Unified Design Guidelines: Residential Structures within Historic Preservation Overlay Zoning Districts
2017. Unified Design Guidelines: Residential Structures within Historic Preservation Overlay Zoning Districts. Tulsa Preservation Commission; Oklahoma Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office. Tulsa, Oklahoma
From the Tulsa Preservation Commission Historic Preservation Zoning District Maps & Design Guidelines web page: "On January 11, 2017, the Tulsa City Council approved the resolution adopting the revisions of the Unified Design Guidelines for the six Historic Preservation Overlay Districts. The revisions became effective on February 22, 2017." From Historic Preservation Zoning Overview: "Historic neighborhoods seek out historic preservation (HP) zoning to provide extra protection from inappropriate alterations and unsympathetic new construction. Generally, the neighborhoods that would qualify for HP zoning are those that would be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. For example, all of Tulsa’s HP-zoned districts are also listed in the National Register. However, inclusion in the National Register does not require that the neighborhood pursue HP zoning. HP zoning requires that any exterior alterations or repairs (in some cases) are subject to review by the Tulsa Preservation Commission (TPC) before work can be done. Historic preservation zoning is technically referred to by city planners as “overlay” zoning. The historic preservation zoning is “overlaid” on top of the existing zoning. The existing zoning restrictions are unchanged. Instead they are supplemented by the conditions of historic preservation zoning. The existing zoning requirements control such issues as land use, building setbacks, parking requirements, lot coverage by structures, and building heights. Historic preservation overlay zoning does not prevent lot splits. HP Zoning and the Tulsa Preservation Commission are governed by the City of Tulsa’s Zoning Code. Download the Zoning Code at www.tulsapreservationcommission.org/zoning." Project funding was provided in part by a 2016 Historic Preservation Fund grant to City of Tulsa (project number OK-16-608) administered by the Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office (grant number P16AF00046) and the State, Tribal, Local, Plans & Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Tulsa, Oklahoma is a Certified Local Government.
