Complete communities are well-designed, encourage the use of active transportation and support overall quality of life, human health and climate change mitigation. Complete communities may take different shapes and forms appropriate to their contexts.";

b. add a new definition of “Complete Streets” to clarify the use of this terminology in the Growth Plan as shown in italicized text:

“Complete Streets - Streets that support and enhance local neighbourhood context and character, incorporate green infrastructure and safely accommodate all transportation users - pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders and motorists of all ages and abilities.”;

ii. indicate as part of Policy 2.2.4.5 that the major transit station area minimum gross density targets are only to be considered in relation to the underlying land use designations of official plans;

iii. revise Policy 2.2.4.10 to ensure that municipalities are consulted by the Province, prior to the Province choosing to identify additional priority transit corridors or mobility hubs, as shown in italicized text: "Policy 2.2.4.10 – The Province may, in prior consultation with municipalities, identify additional priority transit corridors or mobility hubs and planning requirements for priority transit corridors or mobility hubs, to support the optimization of transit investments across the GGH…";

e. revise Policy 2.2.4.6 to include all “employment areas” (and not just "prime employment areas") as not being subject to Policy 2.2.4.5, if the minimum density targets, as currently described in Policy 2.2.4.5, remain;

f. revise the definition of “Prime Employment Areas” and all affected and related policies to allow for office use;

"Compact Built Form - A land use pattern that encourages the efficient use of land, walkable neighbourhoods (with well-designed streets, parks, walkways and publicly-accessible open spaces having access to sunlight to support healthy vegetation and human comfort), mixed land uses (residential, retail, workplace and institutional) all within one neighbourhood, proximity to transit, parks and public service facilities and reduced need for infrastructure. Compact built form can include detached and semi-detached houses on small lots as well as townhouses and walk-up apartments, multi-storey commercial developments, and apartments or offices above retail. Walkable neighbourhoods can be characterized by roads streets laid out in a fine-grained, well-connected network, destinations that are easily accessible by active transportation, sidewalks with minimal interruptions for vehicle access, and a pedestrian friendly environment along and between roads streets to encourage active transportation";

n. revise the wording of Policy 2.2.4.5 c. shown in italicized text, to provide direction that urban form supports the quality of life for people of all ages and abilities: "2.2.2.5 - In planning for the intensification of built-up areas, municipalities will:

"High Quality Urban Form - A scale and pattern of buildings, streets, parks and open space which is compact, integrated, contextually appropriate and well - designed to support active transportation, pedestrian safety, comfort and amenity and which promotes human and environmental health and sustains a high quality of life.";

q. strengthen how the proposed Growth Plan addresses cumulative negative impacts to water quality and quantity in downstream municipalities by:

ii. revising Policy 3.2.7.1 b. to include an assessment of the cumulative downstream impacts of storm water from existing and planned development shown in italicized text as follows: "Policy 3.2.7.1 b. - Examine the cumulative environmental impacts of stormwater from existing and planned development, including an assessment of cumulative downstream impacts of stormwater from development, if any, and how extreme weather events will exacerbate these impacts.";

r. add a new section called “Biodiversity” to Chapter 4 “Policies for Protecting What is Valuable” and include policies to encourage municipalities to consider urban biodiversity in their decision making and to develop official plan policies and strategies to address the impacts of the built environment on wildlife, such as migratory birds;

s. add a new section to Chapter 4 "Policies for Protecting What is Valuable" Policy 4.2 called “Urban River Valleys” and include policies to require municipalities within settlement areas to protect, restore and enhance all urban river valleys (not just those that connect to the Greenbelt) and to minimize the adverse impact of activities and land use change on lands adjacent to urban river valleys;

t. revise Policy 4.2.10. 2 a. to add “green infrastructure and low impact development” to the strategies municipalities should be encouraged to develop to improve resilience to climate change, as shown in italicized text: “develop strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve resilience to climate change through land use planning, planning for infrastructure, including transit and energy, and green infrastructure and low impact development, and the conservation objectives in Policy 4.2.9.1”; and

u.  provide municipalities with a stronger voice in managing urban growth centre density targets that exceed provincially mandated minimums, by deleting Policy 2.2.3.4 of the proposed Growth Plan and replacing it with the following two new policies:    

i.  "4. If an urban growth centre is planned to achieve by 2031 or has already achieved a gross density target that meets or exceeds the minimum density targets in Policy 2.2.3.3, then additional intensification will only be considered after the municipality has undertaken a new municipally-initiated official plan review that sets a planning framework for the area and official plan policies to address the impact of additional intensification on matters relating to: the capacity, provision and integration of infrastructure and public service facilities to support community growth; the reinforcement of local communities; contextually appropriate and high quality built form; availability of local parks and open space; and a range of employment opportunities and housing; and in so doing, the new minimum density target that is set, if any, will be considered the new minimum density target for the Urban Growth Centre."; and

ii.  "5. While addressing Policy 2.2.3.4, municipalities may identify interim planning tools to restrict privately-initiated development in affected Urban Growth Centre areas until such time as the municipality has completed its official plan review and sufficient infrastructure capacity is, or will be, in place to accommodate the projected additional intensification."

3.  City Council request the Minister of Municipal Affairs to revise the proposed Greenbelt Plan as follows:

a. use a systems approach to recognize and protect urban river valleys that is consistent with the approach advocated by both the Greenbelt Plan 2005 and the PPS 2014, which recognizes the connectivity of natural features and applies to both public and private land;

b. continue to recognize “river valley connections” as contiguous features, as they are currently recognized in the 2005 Greenbelt Plan schedules and policies; and

c. add a new policy to Policy 3.2.6 “External Connections” to require municipalities to identify “river valley connections” in their official plans and to work together with the Province, Conservation Authorities, private landowners, First Nations, and other institutions and organizations to recognize the important functions river valley connections provide through public information, awareness and stewardship programs and partnerships.

4.  City Council request clarification from the Minister of Municipal Affairs as to the origin of the gross density targets identified in the proposed Growth Plan Policy 2.2.4.5 for “major transit station areas”.

5.  City Council request the Minister of Municipal Affairs to develop technical guidelines to provide a consistent methodology and reporting structure to measure greenhouse gas emissions and a consistent format for climate change vulnerability risk assessments to assist in the implementation of proposed Growth Plan policies on climate change and integrated planning.

6.  City Council advise the Minister of Municipal Affairs that any direction in the proposed Growth Plan to provide detailed mapping of all major planned and existing transportation corridors, intermodal hubs and major ports, all major planned and existing transit corridors and any detailed pre-determination of which adjacent lands require official plan protection around these corridors, is not appropriate within the context of the role of an official plan.

7.  City Council request the Minister of Municipal Affairs to issue a Provincial Regulation for “zoning with conditions” which permits a municipality to prescribe the provision of employment space as a condition for the construction of housing in certain locations of the municipality, such as in “urban growth centres” or along "priority transit corridors".

8.  City Council request the Minister of Municipal Affairs to work towards aligning the “Big Move” and the “Provincial Mobility Hub Guidelines” with the proposed Growth Plan’s “Major Transit Station Areas” and other transit related policies, in order to achieve clarity with regard to the application of transit policies for the Greater Toronto Area region.

9.  City Council advise the Minister of Municipal Affairs that guidance will be required from the Province if municipalities are to develop and implement transportation demand management policies including locally appropriate modal share targets.

10.  City Council request the Minister of Municipal Affairs to "advance growth planning and support the development of complete communities in Ontario" by providing for more substantial and ongoing levels of funding for municipalities to accelerate the achievement of this Provincial goal.
