    A greeting from the tour chairperson Welcome to the 17th Annual Inside Downtown Tour! We’ve learned to be nimble during the yearlong pandemic and discovered that our virtual programs are reaching a whole new audience. Thank you for choosing to purchase an access ticket to the virtual tour. It will be available for your viewing pleasure from Friday night March 19th through Sunday night March 28th. Our 2020 Inside Downtown tour, highlighting our downtown core, this year showcases the evolution of downtown urban living for more than 100 years. Rochester and its downtown neighborhoods are historically significant through its culture, community as well as its brick and mortar. Each historic structure speaks to cultures and citizens that have passed through - with their accomplishments and setbacks; children who have grown to effect change whether near or far. The remaining gems are structures with good bones...all tell a story; some have new chapters some are waiting to begin anew. We also honor new construction that shows a connection to the environment, sensitively designed. Those that can be saved must be so for in that effort to reconnect, we too, are rehabilitated and reinvigorated. The Landmark Society works tirelessly to ensure this higher purpose. As community members, we often hear about urban efforts to repurpose, rehabilitate, and create ways to reuse historic buildings. Through this video, you will experience these iconic structures that are now vibrant with life. You will see why developers, residents and businesses have chosen to commit to Rochester’s centre city. What’s old is new, infused with a sense of community building and purpose.

  • Section IV 1 Section IV Proposed Land and Water Uses And
    City of Rochester Local Waterfront Revitalization Program Amendment Section IV Proposed Land and Water Uses and Proposed Projects Introduction The policies of the City of Rochester's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) were developed into a cohesive, physical plan for the city's waterfront area through the identification of appropriate land uses and projects for the various subareas within the LWRP boundary. These land uses and projects, in turn, reflect and implement the city's policy goals and statements for the waterfront area as outlined in Section III Policies. The process of developing appropriate land uses and projects included the identification of general land use subareas, assessment of the city's land use needs, and consideration of the development potential and constraints of major waterfront sites within the LWRP boundary. In addition, the city evaluated the proposed land uses and projects against the applicable policy goals and statements, in order to ensure that the land use plan was consistent with those policy objectives. A citizen's advisory committee (CAC) was formed to aid city staff in the preparation of development objectives and specific recommendations of the land use plan. Identification of LWRP Subareas In order to determine the types of land uses and projects which represented the most appropriate use of the city's waterfront resources, the area within the LWRP boundary was divided into 6 subareas. These subareas include: Subarea A-Durand-Eastman Park Subarea B-Open Space / Critical Environmental Areas Subarea C1-Developed portion of the Upland Area Subarea C2 -Buildable portion of the Upland Area Subarea D -River Harbor Zone and Lakefront Area Subarea E-Industrial Areas Each subarea was further divided into subzones which are shown on Map IV-1.

  • Appendix B the History of Rochester
    Appendix The History of B Rochester Appendix B | The History of ROchester DRAFT - ROCHESTER 2034 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN B-1 The History of Rochester Early History 1803 A 100-acre tract in Western New York along the Genesee river was purchased by Col. Nathanial Rochester, Maj. Charles Carroll, and Col. William Fitzhugh, Jr. 1817 The Village of Rochesterville was formally established along the Genesee River, from which the City of Rochester would grow. 1823 Connected via roads, the river, and rail lines, by 1823, the Rochesterville village was a booming agricultural, milling, and industrial center, fueled by the opening of the Erie Canal. 1834 In 1834, with a population hovering at around 10,000 people, Rochester was incorporated as a city. 1838 By 1838, numerous flour mills were in operation in the Browns Race district, powered by the Genesee River’s mighty High Falls waterfall. Rochester soon became the largest producer of flour in the United States and earned its nickname, the “Flour City.” The population of Rochester continued to increase, attracting immigrants and settlers eager to put down roots in the bustling city. The rapid growth earned Rochester the distinction of being America’s first “boom town”. 1850S As the production of flour shifted to westward cities in the 1850s, Rochester’s economy was in a phase of transition. Nursery and seed businesses were thriving and beginning to dominate the local economy, rendering Rochester its second nickname, the “Flower City.” This new identity was enhanced by George Ellwanger and Patrick Barry, the city’s most influential horticulturalists, who cultivated over 500 acres of land into the Mount Hope Nursery.
