Recommendations

1 That the report from Janice Given Manager - Growth Management and Special Policy Planning Design and Development Department dated August 21 2012 to the Planning Design and Development Committee meeting of September 17 2012 re Recommendation Report - Bramptons Response to the

Provincial Growth Plan - Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment and attachments be received

The City will require as appropriate the City-led coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Protected Countryside of the Greenbelt Plan to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

3 That staff be directed to finalize the Official Plan Amendment for the consideration of Council and

4 That the City Clerk be directed to forward this report and Council resolution to the Region of Peel Cityof Mississauga and Town of Caledon for information

Background

Brampton is required to conform to the Provincial Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth Plan) Between 2007 and 2010 the City undertook a review of its Official Plan to achieve conformity When the City undertook its Growth Plan conformity review it considered all changes required to the 2006 Official Plan document regardlessof whether the Official Plan policies were under appeal or not This approach was taken to ensure that the Growth Plan conformity review was comprehensive

On June 9 2010 Brampton Council adopted Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 which implemented the majority of the recommended changes that came out of the Citys Growth Plan conformity review Council could not at that time adopt amendments to those policies in the 2006 Official Plan that were under appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) as the ability to amend those policies was outside of Councils jurisdiction Instead Council endorsed those changes for future OMB approval Some of the policies that were before the OMB at the time of the preparation of Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 are now in force and effect This Official Plan Amendment therefore includes some but not all of the endorsed policies

Current Situation

On April 25 2012 Council received a draft Official Plan Amendment to adopt additional Growth Plan conformity policies and authorized it to be released for public consultation The changes proposed in this Official Plan Amendment form an integral part of the comprehensive policy direction and are to be considered together with the changes adopted by Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 This amendment is being brought

f-3

forward at this time so that the final approval of both amendments may occur comprehensively given their interrelationship

Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment

As outlined above the content of this Official Plan Amendment is integrally related to Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 The key components of the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment are summarized in the table below

Key Components of the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment

Section 2 - Context of the 2006 bull Policies related to Physical and Environmental Official Plan Considerations

bull Increased emphasis on Environmental Conservation and

bull Cultural heritage policies revised to put more emphasis on Bramptons heritage

Section 3 - Sustainable City bull Inclusion of additional policies on Sustainable Concept Planning Framework with regard to sustainability

conservation and complete communities bull Introduction of Policies for Major Transit Station

Areas and the identification of additional major transit station areas and

bull Clarification of Employment Area policies to specifically include offices as an employment use

New Section - Central Area bull Creation of a separate section for Central Area (to be numbered) policies and emphasizing the Urban Growth Centre

as part of the Central Area

Section 43 - Employment bull Clarification of ancillary uses in conjunction with Employment uses

Section 45 - Natural Heritage bull Updated policies to recognize Bramptons natural and Environmental Management heritage system

Public Awareness and Engagement Strategy

Bramptons Growth Plan conformity review included an extensive public awareness and engagement strategy consisting of a town hall meeting several workshops and several public information centres Over 500 attendees actively participated in the many public consultation opportunities provided throughout the Citys Growth Plan conformity review All of the proposed changes in the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment were part of the full public consultation process for the Growth Plan conformity review

P2-H

With one exception the final Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment is consistent with the draft amendment that was circulated for agency and public review (See the staff response to the submission by Davies Howe Partners LLP below for an explanation of the exception-)-shy

As part of the public awareness and engagement strategy and in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act a statutory open house and statutory public meeting were held to present the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment and provide an opportunity for the public to provide comments The statutory open house was held on May 31 2012 and the statutory public meeting on June 11 2012 A special Council meeting was held on August 8 2012 to allow further opportunity for public input The informal portion of the public meeting was attended by five parties no delegates addressed Council at the statutory public meeting or the special meeting of Council

Public Stakeholder and Agency Submissions

The draft Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment was circulated to the agencies and to the full list of persons expressing an interest in the Citys Growth Plan conformity review In response to the circulation of the draft Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment the City received seven submissions from the public stakeholders and agencies These comments are attached hereto as Appendix 2

Brampton Brick Ltd

A submission made by Davis Webb LLP on behalf of Brampton Brick requests the removal of references to specific Greenbelt Plan policies in Section 4514 The request is to amend the wording to include all applicable Greenbelt Plan policies rather than a partial list

Staff Response

The changes proposed to the wording of Policy 45141 as part of the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment are minor being the addition of Schedules 1 and E to the list of schedules that show the Greenbelt Area The reference to specific policies in the Greenbelt Plan is not one of the proposed changes in the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment the wording was part of the adopted 2006 Official Plan document

Staff notes that while Policy 45141 emphasizes four key policies in the Greenbelt Plan they are not intended to be exclusive all applicable Greenbelt Plan policies (including but not limited to the four emphasized policies) apply to the lands designated Provincial Greenbelt in the City of Brampton Official Plan Therefore staff is of the view that the policy as written addresses the concerns of Davis Webb LLP

Davis Webb LLP has been informed of the above and has advised that they will give further consideration to the need for further action

FZ-5 Osmington Inc

A submission made by Davies Howe Partners LLP on behalf of Osmington Inc proposes modifications to Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 and a modification to a policy to be revised through the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment This latter modification seeks clarification as to who would coordinate the environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

