Bill > SB717

This bill modifies the boundaries and zoning authority of the Capitol-Medical Center Improvement and Zoning District in Oklahoma. Specifically, the bill expands the district's geographical boundaries by changing the northern boundary from Northeast Thirtieth Street to Northeast Fiftieth Street, which effectively increases the area under the district's jurisdiction. The bill also clarifies and limits the zoning authority of the Capitol-Medical Center Improvement and Zoning Commission by specifying that its exclusive zoning control applies only to properties zoned as commercial, public district, or health center within the district. The commission retains its authority to approve or disapprove the location and design of improvements on these properties, with "improvements" defined broadly to include buildings, highways, parking facilities, and other construction, but excluding existing municipal streets, alleys, utility services, and their maintenance. These changes aim to provide more precise guidelines for urban development and zoning in this specific area of Oklahoma. The bill is set to become effective on November 1, 2025.
