EAP customers are contacted telephonically to ensure satisfaction with services and should concerns or points of dissatisfaction present itself, Palladian Health has a robust Quality Assurance program that would be initiated to address any issues. Specifically, satisfaction is tracked from both an employer and employee perspective. On an annual basis, a satisfaction survey is emailed to all employers(HR and Executive level employees), in addition to annual face to face meetings,to ensure overall satisfaction with EAP services. This survey has been in place for several years now and we consistently experience very positive results with 100%of those survey respondents indicating that Palladian either meets or exceeds service expectations. In addition, at the end of each episode of care, any employee that has supplied an email address to the EAP is sent a satisfaction survey. Due to the sensitive nature of EAP services and limits of confidentiality, no identifying information is requested on these surveys, including employer name. However, in 2015 results of the survey respondents indicated 100%satisfaction (meets or exceeds)with EAP services. No employee from any organization, including The City of Buffalo expressed dissatisfaction which would have triggered a QA inquiry and follow-up. Palladian EAP will continue this practice to ensure that we offer the highest level of services and allow employees from all our clients to maximize productivity and health. Historically we have developed marketing materials that reflect a diverse cross section of employees and encourage employees through positive messaging to utilize the EAP for any reason that may be impacting their contribution and commitment to the work environment. This message is spread through posters, educational sessions and any informational vehicles that our clients feel would reach the largest employee base. I have attached a copy of some of these marketing materials, (two different posters, our brochure and a copy of a quarterly newsletter). I think you will agree after reviewing these materials that they incorporate positive messaging and ease of access I hope this answers your questions. Please let me know if there is anything else you require at this time.

Proposals would streamline the processes of the various divisions of The Common Council while promoting efficiency and increased government transparency according to the directives of the Council President. In October 2015, an ad hoc committee of commissioners and staff from the City Clerk, Council Staff, and MIS offices reviewed submissions and found Accela,Inc. (Accela)to have submitted a proposal most valuable to The City in accordance with the project parameters set in the RFP. Your Honorable Body authorized the City Clerk to enter an agreement with Accela to provide a Legislative Management System Service at an amount estimated not to exceed$2040.00 per month. In negotiations with Accela and from discussing optional modules presented in their RFP proposal,The City elected to add the additional service of"Digital Boardroom,"which brought the initial estimated $2040.00 per month to $2997.60 per month.This communication seeks to clarify that the starting price charged for monthly services with Accela will be exactly $2,997.60. Pursuant to section 3 of the Agreement with Accela, this starting price may be changed in instances where The City has exercised its election to have Accela provide additional features to the software as described in the RFP and Accela's proposal.

Beahan MD 5 Darwin Drive Snyder NY 14226 larry_beahan@roadrunner.com Dinash Lal, Common Council Chief of Staff Common Council Central Office 1413 City Hall,Buffalo,NY 14202 dlal@city-buffalo.com March 20, 2016 Regarding: City of Buffalo Green Code Draft Environmental Impact Statement Honorable Members of the Buffalo Common Council, The roughly 2000 members of Sierra Club's Niagara group complement you on your foresight in carefully planning for the future of the City of Buffalo. We are particularly appreciative of the thought you have given to the city's ecological future in this time of global climate crises. We strrongly approve of this draft of the Code with one equally strong objection to a vital portion of it. The Outer Harbor application of the Green Code radically fails to meet the standard of excellence of the rest: The stretch of Buffalo's Outer Harbor on the west side of Highway 5 that extends from Terminal A and B to the Coast Guard Station presents a magnificent opportunity to mend a ravished natural waterfront and to provide unparalled waterfront access to our citzens. In the form of a natural green habitat of trees and grasses,providing cover for shore birds, raptors and small animals; equipped with natural trails and looped by a bike and walking trail, the Outer Harbor would join Gallagher Beach State Park and Tiftt Nature Preserve to provide visitors and residents a magnificent respite from the intensity of City experience,just a short ferry or bridge crossing away. If we use the Outer Harbor in this gentle way,this bit of the Niagara Greenway and Audubon Internationally Important Bird Area,this spawning place for Muskelunge and Sturgeon, this corner of the Great Lakes where 20%of the earth's fresh water flows by,will be afforded cleaner air, less polutted water and tranquilly for all of us. This dream of a Natural Park could be unwittingly scuttled if the"Green" Code is enacted in it's present form. The Open Space D-OG designation of the Outer Harbor would allow development %b including buildings, rock concert venues,parking lots and recreational facilities like the currently proposed land-destructive mountain bike trail. Such development would permanently impair the natural character of the Park that is the ideal use of this link in our waterfront. The Outer Harbor's access to the public waters of Lake Erie is so valuable to us as a people that it should never be allowed to fall into private ownership. The designation of the New York Power Authority Connector Terminal property as Residential, N-3R makes it vulnerable to permanent private usage and conceivably private acquisition. Therefore Siera Club Niagara Group specifically reccommends: 1. The Openspace,Green,D-OG designation for the Outer Harbor be changed to Openspace,Natural,D-OR 2. The Residential N-3R designation of the New York Power Authority Connecting Terminal Property be changed to Open Space,Green,D-OG Sincerely / 1 1 ' e aurence T. Beahan MD Sierra Club Niagara Group Conservation Chair RECEWED AND FLED 1 Lal,Dinash From: Kenneth Rogers <plankar@aol.com> Sent: Saturday, March 26, 2016 7:44 AM To: Lal,Dinash Subject: Comments on the Green Code and Elmwood Village Green Code impact Mr. Lal: Please consider small amendments to the otherwise magnificent work that has been completed with the Buffalo Green code. My congratulations to you and all who have worked so hard on this project over many years. I am the chair of the Elmwood Historic District (west) initiative that worked to gain National Register of Historic Places designation for about half of what is now the full Elmwood Historic District. Our neighborhood was designated because there is meaning and context for why people choose to live here. Our properly values have grown significantly in the three years since we received our designation. The Green Code must respect our historic places because it is those very places that attract people. If we begin to replace the historic nature of the neighborhood with large commercial projects then everyone (except individual developers) will lose. To that end I have reviewed the March 3, 2016 Working Group Report (sponsored by Councilman Feroleto) on the Green Code and its potential impact on the Elmwood Village and I fully support it and urge the Common Council to implement its provisions. Thank you for your consideration on behalf of the Common Council. -Ken Rogers Kenneth A Rogers www.kennetharogers.com 716-881-0753 1 Lal,Dinash { From: MICHAEL TRITTO <micgin2@verizon.net> Sent: Sunday, March 27, 2016 5:10 PM To: Lal,Dinash Cc: Councilmember Wingo - Masten; Councilmember Scanlon - South; Councilmember Feroleto - Delaware; Councilmember Golombek - North; Councilmember Fontana - Lovejoy; MayorBrownWebMail; Councilmember Pridgen - Ellicott; Councilmember Wyatt - University; Councilmember Franczyk - Fillmore;Councilmember Rivera - Niagara Subject: Support for Revision of the Draft Green Code using recommendations of Elmwood Village Green Code Working Group Dear Dinash Lal, Mr. Mayor, and Members of the Common Council: I am a co-owner of 62 Inwood Place in the Delaware District of Buffalo. I am very concerned with some of the provisions of the Draft Green Code for zoning development in the City of Buffalo. I enthusiastically support all of the recommendations of the Elmwood Village Green Code Working Group, which is available on-line at http://www.ev-gcworkinggroup.org/ . I believe that the residents of neighborhoods should have some recourse in significant changes in their neighborhoods, as the current zoning code allows. The members of our neighborhood on Inwood Place and Potomac Avenue had to organize and strongly advocate in 2015-16 to prevent the development of a 26-unit condo development on a 26,000 square foot property straddling two streets at mid-block. Both of our streets are predominantly 1 and 2-family houses on narrow side streets. A dramatic increase in density would have dramatically changed our neighborhood for the worse in terms of noise, traffic, parking, and encroachment of privacy for neighboring houses. We, the residents, were able to persuade the Zoning Board of Appeals to deny the variance that was requested for the large condo development. The current zoning code allowed residents a voice and set a limit for large commercial developments on residential streets, requiring a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Draft Green Code allows for "Stacked Units" (apartment buildings)to be built extremely close to neighboring property lines and with no requirement of additional off-street parking, with no reasonable density limits, and with no clear process for residents to preserve the existing character of their neighborhoods. A 3-story "Stacked Unit" would be allowed "by right". The key issues I oppose in the Draft Green Code are: 1. No off-street parking considerations for new development. 2. Commercial apartment buildings 3-stories high on properties 2 lots wide on side streets, "by right" to developer. 3. No community participation through Common Council Review. 4. Maximum 10,000 square foot commercial spaces in areas like Elmwood Avenue that currently have a 2,500 square foot limit. 5. 5-story commercial buildings on commercial streets like Elmwood Avenue that currently have a limit of 3. 1 I particularly support the following affirmative recommendations by the Elmwood Village Green Code Working Group: 1. I support the Working Group amendment for 3 story buildings, not 5 story buildings in the Elmwood commercial district(2 C and 2 E). 2. I support the Working Group amendment for a maximum area in commercial district of 2,500 square foot ground floor, not 10,000 sq ft as proposed in the Draft Green Code. 3. I support the creation of an Overlay Historic District for the Elmwood Village to protect and support its neighborhood character. 4. I support reducing the size and impact of large commercial buildings on the neighbors first houses on side streets. 5. I support requiring Special Use permits for new Stacked units(apartment buildings) and attached row residential houses in Neighborhoods. Finally, I ask the Common Council to include in the Green Code a process of public participation,that enables residents to voice the { current needs and concerns of a neighborhood BEFORE a dramatic change is allowed in a new development project. Thank you for considering these recommendations in the revision of the Draft Green Code. If you need to reach me, my cell phone is 435-9733.

