Code Update Phase 1: Diagnosis

Phase 1 (complete)

Code Diagnosis

During Phase 1, the consultant team (Opticos Design, Inc.; Lisa Wise Consulting; and Peter J Park, LLC) held stakeholder interviews with users of Oklahoma City’s existing codes, including engineers, developers, homebuilders, architects, and staff, and completed a diagnosis of Oklahoma City’s development codes to identify issues and concerns. They also examined best practices and recommended a strategy for updating development-related codes to meet the City’s goals.
