Center City zoning in Springfield, MO, is governed by the city's Center City Plan and updated community codes, which focus on creating distinct, mixed-use urban districts like Downtown, Commercial Street, and Walnut Street. The zoning aims to balance residential and commercial development, promote quality of place, and adapt to modern trends like "missing middle" housing (duplexes, townhomes) and reduced parking requirements. The updated Community Land Development Code and specific district plans, such as the College Street Corridor Plan, provide detailed regulations for uses, building types, and urban design within these areas.