I am a member of the Village of Kenmore planning board (speaking for myself), an employee of Downtown Buffalo,frequent shopper of North Buffalo,and frequent bicycle rider along North Buffalo streets. I understand the areas along Delaware and Elmwood in North Buffalo are called out to be "Strip Retail" areas,which is intended as a "sprawl repair" zone, and in the short term and incrementally, as outparcels are developed, I think this is a good solution to improve auto oriented development. However, I would like the City to consider a longer term approach whereby if an entire site located within the "Strip Retail" zone is proposed for redevelopment,that it be done so in a more urban manner that improves the walkability of the neighborhood.This is most prevalent along Delaware Avenue and Elmwood Avenue in North Buffalo where efforts in Kenmore to create a strong village character along Delaware are deteriorated by the auto oriented development in North Buffalo.This strip retail development discourages walkability and creates an unfavorable environment for bicyclists and walkers looking to get from Kenmore to the more walkable portion of Buffalo, south of Delaware Park. Overall, I applaud the City on their efforts to develop the Green Code.Thank you for your extensive outreach and allowing me to submit comments.

While I have many concerns the primary one is parking. I live on Ashland avenue near Summer and have a rental property on the same street. Parking has gotten more challenging for myself and my tenants in recent years due to the apartment building on the corner. That building lacks adequate parking for their tenants and consequently the whole block lacks sufficient parking, therefore I think it is imperative that the Green code address parking. Each developer must include in their plans sufficient parking or they should not be allowed to build.While I walk and bike and am pleased with the progress on bike paths,there are days when due to injury or extreme weather conditions that parking becomes critical.A code that fails to address parking is a failed code. I also question the impact it will have on seniors and the disabled who may not be able to find sufficient parking. Additional concerns include the size of buildings on both Elmwood and the side streets.The neighborhoods are not built to accommodate five story buildings on Elmwood and 3 story apartment buildings on side streets. I attended a Green Code meeting where someone proposed that the exit for Elmwood Avenue commercial development be Ashland Avenue. Clearly this is a concern as Ashland is and should remain a residential street and excessive vehicle traffic may cause lower property values and creates a hazardous condition. Finally I am concerned about the proposed size of commercial spaces on Elmwood.Large commercial spaces will change the character of the neighborhood. Elmwood is not Amherst or Cheektowaga nor does it desire to become so.Please limit the size of commercial space. Thank you for your time.

