(G65).
The Chair acknowledged correspondence from the following:
o Peter Orphanos, Chair, Sierra Club Peel, received February 1, 2010
o Michael Gagnon, Gagnon Law Urban Planners, dated February 1,
2010, on behalf of North West Brampton Landowners Group.
Committee was advised that an amendment was being proposed to
Clause 3 of the staff recommendation.
Clause 3 of the staff recommendation read as follows:
“3. Council direct staff to incorporate the following directions in the
Growth Plan Official Plan amendment:
i) ii) iii)
iv) v) vi) 2010 02 01 Population, household and employment forecasts as set out in
the draft Growth Plan Official Plan amendment tabled at the
public meeting;
That the City will need to designate additional employment
lands to accommodate employment growth to 2031 in the
order of 70,000 to 90,000 jobs to 2031, on existing vacant
land and newly designated land, primarily for employment
uses but also including limited amounts of service, retail and
institutional uses;
That the designation of additional employment lands and
related policy will be undertaken prior to or as part of the
City’s five year Official Plan review and secondary planning
processes, particularly for Secondary Plan Areas 47, 52 and 53;
That additional employment lands within Northwest Brampton
should be strategically positioned adjacent to future
transportation and transit infrastructure;
That future employment lands within Northwest Brampton will
be targeted for higher order, higher density employment uses
and that lower density uses (e.g. warehousing and distribution)
will be discouraged;
That approximately an additional 110 hectares of employment
land east of Clarkway Drive in Secondary Plan Area 47 be
designated as Industrial and Special Study Area, the purpose
of which will be to further evaluate the viability of these
industrial lands within the context of the Secondary Plan Area
while considering the City’s overall employment land needs.
Page 6 of 15
MINUTES
Planning, Design and Development Committee
In addition strategies and policies will be developed to
encourage higher density employment uses as part of the
secondary planning for Area 47;
vii) Policies and/or land use designations which allow for a mix of
employment and commercial land uses within the Vales North
Special Study Area (Secondary Plan Area 49)”.
A motion was put forward to amend Clause 3 above to reflect the
proposed amendment as follows:
3. That Council direct staff to incorporate the following directions in the
Growth Plan Official Plan amendment:
i) ii) iii) iv) v)
vi) vii) 2010 02 01 Population, household and employment forecasts as set out
in the draft Growth Plan Official Plan amendment tabled at

lands to accommodate employment growth to 2031 in the order
of 70,000 to 90,000 jobs to 2031, on existing vacant land and
newly designated land, primarily for employment uses but also
including limited amounts of service, retail office and
institutional uses. Some of the employment growth noted above
could be accommodated in existing buildings on employment
lands provided that the City wide forecasts for employment
lands are not compromised;
That the designation of additional employment lands and the
advancement of related policies will be undertaken prior to or
as part of the City's five year Official Plan review and
secondary planning processes;
That additional employment lands within North West Brampton
should be strategically positioned adjacent to future
transportation and transit infrastructure;
That future employment lands within North West Brampton will
be targeted for higher order, higher density employment uses
and that lower density uses (e.g. warehousing and distribution)
will be discouraged;
That approximately 110 hectares of designated residential land
east of Clarkway Drive in Secondary Plan Area 47 be designated
Special Study Area, the purpose of which will be to further
evaluate the viability of these industrial lands within the context of
the Secondary Plan Area while considering the City's overall
employment land needs. In addition strategies and policies will
be developed to encourage higher density employment uses as
part of the secondary planning for Area 47;
Policies and/or land use designations which allow for a mix
of employment and commercial land uses within the Vales
North Special Study Area (Secondary Plan Area 49).

accommodate a portion of the City’s employment growth to 2031, or the
designation of 110 hectares of land east of Clarkway Drive in Secondary
Plan Area 47 as a Special Study Area intended to evaluate the viability of
these lands for employment, considering the City’s overall employment
land needs.
