Rezoning near Turkey Mountain: Staff described a rezoning application (Z7816) to change approximately 5 acres west of Turkey Mountain from RS-3 to AG to allow agricultural uses such as poultry and small livestock. Staff reported neighborhood support letters and said the Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval.

Budget transfer for CVS settlement subfund: Budget staff explained a clerical fiscal-year 2025–26 budget amendment transferring $668,000 in appropriations between departments within the CVS Oklahoma settlement subfund; the scope and projects were unchanged and the move reflects internal department management for invoice processing (moving funds from Planning and Neighborhoods to the Fire Department).

Airport ordinance updates: Jeff Shaw, director of risk and legal services for the airport, summarized amendments to Tulsa Revised Ordinances concerning airport definitions, lost-and-found procedures, vehicle operations on landside facilities, fuel-fee math and sign/display rules. Shaw said the changes modernize 2012-era language, align city code with FAA guidance and clarify enforcement on airport property; the airport also added a definition for \"expressive activity\" with predetermined permit locations and clarified that flag displays must be official American flags rather than politically modified variants.

Each item proceeded with routine questions; no committee final actions were recorded in the transcript for these items during the meeting segment provided.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Tulsa - Council Urban & Economic Development Committee - Jun 25, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The committee heard several shorter agenda items: a rezoning near Turkey Mountain to agricultural zoning, a clerical budget transfer of settlement funds, and an update to airport rules and definitions at Tulsa International Airport.","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},6657068,"Planning staff outlines mixed-use, medical development west of Reservoir Hill; TMAPC recommended approval",220,4590000,4810000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5091865-35fec99c6e644a8d63a5143d625108df&start=4590&end=4810","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5091865-35fec99c6e644a8d63a5143d625108df/thumbnail_4590000.jpg","/articles/6657068/Tulsa/Tulsa-County/Oklahoma/Planning-staff-outlines-mixed-use-medical-development-west-of-Reservoir-Hill-TMAPC-recommended-approval","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6657068-882bfa58136d290aed60c2198492a679/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169506&Signature=n0NyhJnlFzna10tKvoYQAdykjDW5teQ9ADug-B~n6sk~hS7A1IVjYSjQB1WmPvqPIMQ-v-OOxbVM8fQ1pVkaWJsrBRgMWsaA7fFLamGIWdLsvrqv17BE8axi5o0qaqwkANcV46PFv0gXJsn93Suft3h9eL2iWwKX-Bgew8Xo6hZ~OZPkQQORdhv6ib4Y8DPiH2hCA-NXgEBL~o0DxpVL3WUbA6gz21wN2-SDZR43DQKAinD0cw5L2pIu-rz0zo5hqHWr2AP4vuCYlXNN-foMpMNG8bMjw04r9hAxS547Tdna3PpIuaoESM12E6v41jmPPdLe3VCRd1NKfs69i0dD~w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Planning staff briefed the committee on a two-phase redevelopment proposal west of Reservoir Hill along LL Tisdale Parkway and West Apache Street that would introduce community-level mixed uses, including medical buildings and retail, plus residential development.

Staff said the immediate proposal covers roughly 16 acres with medical uses fronting Apache Street, mixed-use buildings with restaurant/retail and residences above, a parking structure and townhomes to the south. The sponsor is seeking an MX-2/V-55 (community mixed-use with up to 55 feet in height) zoning designation and a corresponding comprehensive-plan amendment from the Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission (TMAPC).

City staff said the TMAPC voted 9–1 to recommend the amendment. \"He already has some users on the medical buildings,\" a planning staff member told the committee, citing active discussions with potential tenants and the developer's intent to begin phase one soon.

The committee heard standard concerns tied to introducing commercial uses — traffic and neighborhood impacts — but staff said outreach with nearby neighbors generated support letters and few objections. The developer also described a broader master plan that would allow multifamily development on adjacent parcels in later phases without requiring subsequent rezoning requests.

No final council action was recorded in the committee transcript; staff said the matter will proceed through the formal council process following TMAPC's recommendation.","Planning staff described a proposed mixed-use development of about 16 acres along West Apache and LL Tisdale Parkway that would add medical and community-serving uses; Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission recommended a land-use amendment and rezoning by a 9–1 vote.",{"_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},6657072,"William Tisdale introduced for appointment to Tulsa Metropolitan Utility Authority; confirmation set for July 16",205,55000,260000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5091865-35fec99c6e644a8d63a5143d625108df&start=55&end=260","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5091865-35fec99c6e644a8d63a5143d625108df/thumbnail_55000.jpg","/articles/6657072/Tulsa/Tulsa-County/Oklahoma/William-Tisdale-introduced-for-appointment-to-Tulsa-Metropolitan-Utility-Authority-confirmation-set-for-July-16","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6657072-6b25898977944d7f9ae427abd2c01384/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169506&Signature=X-Q42gfcithBwRrwhD8jxB~qB~BfXNgnActgJjzgzpRmFe6D-ad5ZETeVHdduAr05~rGJWmT5T~zJrw~YjW6v6ZMpi3yFK52~PHclhhjKDI2iNvpEWNNP0lnrUv4ZDK3F1-Z72OZ4SkOgwVunmXYLld-r-b9arh-05oikcD3emQ3hstcewxiVCPNPOKNnqAVdJy3tC0d-qpadohjJQWtPfwxjqzOs1pgESj626mTOxq90DsQlZqFvAxOVBNUgCjYKBuWM~f-bJxh~uyzRKworg68j1j7EwVujlK8VtvO5R~S9UWEOoYJQTlxVyyliuPC9Spd~fz0sG~pXQqscWOjjg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","William Tisdale appeared before the Urban and Economic Development Committee Wednesday for an introductory confirmation hearing as the mayor's nominee to fill a vacancy on the Tulsa Metropolitan Utility Authority replacing Stephanie Pickers Regan.

