Council Report Template 70 PINE STREET, BRACEBRIDGE, ONTARIO P1L 1N3 Telephone (705) 645-2231 / Fax (705) 645-5319 / 1-800-461-4210 (705 area code) www.muskoka.on.ca To: Chair and Members Community and Planning Services Committee From: Summer Valentine Director of Planning Date: September 19, 2019 Subject: Approval of the Adopted Town of Huntsville Official Plan Report: CPS-17-2019-3 ________________________________________________________________________________ Recommendation THAT a by-law be prepared to modify and approve the modified Town of Huntsville Official Plan adopted by Town By-law 2019-23, in accordance with Schedule “A” to Report CPS-17-2019-3. Origin The Town of Huntsville Council adopted a new Official Plan on March 19, 2019 and submitted the record on March 21, 2019 for approval by Muskoka District Council. Analysis Background and Purpose In 2015, the Town of Huntsville initiated an official plan review process as required periodically by the Planning Act to ensure land use planning policies are updated to be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) and to conform to the Muskoka Official Plan (MOP). In February of 2016, the vision, goals and objectives formulated through the review process were endorsed by Town Council as a basis for the review. In 2017, Council delegated authority to the Development Services Committee to oversee a public engagement process and the preparation of Policy Background Papers and a preliminary Policy Directions Report, ultimately leading to the drafting of official plan policies. Between 2018 and 2019, three drafts of the Official Plan were released to the public for review and comment. District staff participated on the Town’s Official Plan Review Advisory Committee and provided technical guidance and advice on the preparation of policies that conformed to the existing MOP as well as the adopted Muskoka Official Plan Amendment 47 (i.e. the new MOP), and were consistent with the PPS. The adoption of the Town of Huntsville Official Plan (HOP) by Town By-law 2019-23 is the result of the comprehensive review process and is comprised of updated official plan policies, along with a series of schedules and appendices, collectively intended to replace the previous version of the Page 1 Town of Huntsville’s Official Plan once approved by the District. The purpose of the revised HOP is to provide a comprehensive framework to manage growth and physical change throughout the Town over the next twenty years. The HOP sets out updated goals, objectives and policies which will guide decision making affecting land use planning within the Town. Circulation and Public Meetings Through the official plan review, the Town undertook an extensive public consultation process which exceeded the minimum requirements of the Planning Act and associated regulations. This consultation process included six open houses, two public meetings, numerous working group meetings as well as meetings with community stakeholders. Notices of the open houses and public meetings were circulated to the required agencies and the public pursuant to the Planning Act. Copies of open house and public meeting notices, drafts of the HOP, background documents, and summaries of the public comments were also posted on the Town’s website. The Town received feedback from a variety of individuals and organizations both verbally at meetings and through written submissions. Throughout the process, District staff provided written comments on the various drafts of the HOP, which addressed consistency with the PPS and conformity to the MOP. Town and District staff met on several occasions to discuss these comments and resolve outstanding issues. This has resulted in minimal modifications being proposed to the adopted HOP. Since receipt of the record by the District, correspondence has been received from the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) (attached as Appendix “I”). The comments relate to the depiction of Provincial Highways on the HOP schedules and appendices, the location of future intersections and collector roads associated with Highways 11 and 60, and concern that lands north of Highway 60 within the Town of Huntsville Urban Centre previously designated as “Future Urban” were re- designated primarily as “Business Employment”. District staff reviewed the schedules and appendices and are satisfied that the requested changes from the MTO have been incorporated in the adopted HOP. With respect to the re-designation of the “Future Urban” area, the MTO is primarily concerned that a secondary planning exercise would no longer be required prior to development. However, the adopted HOP policies expand the ability of the Town to initiate a secondary plan for any area within the Urban Centre, where such a plan would be necessary to provide more detailed planning objectives and policies to guide development. Town staff are aware of the MTO position and will take this into account when determining secondary planning requirements for any future development proposed in the affected area. Muskoka Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 48 As noted in Report CPS-17-2019-2 an amendment to the MOP was recommended to facilitate consideration of the approval of the adopted HOP in accordance with the Planning Act. Minor conformity issues relating to settlement area boundaries and designations between the MOP and HOP are addressed through proposed Muskoka OPA 48. Proposed Modifications A limited number of technical and other minor modifications to the adopted HOP are recommended to ensure that policies which address Provincial and District interests are clearly articulated. In addition to these matters, Town of Huntsville staff also requested seven technical revisions to the adopted document. The Town’s Development Services Committee has endorsed the proposed modifications as outlined in the resolution and staff report attached as Appendix “II”. Page 2 Summary The PPS and the Muskoka Official Plan were considered in the review of the adopted HOP. Subject to the recommended modifications and the adoption of Muskoka OPA 48, the document is consistent with the PPS and conforms to the MOP. Financial Considerations No impact on the 2019 Tax Supported Operating and Capital Budget and Forecast is anticipated as a result of this report. Communications The notice of decision will be circulated in accordance with the Planning Act and to the courtesy notice email list for this project.