On Todd G.Vaarwerk behalf of HOME, I submit this letter as a public comment to the recently Bradford R. Scott W.Gehlatts accepted Draft Environmental Impact Statement on Buffalo's Green Code. Executive Director Friends of HOME Beginning in the Fall of 2000, HOME worked with more than two dozen Joan K.Bozer service providers concerned about the discriminatory impact of the Human Dr.John M.Bozer Services Facility Permit Ordinance on persons with disabilities, low- Hon.Byron W.Brown Michael K.Clarke income populations, and people of color. Although the City of Buffalo's Regent Dr.Catherine Collins own 2004 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing had declared the Arthur 0.Eve Hon.Joel P.Feroleto ordinance a discriminatory barrier, it was reauthorized in 2006 and Rhonda Frederick subsequently allowed to sunset. Dr.Carl Granger Hon.Betty Jean Grant Hon.Mark J.Grisanti Nevertheless, the first draft of the proposed Green Code had again Dr.James L.Hecht George M.Hezel,Esq. resurrected the idea of requiring a restricted use permit for the operation Hon.Brian Higgins of a Human Service Facility anywhere in Buffalo. Several agencies raised Hon.Kathleen C.Hochul Sam Hoytconcerns and representatives of two agencies met with staff of the Office Christopher Hull of Strategic Planning. John J.Hurley,Esq. • Arthur H.Hyde Norman E.Joslin HOME commends the Office of Strategic Planning in that the Green Hon.John J.LaFalce Michael J.LoCurto Code s current draft (October 2015) does represent significant Most Rev.Richard J.Malone improvements over earlier versions in that: Lynn M.Marinelli ° The definition of Human Service Facilities has been narrowed Anthony M.Masiello Brenda McDuffie considerably; Eugene Meeks ° Human Service Facilities will be a permitted use in some zones; and Janet B.Meiselman Frank B.Mesiah ° Food Centers/Supply Pantries (now a separate category) are allowed Jesse E.Nash,Jr. as an accessory use to a place of worship or emergency shelter Hon.Crystal Peoples-Stokes Jack Quinn regardless of zone. Hon.Gregory P.Rabb Bonnie E.Russell Hon.Sean RyanHowever, HOME must express concern about other issues in the Nicholas A.Sinatra proposed Green Code. Hon.Louise M.Slaughter Demone A.Smith Ruth Kahn Stovroff Antoine M.Thompson Dennis C.Walczyk Denis J.Woods Amy M.Zeckhauser (1) There remain significant inequities in where facilities are permitted. Principal Uses (Table 6A) Permitted Restricted Total Uses Uses Zones Food Center/Supply Pantry (6.1.5.J) 8 4 12 (including soup kitchens) Restaurants (6.1.5.S) 12 3 15 Retail & Service, General (6.1.5.T) 12 3 15 Human Service Facility (6.1.5.N) 8 4 12. (including mental health counseling & rehabilitation) Professional Offices (6.1.6.E) 12 2 14 (including private psychologists & psychiatrists) We submit that the differences are not in the nature of services provided (soup kitchens-restaurants, food pantries-food markets, mental health services-private psychologists & psychiatrists) but only in the populations to be served. It is also interesting that Animal Care Establishments (6.1.5.E) are permitted in more zones than are either Soup Kitchens/Food Pantries or Human Service Facilities. (2) Although language now proposed is less burdensome, Human Service Facilities still require a special use permit application which, in addition to other criteria (e.g. hours of operation, services, numbers to be served) require documentation of community need, a showing that services to be provided will not duplicate others, and that the facility will not have a negative impact on the community. al While it is entirely reasonable for a funding source to require a demonstration of need (which may include a showing on non- duplication), it is less reasonable for the City to require such a showing with regard to zoning. A It remains a logical impossibility to prove the negative—that a proposed facility will not have a negative impact. While we do not question the good intentions of the drafters of the Green Code, we are concerned that such a provision could provide a dangerous tool in the hands of a community aroused by NIMBYism.

Rivera, Council Member Rasheed N.C. Wyatt, Council Member Ulysses 0. Wingo, Sr., and Mayor Byron Brown Dear Gentlemen, My name is Lesley Martin. I am one of the co-owners of 799 Potomac Ave and have lived in my home since June 2008. During the eight years my husband and I have lived on this block, we have become friendly with many of our neighbors, and have become quite close with some of them, counting them among our best friends. We regularly wave and say hello to each other on the street, chat on our porches, stop along the block to say hello, and have backyard conversations over our gardens. We shovel each other's sidewalks and front steps, borrow each other's tools, and organize backyard barbeques and potlucks. In essence, my husband and I consider ourselves part of a friendly and sustainable community. This sense of support has helped us make our house into a home, and allowed us to put roots down in a community, knowing that we belong to something greater than ourselves. We were very pleased when our neighborhood was given the Elmwood Village East Historic District status last December, feeling that this distinction adds to the character of our neighborhood. I am writing today because I have serious concerns about the proposed Draft Green Code, and the impact it may have on my neighborhood if it is approved in its current form. I believe the code as it is currently written poses a substantial threat to the integrity of not only my neighborhood, but also the larger Elmwood Village community. As I understand the proposed Draft Green Code, there could potentially be large 5-story commercial buildings built along Elmwood Ave, as well as 3-story large apartment/condo buildings built on residential streets, perhaps in the middle of the block. I am not opposed to development per se; however, it is my opinion that such development on such a scale as 1 G� is proposed by the current Draft Green Code is not only inappropriate, but also threatens the social fabric, integrity and character of our Elmwood Village community. I would be more inclined to support the proposed Draft Green Code and development in this area, if the following specific changes and/or amendments were made to the code as is proposed by the Elmwood Village Working Group (http://www.ev-gcworkinggroup.org/): 1. The creation of an Overlay District for the Elmwood Village to protect and support its neighborhood quality and character; 2. The Working Group amendment for 3-story buildings, not 5-story buildings in the Elmwood Village business district; 3. The Working Group amendment for a maximum area in the commercial district of 2,500 sq ft, rather than the 10,000 sq ft proposed in the Draft Green Code; 4. Reduction in the sizeand impact of large commercial buildings on the neighbors' first houses on side streets, taking into consideration the balconies, side yards and parking; 5. Requiring Special Use permits for new Stacked units (apartment buildings) and attached row residential houses in these neighborhoods. For all of these reasons, I ask that the Common Council reject the Draft Green Code as it is currently written, and seriously consider the proposed changes that have been submitted by the Elmwood Village Community Working Group. I deeply appreciate your consideration. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at (716) 435-3546. Thank you. Sincerely, Lesley A.

I live at 465 Norwood Avenue. In the ten years since we bought this property,parking has already become more of an issue (in part because of the new complex of shops and housing between Breckinridge and Auburn on Elmwood). It would be a disaster for residents in the neighborhood if this new ordinance allowed larger commercial spaces and 5-story buildlings without off-street parking access.As I understand it, the Village is a historic district. Its old Victorian properties and 1-or 2- story business properties (many in converted old houses) give the area distinctive charm.This is part of what makes it a destination during parades or for winter holidays shopping, for people from suburbs and towns surrounding Buffalo. Considerable new building of a type distinctly different from what is now present(and now allowed)would threaten or destroy that charm. I do not object to 2-sides of the street parking on several streets during more days of the week but the other aspects of the so- called"Green Code" seem to me far from "green." I hope this code will not pass. I will be out of town on Saturday April 2 so cannot attend the meeting at Performing Arts.

