Map the future of Buffalo- North

The document summarizes a community workshop held on March 2, 2011 to gather input from residents on planning the future land use of their neighborhood as part of developing the Buffalo Green Code. At the workshop, residents broke into small groups to identify important neighborhood assets, areas that are strong and weak, and where they desired changes. They noted these locations on maps of their community and suggested new "building block" land use patterns for areas needing change. The input would be used to create a draft future land use plan and help establish a foundation to protect community values and guide redevelopment through the new zoning ordinance.
