Orchard Park Building Height Restriction Near New Buffalo Bills Stadium

Planned

Orchard Park is considering reimposing a height limit of 35 feet (about two-and-a-half stories) on buildings near the new Buffalo Bills stadium at Abbott and Big Tree roads to the Hamburg border. This change reverses a previous zoning update that allowed buildings up to four stories high in the area. The restriction aims to address public safety concerns and preserve residential neighborhood character, potentially impacting hotel and other development near the stadium. The town hired LaBella Associates to conduct a comprehensive stadium area development study and make recommendations.