Staff Response

For the proposed modification relevant to the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment staff proposes a minor change to Section 45146 to add the words Cityshyled to indicate that the coordination of environmental studies for the North West

Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system will be undertaken by the City

For the proposed modifications to Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 staff and counsel for the City are working with Davies Howe Partners LLP to address Osmingtons issues A letter of response to Davies Howe Partners is included in Appendix 3 The results of these discussions will be part of a future staff report that brings forward modifications to Official Plan Amendment 2006-043

Next Steps

Upon receiving direction from Council staff will prepare the final Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment for adoption by Council Following Councils adoption of the amendment it will be forwarded to the Region of Peel for review and approval

Corporate Implications

Approval of the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment will move the Citys Official Plan closer to conformity with the Provincial Growth Plan If the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment is appealed to the OMB the City will seek to consolidate this amendment with the Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 appeals currently before the OMB

Conclusion

The Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment implements additional policy changes identified during the Citys Growth Plan conformity review The changes to a number of policies under appeal to the OMB at that time but that are now in force and effect form an integral part of the Citys comprehensive response to the Growth Plan

p-t

Upon authorization by Council the final Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment will be presented to Council for adoption and further processing for final approval

Thank you for providing the materials you had circulated (letter dated May 152012 and Brampton Staff Recommendation Report dated March 142012) regarding the above

From the material provided it is our understanding the proposed additional changes contained in the Staff Report were previously endorsed by Council - however being under appeal to the OMB were outside Councils jurisdiction at that time

In this regard the proposed changes of interest to CVC (primarily those policies contained in Section 45) had previouslybeen reviewed and revised to address CVC staffs comments back in May 2010 (email sent to Natalie Goss dated Mav 172010)

Recognizing this CVC staff continues to be generally satisfied our comments have been adequately addressed and I would appreciate your confirmation our understanding of this OPA is correct Upon confirmation Ican provide you with our final recommendation based on this initial review of the materials

Mr John Corbett

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Davies

Howe

Partners

LLP

f-32shy

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

Pi-3

Davies

Howe

Page 3

We understand that senior City staff is reviewing designating Station Road in a category that will result in it being development charge funded but that this has not yet been finalized Further our client has requested that Station Road be designated as a Minor Arterial or Collector Road and Secondary Transit Corridor as part of its official plan amendment If the status of Station Road is resolved before the completion of modifications to OPA 43 we request that the City initiate the modifications noted above via the Osmington application

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further clarification with respect to the above

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

Page 2: BRAMPTON p Report€¦ · Development Committee . Committee of the Council of . The Corporation of the City of Brampton . Date: ... final Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment,

Provincial Growth Plan - Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment and attachments be received

2 That Section 45146 of the Citys Official Plan be revised as follows as set out in the draft Official Plan Amendment attached to the report

The City will require as appropriate the City-led coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Protected Countryside of the Greenbelt Plan to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

3 That staff be directed to finalize the Official Plan Amendment for the consideration of Council and

4 That the City Clerk be directed to forward this report and Council resolution to the Region of Peel Cityof Mississauga and Town of Caledon for information

Background

Brampton is required to conform to the Provincial Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth Plan) Between 2007 and 2010 the City undertook a review of its Official Plan to achieve conformity When the City undertook its Growth Plan conformity review it considered all changes required to the 2006 Official Plan document regardlessof whether the Official Plan policies were under appeal or not This approach was taken to ensure that the Growth Plan conformity review was comprehensive

On June 9 2010 Brampton Council adopted Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 which implemented the majority of the recommended changes that came out of the Citys Growth Plan conformity review Council could not at that time adopt amendments to those policies in the 2006 Official Plan that were under appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) as the ability to amend those policies was outside of Councils jurisdiction Instead Council endorsed those changes for future OMB approval Some of the policies that were before the OMB at the time of the preparation of Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 are now in force and effect This Official Plan Amendment therefore includes some but not all of the endorsed policies

Current Situation

On April 25 2012 Council received a draft Official Plan Amendment to adopt additional Growth Plan conformity policies and authorized it to be released for public consultation The changes proposed in this Official Plan Amendment form an integral part of the comprehensive policy direction and are to be considered together with the changes adopted by Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 This amendment is being brought

f-3

forward at this time so that the final approval of both amendments may occur comprehensively given their interrelationship

Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment

As outlined above the content of this Official Plan Amendment is integrally related to Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 The key components of the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment are summarized in the table below

Key Components of the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment

Section 2 - Context of the 2006 bull Policies related to Physical and Environmental Official Plan Considerations

bull Increased emphasis on Environmental Conservation and

bull Cultural heritage policies revised to put more emphasis on Bramptons heritage

Section 3 - Sustainable City bull Inclusion of additional policies on Sustainable Concept Planning Framework with regard to sustainability

conservation and complete communities bull Introduction of Policies for Major Transit Station

Areas and the identification of additional major transit station areas and

bull Clarification of Employment Area policies to specifically include offices as an employment use

New Section - Central Area bull Creation of a separate section for Central Area (to be numbered) policies and emphasizing the Urban Growth Centre

as part of the Central Area

Section 43 - Employment bull Clarification of ancillary uses in conjunction with Employment uses

Section 45 - Natural Heritage bull Updated policies to recognize Bramptons natural and Environmental Management heritage system

