Project Wide Update: Bart Roberts gave an update on some of the recent and upcoming community engagement activities for the initiative. Anthony Armstrong provided an update on the Fair Housing Equity Assessment. For full description on the work presented at the meeting, see the Powerpoint Presentation.

Community Engagement update items: Preliminary Results of Scenario Planning Workshops: At Community Congress Workshops this past fall, citizens got to map what they want their future Buffalo Niagara to look like in forty years. An update was given on the trends and common themes emerging from an analysis of the 57 maps citizens across the region created at the November 2013 workshops. Citizen Planning School: This Spring, residents across the two-county region will have the opportunity to learn planning basics at the One Region Forward Citizen Planning School and put that knowledge to task by proposing their own idea for a community sustainability project. Text It Forward: A brief survey using the text function of your mobile phone, Text it Forward seeks to further broaden the conversation shaping One Region Forward. Citizens can take the survey every month to have their responses added to the survey results.

Fair Housing Equity Assessment: A brief presentation on the FHEA work was given by Anthony Armstrong. More information about the FHEA can be found here.

Understand the historical, current and future context for segregation and discrimination, equity and opportunity in the region and the data and evidence that demonstrates those dynamics

Engage regional leaders and stakeholders on findings and implications of analysis Integrate knowledge developed through the Regional FHEA exercise into the strategy

development process (e.g., priority setting and decision making) A host of systemic factors have led to the extreme geographic segregation and racial and

ethnic disparities in educational attainment, wealth, and quality-of -life throughout the region. These factors have included local, state and federal policy and investment decisions,

discriminatory practices within the private sector and individual actions and biases. Some of these policies have been outlawed or overturned, but there is not a systemic response

to overcoming generations of inequality. The decision-making framework within the region needs to be more intentionally inclusive

and reflective of the pervasive challenges of geographic, racial and ethnic disparities.

Working Team Progress Report, Discussion and Feedback: Through six groups of meetings, the five working teams have generated draft content for inclusion in the One Region Forward planning recommendations. At the meeting, the draft content was presented by each of the facilitators in its entirety, followed by a discussion and “clicker” feedback activity for each focus area. In addition, a discussion was held on cross-cutting information and a model of implementation based upon the recommendations that have come out of the 1RF Steering Committee and five working teams. Working Team members were asked to give feedback on the overall direction of the work, recognizing more work needs to be done and details need to be refined. The major framing questions were:

Are the shape and direction right? Are there some glaring omissions? Is there a major idea that needs clarification? Is there something that doesn’t belong? What are your “big picture” concerns?

A Work Ethic for One Region Forward: Certain core values animate our work to Move One Region Forward and represent important principles that guided all of the work. These include collaboration, participation, learning, informed decision-making, stewardship for the future, and a commitment to build community wealth. The plan shows the way we can make these values a reality as we work to implement the actions needed to Move One Region Forward. A full description of the work ethic can be found on page 24 of the handout.

Land Use and Development: Each participant received ten “sticker dots” which they could use to accentuate preliminary recommendations they like and raise questions about those they do not like. Below is how all participants used their stickers to provide feedback on draft content from Land Use and Development. For detailed strategies and actions supporting this statement, see pages 2 – 6 of the Meeting handout

Overall Thoughts on Direction of Work: Summary Statement: Promote a more compact pattern of development for economy, mobility, quality of place, energy, food, and environment.

Members were asked for feedback on Land Use and Development choosing that its outline is:

1. Complete and on target. 2. Okay depending on the details. 3. Missing some crucial content 4. Includes some things that don’t

belong. 5. Missing things/wrong things. 6. Other Comments/I don’t know.

Thoughts and Comments: Link public facilities, throughout region.

Minimize needs for transportation to one central place.

Agricultural land- farmers aging selling lands to developers- losing agricultural land due to farming dipping

as a career.

Address the problem of over developed public space including the stranglehold that a few big developers

have on the reuse of currently empty or underutilized commercial space in order to drive new building or

otherwise hold off reuse within existing hubs.

It may be useful to provide some templates for updating zoning codes and building codes that are currently

supporting the equity and quality of life goals this project is trying to support. Too many exclusivity rather

than mixed use, mixed values etc.

