This land use plan covers the corridor along NE 23rd Street from Broadway Avenue to Interstate 35.

The NE 23rd Street Corridor, covering the area one-half mile along the north and south sides of NE 23rd Street from Broadway Avenue to Interstate-35, is an area that has been the subject of several past planning studies. The previous studies were not adopted as part of the OKC Plan and did not result in any amendments to the Municipal Code. As part of the OKC Plan, this Plan contains goals, objectives, policies and actions established to provide guidance for redevelopment and future development of the Corridor. The earlier studies were used as resources, and previously identified issues are addressed in this plan.

The desires and concerns expressed by citizen groups throughout the various meetings were documented in these previous studies. The purpose of this Corridor Plan is to provide a consolidated document to identify and address land use and other issues in this area. These issues include those identified by citizen groups in previous planning studies and by Planning Staff in the analysis of existing conditions in the Corridor and were grouped into the following categories.

• Housing and Structures
• Land Use and Development
• Transportation
• Other Infrastructure & Public Services.

The implementation of the goals, objectives, policies and actions contained in this Corridor Plan will need to be a collaborative effort between both public and private interests. An important implementation tool recommended in this Plan is the establishment of a Zoning Overlay in the Municipal Code to improve the appearance and assist in quality redevelopment of the Corridor. The intent is that this Corridor Plan will serve as a guide for both public and private interests regarding the needs and opportunities in the area.
