Description
Planning staff and City officials share an overview of the draft version of the City’s new comprehensive plan, planokc.
A
It
started
to
respect
those
that
showed
up
on
time,
so
thank
you
for
coming
tonight.
I'm
jim
koch,
I'm
city
manager,
at
city
of
Oklahoma,
City
and
tonight
is
the
fourth
and
final
plan
OKC
open
house,
and
we
are
here
tonight
to
one
celebrate
and
acknowledge
the
time
and
contribution
the
residents,
business
owners,
community
leaders
and
see
staff
just
committed
over
the
past
four
years
to
to
provide
a
plan.
Dr.
A
Dryden
overview
to
the
plan
document,
which
is
incredibly
comprehensive
in
scope
and
three
invite
citizens
to
take
a
look
at
the
final
draft
over
the
next
two
months.
During
the
final
public
review
and
comment
period
for
the
plan,
the
City
Planning
Department
facilitated
a
very
thorough
planning
process
that
included
numerous
workshops,
public
meetings,
surveys
and
online
tools.
A
We
convene
cities,
staff
working
groups
from
multiple
city
departments
to
define
challenges
facing
the
city
in
providing
quality
services
to
our
citizens
and
recommend
strategies
to
ensure
highest
quality
of
services.
We've
had
stakeholder
groups
focusing
on
each
of
the
plans.
Eight
elements
we've
had
healthy
communities,
oversights
group
focusing
on
the
overall
goal
of
building
our
community
to
promote
public
health.
A
We've
had
focus
groups
for
the
section
of
the
plan
dealing
with
land
use
and
development
and
environmentally
sensitive
areas,
and
we've
had
a
citizen's
advisory
team,
which
was
a
diverse,
27-member
mayor,
appointed
group
representing
all
the
different
topic
areas
of
the
plan.
How
many
of
those
folks
for
the
27-member
mayors
of
point
group
are
here
tonight
very
good.
Thank
you
for
your
efforts.
A
Okay,
so
how
many
of
you
participated
in
one
of
those
groups
that
I
mentioned
all
right?
How
many
of
you
participated
or
took
a
survey
or
an
exercise
online,
all
right,
very
good?
How
many
of
you
went
to
a
workshop
or
a
public
meeting
very
good?
I
really
thank
you
for
that,
because
that's
the
type
of
input
that
we
needed
and
we're
trying
to
get
to
to
get
the
document
that
we
have
today.
You
know
we
are
very
distracted
in
life.
We
have
a
lot
of
things
to
do.
A
Miami
heat
may
be
playing
the
thunder
at
six-30
tonight.
You
know
we
have
live
kids
as
soccer
practice.
We've
got
church
activities
out
there.
We've
got
a
lot
of
things
pulling
at
our
time
and
for
you
to
come
and
commit
to
this
project,
and
you
involved
in
this
project
is
something
that
we
really
really
appreciate,
and
we
really
really
need
the
community.
We
don't
want
just
a
few
coming
up
with
the
direction
and
the
policy
to
leave
the
city
in
the
future.
We
want
broad-based,
citizen
engagement
and
we
tried
to
achieve
it.
A
B
C
Okc
is
Oklahoma
City's
roadmap
for
the
future.
This
comprehensive
plan
will
guide
us
in
achieving
our
goal
of
continuing
to
build
a
healthy
and
safe
city
with
thriving
schools,
dynamic,
neighborhoods,
growing
businesses
and
outstanding
sustainable
public
services,
whether
it's
carefully
planning
a
new
neighborhood
or
strengthening
a
historic
one,
protecting
our
parks
and
natural
resources
or
widening
an
important
roadway
plan.
C
Okc
includes
guiding
principles
carefully,
aligned
with
our
collective
vision
as
a
city,
thousands
of
Oklahoma
City
residents,
business
leaders
and
community
stakeholders
from
every
walk
of
life
have
spent
years
contributing
to
plan
OKC
and
it
reflects
their
ideas,
passion
and
resourcefulness
plan.
Okc
seemingly
covers
every
base
from
arts
and
culture
to
utilities
and
public
safety.
D
F
You
will
be
impacted
by
what
is
in
this
plan,
especially
for
parents
and
children
in
school.
