Overview
OKI has no authority over local land uses. That said, OKI’s Board created a land use commission to study the complex link between transportation and how we use land for homes, businesses, parks, and factories. The main goal of the OKI Land Use Commission is to create more consistency between local land use planning and regional transportation planning, so that taxpayer dollars can be used to maximum benefit.
A steering committee of the Land Use Commission has been meeting since the 2005 adoption of the Strategic Regional Policy Plan (SRPP). Its focus is to advance initiatives that support implementing and maintaining the SRPP.