  • Rethinking Toronto's Middle Landscape: Spaces of Planning, Contestation, and Negotiation Robert Scott Fiedler a Dissertation S
    RETHINKING TORONTO’S MIDDLE LANDSCAPE: SPACES OF PLANNING, CONTESTATION, AND NEGOTIATION ROBERT SCOTT FIEDLER A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN GEOGRAPHY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO May 2017 © Robert Scott Fiedler, 2017 Abstract This dissertation weaves together an examination of the concept and meanings of suburb and suburban, historical geographies of suburbs and suburbanization, and a detailed focus on Scarborough as a suburban space within Toronto in order to better understand postwar suburbanization and suburban change as it played out in a specific metropolitan context and locale. With Canada and the United States now thought to be suburban nations, critical suburban histories and studies of suburban problems are an important contribution to urbanistic discourse and human geographical scholarship. Though suburbanization is a global phenomenon and suburbs have a much longer history, the vast scale and explosive pace of suburban development after the Second World War has a powerful influence on how “suburb” and “suburban” are represented and understood. One powerful socio-spatial imaginary is evident in discourses on planning and politics in Toronto: the city-suburb or urban-suburban divide. An important contribution of this dissertation is to trace out how the city-suburban divide and meanings attached to “city” and “suburb” have been integral to the planning and politics that have shaped and continue to shape Scarborough and Toronto. The research employs an investigative approach influenced by Michel Foucault’s critical and effective histories and Bent Flyvbjerg’s methodological guidelines for phronetic social science.

    PH20.2 REPORT FOR ACTION City Planning Division - Study Work Program Update Date: January 5, 2021 To: Planning and Housing Committee From: Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Wards: All SUMMARY This report provides the City Planning Division's annual update on its Study Work Program. It outlines the Division's 58 completions and approvals in 2020, highlighting a remarkable variety of city building work. The report also provides a forecast for the Division's 2021 Study Work Program. Although this past year has not been business as usual given COVID-19 impacts, the collaborative effort with divisions across the Toronto Public Service, external agencies and community partners enabled City Planning to advance studies and initiatives in support of the City's 2019 Corporate Strategic Plan and its four Strategic Priorities on affordable housing, mobility, quality of life, and climate change and resiliency. These include affordable housing policy and programs, such as inclusionary zoning and Housing Now; new planning frameworks to guide longer term investment and growth, for example, the Golden Mile and Keele Finch Plus secondary plans; zoning initiatives including expanding permissions for outdoor patios to support bars and restaurants as part of Toronto's recovery efforts; environmental initiatives such as the Ravine Implementation Strategy; and guidelines, including the Retail Design Manual, to influence better design and development outcomes across the city. Looking ahead, the 2021 Study Work Program reflects Council's direction