Public Awareness and Engagement Strategy

Bramptons Growth Plan conformity review included an extensive public awareness and engagement strategy consisting of a town hall meeting several workshops and several public information centres Over 500 attendees actively participated in the many public consultation opportunities provided throughout the Citys Growth Plan conformity review All of the proposed changes in the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment were part of the full public consultation process for the Growth Plan conformity review

P2-H

With one exception the final Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment is consistent with the draft amendment that was circulated for agency and public review (See the staff response to the submission by Davies Howe Partners LLP below for an explanation of the exception-)-shy

As part of the public awareness and engagement strategy and in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act a statutory open house and statutory public meeting were held to present the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment and provide an opportunity for the public to provide comments The statutory open house was held on May 31 2012 and the statutory public meeting on June 11 2012 A special Council meeting was held on August 8 2012 to allow further opportunity for public input The informal portion of the public meeting was attended by five parties no delegates addressed Council at the statutory public meeting or the special meeting of Council

Public Stakeholder and Agency Submissions

The draft Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment was circulated to the agencies and to the full list of persons expressing an interest in the Citys Growth Plan conformity review In response to the circulation of the draft Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment the City received seven submissions from the public stakeholders and agencies These comments are attached hereto as Appendix 2

Brampton Brick Ltd

A submission made by Davis Webb LLP on behalf of Brampton Brick requests the removal of references to specific Greenbelt Plan policies in Section 4514 The request is to amend the wording to include all applicable Greenbelt Plan policies rather than a partial list

Staff Response

The changes proposed to the wording of Policy 45141 as part of the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment are minor being the addition of Schedules 1 and E to the list of schedules that show the Greenbelt Area The reference to specific policies in the Greenbelt Plan is not one of the proposed changes in the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment the wording was part of the adopted 2006 Official Plan document

Staff notes that while Policy 45141 emphasizes four key policies in the Greenbelt Plan they are not intended to be exclusive all applicable Greenbelt Plan policies (including but not limited to the four emphasized policies) apply to the lands designated Provincial Greenbelt in the City of Brampton Official Plan Therefore staff is of the view that the policy as written addresses the concerns of Davis Webb LLP

Davis Webb LLP has been informed of the above and has advised that they will give further consideration to the need for further action

FZ-5 Osmington Inc

A submission made by Davies Howe Partners LLP on behalf of Osmington Inc proposes modifications to Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 and a modification to a policy to be revised through the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment This latter modification seeks clarification as to who would coordinate the environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

Staff Response

For the proposed modification relevant to the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment staff proposes a minor change to Section 45146 to add the words Cityshyled to indicate that the coordination of environmental studies for the North West

Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system will be undertaken by the City

For the proposed modifications to Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 staff and counsel for the City are working with Davies Howe Partners LLP to address Osmingtons issues A letter of response to Davies Howe Partners is included in Appendix 3 The results of these discussions will be part of a future staff report that brings forward modifications to Official Plan Amendment 2006-043

Next Steps

Upon receiving direction from Council staff will prepare the final Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment for adoption by Council Following Councils adoption of the amendment it will be forwarded to the Region of Peel for review and approval

Corporate Implications

Approval of the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment will move the Citys Official Plan closer to conformity with the Provincial Growth Plan If the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment is appealed to the OMB the City will seek to consolidate this amendment with the Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 appeals currently before the OMB

Conclusion

The Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment implements additional policy changes identified during the Citys Growth Plan conformity review The changes to a number of policies under appeal to the OMB at that time but that are now in force and effect form an integral part of the Citys comprehensive response to the Growth Plan

p-t

Upon authorization by Council the final Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment will be presented to Council for adoption and further processing for final approval

Mr John Corbett

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Davies

Howe

Partners

LLP

f-32shy

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

Pi-3

~^$

Davies

Howe

Partners

LLP

Page 3

We understand that senior City staff is reviewing designating Station Road in a category that will result in it being development charge funded but that this has not yet been finalized Further our client has requested that Station Road be designated as a Minor Arterial or Collector Road and Secondary Transit Corridor as part of its official plan amendment If the status of Station Road is resolved before the completion of modifications to OPA 43 we request that the City initiate the modifications noted above via the Osmington application

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further clarification with respect to the above

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

further

forward at this time so that the final approval of both amendments may occur comprehensively given their interrelationship

Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment

As outlined above the content of this Official Plan Amendment is integrally related to Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 The key components of the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment are summarized in the table below

Key Components of the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment

Section 2 - Context of the 2006 bull Policies related to Physical and Environmental Official Plan Considerations

bull Increased emphasis on Environmental Conservation and

bull Cultural heritage policies revised to put more emphasis on Bramptons heritage

Section 3 - Sustainable City bull Inclusion of additional policies on Sustainable Concept Planning Framework with regard to sustainability

conservation and complete communities bull Introduction of Policies for Major Transit Station

Areas and the identification of additional major transit station areas and

bull Clarification of Employment Area policies to specifically include offices as an employment use

New Section - Central Area bull Creation of a separate section for Central Area (to be numbered) policies and emphasizing the Urban Growth Centre

as part of the Central Area

Section 43 - Employment bull Clarification of ancillary uses in conjunction with Employment uses

Section 45 - Natural Heritage bull Updated policies to recognize Bramptons natural and Environmental Management heritage system

