Finger Lakes Land Use Project
Genesee/Finger Lakes Regional Planning Council is undertaking a wide-ranging project dealing with the changing development and landscape patterns across the region including agricultural viability, farm and woodland fragmentation, residential and commercial development, and the effect these changes have on natural resources and landscape of the region. The purpose of the project is to examine the issues, address the concerns, and assist counties and municipalities in relation to regional land use and development.
Guiding principles for the Finger Lakes Land Use (FLLU) project include:
-
The development of regional and local analysis and provision of associated municipal assistance.
-
Address the issues of growth, development, changing land use patterns, open space, and the effects this has on our natural (i.e. lakes, streams, woods, etc.) and cultural (i.e. farms, villages, cities, etc.) landscapes.
-
The project will be divided into two main components: (1) data gathering, compilation and analysis of various regional indicators and (2) outreach, education, and assistance to municipalities.
-
For the outreach, education, and assistance to municipalities segment of the project, Genesee/Finger Lakes Regional Planning Council will be able to directly work with several municipalities in the region; a procedure for collaborating with municipalities will be developed.
-
G/FLRPC will assist communities that are interested in developing and/or revising related land use plans and controls and land use best management practices.
