Page 30 - Broken Arrow, OK Residential District Design Guidelines

Wall Length:
This design standard is intended to prevent overly long buildings that prevent visual
permeability into a site from the street and do not express a human scale consistent with other
buildings in Downtown Broken Arrow. This design standard also seeks to break up continuous
walls on longer blocks.
Wall Length applies to: Flats, Mixed-Use A, Mixed-Use B/Commercial

Building Height:
This design standard intends to establish overall heights of new structures that respond to
surrounding lower scale areas while allowing for taller buildings that contribute to the active,
urban environment envisioned for Downtown. This design standard also promotes scale that is
compatible with Broken Arrow and ensures access to light and air.
Building Height applies to: Single-Family, Two-Family, 3-Plex/4-Plex/Mansion Apartment,
Cottage Court, Rowhouse, Flats, Mixed-Use A, Mixed-Use B/Commercial

Finished Floor Height:
The finished floor design standard seeks to establish a separation between the public realm and
private buildings by setting the first floor up off the ground, and to match the traditional form of
raised porches. Figure 4.13 below shows the Finished Floor Height of a single-family residential
building in blue.
Finished Ground Floor Level applies to: Single-Family, Two-Family, Cottage Court, Rowhouse,
Flats, Mixed-Use A, Mixed-Use B/Commercial