Public Awareness and Engagement Strategy

Bramptons Growth Plan conformity review included an extensive public awareness and engagement strategy consisting of a town hall meeting several workshops and several public information centres Over 500 attendees actively participated in the many public consultation opportunities provided throughout the Citys Growth Plan conformity review All of the proposed changes in the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment were part of the full public consultation process for the Growth Plan conformity review

P2-H

With one exception the final Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment is consistent with the draft amendment that was circulated for agency and public review (See the staff response to the submission by Davies Howe Partners LLP below for an explanation of the exception-)-shy

As part of the public awareness and engagement strategy and in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act a statutory open house and statutory public meeting were held to present the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment and provide an opportunity for the public to provide comments The statutory open house was held on May 31 2012 and the statutory public meeting on June 11 2012 A special Council meeting was held on August 8 2012 to allow further opportunity for public input The informal portion of the public meeting was attended by five parties no delegates addressed Council at the statutory public meeting or the special meeting of Council

Public Stakeholder and Agency Submissions

The draft Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment was circulated to the agencies and to the full list of persons expressing an interest in the Citys Growth Plan conformity review In response to the circulation of the draft Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment the City received seven submissions from the public stakeholders and agencies These comments are attached hereto as Appendix 2

Brampton Brick Ltd

A submission made by Davis Webb LLP on behalf of Brampton Brick requests the removal of references to specific Greenbelt Plan policies in Section 4514 The request is to amend the wording to include all applicable Greenbelt Plan policies rather than a partial list

Staff Response

The changes proposed to the wording of Policy 45141 as part of the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment are minor being the addition of Schedules 1 and E to the list of schedules that show the Greenbelt Area The reference to specific policies in the Greenbelt Plan is not one of the proposed changes in the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment the wording was part of the adopted 2006 Official Plan document

Staff notes that while Policy 45141 emphasizes four key policies in the Greenbelt Plan they are not intended to be exclusive all applicable Greenbelt Plan policies (including but not limited to the four emphasized policies) apply to the lands designated Provincial Greenbelt in the City of Brampton Official Plan Therefore staff is of the view that the policy as written addresses the concerns of Davis Webb LLP

Davis Webb LLP has been informed of the above and has advised that they will give further consideration to the need for further action

FZ-5 Osmington Inc

A submission made by Davies Howe Partners LLP on behalf of Osmington Inc proposes modifications to Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 and a modification to a policy to be revised through the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment This latter modification seeks clarification as to who would coordinate the environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

Staff Response

For the proposed modification relevant to the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment staff proposes a minor change to Section 45146 to add the words Cityshyled to indicate that the coordination of environmental studies for the North West

Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system will be undertaken by the City

For the proposed modifications to Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 staff and counsel for the City are working with Davies Howe Partners LLP to address Osmingtons issues A letter of response to Davies Howe Partners is included in Appendix 3 The results of these discussions will be part of a future staff report that brings forward modifications to Official Plan Amendment 2006-043

Next Steps

Upon receiving direction from Council staff will prepare the final Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment for adoption by Council Following Councils adoption of the amendment it will be forwarded to the Region of Peel for review and approval

Corporate Implications

Approval of the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment will move the Citys Official Plan closer to conformity with the Provincial Growth Plan If the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment is appealed to the OMB the City will seek to consolidate this amendment with the Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 appeals currently before the OMB

Conclusion

The Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment implements additional policy changes identified during the Citys Growth Plan conformity review The changes to a number of policies under appeal to the OMB at that time but that are now in force and effect form an integral part of the Citys comprehensive response to the Growth Plan

p-t

Upon authorization by Council the final Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment will be presented to Council for adoption and further processing for final approval

Thank you for providing the materials you had circulated (letter dated May 152012 and Brampton Staff Recommendation Report dated March 142012) regarding the above

From the material provided it is our understanding the proposed additional changes contained in the Staff Report were previously endorsed by Council - however being under appeal to the OMB were outside Councils jurisdiction at that time

In this regard the proposed changes of interest to CVC (primarily those policies contained in Section 45) had previouslybeen reviewed and revised to address CVC staffs comments back in May 2010 (email sent to Natalie Goss dated Mav 172010)

Recognizing this CVC staff continues to be generally satisfied our comments have been adequately addressed and I would appreciate your confirmation our understanding of this OPA is correct Upon confirmation Ican provide you with our final recommendation based on this initial review of the materials

Mr John Corbett

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Davies

Howe

Partners

LLP

f-32shy

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

Pi-3

Howe

We understand that senior City staff is reviewing designating Station Road in a category that will result in it being development charge funded but that this has not yet been finalized Further our client has requested that Station Road be designated as a Minor Arterial or Collector Road and Secondary Transit Corridor as part of its official plan amendment If the status of Station Road is resolved before the completion of modifications to OPA 43 we request that the City initiate the modifications noted above via the Osmington application

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further clarification with respect to the above

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

Page 4: BRAMPTON p Report€¦ · Development Committee . Committee of the Council of . The Corporation of the City of Brampton . Date: ... final Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment,

P2-H

With one exception the final Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment is consistent with the draft amendment that was circulated for agency and public review (See the staff response to the submission by Davies Howe Partners LLP below for an explanation of the exception-)-shy

