Report No. 6 of the Planning and Economic Development Committee Regional Council Meeting of June 23, 2011 3. BACKGROUND Langstaff Gateway Secondary Plan forms the southern portion of the Richmond Hill/Langstaff Gateway Regional and Urban Growth Centre and provides a Community Structure dependant on transit The Langstaff Gateway Secondary Plan Area, in the Town of Markham, forms the southern portion of the Richmond Hill/Langstaff Gateway Regional and Urban Growth Centre (UGC) in the Yonge Street and Highway 7 area, as shown in the following map. The UGC is focal point where 5 major transportation modes are planned to intersect (Viva rapid transit, GO Rail, Highway 407, future Yonge Street Subway extension, and the future 407 Transitway). This context and the planning policies of the Langstaff Plan provide for a vibrant, high density, transit- dependant, mixed use urban centre for living, working, shopping, entertainment, cultural identity and human services supporting the broader UGC. The community structure of the Langstaff Plan adopted by Markham Council provides for a particular focus on transit as shown on the map in Attachment 2. The Secondary Plan contemplates and allows for a variety of densities in keeping with the higher order densities set out in both the Regional Official Plan and the Provincial Urban Growth Centre Policies in a sustainable form connected to a central green spine that links existing open spaces (Pomona Mills Creek and the Langstaff Woodlot), transit, retail, employment, civic and residential uses. Langstaff Gateway is intended to be a complete, integrated, and transit dependant community with a mix of land uses, including: commercial, cultural, institutional, office, open space, recreational, residential and retail, designed to make the development most accessible to transit, pedestrian and other non-auto modes of transportation. Markham initiated studies for Langstaff in 2008 The process that led to the Langstaff Gateway Secondary Plan began in May of 2008, when the Town retained Calthorpe Associates (lead) and Ferris + Associates (landscape architecture & urban design) to create a new Master Plan for the Langstaff area. IBI was retained by the Town to provide professional advice regarding transportation, and the MMM Group was retained by landowners to provide input regarding servicing. Report No. 6 of the Planning and Economic Development Committee Regional Council Meeting of June 23, 2011 The Calthorpe/Ferris Langstaff Land Use & Built Form Master Plan, dated October 2009 was received by Markham’s Development Services Committee and endorsed as the basis for amendments to the Town’s Official Plan and a new Secondary Plan for the Langstaff area of Thornhill by Development Services Committee and Council in December 2009. An extensive series of workshops, open houses and consultation sessions with the public, agencies and developers was an integral part of Markham’s process over the 2 year period prior to adoption of the Secondary Plan by Markham Council. Markham adopted OPA 183 and 184 in June 2010 The Official Plan amendments that create the new Langstaff Gateway Planning District and the new Secondary Plan to implement the vision of the Langstaff Land Use & Built Form Master Plan which was adopted by Town of Markham Council on June 8, 2010. Official Plan Amendment 184 is the technical amendment that removes the Langstaff Gateway area from the existing Thornhill Planning District in the Markham Official Plan. Official Plan Amendment 183 provides the detailed Official Plan and new Secondary Plan policies for the new Langstaff Gateway Secondary Plan area. Markham is a partner with Richmond Hill, Vaughan and the Region in the Urban Growth Centre Process Since April of 2009, York Region has led a process examining opportunities to create a cohesive and integrated Urban Growth Centre with staff from Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan and public agencies. Four teams were brought together, from affected municipalities and agencies, of specialized staff to examine specific planning and implementation issues related to the development of the Urban Growth Centre. The focus areas of the four teams were: • Physical Infrastructure • Planning and Design • Community Facilities and Services • Financial Tools and Models A number of Urban Growth Centre-wide studies were commissioned as a result of the work done by the teams which are outlined in the concurrent report to Planning and Economic Development Committee regarding the Summary of Region-Led Studies and Regional Official Plan Amendment (ROPA) 4. The studies provided the basis to modify the proposed Secondary Plan by recommending specific transportation, servicing, and human service provisions. These provisions will be included as requirements for each phase of development. Report No. 6 of the Planning and Economic Development Committee Regional Council Meeting of June 23, 2011 ROPA 4 will ensure future co-ordination of UGC as a whole A Regional Official Plan Amendment will ensure that co-ordination, phasing and connectivity of the Langstaff Gateway area with the Richmond Hill Centre area, to the north, occurs over the long term for the Urban Growth Centre as a whole. The ROPA provides complementary policies that strengthen the ROP (2010) policies in terms of the coordinated function of this Centre as a single Urban Growth Centre in two separate local municipalities. A final ROPA 4 is planned to be brought forward for consideration by Council in September 2011. It is intended to provide a strong level of support and clarity in planning implementation at the local municipal level through the Secondary Plans. The key components of the proposed ROPA 4 are included in the Langstaff Gateway Secondary Plan, as modified, with policies that ensure Regional interests are addressed. 