We'd like to see the following: • Keep the historical fabric of Elmwood Avenue with the100 year old homes to be restored,not demolished. These historical homes were built to last and people continue to buy them to restore.This wrecking-ball/demolition mentality Is riclieulout.It will make Elmwood like any other street in the US and take away its unique character. • Limit to 3 stories arid under. • Limit square footage to 2,500(NOT 10,004 Corporations are the ohly potential businesses who can afford 10,000 square feet.We do not need an AT&T on Elmwood. • Consider your target population-Exactly who are you building massive skyscrapers for?Buffalo's population is growing but they are refugees who are not going live on Elmwood. By implementing your current proposal,you are taking away the rights of the residents to protect their homes and neighborhoods. The zoning codes should be hard for the developers to change things because they don't always have what is in the best interest of the community.They areonly concerned with their own profit, ff they develop something and it fails,they will use that development as a tax write-off,and then go on to the next project,leaving the community:with an empty eyesore ultimately deitroying something that cannot be replaced. Please don't take away the rights of the residents to decide what their neighborhood and community should be like. Being a.neighborhood home owner for over 70 years,we feel this is a neighborhood under siege and the Green Code proposal is something we cannot allow which is the destruction of the Elmwood Village. Sincerely, Sandra Girage 412- CITY OF BUFFALO COMMON COUNCIL GREEN CODE PUBLIC HEARING April 2, 2016 Lynda Stephens - Buffalo resident Thank you for the opportunity to address you today. I urge the Council to extend the comment period beyond April 22, 2016. The Green Code has too many parts and too many aspects for citizens to review, study, and digest in such a short time period. The City's Planning Department and the dozen or more consulting businesses that have built the Green Code had over four years to construct it. I do not recall at any of the multiple meetings I attended being told that the primary purpose of the Green Code is to codify an economic development strategy that will enable developers to maximize their profits within the City with minimal future opportunities for residents to effectively object. In simple terms, the Green Code provides rules that "grease the skids". Considerable efforts were made by presenting consultants to divide meeting attendees into sub-groups and limit participation to quiet individual remarks rather than large group sharing of concerns and perspectives. Although I intend to submit more detailed comments later on the Draft GEIS, I will comment today on two "Impact Assessment and Mitigation" areas presented in the DGEIS Executive Summary. Socioeconomic Considerations: The DGEIS states "no adverse impacts were identified and no mitigation required" for both "population" (that's us) and "poverty" (that's some of us). How can that be when the Green Code allows developers to avoid areas of the City that are so desperately in need of economic development? We know that developers use available mechanisms to reduce their financial commitment, such as tax credits and municipal payments for services and infrastructure, at the expense of the entire Buffalo community including you, me and the residents of Masten Avenue. Parks and Open Space: The DGEIS states "no potential adverse impacts have been identified; therefore, mitigation is not required." With regard to the Outer Harbor, I state with certainty there are adverse impacts to open space. While we're here talking and listening, the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation is working to "activate" capital projects in open space in the Outer Harbor. These actions are allowable under the proposed Green Code. I hope the City can halt those activations by the state agency. Meanwhile, a local developer has proposed a Miami Beach style 23-story development at the Freezer Queen site. That site is situated in a 100-year flood plain. In addition, the site is eligible for listing on the National and State Registers of Historic Places. I recommend immediate action to nominate the Freezer Queen property for the State and National Registers. It also seems to me eminent domain acquisition of the Freezer Queen property would be beneficial for our community. That would allow a designation of"parkland"for contiguous land north of Gallagher Beach to the mouth of the Buffalo River. I appreciate your consideration of these comments. I look forward to an extended comment period to encourage thoughtful citizen participation in this process. -''',.'. 0 a asx r x '' e' n4 {k I 4 �L vY R t}� { f • i a It .i'. ; ' ^ `. 1'4Yl:s is j '',r,Gsa : t n 4 � �. 4 of ;! 4,, l �4 r 3 .i ! j 4 -= . -.-; Buffalo's Your Preservationists FCR NOWT PLAN FOR THE GREEN: ••CODE { j , ,,,i.: ,,,,yeto,..-...y.:4, ,,,'Jy, . l4 y 7 it', An open letter to the Common Council April 1,2016 To.the Buffalo Common Council, The Buffalo's Young Preservationists wish to submit the following comments to.the Buffalo Common Council in regard to adoption of the,Buffalo Green Code.

We also are small business owners with our sausage shop, Spar's European Sausage &Meats, located at 405 Amherst St, Buffalo. I am making notice of this information to you because we are very concerned about the talked about Green Code and how it will affect us both personally and in business. Recently, our neighborhood was faced with a possible monster of a new construction for condos on Potomac Avenue. The architect wanted to put 26 units on a a small plot of land. It was designed as a three story building with parking beneath. Only 5 extra parking spaces were alloted for guests. Besides being grossly out of place in this early 20th century neighborhood,the extra amount if vehicles parked on the street were great concern for most of us. The new Green Code seems to favor the larger commercial construction companies who build in the Elmwood Village and that is a sad worry for us. Why the city would want to ignore it's residents and also the favorable ambiance of our proud neighborhoods is confusing. Please do not allow the almighty"quick tax dollar" be the impetus to destroying what size many have worked so hard to accomplish in our neighborhoods. Progress isn't always the same in every city and Buffalo has certainly proved that is been on its own schedule for years. I beg that City Council consider the unique citizens of Buffalo who love their unique neighborhoods and please vote against a polarizing Green Code. Thank you for listening: Beth Kennedy 822 Potomac Avenue Buffalo,NY 14209 Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4(i L'I'E smartphone 1 ti\ Lal,Dinash From: Eric <ehammer@buffalo.edu> Sent: Friday,April 01,2016 6:59 PM To: Lal,Dinash Subject: Re: Green Code Public Comment Period Dear Mr.Dinash Lal, The Green Code is in the process of being finalized and will soon be presented to the Buffalo Common Council for final approval,promulgation,and adoption into practice. The Common Council has a choice.The choice has been informed by thousands of hours of work by planning professionals and critiques by national experts.The choice has been augmented by dozens of engagement meetings and input by hundreds of informed and active citizens. But in contrast to the long and complex process involved in producing the Code,the choice offered to the Council is quite simple. Does Buffalo deserve a zoning code that explains our past failures or a code that articulates our future? One simple way to evaluate whether a zoning code is working for a community is to look to the neighborhoods within the community that are succeeding. In Buffalo, these places would be corridors like Allen St.,Elmwood Ave.,and Hertel Ave. Look at your zoning code and ask yourself the following question:if these places disappeared tomorrow and had to be rebuilt, could it be done under the current zoning code without hundreds of variances?Under the current code,I'd wager not. The Green Code's focus on walkability, density,positive urban form,and placemaking comes at a crucial time in our city's reinvention process. Density is not a negative attribute of cities.Rather,in successful cities,it a defining trait. Density allows economies of scale in productivity and resource utilization to exist. Density fosters walkability and increases the efficiency of public transit.The Green Code also eliminates the minimum parking requirement for new structures,which is good move for the city. Minimum parking requirements make building densely difficult and more expensive for developers. In Buffalo's central business district, the latest parking studies show that the area is already oversupplied. Eliminating the minimum parking requirement won't ban parking facilities,it will merely allow the market to determine the demand for parking facilities. In areas that have eliminated these requirements,parking is often still built,but is not oversupplied. Simply put,we need to encourage walkability. The concerns I've seen articulated by other members of the public have centered on two issues: quality of life changes related to density and height concerns and a lack of neighborhood efficacy in planning decisions. I question both of these claims.The negative consequences of zoning against density are apparent in communities with widespread height restrictions,like San Francisco.When housing supply is not able to increase to match housing demand within a spatial area,prices rise rapidly. In this way,restricting density can be quite destructive, especially to vulnerable groups like renters and young people.Also, the Green Code lays out a reasonable public process for major alterations to the built environment in sections 11.2.3 and 11.3.7. If we have been able to accomplish so much with a nearly incomprehensible and outdated zoning code,imagine what we would be able to accomplish with a progressive code that fosters placemaking and ensures Buffalo's continued progress into the future. I am in favor of the Green Code and I welcome its adoption. Sincerely, Eric Hammer 1 0 _fiNEVil YORK ,r , creation, STATE OF PORTUNITY% and Historicr r n ANDREW M.

