Procedure for zoning appeals
Has anyone had a court render an opinion on what rules of procedure should apply for cases seeking judicial review in district court of a zoning decision under 11 O.S. § 43-109.1 (zoning cases)? Oklahoma Pleading Code? Other appellate rules/Administrative Procedures act? The statute does not provide for the time or means for serving the lawsuit on the parties. I can make an argument both ways, but the time for service is very unclear.

12 O.S. Sec. 951 providing for 30 days is what I've used for various other challenges in the district court.