They
have
plans
and
policies
and
implementations
that
will
affect
the
future
of
that
child,
because
that
child
is
our
future.
It
would
behoove
every
person
in
this
city
or
anyone
who
wants
to
move
into
the
city
to
take
a
look
at
what
the
plans
are
for
the
city
in
the
future.
So.
G
Again,
thank
you
guys
so
much
for
coming.
We
really
appreciate
all
of
you
that
raised
your
hands
that
have
been
involved
in
the
fact
that
you're
here
now
is
never
too
late
to
be
involved,
and
I
was
just
speaking
to
some
people
a
few
minutes
ago
about
the
fact
that
this
is
a
comprehensive
plan
that
we
have
built
with
a
lot
of
input
and
thoughtful
participation
over
several
years.
But
this
is
not
the
end
and
end
of
developing
a
plan.
G
We
want
this
plan
to
be
a
living
breathing
document
that
we
use
and
that
we
continue
to
modify
an
update
as
our
city
grows
and
changes,
so
any
inputs
that
you
can
provide
for
the
document
that
we
are
going
to
move
forward
and
adopt.
We
want
to
encourage
you
to
do
that,
but
we
also
want
you
to
continue
to
be
involved
with
the
city
as
we
do
grow
as
we
do
use
this
plan
to
make
decisions
to
help
us
make
it
a
better
plan
for
the
future.
G
So
tonight
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
give
you
an
overview
of
what
the
plan
is,
how
it
works
and
give
you
a
little
bit
of
a
background
into
the
process
that
we
went
through
to
prepare
the
plan,
and
then
we
want
to
have
time
to
invite
you
to
go
out
into
the
lobby
where
we'll
have
refreshments
and
we'll
have
our
staff
on
hand
with
boards
that
talk
about
each
one
of
the
plan.
Components,
if
you
have
a
specific
interest
in
any
of
those
pieces,
will
have
staff
available
to
answer
your
questions
one
on
one.
G
So
that's
how
we're
set
up
tonight
and
I
wanted
to
start
with
that,
giving
you
a
brief
overview.
The
fact
that
you're
here
makes
me
think
that
you
know
what
a
comprehensive
plan
is,
but
we
always
like
to
clarify
what
it
is
and
what
it
isn't.
It
is
a
very
long
range
plan
document
we
have
to
project
growth
and
patterns
and
trends
out
for
decades.
G
So
that
we
understand
where
we're
going
and
how
we
might
need
to
respond
to
that
growth
over
the
coming
years,
in
our
plan
calculations,
we
looked
at
220
50s
that
we
could
get
a
handle
on
how
many
people
in
jobs
we
were
going
to
have
to
accommodate
in
our
community
in
that
period
of
time.
This
document
is
a
document
that
the
city
uses
developers
use
and
the
public
uses.
G
It
is
a
policy
document
which
is
different
from
a
regulatory
one
say
like
what
zoning
would
be
on
your
prop
or
what
a
city
ordinance
or
code
would
be,
which
is
a
mandatory
thing.
A
planning
document
is
a
policy
document
that
gives
people
information
and
direction
for
making
decisions
and
making
changes
in
the
future.
We
have
to
address
all
of
the
components
of
our
community
and
a
comprehensive
plan,
everything
from
looking
at
all
of
the
inputs
that
come
in
and
decision-making
how
a
city
grows
and
evolves.
It's
a
complicated
organism.
G
It
involves
people
and
jobs
and
community
neighborhoods
new
development,
existing
development,
public
safety.
All
of
these
things
work
together
and
interact
together,
and
therefore
we
have
to
think
about
it.
As
those
pieces
that
one
has
an
impact
on
the
other,
the
purview
of
the
plan
is
not
just
limited
to
what
the
city
or
city
government
can
do
and
does
do
on
a
daily
basis.
Our
plan
reaches
out
into
the
community
understanding
that
there
are
partnerships
that
we
can
form.
G
G
So
the
big
question
at
hand
is:
how
do
we
plan
for
all
of
these
complicated
pieces
to
come
together
and
project
out
where
we're
going
as
a
community?
What
we
looked
at
is
where
we
are
today
about
over
600,000
people
live
in
our
community
today
and
when
we
look
at
the
next
several
years
of
growth,
we're
projecting
300,000,
more
people,
half
of
our
population,
adding
back
in
with
a
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
more
jobs
coming
to
Oklahoma
City.