These comments are those of OPRHP and relate only to Historic/Cultural resources. They do not include potential environmental impacts to New York State Parkland that may be involved in or near your project. Such impacts must be considered as part of the environmental review of the project pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act (New York Environmental Conservation Law Article 8) and its implementing regulations (6 NYCRR Part 617). OPRHP has reviewed the Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement for the Buffalo Consolidated Development Framework AKA Buffalo Green Code. It is our opinion that the wording in section 2.5, Historic and Archeological Resources, should be modified. Compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and Section 14.09 of the New York State Historic Preservation Act of 1980 is the responsibility of the involved Federal or State agency. It is their responsibility to consult with our office on potential impacts to historic resources. Rather than attempt to explain the above Federal and State laws, the DGEIS should direct the project sponsor to work with the appropriate Federal or State agency for their project. If additional correspondence is required regarding this project we request it be provided via our Cultural Resource Information System (CRIS) at www.nysparks.com/shpo/online-tools/ Once on the CRIS site, you can log in as a guest and choose "submit" at the very top menu.

Pridgen: The League of Women Voters Buffalo/Niagara(LWVBN) is a vigorous supporter of effective citizen participation in all levels of government. We appreciate the diligent work_over the_past five years which produced the proposed Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) and related documents for the City of Buffalo, known as the "Green Code." This update to the city's zoning code has the potential for simplifying and improving the processes by which the built environment develops for many years to come. Therefore, we are concerned that every effort be made to ensure that the Green Code, in its many details, protects the city's built and environmental heritage for the many generations following us. We understand that the City Council has accepted the Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement(DGEIS) which governs the Green Code, and therefore is offering a formal public comment period in accordance with the State Environmental Quality Review Act. This comment period began February 22, 2016 and is set to expire on April 22, 2016. We ask that this comment period be extended, for at least four more months,to allow all of the public enough time to understand the documents and comment on them. The LWVBN recognizes that many public meetings were held during the development phase of the Green Code. However, the current process gives the public an official voice directed toward the actual language of the Green Code. Many more voices need to be heard and recorded so that the final document benefits all areas of the City. Such a process needs more time, and should not be rushed. Please direct the Council to consider this request,to extend the comment period for the Green Code for at least four more months, to August 22, 2016. Sincerely, Joan T. Parks and Judy Metzger, Co-Presidents League of Women Voters Buffalo Niagara ,,(1) PRESERVATION Buffalo 7\Z ,arara PARTNERSHIP 1 OR THE `Building on the past for our FU` U R PUBLIC Go JI Buffalo' s Proposed Unified Development Ordinance Preserving Community Character within a new Form-Based Code 3/1/2016 Buffalo New York is undertaking a comprehensive update to its zoning code, which will have broad implications to preserving community character. This document contains Preservation Buffalo Niagara's 1. Restrict Demolitions To protect our most vulnerable neighborhoods, PBN highly recommends expanding the restrictions found in section of 3.2.1G of the proposed Green Code to include all N2C, N2R, N2E, and N3E districts (these neighborhoods include the Elmwood Village, the Fruit Belt, the west side, and Black Rock). In addition, PBN would add an additional criterion to ensure that preservation would be considered at the front end of any project in these districts, rather than as an afterthought. This would allow the UDO to incorporate a preservation ethic into the new zoning code, rather than to punt that issue to other parts of the City Charter or to future efforts at creating local historic districts or landmark designations. While the strongest protection for historic buildings in the City of Buffalo remains Section 337 of the City Charter, which governs the creation and administration of local historic landmarks and districts, the creation of these protections is outside the purview of the Green Code.A zoning tool must be created and embedded within the UDO to ensure that the new form-based code doesn't result in demolition of existing building stock that may not be currently covered by local preservation ordinances. In addition to the prohibitions on demolitions already included in this section of the code, PBN would add section 3.2.1.G.1.c to read: the City of Buffalo Preservation Board has determined that the building(s)to be demolished would not be eligible for inclusion on the local, State, or National Register of Historic places. — Restricting demolitions will encourage new projects to retain existing structures as part of a development site and further the preservation and enhancement of the unique character of our local neighborhoods, explicit goals of the 2006 Comprehensive Plan. Strengthen Definitions In several sections of the code where administrative or legislative bodies are to issue findings of facts, they must consider the impact on existing community resources. For instance, the Special Use Permit criteria #6 (page 11-15), says that the "proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss,or damage of any feature determined to be of...historic importance." Likewise, when undertaking major site plan review, approval standards include (page 11-28)that the project will provide for the adequate protection of"heritage" resources. However, neither"historic" nor"heritage"are defined in the definitions section of the Code, leaving a wide range of possible interpretations. The same is true of the words "cultural" and "scenic". PBN strongly advocates cutting down on confusion by using the word"historic"consistently,and inserting the following definition: "A building or collection of buildings that is at least fifty years old and that can be documented to have either individual significance or significance as part of a grouping of structures, including but not limited to, buildings and districts that have been or are eligible to be designated as National, State, or Local historic buildings or districts". This will help to ensure that as development proposals come before the appropriate governing body, any buildings currently on the site will be evaluated carefully prior to any approvals. 1 n\ 3. f. A building entrance that is less than ten feet wide may encroach up to three and one-half feet upon any required yard. ADD: "In an N-2R or N-3R zone,a building entrance is only permitted in a side yard if set back at a minimum distance of four feet from the interior side property line. i. A porch or stoop may encroach up to eight feet upon any required yard, so long as it remains enclosed. ADD: "In an N-2R or N-3R zone, a porch or stoop is only permitted in a side yard if set back at a minimum distance of four feet from the interior side property line." 2.3.4.A Building Height, Feet. When building height is measured by number of feet, building height is measured as the vertical distance from average ground level to: 1. The peak of a flat roof. Change to: "1. The top of the parapet of a flat roof." Goal 2: Limit the size and nature of retail businesses to ensure that the streetscapes are diverse and active and to increase protection of historic buildings by reducing incentives for demolishing and replacing existing smaller-scaled buildings. { p`A 1. If located along a high frequency transit route, or within 1,320 feet of a Metro Rail Station, a maximum building height of four stories is permitted. Change footnote 1 to "forty-five feet to the top of the parapet, peak of a gambrel". 3.2.2.G.1 A grouping of attached houses may not exceed 3.2.2.G.3 The following exterior facade materials are prohibited on all sides of attached houses ADD: as indicated: a.