4. ANALYSIS AND OPTIONS CONFORMITY WITH PROVINCIAL AND REGIONAL POLICIES The Langstaff Gateway Secondary Plan, as modified, is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2005) The Langstaff Gateway Secondary Plan is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). The Plan is a progressive document with policies that reflect the intent and major policy directions of the PPS. The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development. The PPS provides for appropriate development while protecting resources of provincial interest, public health and safety and the quality of the natural environment. According to the Planning Act, decisions affecting planning matters “shall be consistent with” policy statements issued under the Act. Given the urban setting and role of the Langstaff Gateway Secondary Plan area, the most germane policies of the PPS are found within the “building strong communities” policies. The Secondary Plan provides for intensification lands to accommodate a mix of employment and residential land uses meeting and exceeding minimum intensification targets set out in the Provincial Growth Plan. The Plan sets out affordable housing percentage targets and promotes social housing as a community benefit. The Plan also has strong urban design guidelines to ensure public spaces, parks and opens spaces are well designed, and contribute to strong, vibrant Report No. 6 of the Planning and Economic Development Committee Regional Council Meeting of June 23, 2011 walkable streets that are framed by human-scaled built forms and attractive people places. Sustainable development policies are a core element of the Langstaff Plan. These policies exceed Provincial requirements and provide for a high degree of energy and water conservation, green development standards, as well as provisions for district heating and cooling facilities. The coordination, promoted by the PPS through an integrated comprehensive

  • Affordability, Transit, and Housing: a Case Study of Vivanext on Yonge Street in Richmond
    Affordability, Transit, and Housing: A case study of Vivanext on Yonge Street in Richmond Hill and Newmarket by Goretti Maria Mpaka supervised by Dr. Jennifer Foster A Major Paper submitted to the Faculty of Environmental Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Environmental Studies York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Date November 30, 2016 1 Abstract The GTA has experienced population growth in the past decade, and the majority of this growth is attributed to immigration. As municipalities push for more sustainable ways to travel, it is crucial that it is done in a just and equitable manner that caters to the diversity in cities. This includes cost effective means of travel for children, the elderly, families, low income communities, people with disabilities, and also the working population. There are many overlaps in these groups and they should not be considered as separate groups, for instance a working woman may have low income or high income. To fully harness the benefits of transit systems, walkable, compact and mixed use developments in proximity to transit stations have been suggested in the form of Transit-oriented Development (TOD). Transit and housing are big indicators of affordable neighborhoods. TOD has added to the equation of affordability in YR because of the low numbers of affordable housing along major transit corridors and Stations. York Region is becoming highly unaffordable, especially for low and moderate income earner. Policy solutions should not only cater for low income families but also alleviate the challenges of moderate income earners who spend more than 50% of their household income on housing.

  • An Ex Post Evaluation of the Ridership Impacts of the Viva Bus Transit System
    AN EX POST EVALUATION OF THE RIDERSHIP IMPACTS OF THE VIVA BUS TRANSIT SYSTEM by Robert David Forsey A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science Graduate Department of Civil Engineering University of Toronto © Copyright Robert David Forsey 2011 An Ex Post Evaluation of the Ridership Impacts of the VIVA Bus Transit System by Robert David Forsey Master of Applied Science, 2011 Department of Civil Engineering, University of Toronto ABSTRACT The Regional Municipality of York introduced a new bus service known as VIVA in 2005. Although it has been deemed a success by many, it remains to be seen to what degree transit use was affected by its introduction. This study shows that transit ridership in York jumped substantially immediately after the implementation of VIVA. Furthermore, it is determined that the majority of new transit users in York are making home-based work or post-secondary school trips. To evaluate this, home-based work and post-secondary school generalized extreme value discrete choice models are estimated. Improvements in transit service are found to have a greater impact on transit mode share than increases in congestion for both work and post-secondary school trips. It is also, however, concluded that transit improvements played a relatively small role in the considerable shift to transit amongst post-secondary students. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisors Drs. Amer Shalaby and Eric Miller for their thoughtful ideas, patience, and funding. I am greatly indebted to you both for your help. Although not strictly a thesis supervisor, Dr.
