About Central Springfield Historic
District
Central Springfield Historic District, located between Downtown Springfield and Washington Park, is a historic and residential Springfield neighborhood with tree-lined streets and landmark architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Old State Capitol Plaza and the surrounding blocks of 6th Street, where independent cafes, galleries, and lunch counters set a steady daytime rhythm. Community pillars include the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, the Illinois State Museum, and the Hoogland Center for the Arts. Brick sidewalks and ornate porches frame Italianate, Queen Anne, and early Prairie-influenced homes. Pocket parks and the Capitol complex shape walkable routes for errands and evening strolls. The atmosphere reads civic, cultured, and quietly active.

S-3
Central Shopping District
This district is designed to provide for a wide range of retail stores, office buildings, and amusement and service activities which occupy prime retail frontage in a centrally located and intensively developed business area. The district includes areas of concentrated business activities where nearly all the frontage has long been taken up by contiguous buildings, thus requiring different bulk regulations than those applicable to newer or less concentrated areas and making it virtually impossible for separate off-street parking facilities to be provided for each individual establishment.
Permitted uses

Automotive sales
