July 29th: Zoning Amendment Overview
7-28-25 Common Council Legislative Committee on Zoning Amendment for 379 Paderewski
TLDR:
Buffalo Common Council (BCC) addressed a rezoning application for 379 Paderewski Drive intended to change the site from “residential” to “mixed-use” zoning.
BCC did not mention it would be for a police training facility. Nowakowski had no comment.
Chris Hawley (City of Buffalo Senior Strategic Planner, representative for the Central Terminal Neighborhood Association) claimed neighborhood support for the facility and a larger local police presence.
Meanwhile, several Central Terminal residents signed off on a statement saying otherwise.
Some community members spoke out against the amendment and the facility, citing:
- Lack of transparency from the city
- Lack of community input
- Concerns about cost
- Lack of compliance with Green Code & SEQRA
