MEMORANDUM OF ORAL DECISION DELIVERED BY T.F. NG ON AUGUST 31, 2022 AND ORDER OF THE TRIBUNAL
INTRODUCTION
1The parties have reached a settlement in the matter of appeals by Huntingwood Trails (Collingwood) Ltd. (“Applicant/Appellant”) from the refusal or neglect of the Town of Collingwood (the “Town”) for the Zoning By-law Amendment application (“ZBA”) to amend Zoning By-law No. 2010-40 (as amended) and the application for Draft Plan of Subdivision (“DPS”) in respect of lands described as parts of lots 48 and 49, Concession 12, Town of Collingwood (the “subject lands/subject property”).
2The effect of the proposed ZBA is to implement the development of 86 single detached residential lots; 14 semi-detached residential lots; 1 lot for future development; 1 block for environmental protection purposes; 1 block for storm water management and 2 blocks for open spaces and, provision of public road allowances. The appeals relate only to Area 1 lands as the Applicant had withdrawn appeals for Area 2 lands, through a settlement with the Town on July 21, 2021.
3There was a previous Official Plan Amendment by the Applicant which the Ontario Municipal Board (“OMB”) approved on July 31, 2014 (“2014 OPA”) when the parties settled (PL120784).
4On July 30, 2019, the Applicant submitted a revised ZBA and DPS and appealed the Town’s non-decision on September 24, 2019.
5On April 12, 2022, the Applicant settled the instant appeals with the County of Simcoe (“County”).
6On August 4, 2022, the Applicant settled with the Town.
7Shortly before the hearing, the Applicant settled with the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (“NVCA”).
8The parties jointly requested the appeals be allowed, the further revised ZBA be approved and the final revised DPS be approved with conditions.
SITE
9The Area 1 Lands are irregular in shape and have an area of approximately 20.295 hectares (“ha”) (50.150 acres). The Area 1 Lands are currently vacant, partially covered with vegetation, and are currently used for agricultural purposes in the form of cattle grazing.
10The Area 1 Lands are located in the northwest area of the Settlement Area of Collingwood.
11Surrounding land uses associated with the Area 1 lands include:
North – Residential uses in the form of single detached dwellings, Silver Creek Drive and Provincial Highway 26. Beyond is the Silver Creek Wetland Complex and the Draft Plan Approved Consulate Subdivision.
South – Georgian Trail with vacant Environmental Protection lands beyond.
East – Vacant land including a series of environmental features and residential designated land within the Area 2 Lands. Beyond is the Silver Glen Preserve Condominium townhouse development and the Cranberry/Tanglewood developments inclusive of a variety of residential unit types and a golf course.
West – Residential land uses in the form of single detached dwellings within an area known as the Forest Subdivision.
12Silver Creek runs through Area 1 lands and continues northward to Georgian Bay.
13The proposed draft plan of subdivision (“Final Proposed 2021 DPS”) (Exhibit 1, Tab 16) proposes the development of a total of one hundred (100) residential units on 20.295 ha (50.150 acres) of land located south of Highway 26, with direct access, as provided for in the 2014 OPA, from Silver Creek Drive all within the Area 1 Lands. The Final Proposed 2021 DPS provides for eighty-six (86) single detached units, fourteen (14) semi-detached units, and a future development block. Also included is a block for stormwater management, two open space blocks and an environmental protection block associated with Silver Creek which is to be dedicated to the Town in accordance with the 2014 OPA. Draft Plan conditions of August 2022 are in Exhibit 1 Tab 17.
14The proposed ZBA (“Final Revised Proposed 2022 Revised ZBA”) (Exhibit 1 Tab 15) is an application for an amendment to the Town Zoning By-law, to implement and regulate the use of land associated with the Final Proposed 2021 DPS by rezoning the subject lands from Residential First Density Exception Twelve – R1-12 Zone, (Holding 1) Rural Exception Three – (H1)RU-3, Rural - RU, and Environmental Protection - EP Zones to Residential Third Density Exception AA – R3 - AA, Residential Third Density Exception BB – R3 – BB, Residential Third Density Exception CC –R3 – CC, and Environmental Protection - EP Zones.
15The Final Revised Proposed 2022 ZBA and Final Proposed 2021 DPS implement the Town OP as amended by the 2014 OPA approved by the OMB in 2014.
Planning Evidence
16Mark Yarranton was qualified by the Tribunal to give expert opinion evidence in land use planning matters in support of the proposed ZBA and DPS. He is an experienced Professional Planner, a Member of the Canadian Institute of Planners and of the Ontario Professional Planners Institute.
17Mr. Yarranton provided a comprehensive overview and analysis of the policy and regulatory framework and concluded that the proposed development is appropriate for the efficient use of the Area 1 lands, represents good land use planning which would advance the provincial and public interest.
18The subject lands are within an existing settlement area boundary and the development is directed away from hazardous lands. (s. 3.1.1 (b) of Provincial Policy Statement 2020 (“PPS”).
19Through the approval of the 2014 OPA, two development areas were established where residential development could occur, and the appropriate limits were assessed for development, designated for residential purposes and hazard lands included as part of the land designated as Environmental Protection, with the consent of the County, Town and NVCA. This is supported by the 2014 OPA which addressed matters of natural hazards in particular s.4.3.4.4.5.8 (d) of the OPA. Vehicular access may be established through lands designated Environmental Protection. (s.4.1.3.1 of the Town Official Plan (“TOP”)).
