AMENDMENT NO. TO THE
VAUGHAN OFFICIAL PLAN 2010 OF THE
VAUGHAN PLANNING AREA
The following text and Schedules “1”, “2” and “3” constitute Amendment Number xx to the Official Plan of the Vaughan Planning Area
Also attached hereto but not constituting part of the Amendment is Appendix “1”
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Amendment to the Official Plan is to amend the provisions of the Official Plan 2010 (VOP 2010) as partially approved by the Ontario Municipal Board, specifically, Volume 1 Section 9.2 Land Use Designations and Permitted Building Types to redesignate the Subject Lands from “Community Commercial Mixed Use” to “High-Rise Mixed-Use” and “Parks”.
This Amendment will facilitate the following with respect to the Subject Lands identified as “Area Subject to Amendment No. xx” on Schedule “1” attached hereto:
- Permit a High-Rise Mixed-Use development comprised of (2) two mixed-use buildings with building heights of 27- and 22-storeys, and two blocks of townhouse dwellings with building heights of 3-storeys, with a density of 5.29 times the area of the lot.
II. LOCATION
The Lands subject to this Amendment (hereinafter referred to as the “Subject Lands”) are located on the north-west corner of Dufferin Street and Centre Street and are known municipally as 7818 Dufferin Street, being part of Lots 22, 25, 26, 27 and 28, Registrar’s Compiled Plan 10309, the City of Vaughan as shown on Schedule “1” , “ 2” and “3” attached hereto as “Area Subject to Amendment No. ”.
III. BASIS
The decision to amend the City of Vaughan Official Plan 2010 (VOP 2010) is based on the following considerations:
- This Amendment is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) as it proposes intensification of land uses in an urban area serviced by a higher-order rapid transit corridor. The PPS promotes efficient, cost-effective development and land-use patterns that are based on densities which:
i. Efficiently use land, resources, infrastructure, and public service facilities;
ii. Are appropriate for, and efficiently use, the infrastructure and public service
facilities which are planned or available, and avoid the need for their unjustified and/or uneconomical expansion; and,
iii. Are transit-supportive, where transit is planned, exists, or may be developed.
The PPS promotes an appropriate range and mix of housing types and densities required to meet the projected requirements of current and future residents, by maintaining residential growth for a minimum of 10 years through residential redevelopment and intensification.
The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement 2020 and promotes its goals and objectives.
As directed by A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2019, intensification is to be implemented by way of municipal Official Plans. The Growth Plan’s growth management strategy directs upper and local municipalities to determine where and how to accommodate growth and intensification. A major focus of intensification is to be directed to areas within walking distance of higher-order transit, known as Major Transit Station Areas, in which the Subject Property is located in. The proposed development is consistent with the Region and City’s intensification strategy required by the Growth Plan as the lands are located on a Regional Intensification Corridor (Centre Street), which is identified as Intensification Areas in the VOP 2010. The proposed development conforms to the Growth Plan by directing growth and a range of uses within the built-up area, along an Intensification Corridor and by promoting transit-supportive densities that support the viability of the existing transit network and the City’s intensification policies.
The York Region Official Plan 2022 (YROP) identifies the subject property, as being located within an “Urban Area” adjacent to a “Regional Corridor”. Urban Areas “will accommodate a significant portion of the planned growth in the Region” and Regional Corridors “are planned to function as urban main streets that have a compact, mixed-use, well-designed, pedestrian-friendly and transit-oriented built form” The proposed development conforms with the YROP policies in that it provides an appropriate form of intensification within the built-up urban area of York Region, serviced by higher-order transit.
The Vaughan Official Plan designates the Subject Lands as Community Commercial Mixed Use. The Community Commercial Mixed-Use designation does not permit high-rise buildings, townhouses and residential uses, thus requiring an Official Plan Amendment to permit the proposed uses. Schedule 1 of the VOP identifies the Subject Lands as being located on a “Regional Intensification Corridor”, where Provincial and Regional policies encourage intensification and provide compact development with densities that support the viability of the transit network while providing for a mix of housing types. As such the approval of this Amendment is appropriate.
The statutory Public Meeting was held on June 14, 2021. The recommendation of the Committee of the Whole to receive the Public Meeting report of June 14, 2021, and to forward a comprehensive report to a future Committee of the Whole meeting, was ratified by Vaughan Council on June 22, 2021. Subsequently, on February 22, 2023, Vaughan Council adopted, with an amendment, the Committee of the Whole recommendation, to advise the Ontario Land Tribunal that Vaughan Council endorses the recommendation to approve the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment Files OP.21.004 and Z.21.006 (7818 Dufferin Inc.).
An Ontario Land Tribunal Settlement Hearing was held on January XX, 2024.