Where
are
those
people
going
to
live
where
the
jobs
going
to
be
located?
G
What
is
the
quality
of
our
community
going
to
be
like
for
those
new
populations
moving
in
and
how
do
they
affect
the
existing
residents
that
are
here?
So
how
should
we
grow?
How
do
we
interact
with
that,
where
we're
going
to
live,
work
and
play
and
learn-
and
that
is
a
big
question-
takes
a
lot
of
thought
and
what
we
have
gone
through
as
an
extensive
process
at
first
identifying
what
our
communities
issues
are
understanding
what
our
citizens
are
concerned
about.
G
Looking
at
trends
that
have
happened
with
the
way
that
our
city
has
grown
on
way
that
we've
responded
to
that
growth
over
the
years.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
really
understood
it
wasn't
a
perception,
but
it
was
validated.
So
we
conducted
many
surveys
and
studies
to
make
sure
that
we
really
understood
the
dynamics.
That's
quantifiable
information.
G
We
also
worked
with
our
community
to
set
goals
of
where
we
would
like
to
be
understanding
that
we
have
these
issues
and
challenges
presented
to
us,
and
then
we
started
developing
strategies
and
policies
that
we
could
start
to
implement
to
achieve
those
goals.
Over
the
coming
years.
We
ended
up
looking
at
growth
patterns
for
the
city
and
how
those
growth
patterns
would
influence
how
we
could
achieve
those
goals
and
put
all
of
this
content
together
into
a
small
400-page
plan
document.
G
So
we
are
here
now
at
the
end,
with
the
400-page
plan
document,
understanding
that
it
is
very
complicated.
It
is
a
lengthy
read,
there's
a
lot
to
cover.
We
want
to
invite
each
of
you
to
take
a
look
at
that
and
we're
not
asking
you
to
have
comments
about
that
on
the
spot
tonight.
So
we
have
extended
a
public
review
and
comment
period
over
a
60-day
period.
G
To
give
you
plenty
of
time
to
think
about
and
read
and
and
give
us
your
feedback
on
that
plan,
then
it
will
go
through
the
adoption
process,
which
also
involves
an
opportunity
for
the
public
to
kind
of
speak
in
public
meeting.
Several
public
meetings,
the
Planning
Commission
will
hold
and
council
will
hold
before
the
plan
is
in
effect
and
as
I
mentioned,
even
once,
the
plan
is
adopted,
there's
still
opportunities
to
improve
upon
that
plan
over
time.
G
So
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
you
all
have
been
involved.
Since
many
of
you
raised
your
hands,
you've
already
been
doing
some
of
these
things,
but
what
we've
tried
to
do
throughout
this
process
is
understand
the
way
that
the
community
needs
to
engage
with
city
government
in
our
past
planning
efforts
years
and
years
ago.
G
The
model
was
to
hold
public
meetings
to
appoint
people
or
assign
people
responsibilities,
to
participate
on
teams
or
in
groups
to
come
to
a
location
after
work
or
during
the
workday,
and
sit
down
at
a
table
and
pull
up
your
sleeves
and
work.
Well,
as
our
city
manager
mentioned,
we
all
have
very
complicated
and
busy
lives,
and
that
model
has
not
really
been
best
model
for
today's
age.
So
we've
tried
to
adapt
our
public
engagement
to
allow
people
to
participate
online
at
different
times
during
the
day
in
different
locations
around
the
city.
G
G
So
it's
important
information
for
us
to
figure
out
how
we
need
to
respond
to
that
and
how
developers
might
need
to
respond
to
that
with
a
product
that
they're
delivering.
We
also
wanted
to
understand
how
we
get
by
in
the
retail
competitive
retail
market
that
cities
have
today.
Many
of
you
might
know
that
city
government
funds,
the
majority
of
its
operations
through
sales,
tax
revenues,
retail
and
sales
tax
is
an
important
component
to
our
city.
G
It's
also
one
of
those
things
we
can't
live
without
and
we
know
we
need,
but
with
a
city
so
large
and
with
so
much
opportunity
for
people
to
start
new
businesses
and
to
keep
up
old
businesses
becomes
a
point
at
which
you
need
to
really
start
being
strategic
with
strengthening
nodes
of
retail
and
putting
retail
where
people
are
going
to
visit
that
the
most
within
our
city
limits.
