I don't know much about these kinds of documents, so I'm tossing this into the forum for those with more experience. Owasso is developing a corridor overlay along both sides of US169 from 86th Street to 116th, and it includes language like this:

Seriously, though, this overlay covers parking, architecture and much, much more. Is that typical? Could someone give this a cursory read?