To protect agricultural opportunities, promote use of storm water mgt. / drainage districts to maintain

water mgt. infrastructure (not expand into wetlands, floodplains etc.). This is critical because of parcel

fragmentation and all the region’s reliance on related land for agricultural production.

Re education connection; we don’t need and we should not try to solve all the problems facing us. Let’s

focus more to ensure success.

Need to ensure communities have the capacity to introduce/ promote maintain smart growth principles.

Tight connection between LU housing- many of the strategies in housing will apply to LU for monitoring,

accountability, much cross over. Strong connection between LU and demographics.

Need to ensure the urbanized is defined to include places where there has been significant investment in

infrastructure- trust ring suburbs not just cities/ towns.

Develop infrastructure in farmlands- no 3 phase transmission lines- highly insufficient system with

excessive losses; no easy access to better facilities. Improve internet/broadband in rural areas.

Fee discouragement to achieve goals; impact fee; land use conversion tax.

Codes; add environmental zoning codes.

Keep regional planning board model in plans- it is ideal but practically unpopular.

Contain incentives; community-maintain programs.

Transportation and Mobility: Each participant received ten “sticker dots” which they could use to accentuate preliminary recommendations they like and raise questions about those they do not like. Below is how all participants used their stickers to provide feedback on draft content from Transportation and Mobility.

Overall Thoughts on Direction of Work: Summary Statement: Strategically invest and develop our transportation system to align with land use, save energy, and make everyone mobile

Members were asked for feedback on Transportation and Mobility by choosing that its outline is:

1. Complete and on target. 2. Okay depending on the details. 3. Missing some crucial content 4. Includes some things that don’t

belong. 5. Missing things/wrong things. 6. Other Comments/I don’t know.

Thoughts and Comments: Greenways to connect both natural areas and development hubs and connecting corridors.

Movement to working from home or other locations- less commuting- less use of gas- resulting in less tax

revenue.

Balance needs to transport goods and material with community health needs specifically development by the

Peace Bridge Transport of toxic materials via roadways trail.

Removal of commercial traffic from skyways and make a walkway under the roadbed.

Build the south Towns connector.

Use rail beds for transit expansion.

Transportation is missing something about water as a means of transportation.

Improve public transport between Buffalo & Niagara.

Expand intermodal transportation.

Utilize Niagara Falls Airport as the cargo hub- develop train infrastructure to that hub.

Members were asked for feedback on Climate Change Action by choosing that its outline is:

1. Complete and on target. 2. Okay depending on the details. 3. Missing some crucial content 4. Includes some things that don’t

belong. 5. Missing things/wrong things. 6. Other Comments/I don’t know.

1. Complete and on target. 2. Okay depending on the

details. 3. Missing some crucial content 4. Includes some things that

don’t belong. 5. Missing things/wrong things. 6. Other Comments/I don’t

Develop energy efficient investment widespread across all communities.

Create zoning across whole region to stop subdivision in suburbs and discourage developers and home builders

from building on “spec”

Increase support and demand for net zero housing in new construction projects.

Members were asked for feedback on Food Access and Justice by choosing that its outline is:

1. Complete and on target. 2. Okay depending on the

details. 3. Missing some crucial

content 4. Includes some things that

don’t belong. 5. Missing things/wrong

things. 6. Other Comments/I don’t

know.

Thoughts and Comments:

Heavy focus on farming and agriculture. What about nutrition education and other ways to encourage healthy and

economical eating?

A lot of promotion not enough active encouragement.

Does not address active conversion of unutilized and underutilized land to farming use.

With respect to regional food systems, it is critical to recognize that Erie- Niagara is too small a region.

Home gardening is among the more critical of affordability quality and sustainability.

Explore strategies for providing farm workers with opportunities to develop equity interest in agriculture as

another strategy for bringing in the next generation of farmers in the region.

Foster next generation of farmers- its an expensive business to start; agri-tourism; value added agriculture

incubators for small scale food products and businesses- see Hardwick, VT model

Education- portion control to useless food. To have more food for all.

Cooking for no waste

Consider Aquaponics/hydroponics in addition to urban farming. Create model systems of closed loop aquaponic

system powered by wind/solar. Example- 1. Growing power or sweet water foundation Wisconsin. 2. Morrisville

state college.

