I. SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The project involves transforming approximately 0.6638 acres (zoned R-HD) into a multi-family
residential development featuring duplex-style housing on a single combined lot. The project includes the
construction of 14 dwelling units, with seven two-bedroom units and seven four-bedroom units, offering
diverse housing options to accommodate different household sizes. To accommodate the redevelopment
project, twenty-nine (29) parking stalls, along with fourteen (14) bike parking spots. In addition to the
residential component, the project includes making public improvements to the alleyway running east and
west, just south of the redevelopment site.
II. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PROJECT TO REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
This project is being constructed in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan for the Hampton-
Florence Redevelopment Area, which was approved by the Springfield City Council on 5/19/2025 by
Special Ordinance 10825. This project is in the Hampton-Florence redevelopment area and will be
constructed to be compatible with and as part of a multi-phase development. The gross square footage of
each building is 2,735 sq ft with an individual building footprint of 1,095 sq ft. The approximate square
footage of each unit type is as follows: two-bedroom 1,095 sq ft, four-bedroom, 1,635 sq ft. The overall
development will be on approximately 0.6638 acres.
A. DESIGN GUIDELINES:
This project will utilize high-quality materials and thoughtful design to enhance both aesthetics and
functionality, to encourage pedestrian activity, creating a more walkable and inviting environment for
residents and visitors alike. By incorporating well-designed pathways, streetscapes, and building facades,
the redevelopment will contribute to a cohesive and visually appealing neighborhood that aligns with the
surrounding community’s character.
Additionally, all publicly visible sides of buildings—whether viewed from adjacent properties or
roadways—shall maintain a consistent level of architectural quality and finish. This ensures that every
aspect of the development presents a well-maintained and polished appearance, reinforcing a sense of
pride and investment in the area.
In addition to complying to the preceding guidelines, the project is subject to all applicable Springfield,
Missouri Codes and Ordinances.
B. TIMELINE:
The developer estimates that each state of the Project will be completed according to the following
