Special Corridor Plans

Area and Corridor Plans are land use plans that supplement information contained in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Area and Corridor Plans are adopted into the City’s Comprehensive Plan by the Planning Commission and City Council. While the Comprehensive Plan takes a global view of future land use patterns in Olathe, Area and Corridor Plans take a much more detailed look into future growth patterns of a specific area in and around Olathe.

The below listing is not an exhaustive catalog of all the Area and Corridor Plans within the City of Olathe. Development Services has produced a map showing all the Area and Corridor Plans within the City.
