  • ACTIVE TOGETHER MASTER PLAN Parks, Recreation & Libraries
    ACTIVE TOGETHER MASTER PLAN Parks, Recreation & Libraries 2013 Review & Update May 2013 APPENDIX mbpc Monteith Brown planning consultants ACTIVE TOGETHER MASTER PLAN Parks, Recreation & Libraries APPENDIX A: BACKGROUND DOCUMENT REVIEW 1. Planning Documents The Ontario Planning Act The Ontario Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990 is the guiding document for all land use planning in Ontario, with the objective of promoting sustainable economic development in a healthy environment. Sections 42 and 51.1 of the Planning Act establish a framework for parkland dedication, which provides approval authorities with powers to impose parkland dedication requirements as a condition of development or a plan of subdivision through site plan. These sections maintain that 2% for commercial and industrial land and 5% of residential lands be conveyed to the municipality for parkland or other public recreational purposes. In certain cases, where the approval authority has established specific policies regarding parkland dedication, the Planning Act allows the approval authority to require parkland at a rate of one hectare for each 300 dwelling units proposed. Alternatively, the Planning Act gives the approval authority to accept payment in lieu of parkland equal to the value of land required. The Planning Act establishes that the value of this land is determined the day or the day before the draft plan of subdivision is approved or the issuance of a building permit. Further, Section 42 (6.2) maintains that the Council may reduce the payment of cash‐in‐lieu of parkland if a redevelopment project meets certain sustainability criteria established in the Official Plan, where the Official Plan contains policies regarding the reduction in cash‐in‐lieu payments, and where no land is available to be conveyed for park or other public recreational purposes.

A Closer Look at the Japanese American National Museum Abstract Los Angeles has prided itself as a city living on the edge, always setting the trend for the rest of America. Indeed, it became a magnet for many Americans fleeing Midwestern farms, southern plantations, Indian reservations, and east coast cities searching for a new life. Perhaps more than any other metropolis, L.A. is a city of neighborhoods defined by foreign immigration. One such neighborhood, Little Tokyo, has become the center of an effort to preserve the story of Japanese Americans. Comments Reprinted from OAH Newsletter, Volume 29, Issue 1, 2001, 4 pages.
