    Yale Theatre Will open in a new window 227 SW 25th ST Oklahoma City, OK 73109-5919 UNITED STATES

    Join us for lunch in OKC to learn about an innovative new development code in Tulsa, and discuss the outlook for new missing middle housing around the city.

    Tulsa adopted its new Neighborhood Infill Overlay in December 2021, after years of planning and community engagement in downtown-adjacent neighborhoods. In response to market studies and small area planning, the overlay removes barriers for new missing middle housing and brings historic missing middle building types into compliance with zoning. Some key features of the overlay include allowing Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) by right; adjusting lot width, size, and area requirements; and modifying parking requirements. As Oklahoma City continues to work on updated development regulations, we can learn from how Tulsa planners crafted and communicated this new policy.
