Area Plan

The 2016 Greater Sullivan Neighborhood Design Guidelines, created by Clemson University’s Department of Planning and Landscape Architecture, propose strategies to preserve the character of Greenville’s historic Greater Sullivan neighborhood while accommodating growth. Key recommendations focus on maintaining architectural integrity, such as encouraging porch additions, using compatible building materials, and ensuring new housing respects the neighborhood’s scale. Guidelines address sustainable practices, promoting permeable driveways, native landscaping, and energy-efficient materials. Streetscape improvements include expanding ADA-accessible sidewalks, installing street trees, and implementing traffic-calming measures like curb extensions and speed tables to enhance pedestrian safety. Public input shaped these guidelines, aligning neighborhood identity with sustainability and walkability.
