PLANNING STRATEGY AND POLICIES PROVINCIAL Maple is located in the Central York area and is within Zone 1 of the Toronto Centre Region Plan. The status report on the Toronto Centre Region Plan of August 1971 recommended a population figure of 4000 -,5000 persons for Maple. This recommendation was part of a list of growth communities for Central York, and, on the basis of the allocations. the then Ontario Water Resource Commission was instructed to explore design possibilities for the major servicing schemes in the Central York area. When preparing the design of the York Servicing Scheme, an initial population target .of 10,500 persons for Maple was subsequently established. The design for the water supply and sanitary sewer systems was sized to accommodate the population target plus capacity for the industrial area and leachate from the landfill sit'e. II REGIONAL The Council of the Regional Municipality of York has not yet adopted the Regional Official Plan. However, the Policy, Papers for the Draft Official Plans (Seminars 1 and 2) have been received by the York Regional Council for discussion purposes and presented to the area municipalities. Policy Paper 3 (September 1978) allocates a total population to the Town of Vaughan of 130,500 (123,000 urban plus 7,500 rural), but makes no specific allocation to urban centres within the Town. Policy Paper 4- Settlement Patterns (September 1978)- identifies Maple as an urban centre· but notes. that its ·boundaries are under review. According to Regional policies it is ,intended that each area municipality prepare detailed development plans for orderly growth within the urban centre boundaries. Ill MUNICIPAL 1. With the advent of full urban services, the Maple Community is subject to very strong and direct urban development pressures. If the Town is adequately protected by appropriate development agreements and development levy policy and by a proper Community Development plan, this is a potentially advantageous situation for the Town as well as for the consumer and user of land, both public and private. 2. The most obvious area for immediate development is south of the existing urban area, forming part of a logical residential development corridor, between the West Branch of the Don River and the CNR tracks. Given a clear plan and the neighbourhood outlines shown in this Amendment and its Schedules, developers will respond readily by subdivision design to this opportunity. This will round out and complete the existing residential areas. These areas are also of sufficient size for each to accommodate population