Tisdale told the committee he is a longtime Tulsa resident who graduated from Booker T.

Tisdale said he has met with TMUA staff and other officials and expressed enthusiasm for serving. Committee members thanked him for stepping forward; Chair indicated the council confirmation is scheduled for the July 16 city council meeting at 5 p.m.

Committee members were presented a working-group proposal developed with Tulsa Police Department officials, downtown business leaders and youth-service partners after a string of violent incidents including a Juneteenth shooting. Brian Kurtz, CEO of the Downtown Tulsa Partnership, said downtown business owners and property owners urged the change. \"When my children find themselves in dangerous situations, my first reaction is to remove them from that situation,\" Kurtz said, adding that the ordinance is intended to remove young people from environments where illegal weapons, alcohol and other hazards are concentrated.

Deputy Chief Mark Womershauser of the Tulsa Police Department described the ordinance as a crowd-management tool. \"If you're willing to shoot someone, 25 feet away from law enforcement, an additional ordinance is not going to scare you away,\" he said, but added that moving the curfew earlier gives officers a chance to disperse groups before situations escalate. Womershauser told the committee TPD has recovered \"a 125 to a 150 guns\" inside the IDL over the last three years and said the department seized several hundred firearms citywide last year.

The committee heard repeated calls for accountability and transparent enforcement. \"We will ensure that there is accountability and transparency, with application of this,\" said Laurel Roberts, commissioner in the Mayor's Office, who said the mayor's office intends to work with TPD on data, body-camera review and community trust initiatives.

Other councilors pressed for additional data and narrower timelines. Councilor Hall Harper said she supports action but warned that \"a lot of officer discretion is involved in implementing or enforcing the ordinance\" and expressed concern that discretion could lead to unequal treatment of youth. Several members asked staff to provide regular updates and data if the ordinance is adopted — proposals included weekly reports on citations and demographics, and tighter sunset dates; councilors suggested alternatives including a 90-day review or earlier October sunset dates instead of the March 2026 date listed in the agenda.

Members of the mayor's office and community partners said the curfew proposal is only one part of a broader strategy that also includes a federally funded community-violence-intervention grant, partnerships with youth-service groups (including Youth Services of Tulsa, My Brother's Keeper and Impact Tulsa), and outreach to short-term rental operators. Kurtz and other proponents pointed to Oklahoma City's Bricktown ordinance, adopted last year, as a local example officials said had measurable benefits for crowd control.

Procedural questions surfaced over the emergency clause and adoption on first reading. Supporters argued urgent enforcement was needed because summer crowds concentrate downtown and delay would reduce the ordinance's immediate effectiveness. Opponents urged more data and stakeholder input before accelerating passage. No final vote appears in the committee record and sponsors said amendments and sunset timing could be considered before the council floor vote.

The committee discussion also covered operational details: how officers would confirm age (ID or questioning), the municipal court process for juveniles, transport and processing at the Community Intervention Center (CIC), and how citations or alternative dispositions (deferred sentences, community service) are handled. Deputy Chief Womershauser and other TPD speakers described customary field practice as education-first, with officers exercising discretion to disperse groups; where detention is necessary, juveniles may be transported to CIC and parents contacted.

Councilors who represent districts outside the Central Business District repeatedly cautioned that downtown-focused enforcement could displace problems to other neighborhoods and asked staff to evaluate impacts citywide. Multiple speakers asked that the city collect and release data showing age, race, residence (whether offenders live in Tulsa), whether firearms were involved, and whether incidents reflect gang activity versus other causes.

Committee members and city staff agreed to continue conversations with youth-service organizations and business stakeholders, and some members said the ordinance could be amended on the motion if the council approves it for first reading. Supporters asked the committee to consider an expedited schedule and weekly reporting if the emergency clause is enacted; opponents asked for a shorter sunset and more data before adoption.

At the end of the meeting, no final committee vote on adoption was recorded in the transcript; sponsors said confirmations of implementation details, reporting metrics and potential wording changes (including clarifying enforcement thresholds and defenses for patrons of establishments) remain under discussion.","The Urban and Economic Development Committee on Wednesday considered an ordinance to add 9 p.m. curfew hours for juveniles inside the Central Business District, with TPD and downtown business leaders urging immediate action while several councilors pressed for data, shorter sunsets and safeguards against disparate enforcement.","actionData","errors"]