  • 966 Don Mills Road – City-Initiated Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendment Application – Final Report
    REPORT FOR ACTION 966 Don Mills Road – City-Initiated Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment Application – Final Report Date: August 23, 2021 To: North York Community Council From: Acting Director, Community Planning, North York District Wards: 16 - Don Valley East Planning Application Number: 19 255599 NNY 16 OZ SUMMARY At its meeting of July 16, 17 and 18, 2019, City Council approved a community recreation centre accommodating a twin-pad arena/multi-sport indoor courts, gymnasium with walking track, an aquatic centre, and community and program space, co-located with a large community park at 844 Don Mills Road (the former Celestica lands) to serve the communities along Don Mills Road, from York Mills Road to Flemingdon Park. In order to implement this approval, City Council directed staff to initiate an Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment to modify zoning permissions for 966 Don Mills Road, located one kilometre north of 844 Don Mills Road, which had been previously approved to accommodate a community recreation centre. City Council further directed that staff undertake a review of other public and community uses that may be accommodated at 966 Don Mills Road through the execution of a Public and Community Needs Scan of the Broader Don Mills Catchment Area (the "Scan") to determine if any service gaps will exist following the completion of the recommended community recreation centre at 844 Don Mills Road. The purpose of the Scan was to assist in determining future public/community use(s) for the lands at 966 Don Mill Road. This amendment implements City Council's direction by recommending the removal of provisions related to the construction of a community recreation centre previously approved at 966 Don Mills Road included in current site specific official plan policies, zoning by-law provisions and a Section 37 agreement for the Shops at Don Mills.

  • Map of Don Mills Middle School
    Attachment 1: Submissions Public Meeting, Don Mills Middle School and the location of the Don Mills Civitan Arena Comments received by E-mail December 03, 2013 Dear David, Phillip and Brenda, I hope this mail finds you well. My name is Sinan Madenli and I am a resident of Don Mills, living at 64 Greenland Road (at the corner of Lawrence Ave. East and Greenland Rd.). On (19th September, 2003) we have been informed at the informal Community Informational meeting forced by Councillor Denzel Minnan-Wong that TDSB took a decision to sell “surplus” properties at number of school locations which amongst them is the field at the north of Don Mills Collegiate Institute that belongs to Don Mills Middle Scholl in an “In Camera” meeting. My property is adjacent to the field mentioned above and naturally this action by TDSB will have severe consequences for me and many other neighbours which are in the same position as I am. Regardless of who acquires this property and what kind of development occurs on it , it will have a major impact on us ranging from the decreasing the value of our property, to disturbance of peace and quiet we are enjoying, to tripling the traffic congestion in the area. Furthermore, when this decisions was made in June 9th 2013 meeting, it appears DMMS field was added to the list in a last minute snap decision (unfortunately) with the recommendation of our school trustee Harout Manaugian under the influence of heavy lobbying by DMRI (Terry West), Civitan Club Members and Build Toronto, hoping that to convince the City planners locate the new Civitan Arena at this location.

  • Central Don Mills Secondary Plan 24
    24 CENTRAL DON MILLS SECONDARY PLAN 24. CENTRAL DON MILLS SECONDARY PLAN The lands affected by the Central Don Mills Secondary Plan are shown on Map 24-1. 1. GENERAL CONCEPT 1.1 Central Don Mills was planned and built in the 1950’s as a self-contained community. A unique development in its time, it became a model for suburban development across Canada. Although Don Mills changed and evolved, basic elements remained. These are: a) four discrete neighbourhoods each historically focused on an elementary school and church, built outside of a ring road (The Donways); b) apartment development within the ring road; c) a central commercial and community centre within The Donways at the southwest corner of Don Mills Road and Lawrence Avenue; d) a local road network in the four neighbourhoods designed to discourage through traffic; e) schools in an open space setting; f) an open space network comprised of parks and walkways that provide pedestrian and cycling links between the neighbourhoods and the community centre; g) a balanced mix of housing forms and tenures, including detached and semi-detached dwellings, townhouses and apartments; h) a sense of scale and consistency in design; i) the arrangement of built form and open spaces in a sympathetic, mutually supportive manner; and j) design and landscaping reflecting the garden city concept. These elements will continue to provide the framework of the Secondary Plan Area as it evolves. 1.2 Background 1.2.1 Don Mills Centre The Don Mills Centre has developed as a commercial area containing a shopping mall, other retail uses, offices, a post office and an arena.
