgf7cvssMegTOzcBjjZSutrOk4~2JH9ADyX0CbBbAnrzVNOEddTM4WvL41a8le8e0fjRFaVW6JK1xgzShxqZQTnO7OmG26rfI0HEBGlMraZa~GWFEfWHMc4YiQwgd7UFMaXAJPChPQzRiGeRcGP4QhvxIoxY0KoJruHpXsj6z8DBNjtmE9akk7qhFSPDpvOSyHsi33hNmBDFZ9dr03kz6mUQWoe0JAqh4ME2V7i4b~B8kzExzzC3-V0zgfgSerWDutQH8XV2ZnO0HhP9ymlVgIejKgBMKuNS35frwzBo4p1kjYTsiKnmrwWb8jlw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Urban Economic Development Committee reviewed Ordinance Z‑7‑CA‑36 on June 4, a proposed amendment to Title 42 of the City of Tulsa zoning code that updates rules for farmers markets and roof signs.

Susan Miller of the planning office told the committee the farmers market provisions were developed with the health department and Councilor Hal Harper to clarify when a market is a principal use versus a temporary event. The draft definition requires registration with the Department of Agriculture, a minimum of six vendors to qualify as a market, parking standards for permanent outdoor shelters (0.85 spaces per 1,000 square feet) and rules about removing tents when markets are not operating.

Councilors questioned whether the Board of Adjustment (BOA) should have authority to permit farmers markets in residentially zoned areas. Councilor Lakin and others said they were concerned about “pop‑up” markets on single‑family lots and suggested striking R‑zoned districts from the BOA permission to avoid unexpected neighborhood impacts. Planning staff said standard setback and parking rules would still apply and that neighborhood locations are unlikely to meet those requirements without larger lots.

On rooftop signage, staff described a narrower historic downtown allowance being expanded to CBD (central business district) property and clarified that any roof sign would count against a lot’s overall sign budget. A speaker at the planning meeting had raised concerns about impacts to historic buildings; staff said wall signs can be as or more damaging structurally than roof signs and noted the BOA routinely approves sign variances when hardship is demonstrated.

Committee members asked staff to refine language removing R‑zoned or AGR zones from the BOA exception and to return with clarified text; the item remained in discussion with two weeks before a formal council packet deadline.","An ordinance (Z‑7‑CA‑36) to amend Tulsa’s zoning code (Title 42) to define farmers markets, set registration/parking criteria and to expand where roof signs are allowed drew questions about Board of Adjustment authority, neighborhood pop‑ups and historic building impacts.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6533664,"Committee hears rezoning request for 36‑unit apartment project near East 30th and Winston",315,63000,378000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3681908-00d1c762d01961ac2daf4a58fef26b83&start=63&end=378","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3681908-00d1c762d01961ac2daf4a58fef26b83/thumbnail_63000.jpg","/articles/6533664/Tulsa/Tulsa-County/Oklahoma/Committee-hears-rezoning-request-for-36unit-apartment-project-near-East-30th-and-Winston","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533664-a4c95956cd24fff19679163d09d2e609/orig.mp4?Expires=1771189296&Signature=SZMxAWjXdrGmYbDs3IFDw1KozGeXW4sZE0kdXb330SQZFee-KqP-lznVu128xPnN~zB5bKc4SFAAcv4rKhUSkLiMgGAem1iUwLEaNxAmgv36WIG-8IKChLXpFg82yEZddtDryFRWR7WI48-wBkFFbOBUkIzvN4KrHqY4J5bkGmq~Xx8hwQWfH7A8HvEufTpzx6GuAyVWgT4RhF-nhrnHe6s5EBf4EZaCcppb443VMfrX3DCyunCE~723wT5bLfVHqY~ZVbfmpHZfeT-p1V~GxcjxRNx-5y87BjnkOop3Tu9jLAkDn49WxQ5fa86LDr2kTJbkcA9udHk-~XUQF2fdzg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A rezoning application (C7810) that would rezone nearly 3 acres at the southwest corner of East 30 First Street South and South Winston Avenue to RM‑3 for a roughly 36‑unit apartment project was presented to the Urban Economic Development Committee on June 4.

Susan Miller, planning office, said the site currently includes several small commercial parcels and a few RS‑3 single‑family lots and that the proposal “fits in the land use plan.” She said the application would rezone the entire assemblage to RM‑3 to allow the multi‑family development and that Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission (TMAPC) had voted 9‑0 to recommend approval.

Councilors and staff discussed neighborhood reaction and developer experience. Councilor Busch said developers had rehabilitated nearby apartment properties and that the new project could “be a nice cleanup on the skirt of this,” noting concerns heard at neighborhood meetings about traffic and whether units would accept rental vouchers. A councilor also observed that “section 8 helps people not be homeless,” and the committee discussed the local need to preserve voucher access while addressing property conditions.

Staff said the concept plan shows approximately 36 apartments and noted the site plan and final unit count could change during permitting. Miller said utilities and fire access had been discussed with the applicant and that infrastructure capacity and sewer/water tie‑ins were in review. Councilors pressed staff for timeline clarity; a developer representative said construction timing would depend on permitting and submissions, and staff estimated the project could take on the order of 24–36 months to reach occupancy depending on permitting and when construction starts.

Neighbors raised traffic concerns to the planning commission, one business speaker at the commission expressed worry about traffic impacts, and staff said the applicant had met with neighbors and that feedback included both support and concerns. The planning office said the proposal aligns with the land‑use concept for multi‑family residential at the location but acknowledged that specific site plans, parking layouts and permit submittals could alter project details.

The committee did not record a final vote on the rezoning during the discussion captured in the transcript; staff noted TMAPC’s 9‑0 recommendation and that the item will move through the city’s rezoning process for final action.","Tulsa planning staff described a rezoning request (C7810) to convert nearly 3 acres at the southwest corner of East 30 First Street South and South Winston Avenue to RM‑3 for a proposed 36‑unit apartment development; planning recommended approval 9‑0 and councilors discussed neighborhood impacts, parking and voucher tenants.","actionData","errors"]
