3 4.1-1 Emerging Provincial Planning Policy and Legislation Changes Arvin Prasad Integrated Planning Division June 16,

4 4.1-2 Outline of Presentation Summary of Review Process Coordinated Plans Review Themes Proposed Changes Potential Implications Bill 204: Promoting Affordable Housing Act Proposed Legislative Changes Inclusionary Zoning 2

5 4.1-3 Summary of Review Process Initial Analysis of Implications for Peel. Identification of proposed changes and potential implications. Detailed review and assessment underway. Comprehensive Reports to Regional Council. 3

6 4.1-4 Coordinated Plans Review Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2006) Niagara Escarpment Plan (1985) (Revised in 1994 and 2005) Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (2002) Greenbelt Plan (2005) The province launched the coordinated review of these plans in February Sought input on how to make the plans stronger and work better together. 4

7 4.1-5 Common Themes Building Complete Communities Integrating Infrastructure Supporting Agriculture Protecting Natural Heritage and Water Growing the Greenbelt Addressing Climate Change 5

8 4.1-6 Growth Management Building Complete Communities Proposed Provide more guidance on achieving complete communities and require municipalities to plan for sustainable and livable communities. The province to establish a transparent and consistent way for municipalities to calculate the amount of land needed to accommodate growth. Potential Implications Reinforces the Region s approach to the planning of new communities. A standard methodology may streamline the preparation of future lands budgets and reduce potential disputes. 6

9 4.1-7 Growth Management Building Complete Communities Proposed Increase intensification target from 40% to 60% of all new residential growth annually to be directed to the existing built-up area. Requiring zoning along transit corridors to provide adequate density to support transit. New defined term strategic growth areas, - would replace the term intensification areas thereby focusing growth within specific locations of the built-up area. Potential Implications Reinforces Peel s approach to allocation of growth and provision of infrastructure key Regional role in developing and distributing the Regional forecasts. Supports directing intensification towards those areas where significant infrastructure investments, including transit, is occurring as opposed to all communities within Brampton and Mississauga. 7

10 4.1-8 Growth Management Building Complete Communities Proposed Protection of employment lands including designation of prime employment areas. Increasing density targets for designated greenfield areas in municipalities from 50 to 80 people and jobs per hectare but excluding additional features such as floodplains, rights-of-way and prime employment areas. Potential Implications The Region may be required to designate prime employment areas in its Official Plan. Opportunity to consider implications of the draft policy in the Growth Scenarios being evaluated through new approach in collaboration with local municipalities. 80 people & jobs/ha may vary from community or market expectations around housing form in new greenfield communities. 8

11 4.1-9 Growth Management Building Complete Communities Proposed Strengthened direction on providing a mix and range of housing types including secondary suites and affordable housing. New housing section added requiring upper-tier municipalities to develop a housing strategy that includes alignment to housing and homelessness plan, identifies policies for the official plan (including affordable housing targets) and plan for diverse range of housing types and densities. Potential Implications Reinforces Peel s approach to continue implementing the Peel Housing and Homelessness Plan to ensure the building of complete communities. Regional staff will be review the Regional Housing Strategy as per Provincial direction. 9

12 Growth Management Building Complete Communities Proposed Added definition and policy section for Public Service Facilities including facilitating and planning for such facilities, with land use planning and investment. Direction to co-locate and integrate public service facilities and public services to become community hubs. Priority is given to maintaining and adapting existing facilities into community hubs that are located in the vicinity of strategic growth areas and transportation. Potential Implications The Region is in the process of identifying our local leadership role in the planning for community hubs. Provincial direction does not address funding, administrative, regulatory and logistical challenges with community hubs. 10

13 Growth Management Integrating Infrastructure Proposed Requiring zoning along transit corridors to provide adequate density to support transit. New criteria for assessing feasibility of settlement area boundary expansion and determining the most appropriate location, including the financial viability over the life cycle of the infrastructure and public service facilities that would be needed to service growth. Potential Implications Supports transit investments and the Region s Growth Management Program. 11

14 Proposed Growth Management Integrating Infrastructure More specific direction to municipalities to better protect corridor lands reserved for future goods movement (rail or road) and other future infrastructure, such as hydro lines. New subsection on infrastructure corridors would encourage the colocation of linear infrastructure and would ensure that planned corridors would be protected in accordance with the PPS, Potential Implications Reinforces the strong Regional role to protect lands for or designate the transportation and infrastructure corridors such as the GTA West corridor. 12

15 Proposed Growth Management Integrating Infrastructure Establish specific minimum density targets for major transit station areas, as delineated by municipalities, which would be scaled to reflect type of transit (e.g., subways, light rail). Direct that existing office parks should be planned to improve transit connectivity, provide for an appropriate mix of amenities, and encourage intensification of employment uses. Potential Implications Reinforces Regional and local municipalities planning for transit and integration with land use plans. Does not address funding and logistical issues associated with the delivery of transit. 13

