The Riverfront Design Committee was established in 2007 to review proposed projects within the Scenic River Overlay Design District that includes six individual sub-districts extending along the Oklahoma River corridor from S Meridian Ave on the west to S Eastern on the east.

Committee review includes buildings and parcel development of 10,000 gross square feet or more involving new construction as well as expansions, or alterations to the exterior of existing buildings. In addition, the Committee reviews requests for demolition, murals, proposed Planned Unit Developments, proposed subdivisions, and all City projects such as parks, monuments, public art, landmarks, and bridges within the district.

The Review Committee applies the regulations and guidelines outlined in the new ordinance which establishes a framework for a variety of unique development opportunities along the Oklahoma River corridor and is intended to ensure a high level of consistency and quality while still allowing for flexibility and creativity in design.