As part of the public awareness and engagement strategy and in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act a statutory open house and statutory public meeting were held to present the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment and provide an opportunity for the public to provide comments The statutory open house was held on May 31 2012 and the statutory public meeting on June 11 2012 A special Council meeting was held on August 8 2012 to allow further opportunity for public input The informal portion of the public meeting was attended by five parties no delegates addressed Council at the statutory public meeting or the special meeting of Council

Public Stakeholder and Agency Submissions

The draft Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment was circulated to the agencies and to the full list of persons expressing an interest in the Citys Growth Plan conformity review In response to the circulation of the draft Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment the City received seven submissions from the public stakeholders and agencies These comments are attached hereto as Appendix 2

Brampton Brick Ltd

A submission made by Davis Webb LLP on behalf of Brampton Brick requests the removal of references to specific Greenbelt Plan policies in Section 4514 The request is to amend the wording to include all applicable Greenbelt Plan policies rather than a partial list

Staff Response

The changes proposed to the wording of Policy 45141 as part of the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment are minor being the addition of Schedules 1 and E to the list of schedules that show the Greenbelt Area The reference to specific policies in the Greenbelt Plan is not one of the proposed changes in the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment the wording was part of the adopted 2006 Official Plan document

Staff notes that while Policy 45141 emphasizes four key policies in the Greenbelt Plan they are not intended to be exclusive all applicable Greenbelt Plan policies (including but not limited to the four emphasized policies) apply to the lands designated Provincial Greenbelt in the City of Brampton Official Plan Therefore staff is of the view that the policy as written addresses the concerns of Davis Webb LLP

Davis Webb LLP has been informed of the above and has advised that they will give further consideration to the need for further action

FZ-5 Osmington Inc

A submission made by Davies Howe Partners LLP on behalf of Osmington Inc proposes modifications to Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 and a modification to a policy to be revised through the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment This latter modification seeks clarification as to who would coordinate the environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

Staff Response

For the proposed modification relevant to the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment staff proposes a minor change to Section 45146 to add the words Cityshyled to indicate that the coordination of environmental studies for the North West

Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system will be undertaken by the City

For the proposed modifications to Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 staff and counsel for the City are working with Davies Howe Partners LLP to address Osmingtons issues A letter of response to Davies Howe Partners is included in Appendix 3 The results of these discussions will be part of a future staff report that brings forward modifications to Official Plan Amendment 2006-043

Next Steps

Upon receiving direction from Council staff will prepare the final Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment for adoption by Council Following Councils adoption of the amendment it will be forwarded to the Region of Peel for review and approval

Corporate Implications

Approval of the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment will move the Citys Official Plan closer to conformity with the Provincial Growth Plan If the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment is appealed to the OMB the City will seek to consolidate this amendment with the Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 appeals currently before the OMB

Conclusion

The Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment implements additional policy changes identified during the Citys Growth Plan conformity review The changes to a number of policies under appeal to the OMB at that time but that are now in force and effect form an integral part of the Citys comprehensive response to the Growth Plan

p-t

Upon authorization by Council the final Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment will be presented to Council for adoption and further processing for final approval

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Davies

Howe

Partners

LLP

f-32shy

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

Pi-3

Davies

Howe

Partners

Page 3

We understand that senior City staff is reviewing designating Station Road in a category that will result in it being development charge funded but that this has not yet been finalized Further our client has requested that Station Road be designated as a Minor Arterial or Collector Road and Secondary Transit Corridor as part of its official plan amendment If the status of Station Road is resolved before the completion of modifications to OPA 43 we request that the City initiate the modifications noted above via the Osmington application

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further clarification with respect to the above

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

further

Page 5: BRAMPTON p Report€¦ · Development Committee . Committee of the Council of . The Corporation of the City of Brampton . Date: ... final Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment,

FZ-5 Osmington Inc

A submission made by Davies Howe Partners LLP on behalf of Osmington Inc proposes modifications to Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 and a modification to a policy to be revised through the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment This latter modification seeks clarification as to who would coordinate the environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

Staff Response

For the proposed modification relevant to the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment staff proposes a minor change to Section 45146 to add the words Cityshyled to indicate that the coordination of environmental studies for the North West

Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system will be undertaken by the City

For the proposed modifications to Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 staff and counsel for the City are working with Davies Howe Partners LLP to address Osmingtons issues A letter of response to Davies Howe Partners is included in Appendix 3 The results of these discussions will be part of a future staff report that brings forward modifications to Official Plan Amendment 2006-043

Next Steps

Upon receiving direction from Council staff will prepare the final Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment for adoption by Council Following Councils adoption of the amendment it will be forwarded to the Region of Peel for review and approval

Corporate Implications

Approval of the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment will move the Citys Official Plan closer to conformity with the Provincial Growth Plan If the Additional Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment is appealed to the OMB the City will seek to consolidate this amendment with the Official Plan Amendment 2006-043 appeals currently before the OMB

Conclusion

Mr John Corbett

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

We understand that senior City staff is reviewing designating Station Road in a category that will result in it being development charge funded but that this has not yet been finalized Further our client has requested that Station Road be designated as a Minor Arterial or Collector Road and Secondary Transit Corridor as part of its official plan amendment If the status of Station Road is resolved before the completion of modifications to OPA 43 we request that the City initiate the modifications noted above via the Osmington application