So
we
studied
that
to
do
a
retail
plan,
so
we
could
really
focus
in
and
help
strengthen
the
retail
market.
G
G
Looking
at
the
population
coming
to
Oklahoma
City
and
the
anticipation
two
places
people
might
move
and
whether
or
not
our
existing
park
system
is
going
to
be
enough
to
accommodate
that
growth,
so
that
we
could
get
ahead
of
the
curve
so
that
we
could
evaluate
what
people
were
going
to
start
using
parks
for
in
the
future
and
whether
or
not
our
existing
model
was
what
we
needed
moving
forward.
We
also
wanted
to
understand
the
market
that
we
had
to
be
competitive,
to
bring
in
large
scale
employers.
G
Many
other
cities
who
bring
in
very
large
companies
have
large
tracts
of
land
that
attract
those
employers
to
Oklahoma,
City
and
believe
it
or
not.
We
do
have
a
lot
of
land,
but
it's
not
necessarily
going
to
be
attractive
to
everybody
if
it's
not
held
in
large
pieces
that
they
could
quickly
and
easily
assemble.
So
we
did
a
study
with
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
to
look
at
and
analyze
the
land
in
Oklahoma
City
to
see
where
the
best
locations
would
be
to
help.
G
Let
employers
know
we
have
land
ready
for
them
to
come,
build
to
support
our
community
and
bring
in
jobs.
With
all
of
this,
we
wanted
to
look
at
how
everything
comes
together,
and
this
is
where
we
use
some
really
good,
high-tech
computer
modeling
to
take
those
300,000
people
and
170
thousand
jobs
and
look
at
how
we
grow,
and
these
images
on
the
screen
show
three
different
scenarios.
We
modeled
with
that
program.
G
And
then
we
calculated
the
cost
associated
with
that.
Not
just
the
cost
of
the
city
supplying
services
to
the
community,
but
also
the
cost
to
the
community.
In
terms
of
things
like
how
much
money
do
you
spend
in
gas
getting
from
your
house
to
your
job
every
day
and
back
air
quality
issues,
environmental
issues,
so
quality
of
life,
types
of
calculations?
G
So,
with
all
of
these
things,
all
of
these
inputs,
we
were
able
to
try
to
get
to
the
place
that
we
are
now.
We
also
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
understood
those
intangible
variables
that
we
couldn't
get
from
doing
a
study
or
an
analysis,
and
this
is
where
we've
held
all
the
different
types
of
public
meetings.
Many
special
meetings
going
out
to
groups
and
organizations
talking
to
them,
working
with
the
chamber,
school
districts
and
other
city
managers
and
our
surrounding
cities.
And
then
we
did
develop
our
stakeholder
groups.
G
So
this
was
a
great
tool
that
we
had
to
give
us
insights
and
the
real
issues
and
challenges
that
are
facing
our
neighbors
today.
Again,
a
neighborhood
workshop
and
gold
development
workshops.
We've
also
met
with
all
the
commissions
and
committees
that
deal
with
decision-making
on
a
day-to-day
basis
for
the
city
to
find
out
what
challenges
they
perceive
and
what
tools
they
would
need
to
do
their
work
in
the
best
possible
way.
G
And
then
we
drill
down
into
pieces
of
the
plan
once
we
developed
it
with
focus
groups
and
those
focus
groups
really
started
to
look
at
how
the
policies
impacted
day-to-day
business
that
we
do
and
issues
with
a
suburban
growth,
rural
growth,
making
sure
that
we
accommodate
all
of
the
different
lifestyle
options
that
we
serve
in
Oklahoma
City
today
and
then
I
mentioned
online
feedback.
We
tried
to
do
as
much
as
possible
to
replicate
what
we
did
in
the
public
with
opportunities
for
people
to
go
online.
G
We
had
some
great
tools
that
we
used
a
crowd
gauge
survey,
which
talked
about
people's
priorities
for
the
future
and
see
and
tried
to
see
if
the
actions
that
the
city
could
put
in
place
actually
would
support
those
priorities,
and
it
was
a
great
exercise
of
balance
and
knowing
that
there's
not
enough
money
and
not
enough
time
to
go
around
to
make
everything
happen
for
everybody.
