Summary

At second reading the Tulsa City Council heard a set of rezoning ordinances and a pair of ordinance amendments related to mobile food vendors and licensing, the latter described in the agenda as changes to align with state law commonly referred to as the "Food Truck Freedom Act" (bill number 1076).
The clerk read multiple rezoning items for different parcels around the city, including rezoning requests from residential to industrial or commercial designations and overlay development plan (ODP) items. The clerk also read an ordinance amending health regulations and the food code as they relate to mobile food vendors.
Kevin Mavens spoke in support of a project associated with item 7f and noted ongoing community engagement; project representatives offered to answer technical questions. After committee modifications and discussion, the council moved to approve items 7a through 7f as well as 7g and 7h with modifications and attached emergency clauses to 7g and 7h.