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further clarification with respect to the above

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

further

From the material provided it is our understanding the proposed additional changes contained in the Staff Report were previously endorsed by Council - however being under appeal to the OMB were outside Councils jurisdiction at that time

In this regard the proposed changes of interest to CVC (primarily those policies contained in Section 45) had previouslybeen reviewed and revised to address CVC staffs comments back in May 2010 (email sent to Natalie Goss dated Mav 172010)

Recognizing this CVC staff continues to be generally satisfied our comments have been adequately addressed and I would appreciate your confirmation our understanding of this OPA is correct Upon confirmation Ican provide you with our final recommendation based on this initial review of the materials

Mr John Corbett

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Davies

Howe

LLP

f-32shy

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

Pi-3

Page 3

We understand that senior City staff is reviewing designating Station Road in a category that will result in it being development charge funded but that this has not yet been finalized Further our client has requested that Station Road be designated as a Minor Arterial or Collector Road and Secondary Transit Corridor as part of its official plan amendment If the status of Station Road is resolved before the completion of modifications to OPA 43 we request that the City initiate the modifications noted above via the Osmington application

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further clarification with respect to the above

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

further

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Davies

Howe

LLP

f-32shy

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

Pi-3

Davies

Howe

Page 3

We understand that senior City staff is reviewing designating Station Road in a category that will result in it being development charge funded but that this has not yet been finalized Further our client has requested that Station Road be designated as a Minor Arterial or Collector Road and Secondary Transit Corridor as part of its official plan amendment If the status of Station Road is resolved before the completion of modifications to OPA 43 we request that the City initiate the modifications noted above via the Osmington application

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further clarification with respect to the above

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

further

Mr John Corbett

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Davies

Howe

Partners

LLP

f-32shy

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

Pi-3

~^$

Davies

Howe

Partners

LLP

Page 3

We understand that senior City staff is reviewing designating Station Road in a category that will result in it being development charge funded but that this has not yet been finalized Further our client has requested that Station Road be designated as a Minor Arterial or Collector Road and Secondary Transit Corridor as part of its official plan amendment If the status of Station Road is resolved before the completion of modifications to OPA 43 we request that the City initiate the modifications noted above via the Osmington application

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further clarification with respect to the above

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

further

Thank you for providing the materials you had circulated (letter dated May 152012 and Brampton Staff Recommendation Report dated March 142012) regarding the above

From the material provided it is our understanding the proposed additional changes contained in the Staff Report were previously endorsed by Council - however being under appeal to the OMB were outside Councils jurisdiction at that time

In this regard the proposed changes of interest to CVC (primarily those policies contained in Section 45) had previouslybeen reviewed and revised to address CVC staffs comments back in May 2010 (email sent to Natalie Goss dated Mav 172010)

Recognizing this CVC staff continues to be generally satisfied our comments have been adequately addressed and I would appreciate your confirmation our understanding of this OPA is correct Upon confirmation Ican provide you with our final recommendation based on this initial review of the materials

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

Page 3

We understand that senior City staff is reviewing designating Station Road in a category that will result in it being development charge funded but that this has not yet been finalized Further our client has requested that Station Road be designated as a Minor Arterial or Collector Road and Secondary Transit Corridor as part of its official plan amendment If the status of Station Road is resolved before the completion of modifications to OPA 43 we request that the City initiate the modifications noted above via the Osmington application

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further clarification with respect to the above

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

further

Recognizing this CVC staff continues to be generally satisfied our comments have been adequately addressed and I would appreciate your confirmation our understanding of this OPA is correct Upon confirmation Ican provide you with our final recommendation based on this initial review of the materials

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Davies

Howe

LLP

f-32shy

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

Pi-3

Davies

Howe

Page 3

We understand that senior City staff is reviewing designating Station Road in a category that will result in it being development charge funded but that this has not yet been finalized Further our client has requested that Station Road be designated as a Minor Arterial or Collector Road and Secondary Transit Corridor as part of its official plan amendment If the status of Station Road is resolved before the completion of modifications to OPA 43 we request that the City initiate the modifications noted above via the Osmington application

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further clarification with respect to the above

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

further

Mr John Corbett

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Davies

Howe

Partners

LLP

f-32shy

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

Pi-3

Davies

Howe

Page 3

We understand that senior City staff is reviewing designating Station Road in a category that will result in it being development charge funded but that this has not yet been finalized Further our client has requested that Station Road be designated as a Minor Arterial or Collector Road and Secondary Transit Corridor as part of its official plan amendment If the status of Station Road is resolved before the completion of modifications to OPA 43 we request that the City initiate the modifications noted above via the Osmington application

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further clarification with respect to the above

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

further

Mr John Corbett

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Davies

Howe

Partners

LLP

f-32shy

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

Pi-3

Davies

Howe

Page 3

We understand that senior City staff is reviewing designating Station Road in a category that will result in it being development charge funded but that this has not yet been finalized Further our client has requested that Station Road be designated as a Minor Arterial or Collector Road and Secondary Transit Corridor as part of its official plan amendment If the status of Station Road is resolved before the completion of modifications to OPA 43 we request that the City initiate the modifications noted above via the Osmington application

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further clarification with respect to the above

