AI Summary

  • Amends sections 863.9 and 863.10 of Oklahoma Statutes to authorize the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission's staff to approve or deny plats, lot-splits, and other matters through regulations, rather than requiring full Commission approval.

  • Requires plat approval or denial decisions to occur within 30 days of submission; plats are deemed approved if the Commission fails to act within this timeframe, with a certificate of submission serving as proof.

  • Allows staff to exercise delegated approval authority only for ministerial actions explicitly identified in Commission regulations, reserving more complex decisions for full Commission review.

  • Requires two-thirds favorable vote of the entire Commission membership for plat approval when a city or town within three miles protests a subdivision plat.

  • Applies the same regulations to lot-splits (transfers or sales of five acres or less) as to subdivisions to accomplish planning purposes.
