Homeowners for Fair Zoning v. City of Tulsa

Opinion by

RONALD J. STUBBLEFIELD, Acting Presiding Judge.

¶ 1 This is an appeal by Plaintiffs from the Trial Court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Defendants in a case involving a municipal zoning change. The dispositive issue is whether an ordinance requiring approval of protested zoning changes by three-fourths of the City Council is superseded by Tulsa’s amended Charter, which recognizes zoning authority and provides for adoption of new ordinances by simple majority. We conclude that the Charter supersedes the ordinance and affirm the Trial Court’s grant of summary judgment.