We
have
to
choose
our
priorities,
so
this
was
a
really
good
tool
to
try
to
gauge
where
we
should
focus
our
efforts
of
the
surveys
that
we
did.
G
A
lot
of
those
studies
were
accompanied
by
surveys.
These
were
statistically
significant
surveys,
meaning
that
we
had
to
get
a
certain
sample
size
to
represent
the
general
population
of
Oklahoma
City
that
sample
size
had
to
represent
the
demographics
of
our
city,
so
that
we
knew
it
wasn't
just
targeting
one
specific
group
within
the
community,
but
really
representing
our
community
as
a
whole.
G
So
we
we
focused
in
on
housing,
needs
and
demands
what
people
thought
about
community
appearance
in
Oklahoma
City,
what
we
could
be
doing
better
and
what
might
be
influencing
people's
choices
of
where
they
lived.
What
home
they
purchased,
whether
they
felt
safe
in
certain
neighborhoods
a
park
survey
about
whether
or
not
our
park
system
was
really
serving
people's
needs,
business
surveys
and
an
overall
general
survey
at
the
end
of
the
process.
G
So
what
this
means
is
we're
really
going
to
start
focusing
on
getting
options
for
people
to
use
public
transportation
better
and
more
efficiently
to
ride
their
bikes
on
city
streets,
which
we're
starting
to
really
understand
and
deal
with
a
connected
bicycle
trails
system
and
we're
looking
at
more
sidewalks
we're
putting
those
sidewalks
in
with
our
Maps
projects.
We
know
that
we
have
a
lot
of
ground
to
cover,
but
we
know
that
people
are
asking
for
the
ability
to
do
that,
and
it's
a
very
important
one
for
us
to
address.
G
Healthy
citizens
it.
These
are
in
no
particular
order
of
importance
by
the
way,
because
it
is
very
important
that
our
community
is
healthy
and
stays
healthy,
and
we
know
the
way
that
we
build
our
community
and
design.
Our
community
influences
our
behaviors
and
our
patterns.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
create
that
urban
environment
that
makes
a
healthy
choice
and
easy
choice
for
people.
G
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
attractive
community.
We
know
that
we
will
attract
more
people
to
come
to
Oklahoma
City
and
stay
in
Oklahoma
City
and
enjoy
where
it
is,
keep
our
property
values
high,
and
this
is
a
ander
that
all
of
us
would
aspire
to
achieve.
We
want
our
neighborhoods
to
thrive.
Of
course,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
stable,
safe,
attractive
and
vibrant.
We
know
that,
as
our
city
has
grown
and
as
we've
developed,
new
neighborhoods
older
neighborhoods
have
not
had
the
same
level
of
care
as
they've
aged
out.
G
We
want
to
make
sure
that
our
development
patterns
are
efficient,
that
we're
able
to
continue
to
serve
the
community
with
high
level
services.
We
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
development
happens,
we
think
about
sustainability,
that
economic
sustainability,
the
quality
of
life,
peace
for
our
community,
and
we
also
want
to
keep
in
mind
the
fact
that
Oklahoma
City
has
some
great
natural
character
and
that
we
have
areas
where
we
have
prairies
rivers.
We
have
wooded
areas
in
the
eastern
part
of
our
city.
G
We
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
the
city
grows,
that
we
respect
our
natural
resources
are
high
quality
of
water.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
protect
the
rural
character
that
people
have
bought
into
and
love
so
much
and
living
in
that
lifestyle.
So
these
are
a
lot
of
goals
for
us
and
how
we
have
organized
our
plan
around
this,
hopefully,
will
help
us
achieve
all
of
those
big
picture
ideas.
The
three
major
pieces
of
the
plan
document
that
you
will
see
when
you
go
in
to
review.
G
It
is
a
development
framework
that
deals
with
the
day-to-day
decision-making
for
new
development.
That's
going
to
happen
in
the
future.
The
other
piece
is
breaking
the
plan
down
into
elements,
and
these
elements
are
things
like
transportation,
Parks
and
Recreation
economic
development,
and
really
focusing
in
on
some
initiatives
that
we
could
do.
