City to present Draft of New Land Use Plan
October 26, 2011
On Saturday at ECC City Campus (9am - 3pm) the City of Buffalo is revealing the draft of its new land use plan. Public input is being sought. There is a good framework for enhancement of neighborhoods through historic preservation and infill. But there is always room for improvement!
This plan hopes to advance a policy of walkable, dense, mixed-use neighborhoods, contrary to the suburban-style, 1953 zoning code the city is operating under. It is hoped that this land use code will influence the effort to rewrite the superannuated zoning code. The new plan will make it easier to maintain and enhance Buffalo's traditional urban fabric when new development occurs
If you miss Saturday's event, you can download the draft plan and send in comments until the end of November.