Change to: "15%of lot depth." 3.2.11.E Height ADD : Max. overall height in N-2R zones (incl. on bus routes) — 45 feet including max. 5ft. high parapet." Supplemental Standards: 2. Buildings on lots that abut Delaware Avenue, between North Street and Gates Circle; Gates Circle; North Street, between Main Street and Symphony Circle; and West Ferry Street, between Delaware Avenue, and Elmwood Avenue; may be up to six stories in height. Change to: "four stories". Add: "Stacked Unit Buildings which are adjacent to an N-2R zone must step back the fourth story at least one foot for every foot in height above the third story." TABLE 6A(pg. 6-4) Revise to eliminate Stacked Units and Attached Homes from N-2R, N-3R as of right. Goal 5—Reduce impact of large buildings on first houses on side streets. 3.2.1.C.6 Where any five-story or taller building is proposed on a site which abuts an interior side or rear lot line in an N-2R, N-3R, N-4-30,or N-4-50 zone,the upper stories of such building must either provide a setback(in addition to applicable minimum setback requirements of Section 3.2), or be stepped back,from the respective interior side or rear setback line by at least one foot for each additional foot of building height above the fourth story. Change to: "second story". 3.2.1.E. Neighborhood Shops. An existing commercial block or shopfront house building in the N-2R or N-3R zones will be considered conforming, irrespective of the provisions of this section. BUFFER YARDS 7.1. A. 7.1.6 Required Buffer Yards: 1.A buffer yard must be installed per Table 7A: Buffer Yards,where the below uses are introduced as part of any new development or as the result of a change of use. Refer to the applicable sections for more information. ADD: s. Between N-2C, N-2E, N-3C, N-3E and all N-2R and N-3R zones. A type C buffer yard, designed per section 7.1.6 is required along interior side and rear lot lines that abut any lot in an N-2R or N-3R, N-4-30, N-4-50, D-R, D-OS, D-OG,OR D-ON ZONE. Section 6.1 -Add Type D Buffer requirement between all Single-and Double- Dwelling Units and all other Principle Uses. Goal 7—Lower threshold to allow for Planning Board hearings It is important that as changes occur that will radically alter the existing traditional development patterns or forms, community members have ample input into how their neighborhood is evolving. Minor Subdivision 11.5.4 Classification A. Exempt Alteration of Lots.The Commissioner of Permit and Inspection Services will classify any division, consolidation, or other alteration of lot boundaries as exempt from Planning Board review and a public hearing where each of the following criteria is met: 2.The proposed division, consolidation, or alteration of lot boundaries involves less than onehalf acre of land in Neighborhood zones and less than two acres in total. Change to: "less than one fifth acre of land..." as one-half acre is the approximate equivalent of 5 house lots and too large a consolidation to occur without the neighbors' knowledge. 4. Signage The natural beauty of our waterfront areas should be preserved and enhanced and therefore PBN supports prohibiting off-premise signs from the C-W zone. However,as currently drafted §5.3.3.D.c.only protects non-industrial lands signs in the C-W Corridor, while D-IL and D-IH zoned parcels can include these signs by-right (§ 9.3.2.A.). Since the majority of the Buffalo River, City Ship Canal, mouth of Scajaquada Creek, and Union Ship Canal are abutted by D-IL and D-IH property, to not include these classifications in this provision would potentially result in massive new signs being allowed as of right along our waterfront. 1 1 i 5. The Outer Harbor Preservation.Buffalo Niagara strongly advocates changes in the proposed zoning for the Outer Harbor.A majority of the land is zoned D-OG (Green),which at first glance appears to be appropriate based on the public's desired use of the land for recreational purposes. However,when one looks at the forms,square footage, and uses allowed within this zone much more development is allowed on the Outer Harbor than the public has expressed interest in through the various public planning processes over the last several years. For example,with the D-OG's buildable lot coverage of 25%,the 31.79 acre parcel in the map below would equate to a 7.9 acres buildable,which is roughly a 340,000 square foot building.To put that in perspective, a Super Walmart is 260,000 square feet. If you add up the buildable acres for all of the Outer Harbor parcels zoned D-OG the total buildable square footage is roughly 1.9 Million square feet, or 7 Super Walmarts. This development level is completely out of scale to the community's desired development level on the Outer Harbor. r� t t by §;�y5r �� ,�,a � �L ".1 CI`1 i °� 3 , t l i t r 2 Tit, �ia b fi ,,,--44,1,-.t x Sa 3�r C`. y r ' d � At- '''f,,, d e g Ey, tirtm.,k,-45F47-,:---'er.--xa ,-,:,71t,:',1,4..,,2, iz," .,',e,:--yibliqi se:1-kr'144/V j'',44,..,--°ir: --, 4,1..',4 i ,kkke`iLl`it fc:katc*Nr-2,:47' .$kkl`'kkk:'-'.-A1`,.'%'1kOk-k.;:&414111NF,141,,k:,k'i.:X.;,;*:''kt'''!'4,1"kl.

Even though the vast majority of these uses are considered Special Use,the criteria for deciding whether to grant a Special Use Permit are not stringent enough to protect the public's interest in this unique and irreplaceable part of our community.