G
These
initiatives
could
be
partnerships,
programs
that
can
be
changes
to
legislation,
things
that
are
maybe
a
little
bit
beyond
the
day-to-day
operations
and
dealings
of
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
all
of
these
things
are
organized
and
implemented
and
that
we're
able
to
continue
to
focus
on
our
priorities.
So
it's
very
important
to
have
a
system
that
we
can
keep
track
of
all
of
these
things
and
understand
who
is
responsible
for
doing
what
and
having
goals
for
implementing
them
within
a
certain
timeframe.
G
So,
first
on
the
development
framework
just
to
walk
you
through
this
is
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
a
comprehensive
plan
is
to
develop
a
land
use
plan.
The
land
use
plan
is
coming
up
with
categories
to
put
land
in
Oklahoma
City.
According
to
these
land
use
typology
areas.
This
describes
the
type
of
development
that
happens
in
different
places
in
oklahoma
city,
in
terms
of
what
types
of
land
uses
exist.
G
In
that
how
dense
those
areas
are
in
terms
of
how
many
people
live
per
square
mile
and
the
intensity
of
development
in
that
and
the
physical
characteristics
of
that
development,
and
when
you
look
at
the
way
that
development
patterns
are
spread
across
Oklahoma
City,
you
start
to
see
some
of
these
land
use
typology
forming.
We
have
dense
downtown
areas.
We
have
inner-city
suburban
I
mean
urban
areas.
G
We
have
suburban
areas,
we
have
rural
areas,
so
those
are
the
types
of
land-use
patterns
we've
seen
and
we
base
these
areas
on
the
suitability
and
the
availability
of
land.
We
have
to
accommodate
future
growth
and
the
efficiency
of
the
services
that
we
have
to
provide
and
accommodate
that
growth,
and
this
is
what
the
land
use
plan
map
looks
like
on
this
next
slide,
a
lot
of
different
colors,
a
lot
of
different
designations.
G
This
land
use
plan
map
is
more
detailed
than
any
of
the
Land
Use
Plan
maps
that
we've
ever
used
before,
because
our
city
is
a
dynamic
creature
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
can
direct
growth
where
it's
most
appropriate
in
key
locations
where
we
believe
it
will
be.
Most
successful
and
most
readily
served,
so
these
different
type,
ologies
I,
will
briefly
go
through
in
the
next
slide
that
we
have.
Our
urban
are
open
space
areas
and
our
rural
areas.
We
have
our
lowest
density
and
intensity
of
development
in
those
areas
acreages
and
farms.
G
We
have
our
urban
areas
and
within
those
urban
areas
we
have
low
medium
and
high
designations
of
urban
and
our
downtown
area
we're
also
looking
at
a
system
of
layering
typology.
So
we
know
within
each
of
those
we're
going
to
have
areas
of
concentration
or
focus
on
specific
things
like,
for
example,
a
regional
district
might
exist
within
one
of
our
suburban
areas
or
one
of
our
downtown
areas.
We
have
urban
commercial
districts
across
the
city
in
specific
locations.
G
We
want
to
encourage
transit,
oriented
development,
so
this
is
where
our
public
transportation
system
could
be
developed
and
have
development
complement
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
places
that
are
heavy
industrial
for
heavy
industrial
development,
because
a
lot
of
times,
heavy
industrial
development
is
not
the
best
neighbor
to
things
like
an
in
a
burr
hood.
We
have
to
protect
our
neighborhoods
against
certain
types
of
land
uses
and
urban
reserve.
G
So
the
next
slide
just
shows
all
of
the
different
types
of
land
uses
that
come
together
in
Oklahoma
City
and
to
accommodate
all
of
these
things.
We
don't
want
to
preclude
mixes
of
uses
existing
next
to
each
other,
where
they
are
good
neighbors.
So
we've
developed
a
system
so
that
you
can
look
at
land
use
and
the
compatibility
of
these
different
types
of
developments
with
their
next-door
neighbors.
So,
as
the
city
develops
and
his
new
development
proposals
come
into
the
city,
you
would
have
to
evaluate
that
development
based
on
the
land
use
typology
area.
G
That's
defined
and
you'd
also
have
to
look
at
other
impacts
that
that
development
would
have
to
its
neighbors,
such
as
traffic
issues,
the
scale
of
the
building,
whether
or
not
it's
compatible
with.
