In order to assess the area and initiate the study, staff prepared a policy background analysis and a methodology to conduct the area study as outlined in this report. The methodology included a significant amount of community consultation.
This report outlines the outcomes of a Local Area Study and recommends that this report be used to further inform the review of Site and Area Specific (SAS) Policy 154 that applies to a portion of the study area (See Attachment 1a). This report also recommends further consultation with area residents on SAS Policy 154 as part of the Official Plan and Municipal Comprehensive Reviews.