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

further

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Davies

Howe

LLP

f-32shy

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

Pi-3

Davies

Page 3

We understand that senior City staff is reviewing designating Station Road in a category that will result in it being development charge funded but that this has not yet been finalized Further our client has requested that Station Road be designated as a Minor Arterial or Collector Road and Secondary Transit Corridor as part of its official plan amendment If the status of Station Road is resolved before the completion of modifications to OPA 43 we request that the City initiate the modifications noted above via the Osmington application

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further clarification with respect to the above

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

further

Mr John Corbett

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Davies

Howe

LLP

f-32shy

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

Pi-3

Davies

Howe

Page 3

We understand that senior City staff is reviewing designating Station Road in a category that will result in it being development charge funded but that this has not yet been finalized Further our client has requested that Station Road be designated as a Minor Arterial or Collector Road and Secondary Transit Corridor as part of its official plan amendment If the status of Station Road is resolved before the completion of modifications to OPA 43 we request that the City initiate the modifications noted above via the Osmington application

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further clarification with respect to the above

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

further

Mr John Corbett

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Davies

Howe

Partners

LLP

f-32shy

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

Pi-3

Davies

Howe

Partners

Page 3

We understand that senior City staff is reviewing designating Station Road in a category that will result in it being development charge funded but that this has not yet been finalized Further our client has requested that Station Road be designated as a Minor Arterial or Collector Road and Secondary Transit Corridor as part of its official plan amendment If the status of Station Road is resolved before the completion of modifications to OPA 43 we request that the City initiate the modifications noted above via the Osmington application

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further clarification with respect to the above

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

further

Thank you for providing the materials you had circulated (letter dated May 152012 and Brampton Staff Recommendation Report dated March 142012) regarding the above

From the material provided it is our understanding the proposed additional changes contained in the Staff Report were previously endorsed by Council - however being under appeal to the OMB were outside Councils jurisdiction at that time

In this regard the proposed changes of interest to CVC (primarily those policies contained in Section 45) had previouslybeen reviewed and revised to address CVC staffs comments back in May 2010 (email sent to Natalie Goss dated Mav 172010)

Recognizing this CVC staff continues to be generally satisfied our comments have been adequately addressed and I would appreciate your confirmation our understanding of this OPA is correct Upon confirmation Ican provide you with our final recommendation based on this initial review of the materials

Mr John Corbett

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Davies

Howe

Partners

LLP

f-32shy

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

Pi-3

~^$

Davies

Howe

Partners

LLP

Page 3

We understand that senior City staff is reviewing designating Station Road in a category that will result in it being development charge funded but that this has not yet been finalized Further our client has requested that Station Road be designated as a Minor Arterial or Collector Road and Secondary Transit Corridor as part of its official plan amendment If the status of Station Road is resolved before the completion of modifications to OPA 43 we request that the City initiate the modifications noted above via the Osmington application

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further clarification with respect to the above

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

further

Mr John Corbett

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

We understand that senior City staff is reviewing designating Station Road in a category that will result in it being development charge funded but that this has not yet been finalized Further our client has requested that Station Road be designated as a Minor Arterial or Collector Road and Secondary Transit Corridor as part of its official plan amendment If the status of Station Road is resolved before the completion of modifications to OPA 43 we request that the City initiate the modifications noted above via the Osmington application

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further clarification with respect to the above

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

further

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

From the material provided it is our understanding the proposed additional changes contained in the Staff Report were previously endorsed by Council - however being under appeal to the OMB were outside Councils jurisdiction at that time

In this regard the proposed changes of interest to CVC (primarily those policies contained in Section 45) had previouslybeen reviewed and revised to address CVC staffs comments back in May 2010 (email sent to Natalie Goss dated Mav 172010)

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Davies

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Mr John Corbett

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Davies

Howe

Partners

LLP

f-32shy

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

Pi-3

Davies

Howe

Partners

LLP

Page 3

We understand that senior City staff is reviewing designating Station Road in a category that will result in it being development charge funded but that this has not yet been finalized Further our client has requested that Station Road be designated as a Minor Arterial or Collector Road and Secondary Transit Corridor as part of its official plan amendment If the status of Station Road is resolved before the completion of modifications to OPA 43 we request that the City initiate the modifications noted above via the Osmington application

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further clarification with respect to the above

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

Mr John Corbett

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Davies

Howe

Partners

LLP

f-32shy

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

Mr John Corbett

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

We understand that senior City staff is reviewing designating Station Road in a category that will result in it being development charge funded but that this has not yet been finalized Further our client has requested that Station Road be designated as a Minor Arterial or Collector Road and Secondary Transit Corridor as part of its official plan amendment If the status of Station Road is resolved before the completion of modifications to OPA 43 we request that the City initiate the modifications noted above via the Osmington application

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further clarification with respect to the above

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

Mr John Corbett

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

We understand that senior City staff is reviewing designating Station Road in a category that will result in it being development charge funded but that this has not yet been finalized Further our client has requested that Station Road be designated as a Minor Arterial or Collector Road and Secondary Transit Corridor as part of its official plan amendment If the status of Station Road is resolved before the completion of modifications to OPA 43 we request that the City initiate the modifications noted above via the Osmington application

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further clarification with respect to the above

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

Mr John Corbett

Commissioner Planning Design amp Development City of Brampton 2 Wellington Street West Brampton Ontario L6Y4R2