What's
existing
next
door
to
it.
The
way
the
site
is
designed
and
other
operational
impacts
things
like
noise,
odor
light.
If
you
can
evaluate
a
project
against,
what's
going
next
door,
you
can
you
can
build
a
better
quality
project
that
helps
to
offset
some
impacts
to
that
project
that
might
have
been
considered
incompatible
in
the
past,
but
through
thoughtful
design
and
consideration.
G
We've
also
looked
at
how
our
streets
complement
the
land
use
that
happens
on
both
sides
of
them,
understanding
that
we
have
streets
that
stretch
all
the
way
across
Oklahoma
City
that
are
classified
as
an
arterial
Street,
for
example.
But
we
know
that
the
character
of
that
changes
from
one
edge
of
the
city,
that
arterial
Street
is
a
very
rural
in
character
and,
as
it
travels
through,
our
city
becomes
very
urban
and
character
and
then
might
end
up
being
rural
on
the
other
side
of
our
city.
G
Again,
the
design
of
that
street
directly
impacts
how
successful
the
operations
will
be
in
the
future.
Development
will
be
on
both
sides
of
that
street,
so
the
system
for
establishing
typology
so
that
we
have
an
idea
in
the
future
as
we're
doing
Street
improvement
projects
or
Street
widening.
We
know
how
we
can
support
the
type
of
development
that
we
would
like
to
promote
in
Oklahoma
City
across
those
corridors,
and
the
next
slide
shows
a
picture
of
what
we're
talking
about
for
each
one
of
those
street
classifications.
G
We've
done
what
the
ultimate
Street
profile
would
look
like,
knowing
that
we
have
to
work
with
this.
In
each
specific
location
in
Oklahoma
City
and
modify
it
to
the
right
of
way
that
we
have
to
work
in
and
to
what's
happening
on
both
sides
of
the
street.
But
this
gives
us
a
better
idea
of
the
aim
that
we
have
to
make
sure
that
our
land
use
system
in
our
transportation
system
is
going
to
support
and
complement
each
other.
G
We
also
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
we're
spending
money
on
our
capital
improvements
moving
into
the
future
that
we're
able
to
understand
all
the
different
components
that
go
into
giving
those
those
limited
dollars
our
priority,
we
want
to
provide
as
much
analysis
and
this
comprehensive
plan
to
decision-makers
as
possible.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
considering
the
need
for
the
improvement
based
on
what
we
currently
have
and
the
gaps
that
we
currently
have
in
our
system.
G
This
chapter
is
live,
okay,
see
each
one
of
the
chapters
is
given
a
little
name
that
ties
back
to
the
planet.
Okc
theme
so
live
okc
is
our
communities
element
and
within
each
element.
This
is
where
we've
captured
our
communities
goals.
So,
for
example,
the
communities
element
has
seven
goals
for
neighborhood
safety,
schools,
housing,
neighborhood
stability,
food
systems,
transportation,
choice
and
social
connection.
How
we've
organized
the
plan
is
to
make
sure
that
we
have
initiatives
that
address
each
one
of
those
goals.
G
We
also
understand
that
those
initiatives
may
address
more
than
one
of
those
goals,
so
we've
put
the
initiatives
together
in
the
plan
to
outline
which
of
those
goals
they're
addressing
so
for
an
example.
Some
of
our
initiatives
might
be
to
enhance
crime
prevention
and
effective
policing
which
strengthens
neighborhoods
to
incorporate
safety
into
neighborhood
design.
This
is
getting
down
to
the
level
of
actually
building
new
neighborhoods
and
thinking
about
them
in
different
ways,
so
they
have
different
influences
to
the
people
who
live
there
and
surrounding
areas.
G
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
you
can
see
how
each
one
of
those
initiatives
is
then
outlined
in
the
plan
with
more
detail.
So,
for
example,
the
seventh
initiative
to
revitalize
and
stabilize
urban
neighborhoods
talks
about
some
actual
tasks
and
things
we
can
do
and
check
off.
One
of
those
might
be
to
expand
rehabilitation
and
redevelopment
programs
to
stabilize
the
physical
fabric
of
neighborhoods.
