Future Land Use Scenario The Future Land Use Map for Greensburg is the map to generally guide future development. It is important to note that while this map appears more homogeneous than prior iterations, the intention is to communicate the general character of an area. Compatible uses are highly encouraged regardless of indication by the map. N. CHERRY ST MICHIGAN AVE. PENNSYLVANIA AVE. RAILROAD OHIO AVE. ILLINOIS AVE. 54 HIGHWAY FLORIDA AVE.

Zoning Types Downtown Core As described in the Downtown portion of the Plan, the central business core represents an opportunity for Greensburg to demonstrate its commitment to a new type of commerce and to recommit to a highly pedestrian oriented community center. The Downtown Core will be home to local businesses, tourism attractions, City and County offices, higher density housing, restaurants, and a host of other community amenities. It may be helpful to think of Downtown as the part of Greensburg that will be active for the largest part of the day. From sun up until late evening there should be people enjoying some part of Downtown Greensburg. Main Street should also be thought of as a community gathering space. It is a destination where the city, county, or region can come together and celebrate shop and see the ongoing transformation of Greensburg. Housing above Main Street businesses and small, dense housing projects should be encouraged in downtown. Housing in immediate proximity to downtown businesses will help provide a ready customer base and keep the downtown area active. While large housing projects that take up prime commercial frontage are not encouraged, medium density residential directly behind Main Street businesses or along side streets would be ideal. This view from a residential balcony in downtown Greensburg enjoys a view of vibrant street life. 144 Greensburg Sustainable Comprehensive Plan CITY OF GREENSBURG, KANSAS + BNIM
