1. Program Strategy – Work with various City departments (e.g. Planning Office, Development Services, Fire Marshal’s Office, City Council, etc.) to build knowledge of the Program, build rapport, develop buy-in, and create a strategy to fully and successfully implement the Program. 2. Code and Process Analysis and Design – Analyze adopted codes, regulations, and processes, and outline the key provisions that will affect the Program’s outcomes, along with recommendations for any amendments. Collaborate with the City departments and officials to determine how projects using the Program’s building plans will move through the City’s systems and processes. 3. Program Development – Plan the Program’s operations, including implementation, administration, and evaluation, including the licensing/ownership model of the building plans. 4. Resident Engagement – Engage Tulsa residents to build local interest in the program and ensure that residents help inform the designs of the housing types. 5. Developer and Lender Engagement – Engage developers and lenders to: inform them about the Program, building types, and financing options; establish a local user base; ensure the selected plans are buildable and financeable; and ensure that builders are ready to use the permit sets as soon as the Program is launched. 6. Building Type and Plan Selection – Consider existing lot patterns, architectural styles, pro-forma analyses, and other elements to inform the selection and design of building types that will complement established neighborhoods. 7. Development of Permit Sets – Create building plans for internal review by City departments, and facilitate their review and revisions, leading to final permit sets and construction drawings for each building type. 8. Small Developer Training – Organize training sessions to instruct residents on developing real estate projects, to develop a skilled cadre of local, small-scale developers. 9. Scale Models – Produce 3D scale models of designs chosen for inclusion in the Program, for use in education, outreach, and communications. 10. Case Studies – Illustrate specific examples of how the Program could be used to expedite housing production on actual lots within Tulsa, potentially including sites owned by the City of Tulsa.
