C235-2005 Moved by Regional Councillor P. Palleschi Seconded by City Councillor G. Gibson
1. That the delegation of Mr. Robert Blunt, Goodman and Carr, on behalf of 1212949 Ontario Inc. re: Bram West Secondary Plan be received; and

3. That By-law 299-2005 be passed to adopt Official Plan Amendment OP93-251 to approve modifications as follows:
(a) By revising Section 4.1.8 to state that the policy covers the lands south of Steeles Avenue to the Brampton/Mississauga municipal boundary.
(b) By revising Section 4.1.10 to state that “Protection of lands within the area subject to the Corridor Protection Area overlay designation on Schedule SP40(a) shall be in accordance with Section 4.13.5 of the Official Plan. Once an alignment for the North-South Transportation Corridor and the related Bram West Parkway facility has been successfully determined, any required land use adjustments will be made through an official plan amendment to determine the final Secondary Plan land use designations.
In addition to the area subject to the Corridor Protection Area overlay designation, for the lands to the south of the Corridor Protection Area on Schedule SP40(a), Council shall protect for the possibility that a freeway alignment needs to be planned and developed within the Bram West Parkway alignment in the City of Brampton, with full movements to Highway 407 until such time as the ultimate role and function of the Bram West Parkway has been satisfactorily determined. In light of the foregoing, consent to
2005 09 26 Minutes Page 10 of 42 Regular Council Meeting sever, minor variance, subdivision, site plan and zoning applications within the Corridor Protection Area and south of the Corridor Protection Area on Schedule SP40(a) located between Winston Churchill Boulevard and Heritage Road shall be subject to a condition of development approval that protects an appropriate area to accommodate all feasible potential alignments and related infrastructure for the planning and development of a higher order transportation facility until such time as the alignment of the North-South Higher Order Transportation Corridor and the related Bram West Parkway facility are determined in accordance with Section 4.13.5.2 of the Official Plan.
In addition, the current zoning of lands within the Corridor Protection Area and south of the Corridor Protection Area on Schedule SP40(a) located between Winston Churchill Boulevard and Heritage Road will be amended to add a holding symbol to facilitate the planning and development of a North-South Transportation facility and the related Bram West Parkway. (Staff note that the by-law takes the approach of keeping the existing range of land use permissions but place them in a holding symbol for the purposes of corridor protection. Using a holding symbol and retaining the underlying zoning symbol was determined by staff to be less problematic for landowners than would the stripping away of current zoning permissions.)
The holding symbol may be removed provided that technical information respecting the Bram West Parkway/North-South Transportation Corridor Environmental Assessment Study is available such that it has been determined that the lands will not be required as part of the proposed transportation corridor.”
(c) By revising Section 4.1.10.1 as follows to state that “Notwithstanding Section 4.1.10, the existing Maple Lodge Farms poultry and egg processing plant and ancillary uses located on a site of 130 acres in the West Half of Lot 2, Concession 6 W.H.S., may be permitted to expand, subject to standard conditions of development approval. In particular, such lands shall not be subject to a holding zone provision.”

In addition to the development of Bram West as a significant employment area in the City of Brampton, the lands designated for
2005 09 26 Minutes Page 11 of 42 Regular Council Meeting industrial uses in Lot 3, Concession 6 W.H.S. are intended to function as a buffer to the existing Maple Lodge Farms poultry and egg processing plant and ancillary uses located on the West Half of Lot 2, Concession 6 W.H.S. The City shall continue to recognize the need to retain an appropriate buffer area designated for employment uses during the preparation of the Bram West Parkway/North-South Corridor Environmental Assessment Study and during any subsequent planning process that determines the final land use disposition of the lands within the Bram West Corridor Protection Area.”
(e) By adding a new Section 4.1.11.1 to the City’s official plan amendment that states that “The land use designations shown schematically on Schedule SP40(a) within Concession 6 W.H.S. between Winston Churchill Boulevard and Heritage Road south of the Credit River which are subject to the Corridor Protection Area overlay designation are considered to be general in nature and will be subject to modification as a consequence of the Bram West Secondary Plan Review and the Bram West Parkway/North-South Corridor Environmental Assessment Study.”
(f) By revising Section 4.13.5 to include a reference to growth generated by developments within the Bram West Secondary Plan and points south and west as sources for traffic volumes crossing the Brampton municipal boundary.
(g) By revising Section 4.13.5.1 to state that “No new development will be approved within the Special Study Area as identified on Schedule”A” to this Plan and the lands bounded by the Financial Drive extension to the north, the municipal boundary to the south, Winston Churchill Boulevard to the west and Heritage Road to the east unless it is determined that the development proposal will not encumber the optimum ultimate construction of a north-south transportation facility and the related Bram West Parkway.”
(h) By adding a new Section 4.13.5.1.1 to state that: “Notwithstanding Section 4.13.5.1 of this Plan, the existing Maple Lodge Farms poultry and egg processing plant and ancillary uses located on a site of 130 acres in the West Half of Lot 2, Concession 6, W.H.S., may be permitted to expand, subject to standard conditions of development approval.”
(i) By adding a new Section 4.13.5.4 to state that “Council recognizes that the determination of the alignment for the North-South Higher Order Transportation Corridor and the related Bram West Parkway facility in accordance with Section 4.13.5.2 of this Plan must
2005 09 26 Minutes Page 12 of 42 Regular Council Meeting proceed in a timely fashion. Accordingly, it is intended that the lands within the Special Study Area designation will be released for development as expeditiously as possible.”
(j) By returning the land use designations within Concession 6 W.H.S. of the approved Bram West Secondary Plan to Schedule SP40 (a) of the City’s official plan amendment and then applying a Corridor Protection overlay designation; and
4. That By-law 300-2005 be passed to amend Zoning By-law 270-2004, as amended to modify as follows:
(a) By deleting the holding zone symbol on Schedule A-7 for the lands identified as M1 - Section 166 and the corresponding special section in the by-law and removing from the by-law the lagoon to the north and the existing retail outlet to the south.
(b) By clarifying the intent of the requirements for releasing the lands within the holding zone; and
5. That any alignments recommended by the Bram West Parkway/North- South Corridor Transportation Environmental Assessment Study recognize the existing 100 acre operation of Maple Lodge Farms in the Bram West Secondary Plan as a permanent constraint and avoid any disruption to the processing plant and related infrastructure; and
6. That it is hereby determined that in adopting the attached Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-Law, Council has had regard for all matters of Provincial Interest and the Provincial Policy Statements as set out in Section 2 and 3(5) respectively of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.P.13, as amended; and
7. That a statutory public meeting held under the Planning Act, and in accordance with Section 34(17) of the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P.13, as amended, Council hereby determines that no further public notice is to be given in respect of the attached Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-Law; and
8. That the City Clerk be directed to forward a copy of this report and Council resolution to the Ministry of Transportation (Urban Planning Office), the Regions of Peel and Halton and the local municipalities of Mississauga, Halton Hills, Caledon and Milton; and
9. That, due to the impact of increased traffic on the present transportation network, any developments in the areas in and around the proposed North South Transportation Corridor must be limited until the definition of this
2005 09 26 Minutes Page 13 of 42 Regular Council Meeting corridor and its timing is confirmed. Therefore as an adjunct policy to the proposed Official Plan amendment the following policy shall be implemented:
1) Prior to the development in the area subject to this Official Plan amendment or any abutting area (including Areas 51, 52 and 53) the City must be satisfied that the alignment, environmental assessment, property and capital budgeting for the proposed “North South Transportation Corridor” has been completed and approved; and
