Broken Arrow Comprehensive Plan

The City of Broken Arrow hired Halff’s team of planners to update its comprehensive plan to serve as a blueprint for smart, sustainable growth.

Extensive public engagement and scenario planning guided the vision of the Broken Arrow Next Comprehensive Plan. The planning team developed alternative development scenarios during a weeklong design charrette to identify ways the community could grow, which informed the eventual future land-use plan. Two advisory committees comprising city council members, planning commission members and department heads were established, and these committees met throughout the planning process to provide guidance. The team also held four public workshops to receive the community’s feedback. Finally, an interactive project website was created to seek input and share key plan milestones.

The plan also addressed topical items such as strategies for healthy communities, resiliency, sustainability and Complete Streets concepts. Each chapter of the plan discusses how these topics are tied to placemaking.
