The new Green Code, to be a citywide form-based code, would also streamline and simplify the development approvals process and aim to make the city more competitive in attracting jobs and investment, says the Buffalo News:
"Making redevelopment easier is a critical factor in reviving Buffalo, and must remain a key City Hall goal. Good zoning codes are a part of that process, and long have troubled developers trying to wend their way through the system- so the mayor's recent announcement, in the historic Larkin District, of a three-year $2.1 million overhaul of zoning regulations can be put in the category of good news."
