Tulsa Revised Ordinances tit. 11, § 1700
in effectSection 1700. - Title; overview and purpose.
A. Title. This chapter may be cited as the "Parklet Permit Program."
B. Overview and purpose. The purpose and intent of this chapter is to protect public safety, to maintain safe and ready availability of City rights-of-way to the general public, and to permit local establishments to provide additional seating for their customers and others by way of the construction of platforms in one or more on-street parking spaces, where appropriate, which extend to the sidewalk (a "Parklet") to provide additional space for tables, seats and other public amenities. The utilization of parklets will offer residents and visitors to Tulsa the opportunity to stop, sit and enjoy the surrounding neighborhood street life, thereby contributing to a vibrant, active and walkable City as well as to encourage economic development. The Parklet Permit Program (the "Parklet Program") is hereby implemented to allow the use of parklets, both public and private, while setting policies and requirements, providing safeguards, and a procedure for the issuance of parklet permits by staff.