Lynda Stephens Buffalo 1 Request to Expand N-1-S Zoning in Green Code Tri-Main Secondary Employment Center Land.Use Change: The City of Buffalo's proposed Green Code Land Use Plan designates the area around Tri-Main Center as a Secondary Employment Center,outside of the downtown core.This designation is granted in hopes the area will again be the livable,walkable community it once was when the Buffalo Belt Line was active.To encourage this desired outcome,the proposed zoning use in the plan changes some of the area from general residential to N-1-S. Tri-Main is committed to development that creates a thriving SecondaryEmployment Center and community-based neighborhood.Currently,there are over goo people at work each day in Tri- Main Center,and more when 4.5 Jewett opens.To ensure the achievement of this goal,Tri-Main Development LLC requests the proposed plan to expand the N-z S zoning in the area include the south side of Brewster St and Leroy Avenues between Main Street and Fillmore Avenue,thereby providing consistency in this important development node.

CITY PROPOSED LAND USE TRI-MAIN PROPOSED LAND USE Neighborhood Devel.op.rnent Plans At the request of the City of Buffalo,Tri-Main Development LLC submits its development plan for the area, of the appropriate type,density and characterto facilitate economic growth,strengthen the neighborhood and sustain the environment. Tri-Main Center,the first large scale building rehabilitation project in Buffalo, has been a steady presence in the community for over 25 years,and the impetus for other developments that have helped to spur the revitalization of Buffalo. In part due we to the activity at the Tri-Main Center,the stretch of Main Street near Tri-Main Center has seen the completion of several redevelopment projects, including Canisius College's, Demerly Hall,the refurbishing of the Main-Jett apartments, and First Niagara Bank and LPCiminelli at ,49•400. g � ` 1 , t � the former Braun Cadillac Site. The area in the immediate vicinity of ° ' FI �� T Center,to the east, has also changed dramatically over the past 25 years. Because of the precipitous decline in the City's population during the last half of the loth century,and the ensuing drop in services,the area lost favor as a residential f ��� community. °. 11Z4.4141 .-019r,4 `� , What was once a mixed community of manufacturing,retail, and residential has • meq„ E � transitioned to a few commercial buildings r. largely surrounded by vacant lots and abandoned houses. Vacant Lots on Brewster Street Over the past 12 years Tri-Main Development has acquired a number of these lots and abandoned properties in the area. Tri-Main Development endeavors to uphold the appearance of the neighborhood by caring for and maintaining vacant lots,demolishing derelict houses, and temporarily providing plots for an urban farm operated by Tri-Main Center tenants. Throughout its'25 years at this site,Tri-Main Development has partnered with community organizations, faith based groups, educational institutions, residents and others for short and long term goals.FLARE,the former Central Presbyterian Church, Canisius College, People's Park,the F.A.T.H.E.R.S.and Journey's End Brewster Street Farm have worked with the owners and staff of Tri-Main Center, as well as our tenants,to provide events and services for this community.These include an Indoor Street Fair, a giant rummage sale, programming at People's Park, GED training and much more. The north end of Fillmore Avenue,once a bustling community, is poised to benefit from the resurgence in Buffalo. Led by Tri-Main Development's commercial interests providing employment opportunities and LPCiminelli's residential development of the former Central Park Plaza,this area can once again be a local hub in Masten district and an important Secondary employment Center within the City of Buffalo. o Vacant land for development purposes The following is required, • An applicant must provide sketch with dimensions,detailed cost estimates,and financial plans sufficient to erect and maintain a structure: • Provide verification of current source(s)of Income(recent pay-stub,W-2,tax return,etc.). • Submit evidence of the financial ability to meet the budget In the form of three(3) most recent monthly bank statements,line of credit,or letter of commitment or Intent to finance the proposed project from a recognized financial institution. • An appraisal of the property from a licensed real estate appraiser establishing its value may be required. The Purchaser is responsible for cost of Appraisers Services. Do Not Hire An Appraiser Until Advised To Do So By The Division Of Real Estate: • All required permits and approvals must be obtained by the purchaser. • The specified structure must be erected on the premises within twelve(12)months from the transfer of title. Tri-Main Development LLC is requesting that the City approve our applications to purchase the vacant lots in this area,from the City, based on the development plan contained in this submission.Although we are able to meet the financial and permitting requirements,the detailed plans and cost estimates,and twelve month building schedule, are not congruent with the City's long range plan for the neighborhood. The City of Buffalo and Tri-Main Development LLC have similar interest in seeing the development of the area around Tri-Main Center. Our request addresses the objectives of the Green Code to minimize regulation barriers to the adaptive reuse of vacant structures and land,to prevent abandonment and blight,and to allow interim and permanent re-uses for vacant land. We look forward to working with the City so that these properties are put to the best use and we can continue to develop this area in a reasonable time frame. { I7 1 12 Rumsey Road Buffalo, New York 14209-1016 2 April 2016 Mr. Dinash Lal Common Council Chief of Staff Common Council Central Office 1413 City Hall Buffalo, NY 14202 Dear Mr. Lal: RE: Comments on the Proposed Buffalo Green Code I believe the current Buffalo Green Code draft is seriously flawed in regards to the proposed standards for the Elmwood Village area; consisting generally of the area from Forest Avenue on the North to Richmond Avenue on the West to Delaware Avenue on the East and Utica Avenue (or Summer Street) on the South. Detailed, specific changes and rationale for same can be found at: http://www.ev-gcworkinggroup.org/. In general the change proposals by the ev-gcworkinggroup.org group address the following items in the Buffalo Green Code, which I support and urge you to adopt: 1) I support the Working Group amendment for 3 story buildings, not 5 story buildings in the Elmwood commercial district (2 C and 2 E, I believe). 2) I support the Working Group amendment for a maximum area in commercial district of 2,500 square foot ground floor, not 10,000 sq ft as proposed in the Green Code. 3) I support the creation of an Overlay District for the Elmwood Village to protect and support its nationally recognized neighborhood character. 4) 1 support reducing the size and impact of large commercial buildings on neighbors' first houses on side streets. 5_) I support requiring Special Use permits for new Stacked units (apartment buildings) and attached row residential houses in Neighborhoods. The above changed are important both in order to preserve the quality of life for residents of Elmwood Village and to preserve the characteristics and character of this area of Buffalo which have enabled it to gain a reputation as one of the top 10 best livable and walkable urban neighborhoods in the United States. This is something that is extremely difficult to achieve and ought not to be changed; however, the current draft of the Buffalo Green Code will degrade this over time. Please prevent this from happening by supporting and incorporating the Green Code changes recommended by the ev-gc working group outlined in detail in the above web site. They have gone to great lengths to detail positive changes, saving others many man hours/weeks of work. Please listen to them and to all of us who have made these comments over and over again at many public hearings in order to preserve the integrity of this nationally renowned special Buffalo neighborhood.