20The Guiding Principles in s.1.2.1 of the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe 2019 (2020 Consolidation) (“GP”) include the support of achievement of complete communities that are designed to support healthy and active living and meet peoples’ needs throughout an entire lifetime; prioritize intensification and higher densities in strategic growth areas to make efficient use of land and infrastructure; and support a range and mix of housing options and additional residential units. The vast majority of growth will be directed to settlement areas that have a delineated built boundary, have existing or planned municipal water and wastewater systems and can support the achievement of complete communities. (s. 2.2.1.2(a) of GP).
21The County of Simcoe Official Plan (“COP”) designates Area 1 lands as Settlements. Section 4.5.9 directs that development shall generally be outside hazardous lands adjacent to river, stream and small inland lake systems which are impacted by flooding hazards and/or erosion hazards. The proposal conforms to this policy directive.
22The Area 1 lands are designated “Residential” and “Environmental Protection” pursuant to the 2014 OPA as identified on Schedule “A-2” and further designated “Low Density” on Schedule “C”, Residential Density. The policy framework of the 2014 OPA has been consolidated in the TOP. Similarly, the proposal conforms to s. 4.1.3.10.2.1 of the TOP which prohibits habitable buildings and structures within the defined floodplains of the creeks and the river.
23The proposed DPS coordinates with the 2014 OPA, will result in, and contributes to the Province’s vision of a compact, well planned and designed built environment by providing greater housing choices to people’s needs at all stages of life.
24The proposed DPS is designed specifically to add housing density in an efficient manner, while protecting significant environmental assets. It supports the creation of a complete community, offers access to housing in proximity to employment and municipal services.
25Mr. Yarranton concluded that the final proposed 2021 DPS (subject to the proposed conditions prepared with the Town) and the final revised 2022 ZBA facilitates a development that has regard for the matters of Provincial interest set out in s. 2 of the Planning Act (“the Act”), meets the requirements of s. 51(24) and s. 51(25) of the Act, is consistent with the PPS, conforms to the GP, the COP and the TOP as amended by the 2014 OPA.
26The development proposal envisages the orderly development of a safe and healthy community in a location that is appropriate for residential development and growth. The proposed development is well designed, encourages a sense of place and provides for open spaces that are accessible.
27The GP directs growth to settlement areas to support the achievement of complete communities and achievement of minimum intensification targets by encouraging intensification within the settlement area. The proposal will assist the Town in achieving these objectives.
28The proposed plan includes single detached and semi-detached dwellings within an area with municipal services and infrastructure.
29The addition of this subdivision to the Town’s built form will assist the Town and the County to meet intensification goals in a responsible and appropriate manner. The environmental protection zone block respects and supports the County’s policy in pursuing environmentally responsible development. The proposed ZBA to implement the development proposal conforms to the policies of the COP and TOP by optimizing use of the land, creating more housing, utilizing existing municipal services infrastructure and preserving the natural environment.
Findings
30The Tribunal accepts the sole uncontested opinion and planning evidence of Mr. Yarranton in support of the ZBA and DPS to facilitate the proposed residential development of 100 residential dwellings on the subject property.
31The Tribunal is satisfied that the proposed ZBA and DPS facilitate orderly residential development on lands within an area that accommodates the single detached and semi-detached dwellings housing type and form. The proposal makes efficient use of the subject lands, taps into existing and available municipal services infrastructure, while ensuring that there is an environmental protection area/zone on the subject property. The proposed development will facilitate a healthy, safe and complete community in accordance with the provincial policies and directives.
32The Tribunal finds that the proposed development is consistent with the Province’s land use planning policy directives. The proposed development has regard for matters of provincial interests in particular s. 2(h) the orderly development of safe and healthy communities and s. 2(p) the appropriate location of growth and development. The proposal as implemented by the ZBA and DPS represents good land use planning and is in the public interest.
33The proposed development is consistent with the PPS, conforms to the GP, the COP and the TOP as amended by the 2014 OPA. The Tribunal is satisfied that the relevant s. 51(24) criteria of the Act are met. Further, the draft plan conditions satisfy s. 51(25) of the Act, being reasonable and appropriately site specific.
ORDER
34The Tribunal orders that the appeals are allowed.
Zoning By-law No. 2010-40 (as amended), is amended in the manner set out in Attachment 1 to this order. The Tribunal authorizes the municipal clerk to assign a number to this by-law for record keeping purposes.
The Draft Plan shown on the plan (Exhibit-1 Tab 16) prepared by KLM Partners Inc. dated June 14, 2021 comprising parts of lots 48 and 49, Concession 12, Town of Collingwood (Attachment 2) is approved subject to the fulfillment of the conditions set out in Attachment 3 to this Order AND the Tribunal orders that pursuant to subsection 51(56.1) of the Planning Act, the Town of Collingwood shall have the authority to clear the conditions of draft plan approval and to administer final approval of the plan of subdivision for the purposes of subsection 51(58) of the Act. In the event that there are any difficulties implementing any of the conditions of draft plan approval, or if any changes are required to be made to the draft plan, the Tribunal may be spoken to.