16 Supporting Agriculture Proposed Identifying an agricultural system for the GGH. Designating prime agricultural areas in accordance with Provincial mapping. Clarifying uses permitted in prime agricultural areas. Minimizing impacts and requiring agricultural impact assessments (AIA). Potential Implications Changes are generally consistent with Regional recommendations to support farming and harmonize permitted uses. Further review and refinement of recommended prime agricultural areas in the Peel-Caledon LEAR Study may be required to implement Provincial mapping. Greater consideration of impacts to agriculture in development and infrastructure decisions through AIAs. 14

17 Protecting Natural Heritage and Water Proposed Require watershed planning across the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH). Require municipalities to identify a Natural Heritage System (NHS) across the GGH in accordance with Provincial mapping. Harmonized policies within the Greenbelt Plan. Potential Implications Updates to watershed plans will need to be undertaken in accordance with Provincial guidance. Identification of an NHS will require conformity by municipalities including potential addition of an NHS outside the Greenbelt in Peel. Aligned with our work plan and consistent with OP Review. 15

18 Growing the Greenbelt Proposed Province to lead process to identify potential areas to be added to the Protected Countryside. New Urban River Valley (URV) designations - applies to Etobicoke Creek, Credit River and Humber River. Potential Implications Information on the extent, location and process to Grow the Greenbelt has not been provided. URV designations have limited implications in Peel as existing policies currently protect Core Valleylands. Supports City of Mississauga s initiative to designate URV in Credit River Valley. 16

19 Climate Change Proposed Incorporating climate change policies in municipal official plans. Encouraging municipalities to develop greenhouse gas inventories. Municipalities to undertake more comprehensive stormwater management planning. Encouraging the use of Green Infrastructure and requiring use of low-impact techniques. Potential Implications Proposed changes are consistent with current thinking within the Region and identified in several actions within the Peel Climate Change Strategy. The Region and local municipalities have implemented low-impact development where feasible. 17

20 Mineral Aggregate Resources Proposed Greater recognition of aggregate resources and the need to protect the resource for extraction. Greater emphasis on comprehensive rehabilitation planning, conservation, recycling and reuse of aggregates. Extending Greenbelt-level protection for natural heritage to aggregates extraction in natural heritage system outside the Greenbelt. Potential Implications Supports the comprehensive rehabilitation approach of the Region and Town of Caledon. 18

21 Excess Soil Proposed Encourage municipalities to develop excess soil re-use strategies and sustainably manage excess soil through planning approvals. Potential Implications Regional Official Plan will need to provide guiding policies on excess soil and fill. Broader legislative changes in MOECC s proposed Excess Soil Management Policy Framework will complement Provincial Plan policies and require greater regulation of generating and receiving sites (e.g. Excess Soil Management Plans and Fill Management Plans). Better management, conservation and re-use of excess soil. 19

22 Bill 204: Promoting Affordable Housing Act 20

23 Proposed Legislative Changes Ontario Planning Act, 1990 Development Charges Act, 1997 Housing Services Act, 2011 Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 The Province released the Long-term Affordable Housing Strategy (LTAHS) in November The Province released the LTHAS Update in March 2016, which signaled regulation change would be forthcoming. 21

24 Proposed Legislative Changes Ontario Planning Act, 1990 Inclusionary Zoning. Development Charges Act, 1997 no DC charges for new secondary suites. Housing Services Act, 2011 homelessness enumeration. Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 prevents unnecessary evictions. 22

25 Proposed Inclusionary Zoning Enables municipalities to require inclusionary zoning. Where Official Plans and Zoning By-laws authorize inclusionary zoning: Must address measures and incentives; Are not permitted to be appealed to OMB; Municipalities cannot accept cash-in-lieu; Developers cannot provide affordable housing units on another site; Agreements must ensure affordability over time (enforced against subsequent owners). 23

26 Potential Implications Inclusionary Zoning Inclusionary Zoning is a planning tool that can be used towards securing affordable housing. Reflects municipal requests for Provincial support for affordable housing. Inclusionary zoning Provincial framework is complex and requires collaboration and coordination with local municipal partners. Important to ensure flexibility in implementation including advocating for cash in lieu of affordable housing units. Inclusionary zoning is only one tool to meet the housing needs of the Region s population. 24

27 Bill 204 Next Steps The Peel 2041 ROP Review Housing Focus Area will incorporate inclusionary zoning as an opportunity. Regional staff is undertaking inclusionary zoning best practices research. Inter-Municipal collaboration is underway building on existing forums including representation from Planning, Human Services and local municipal staff. 25