G
So
with
each
one
of
these
elements,
you
will
see
hundreds
of
strategies
and
initiatives
and
how
they
tie
back
to
the
communities
goals
in
the
process
and
how
we're
keeping
track
of
that
is
through
this
implementation
matrix.
So
for
each
one
of
those
policy
recommendations
we're
identifying
who
does
it?
What
goals
and
initiatives
they
tie
back
to
understanding
that
one
of
those
community
initiatives
for
neighborhoods
may
not
just
be
supporting
a
goal
for
the
neighborhoods
element,
but
it
also
might
be
tying
into
a
transportation
element.
G
Initiative
of
connecting
people
to
their
places
of
work
or
to
their
corner
store
through
a
connected.
Sidewalk
system
may
be
an
environmental
issue.
They
may
have
crossed
connecting
goals
and
issues
in
this
document.
We
want
to
identify
what
type
of
implementation
action
it
might
be.
Who
is
the
responsible
party
for
helping
get
it
done
and
when
we
should
expect
that
we
are
going
to
be
able
to
accommodate
all
of
these
different
initiatives
with
limited
staff
resources
and
limited
time
frames,
knowing
that
it
is
a
long-range
plan?
G
This
was
the
hardest
part
of
our
document
to
do
because
we
feel
like
we
want
to
do
everything
tomorrow,
but
we
know
that
it's
going
to
take
years
to
fully
implement
our
plan.
So
what's
next
in
this
process?
Well,
of
course
I
mentioned
you
are
here,
because
we
want
your
input.
We
want
your
feedback
and
our
public
review
and
comment
period
will
be
open,
the
middle
of
March
and
you
have
two
ways
of
seeing
the
plan.
It's
online
at
OKC,
open
comment
us
and
there
are
hard
copies
available
in
local
library.
G
So,
if
you're
a
hardcopy
person,
you
really
want
to
see
it
fill
it
and
read
it.
You
can
use
comment
cards
in
the
library
and
give
them
to
the
staff
at
the
library
and
they
will
turn
them
in
tests
after
that,
as
I
mentioned,
we'll
finalize
the
plan
and
route
it
for
adoption,
so
we're
looking
at
probably
April
and
May
for
that
process
and
I
wanted
to
quickly
show
you
for
the
online
comment
to
how
easy
it
is
to
use.
This
is
a
snapshot
from
the
OKC
open
comment
page.
G
G
It
shows
that
you
can
highlight
any
section
of
text
highlight
any
portion
or
paragraph
in
that
plan
document
and
leave
a
comment.
So
when
you
click
on
that,
it'll
pull
up
a
comment
field
type.
Your
comment
in
and
then
you'll
see
that
it's
worked
by
a
little
bubble
that
pops
up,
so
you
can.
You
can
click
on
other
people's
bubbles
and
read
what
they've
written
in
a
comment
about
that.
That
way,
if
somebody's
already
captured
what
you
think
you
might
not
need
to
spend
the
time
to
write
an
additional
comment,
it's
a
very
easy
process.

So
if
you
have
questions
specific
to
that,
he's
our
expert
planner
on
that,
let's
see
where
else
we
have
staff
hiding
in
the
back
of
the
room.
There's
Randy
ends
in
the
corner.
Randy,
specialty
and
focus
is
transportation
element,
but
you
can
talk
to
him
about
environmental
or
parks
and
recreation
as
well.
G
Jared
Martin
jared
is
our
official
environmental
expert
who
will
be
outside.
If
you'd
like
to
talk
to
him
about
the
green
OKC
element,
see.
Who
else
do
we
have
John
John
tankard?
Is
our
staff
person
who
did
our
health
impact
assessment
for
our
plan,
which
is
one
of
the
first
health
impact
assessments
that
I
think
our
city
or
any
other
city
that
I
know
of
has
done
on
a
comprehensive
plan
of
this
scale
before
so.
We
really
applaud
his
efforts.
There
are
other
people
out
in
the
lobby.
G

You
can
ask
her
questions
too,
even
though
she's
probably
not
really
officially
on
the
clock
with
that
that
we'd
like
to
invite
you
for
question
and
answer
in
the
lobby,
and
thank
you
again
for
coming
tonight.
We
will
be
here
as
long
as
need
be,
even
though
they'll
probably
try
to
kick
us
out
at
seven-thirty,
but
thanks
again
for
coming.