Dear Mr Corbett

Re Proposed Modifications to the City of Brampton Official Plan Amendment No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

We are counsel to Osmington Inc (Osmington) Osmington owns approximately 92 acres of land at the northwest comer of Mississauga Road and Bovaird Drive in the City of Brampton (the Subject Lands)

As you know Osmington submitted applications to amend both the Region of Peel and City of Brampton (City) Official Plan and the City Zoning By-law to permit a Regional Retail Mixed Use Centre as well as additional complementary uses on the Subject Lands

We write with respect to our clients concerns and proposed modifications to OPA 43

OPA 43 Schedule 1

As part of its overall development conceptplan for Phase 2B for the Subject Lands Osmington is proposing medium and high density residential development of approximately 2000 units at a density greater than 50 units per net hectare and at a height of greater than four stories along the Bovaird Drive frontage of the property This component of the plan represents a contribution to the population target for Secondary Plan Areas 52 and 53 in a high density form and conforms to the provisions of the provincial Growth Plan

Howe

Page 2

Osmington requests that the City modify Schedule 1 to extend the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation along Bovaird Drive from east of Mississauga Road to the west of Mississauga Road to permit the higher density residential uses on the Subject Lands (see Attachment 1)

Elsewhere the City has carried out similar extensions to recognize that intensification nodes occur around major intersections eg Steeles AvenueMississauga Road Hurontario StreetSteeles Avenue and Steeles AvenueBramalea Road This proposed modification would also be consistent with the Primary Corridor designation on Schedule2

Policy 45146

Policy 45146 states that the City will require as appropriate the coordination and integration of environmental studies for the North West Brampton Urban Development Area and any proposals andor studies within the Greenbelt Plan area to identify and protect a connected natural heritage system

It is not clear who will be coordinating the studies Osmington recommends that the City be identified as the agency that coordinates the environmental studies therefore we are proposing a modification to policy 45146 that clearly sets this out

Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

Osmington also has concerns with the Natural Heritage System Policies in OPA 43 In particular Osmington objects to the designations of Open Space System on Schedule 1 and Open Space on Schedule A in the northwest area of the City Environmental studies are currently underway in these areas and it is premature to impose the Open Space designations prior to the completion of these studies Osmington further disagrees with the inclusion ofprotected features on the Subject Lands Osmington requests that Schedules 1 and A of OPA 43 be modified to show the lands which are currently under study as a Study Area only

Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

Given that Station Road will be a key link in the transportation system in the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan Area and that the Environmental Assessment for Station Road is being planned it should be designated on Schedule B as either a Collector or Minor Arterial Road on Schedule Bl with the appropriate right-of-way width and on Schedule C as a Secondary Transit Corridor

Dear Mr Davies

Re Proposed Modifications to City of Brampton OPA No 2006-043 (OPA 43) Osmington Inc

Thank you for your letter of June 20 2012 regarding the above matter As counsel for the City on appeals respecting OPA 43 and related matters before the Ontario Municipal Board your letter has been forwarded to me for reply

I have now had an opportunity to review and discuss your letter with City Staff Using the same format as your letter I would reply as follows

1 OPA 43 Schedule 1

City Staff are prepared to support in principle the requested modification to Schedule 1 by extending the current Primary Intensification Corridor designation westerly from Mississauga Road so as to incorporate the frontage of the Osmington lands In Staffs view this can be accommodated in a manner which is consistent with the Citys higher-order transit and intensification objectives However it may have to be accompanied by appropriate policy language within the text of OPA 43 to address the relationship between the proposed schedule modification and future transit facilities and ensure the proper fit We will be forwarding proposed modifications which include this item in due course

2 Policy 45146

Policy 45146 was not modified as part of the OPA 43 amendments to the 2006 Brampton Official Plan Rather the amendment to which you refer is being considered as part of the 2nd Growth Plan Conformity OPA proposed by the City for which the statutory public meeting took

place in June 2012 and which is tentatively targeted to go before City Council for consideration and adoption on October 24 2012 Staff appreciate your concern and propose to resolve it by adding the words City-led prior to coordination in the first line of the draft policy

3 Schedules 1 and A - Natural Heritage System Policies

The designations and mapping of Open Space and Open Space System shown on Schedules 1 and A respectively are consistent with the designations and mapping shown in the 2006 Brampton Official Plan OPA 43 does not affect them in any way The relevant designations and mapping in the 2006 OP are currently under appeal before the Board by the North West Brampton Landowners Group and your client is a party to that appeal Accordingly once the ongoing environmental review process in these areas has been completed the appropriate modifications to the designations and mapping will be duly considered in that

context We appreciate the concern about prematurity however in our view it would be even more premature to modify the base mapping or designations on an interim basis pending completion of the environmental review process

4 Transportation Related Schedules and Station Road

There is no issue that Station Road is identified as a key component of the transportation infrastructure required for Heritage Heights However as you have noted there is a pending EA process to which Station Road is subject and as also noted Staff have not yet finalized any recommendations regarding the specific category in which Station Road would be designated Accordingly the same concerns about prematurity respecting changes to matters in item 3 above would equally apply here We would also point out that the Notes on Schedules B B1 and C all stipulate that the alignments depicted are subject to a future EA or approval process in any event

I hope this is of assistance Please contact me at your convenience if you would like to discuss
