- The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of Provincial interest related to land use planning and development and sets the policy foundation for regulating the development and use of land. The PPS includes policies that direct new growth to urban areas and promotes an appropriate range and mix of housing types and densities to meet projected requirements of current and future residents, which contribute to the creation of strong and safe communities, healthy environments and long term economic growth.
The development of the Subject Lands for a mid-rise mixed-use apartment building will facilitate the development of the subject lands to meet the intent of the PPS with respect to efficient use of land and infrastructure, and providing a range of housing types on lands that are environmentally safe and will not compromise public safety.
The Provincial A Place to Grow Plan (Growth plan) sets out framework to provide overall leadership and guidance to municipalities as they plan for growth in their communities. The plan sets out policy on a wide range of issues, managing growth, general intensification infrastructure planning, among other policies. The Growth Plan states that intensification makes more efficient use of land by accommodating growth within existing urban areas. The proposed development consisting of a mid-rise, mixed-use building form conforms to the Provincial Growth Plan as it proposes development in an existing built-up urban area.
The York Region Official Plan (YROP) designates the Subject lands as “Urban Area”, which permits a wide range of residential, industrial and institutional uses. The objective of the YROP include targeting growth to existing built up portions of urban areas encouraging carefully planned intensification, and providing for a broad range of housing types. The proposed development is consistent with the policies of the York Region Official Plan.
