Pete Hollis Gateway Plan - City of Greenville

Pete Hollis Gateway Plan
Goals and Objectives
Land Use and Zoning
• The goals of land use and zoning are to promote appropriate investment
and redevelopment that is sensitive to adjacent residential uses and
encourages economic development opportunities for surrounding
communities. They also include provisions that improve quality of life for
all who live, work in, or visit and to provide a sense of place unique to the
area by promoting the use of high-quality design elements and mixed-use
development.
Economic Development
• To promote economic development activity in the City with an emphasis
on obtaining a healthy balance of strategic growth and improved quality of
life. This is accomplished by facilitating private commercial and residential
development, administering loan programs, responding to informational
requests, pursuing annexation opportunities, developing and implementing
plans and strategies for revitalization, recruiting and retaining businesses.
• To develop public private partnerships which increase redevelopment
potential and increase the quality of development by improving city
services and amenities within the district.
Design
• To develop a vision for the Pete Hollis Gateway and implement strategies
to work toward the vision.
• To establish a set of principles, which should be broadly applied to any
new development occurring within the study area, including both private
and public investments.
• To help improve the visual character and safety of the area.
• To create a streetscape cross-section in which the pedestrian scale is a
defined and a unified set of elements, including buildings at right-of-ways,
improved landscaping, roadway medians, sidewalks, buffers, crosswalks,
lighting, buildings, parking areas, underground utilities and signage. See