More about education for using local plants/ veg for year round use- canning, food prep freezing techniques such

as IQF.

Agree with need to promote retirement planning for farmers, will be a growing issue with aging population. Any

way to subsidize?

Lots of land preserved in some communities-need to know that these lands will continue to be used for farming,

otherwise could be future LU change for local community planners.

Promote local food production at all levels.

How much is locally sourced? Climate does not lend itself to fear sound farming. What alternatives have we

thought to allow for local sourcing?

Aging farmers- farming not viewed as a career.

What is there a discussion of hunger?

Food access is missing something about lack of affordability of healthy food as compared to processed foods ( a

different aspect of access to healthy foods).

Strategy Action Item Emphasize Disagree

Create the Buffalo Niagara Regional Planning Network.

Moving One Region Forward will build on the work of a broad-based stakeholder steering committee to create the Buffalo Niagara Regional Planning Network – a voluntary association of local governments, state and regional agencies, community based organizations, advocacy groups, and anchor institutions that will come together to share information, solve problems, hold one another accountable, monitor the results and otherwise “work the plan.” 14

Organize a regional public data gathering and analysis capacity.

Fulfilling the need for objective public data. Housing, property, transportation, energy use, land use, water quality, etc. etc. But also manifesting the commitment to build on existing staff – we’ll build a data team that puts staff from two counties, NFTA, GBNRTC, the larger municipalities, the University at Buffalo, NYS Department of Labor, and others as needed to plan the system and guide its management. 10

Provide best practices information and technical assistance

Other regions have faced the same challenges we face in Buffalo Niagara and there is much we can learn from them. We will assemble a repository of best practices from around the nation and beyond on issues of transportation, housing, land use management, urban design, urban agriculture, green energy production and more. We will also organize the technical assistance capacity to help local officials and citizens put this knowledge into action. 9

Conduct and promote programs of public education on sustainability.

Broad-based change in the way we do things requires broad-based learning over time. One Region Forward will offer a Citizen Planning School in 2014 to kick off a long-range effort, providing elected officials, municipal staff, and citizens in general a comprehensive primer on sustainability topics. The consortium will organize on-line resources for continuing education. And partners in higher education and the public schools will develop on-going sustainability education programs for the long haul. 11

Overall Thoughts on Direction of Work: Summary Statement: Implement, monitor and revise the plan through a collaborative network process

Members were asked for feedback on the direction of the Cross-Cut ideas by choosing:

1. Complete and on target. 2. Okay depending on the details. 3. Missing some crucial content 4. Includes some things that don’t belong. 5. Missing things/wrong things. 6. Other Comments/I don’t know.

Thoughts and Comments:

The Planning Network is good but it doesn’t eliminate the need for a regional planning board.

Separate entity. Forcing Accountability. Advocate first and Educate second.

How do you make collaboration possible? Politics is temporary. Needs to be long term.

Explore from an angles, remember that what may be positive for one community may be a detriment for another.

Details are necessary and right, but a strategic plan with a timeline would increase accountability and mutual

problem-solving.

Encourage responsible development. Do not endorse inefficient technology. Work with specific industry

regulatory body.

Implementation- I agree with comment on tying this to REDC project funding. Does this proposal meet the

criteria determined through the 1RF plan? If so, it gets funded. MONEY!! Publicize the plan/educate the public so

that this plan starts to influence local elections and promotes local implementation.

Implementation- Try association of Erie County Governments.

The last set of community workshops was eye-opening to the number of people in decision making roles

(planning boards, town councils). That does not have a basic understanding of general planning principles. Need

for education and citizen planning series.

Implementation – Not sure voluntary participation will work. What about tying resources to participation, i.e.

local capacity building/staffing. Regional property info system will be critical to ensuring a data-based “story” of

what things “are”. So the importance of the plan and its implementation can be known, and the results are proven

– Might entire greater participation.

To sustain the collaboration/network need to invest in a Central Body to coordinate. Funding from stakeholders.

Funding from Foundation. Funding from Government (all levels). We all have to have SLL in the game if we will

provide the “stick” – hold each other accountable to foster change.

Economic/Financial incentives are necessary to implement every part of the plan.

Erie County needs a Planning Board.
