Office of Economic Development c/;o Site Manager Golden 2121 Seventh Avenue Seattle, Washington 98121 Dear Mr. Becca. The City of Buffalo is a tremendous place to 'do business. Our region has a vibrant economy and a rich history of being a strong industrial center.,We are a hub for the technology, manufacturing, energy and tornism-mdustries, and We continue to attract new retailers and entrepreneurs who are ready for business. Our successes include: Willis TOWers Watson, IBM Buffalo Innovation Center, Panasonic and Tesla, to name a few, I am proud of the economic resurgence that has energized our City, attracting capital, businesses a and people. Buffalo has swiftly become a place Where people want to live, Work, play and visit. ,One of the key components to this success has been the full support of my Administration for ensuring that businesses have a clear path for development, t'vhich is achieved expeditiously Without ?red tape? or unreasonable fees or restrictions. We have Worked very hard to break down any barriers which would prevent the implementation of the most ef?cient and effective practices for doing business inBuffalo. - In fact, doing business here has never been more seamless. This is largely due to the City?s ?rst . comprehensive zoning rewrite in more than 60 years, designed to reinforce the City?s walkable, mixed use neighborhoods and strengthen its economic centers. The Unified Development Ordinance 7 the ?Green Code? promotes investment in many ways, including easing the approval process, making it much easier to undertalceidevelopment projects without encountering needless bureaucracy; Additionally, the code embraces transiportation alternatives, promotes inixed~use neighborhoods and expands housing chOiCes. - When I unveiled the Green Cede project in 2010, my top priority was characterizing the zoning rewrite as an economic development initiative, designed to provide more certainty and predictability to investors a to remove barriers to walkable, mixedaise development. Buffalo?s economy continues to build momentum, with nearly $8 billion in construction projects either completed or underway. This is due to our eagerness to facilitate growth and development and our commitment to fostering healthy public?private partnerships. I have reduced property tax rates fer residents, and businesses, achieved the highest credit ratings in our City?s history, and maintain some of the lowest taxes and building permit fees in the State. - es NIAGARA squares 201 CITYHAIL recreate, NY 142023392 (716) 8514841 [can (716)851?4360 Our growth is undeniable, Buffalo has come a Very long way in a short period Of time and we are only going to continue to climb. The accompanying proposal that has been submitted for your review would inevitably propel Buffalo to an unprecedented peak in our pro gress. The City of Buffalo and all of our agencies, authorities,.depaitments and my office - would offer our complete cooperation and support for every aspect of this proposal; and are extremely hopeful that we have the opportunity to advance in this pro cess, so that you can truly appreciate all that our great City has to offer. - . . i .

Responding io considerable inpui from residenfs and business owners, ii is a "form~based code," emphasizing neighborhood characfer as ifs organizing principle. This approach was chosen because of ifs unique capaciiy, for help realize fhe communify?s vision for walkable, fransifmsupporfive neighborhoods. When May-or Byron Brown unveiled fhe Green Code, projeci in 20i0, he firsl and foremosf characierized fhe zoning rewrife as an economic developmenf inifiafive, designed fo provide more cerfainfy and predicfabillfy fo invesfors and fo remove barriers fo walkable, mixeduse developmenf. The previous zoning ordinance, which hadn?f-been comprehensively rewriffen in 64 years, was principally designed io separafe uses, 'resfrici densiiy, and reshape fhe cify fo focuson fhe needs of fhe car. This was in conflicf wifh fhe walkable, mixed~use paffern of developmenf fhaf c?haracferized Buffalo's hisforic neighborhoods and had increasingly become a basis for fheir resurgence. By 2010, if became clear fhaf fhe old zoning ordinance?had become a regulafory obsfacle io further economic growfh and regenerdfion, somefhing lhaf could be fixed only wifh a folal rewrife of fhe code. 20. . The code is wriffen in plain English and supplemented by helpful diagrams, flowcharfs, and illusfrafions. The idea is fhaf code users?nof iusf land use afforneys, louf homeowners, small businesspeople, and fhe like?can easily undersfand whaf is required and know' how fo gef permifs wifhouf having fo falk fo a- single person in Cify Hall.

This is infended fo help, and already appears fo be helping, Buffalo compefe for falenf and invesfmenf. Among fhe reforms in fhe UDO, fhefoilowing are infended fo promofe enfrepreneurship and invesfmenf: - . Promofes mixed~use neighborhoods. The code significanfly expands opporfunifies for walkable, mixed?use developmenf, especially downf?own, in neighborhoods, in former indusfrial areas, and along fhe waferfronf. This expands opfions for enfrepreneurs fo locafe, expand, and fap info pofenfial cusfomer bases. Embraces fransporfafion alfernafives. The code eliminafes all'min'imum parking requiremenfs, implemenfs apolicy on how fo do complefe sfreefs, and encourages walking, biking, and fransif use. This isnecessary for Buffalo fo compefe wifh peer cifres on offering an urban lifesfyle. Expands housing. choice. The code responds fo emerging m'arkef frends ihaf demand a mix of housing fypes in each neighborhood, including defached house, rowhouse, mulfiuclwelling, and even accessOry dwelling unifs, and allows as-of?righf densifies io'supporf amenify-rich neighborhoods. This gives fiexibilify fo fhe markefplace fo deliver on housing producfs in demand by all ages, demographics, and incomes. . . Eases fhe approval process. The code makes if much easier fo undertake developmenf projecfs. Under fhe previous zoning, any invesfmenf over $80,000 in value required sife plan review and a public hearing, and foo offen required variances fhaf hindered and slowed fhe pace of developmenf. Now if is possible, if a projecf meefs all fhe'basic requiremenfs of fhe code, fo gel quick approvals fo build a shop, renovafe a hisforic building, or open a business?wifhouf encounfering needless bureaucracy and red fape.

Rochester has always been a city of technology and innovation. Dating back to the birth of photographic .iilm, there are very few technologies in use throughout the world m? from cameras and cars, to satellites and stinglasses that do not include technology researched or built right here in Rochester, New York. . - . Building on this history of innovation and cutting-edge technology, Rochester is now the photoniCs capital of the world, home to AIM Photonics a national manufacturing institute focused on the research of integrated photonics. And other next generation technology companies are ?nding a home in Rochester, because oi?our history of innovation, our . private?public partnerships, and our low?cost but high?quality standard of living. Rochester is a very-affordable city, With varied housing options for all incomes and family sizes, and neighborhoodsto match anyone?s desires, We have the highest millennial population growth rate of any city in Upstate New York, atestament to the soul of Rochester and our growing list of amenities geared toward younger populations.