As a resident of Elmwood, I am more than troubled by the direction of this proposal.The Elmwood Village has gained national attention as one of the most liveable urban neighborhoods in America,yet our developers are looking to destroy the very qualities that make it a great place to live. I can just hear the wheels turning toward profit without any consideration of the consequences for the city-once more a Bass Pro approach to our most valuable resources. I oppose the proposal to allow larger commercial spaces, larger apartment buildings in our residential neighborhoods, no plan for off-street parking, and lack of community participation through Common Council review. This e-mail was sent from a contact form on Buffalo Green Code (http://www.buffalogreencode.com/newsite) 1 1 i Page 1 of 5 74 � Dated: April 2, 2016 1 Further Written Comments and Recommendation Submitted to the Common Council by Councilman Feroleto's Elmwood Village Community Working Group On the Draft Green Code To date, the Common Council has received for review the Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement (DGEIS), the Draft Unified Development Ordinance and related documents referred to as the Draft Green Code. Since then, it has conducted two hearings at which many citizens and community groups have provided both oral and written comments detailing concerns with various parts of the Draft Green Code. The most frequently voiced concerns deal with the Draft Green Code's impact on the Elmwood Village and the Waterfront. While the Draft Green Code is an attempt to simplify present zoning ordinances by providing a uniform and user---friendly guide to commercial and residential development within the City of Buffalo, its effect will be to encourage overdevelopment in the Elmwood Village, while all but ignoring other parts of the city. Each neighborhood within the city has different needs and because certain areas within the City are presently more financially interesting to developers than others, there is the likelihood of overdevelopment in one neighborhood at the expense of others. Overdevelopment in a section like the Elmwood Village could undermine the very quality, character and style which makes it so attractive. Recommendations to the Common Council The Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement (DGEIS), the Draft Unified Development Ordinance (the Draft Green Code), and all related documents should be returned to the Office of Strategic Planning for further review and with focused and specific directives. { Page 2 of 5 In its review, the Office of Strategic Planning should take thorough and comprehensive steps so as to address the following issues: A. Review of the 2006 Comprehensive Plan, formally known as the "Queen City in the 21st Century: Buffalo's Comprehensive Plan", so as to ensure that the Green Code and related documents are consistent with its goals and determinations. Where the Office of Strategic Planning determines that provisions within the Draft Green Code should replace any provisions within the 2006 Comprehensive Plan, the Office of Strategic Planning should explain why any such provisions should be overturned/replaced. B. Consider carefully and analyze the Report and Comments submitted by Councilman Feroleto's Elmwood Village Community Working Group on the Green Code (dated March 3, 2016), in addition to all of the other comments and documentation received by the Common Council during the sixty day comment period. C. Conduct public outreach presentations and hearings designed to receive further comments — both in oral and further written submissions. The public hearings should be citizen—friendly, meaning more than mere post- --it boards. The process should be formatted similar to the hearings conducted by the Common Council on March 15, 2016 and April 2, 2016. D. Amend and modify the Draft Green Code (and related documents, as necessary) to Page 3 of 5 r ib\ C‘ ensure that any development in the Elmwood Village conforms to the present scale and character of the Elmwood Village. The Office of Strategic Planning should specifically address the following: 1. Continuing the Elmwood Village Design Standards (§511---155) of the present Zoning Ordinance with two modifications: a.) Require that any building within the Elmwood Village Business District be no more than 3 stories and no less than 2 stories; b.) Reinstate the requirement for a restricted/special use permit to be voted on by the Common Council in order to demolish any building within the Elmwood Village, adopting the relevant provisions from the present Code at §511---56(D) and §511- --5. 2. Consider and report on the following specific issues relating to the Elmwood Village: a. Common Council Review: Make provisions within the Green Code that ensure that the Common Council may review and approve/deny major developments in the Elmwood Village in excess of the limits set out in the Green Code which should include the limits identified below. Page 4 of 5 a}'' b. Building Height: Limit business district buildings to no more than 3 stories and no less than 2 stories in the Elmwood Village Business District; projects over 3 stories would still be a possibility utilizing a special use permit, involving Common Council oversight. c. Retail Size: Set a maximum of 2,500 square feet for commercial businesses, as currently required under the Elmwood Village Design Standards District; projects over 2500 square feet would still be a possibility utilizing a special use permit, involving Common Council oversight. d. Parking: Provide additional attention to the serious issue of parking within the Elmwood Village, especially those streets and residences immediately adjacent to the Elmwood Village Business District which have little or no off--street parking. Creating additional permanent density with apartment buildings (stacked units) in the residential or commercials areas without any requirement for commensurate additional parking arrangements ignores the reality of limited public transportation in the Elmwood Village. Concomitantly, it ignores the additional reality of often--harsh Buffalo winters, thus limiting bicycle use. Further, based on recent development proposals and actual construction in the Elmwood Village, housing units will be priced to attract high--end residents, like retirees and empty nesters returning to the City — individuals more pre-- disposed to automobile use. Requiring a "Transportation Demand Management" study is insufficient because the Draft Green Code provides no remedy, options or solutions to address the reality that Buffalo is a car--centric city in a northern clime with a less than robust public transportation system. e. Apartment Buildings: Prohibit apartment buildings (stacked units) which would be inconsistent with the height, width, character, style and historic significance of the neighboring homes on residential streets within the Elmwood Village. f. Demolition: Protect all buildings and homes from demolition within the National Historic Districts of the Elmwood Village. Page 5 of 5 ,° v g. Development in Other Areas: Encourage economic development in other neighborhoods of the city, not only the Elmwood Village. E. Serious consideration should be given to making the Elmwood Village a Special Overlay District as a means to achieve the goals and considerations set forth herein. F. Upon completion of its review and modifications, the Office of Strategic Planning should re---submit the Draft Green Code and related documents to the Common Council, addressing each of the above matters; to promote clarity, efficiency and transparency, such re--- submission should also include a detailed comparison between the previously submitted Draft Green Code and the re---submitted Draft Green Code. [As an example, Tab C of the Feroleto Working Group Report/Comments utilized a format showing existing language and proposed language; the resubmission should provide a similar format which demonstrates the differences between the first Draft Green Code and the re---submitted Draft Green Code.] NOTE: Obviously, any return to the Office of Strategic Planning for review and revision should also include consideration of other comments made relative to other parts of the City such as the Waterfront District and Historic Preservation within the City as a whole. { A 5 k 008 ()) 0 HSR March 31, 2016 To Whom It May Concern: RE: Brownfield Cleanup Site# C915304 The enclosed public notice announces the receipt of a complete Brownfield Cleanup Program application package by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
