REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF PEEL
BY-LAW NUMBER 15-2003
SCHEDULE A


AMENDMENT NUMBER 7
TO THE OFFICIAL PLAN OF THE
REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF PEEL

 

PART A - THE PREAMBLE

1. Purpose of the Amendment:

The purpose of this amendment is to bring the Regional Official Plan into conformity with the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (Ontario Regulation 140/02) as required by Section 9 of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act, 2001.

2. Location:

This Amendment affects all lands located in the Regional Municipality of Peel that are subject to the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan as indicated on Schedule D1 to this Amendment.

3. Basis:

On December 14, 2001 the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act, 2001 received Royal Assent and was deemed to have come into force on November 16, 2001. The legislation provides for the establishment of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan by Regulation. On April 22, 2002, Ontario Regulation 140/02 - the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, was filed and deemed to have come into effect on November 16, 2001.

Through the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act, 2001 and the accompanying Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (a regulation to the Act), the Province of Ontario has established a policy framework for protecting the Oak Ridges Moraine. Municipal planning decisions are required to conform to the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, which prevails over municipal official plans.

The boundary of the Oak Ridges Moraine has been identified by the Province and is based on a number of topographical, geomorphological, and geological attributes. This amendment incorporates the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan Area boundary onto a new Schedule D1, Figures 1 and 2 (existing but revised by this amendment), and on new Figures 12 , 13, and 14 of the Regional Official Plan. This amendment also changes existing Regional Official Plan policies by including references to the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act, 2001 and Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan.

 

PART B - THE AMENDMENT

All of the Amendment entitled PART B - THE AMENDMENT, consisting of the attached policy and mapping changes constitutes Amendment 7 to the Region of Peel Official Plan.

1. Section 1.2 is amended by replacing the last sentence of the second paragraph with, "The Province of Ontario has expressed a Provincial interest in, and has passed legislation for, the long-term protection of the Oak Ridges Moraine".

2. Section 2.1, specifically 2.1.1 Purpose, is amended by replacing the end of the last sentence in the fourth paragraph with, "…, the Niagara Escarpment Plan and the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan".

3. Section 2.2.9 Oak Ridges Moraine is deleted in its entirety to be replaced by the following:


2.2.9 Oak Ridges Moraine

The Oak Ridges Moraine is one of Ontario's most significant landforms. Together with the Niagara Escarpment, Lake Ontario, and river valleys, it forms the foundation of south-central Ontario's natural heritage and greenspace systems. Located north of and parallel to Lake Ontario, the Oak Ridges Moraine in Peel divides the watersheds draining south into Lake Ontario from those draining north into areas such as Lake Simcoe and Georgian Bay. The Oak Ridges Moraine shapes the present and future form and structure of the Greater Toronto region and its ecological and hydrological features and functions are critical to the region's continuing health.

Through the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act, 2001 and the accompanying Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP), the Province has established direction for protecting the Oak Ridges Moraine. The ORMCP is a regulation to the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act, 2001. The boundary and land use designations for the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan Area (ORMCPA) within Peel are shown on Schedule D1 in this Plan.

The purpose of the ORMCP is to provide land use and resource management direction on how to protect the ecological and hydrological features and functions of the Oak Ridges Moraine. The requirements of the ORMCP are intended to satisfy a range of objectives. These objectives include, but are not limited to, ensuring that the Oak Ridges Moraine is maintained as a continuous natural landform, restoring and improving ecological integrity and connectivity between natural features and functions, and providing opportunities for compatible recreation, including a continuous recreational trail across the Oak Ridges Moraine.

Municipal official plans and zoning bylaws must conform to the ORMCP. The major provisions that are relevant at the Regional level have been incorporated into this section of the Regional Official Plan. However, these policies must be read in conjunction with the detailed provisions of the ORMCP, all other applicable policies of this Plan, and the Town of Caledon Official Plan. The conformity exercise required by Section 9 of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act, 2001 allows municipalities to refine ORMCP policies to Regional and local circumstances. Further, it also allows municipalities to be more restrictive than the ORMCP except with respect to agricultural uses, mineral aggregate operations, and wayside pits.

A significant rural population lives in the Peel and Caledon portion of the Oak Ridges Moraine. Together with the Town of Caledon's Official Plan and Zoning By-law, it is the intention of this Plan to recognize and protect the continuing presence of existing residential uses as legal conforming uses, while encouraging minimum impacts on the long-term ecological integrity of the Oak Ridges Moraine.

Where this Plan contains terms that are defined by the ORMCP, they are underlined. The ORMCP should be consulted for the specific definition. Also, terms that are defined in this Plan are italicized.

2.2.9.1 Goal

To implement the Provincial Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan to protect the ecological and hydrological features and functions of the Oak Ridges Moraine and the associated benefits to Peel residents.

2.2.9.2 General Objectives

2.2.9.2.1 To implement the ORMCP in a manner that respects the Five Principles of this Plan, through Regional planning documents and decisions and refines the policies of the ORMCP to Regional and local circumstances.

2.2.9.2.2 To provide direction to the Town of Caledon to develop appropriate policies in its Official Plan for implementing the ORMCP.

2.2.9.2.3 To undertake all Regional responsibilities in a manner that respects the intent of the ORMCP.

2.2.9.3 Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan

It is the policy of Regional Council to:

GENERAL

2.2.9.3.1 Recognize the Oak Ridges Moraine as a provincially significant feature.

2.2.9.3.2 Read and interpret the policies of Section 2.2.9 of this Plan in conjunction with all other applicable policies of this Plan and apply the most restrictive policies, except where prohibited by the ORMCP.

2.2.9.3.3 Direct the Town of Caledon to develop appropriate Official Plan policies and a Zoning By-law to implement and refine the requirements of the ORMCP. This includes specifically addressing those requirements that are more appropriately addressed at the area municipal level. Policies are to include, but are not limited to those addressing servicing requirements and restrictions, the continuation of existing uses, permitting residential dwellings on existing lots of record, addressing accessory uses and structures, the applicability of the Table in Part III of the ORMCP to existing uses, second dwellings, lots of record, approved uses, consents, and permitted uses.

2.2.9.3.4 Direct the Town of Caledon, when it amends its Official Plan and Zoning By-law to bring them into conformity with the ORMCP to:

a) Recognize, within the ORMCPA, existing residential uses and new single dwellings on existing lots of record where a single dwelling would have been lawfully permitted by the Town of Caledon's existing Zoning By-law on November 15, 2001.

b) Consider, within the ORMCPA, recognizing existing uses that are not residential in its Zoning By-law on a site specific basis, subject to consideration of existing and potential impacts on the ecological integrity of the Oak Ridges Moraine;

c) Consider incorporating policies in its Official Plan, within the ORMCPA, that allow uses and structures accessory to existing uses and new single dwellings on existing lots of record, subject to all applicable provisions of the Town's Official Plan and the ORMCP.

d) Consider incorporating policies in its Official Plan, within the ORMCPA, that allow apartments in houses and garden suites, subject to all applicable provisions of the Town's Official Plan and the ORMCP.

2.2.9.3.5 Permit the Town of Caledon to be more restrictive in its Official Plan and Zoning By-law, except as prohibited by the ORMCP.

2.2.9.3.6 Recognize the external boundary of the ORMCPA in Peel as shown on Schedule D1.

LAND USE DESIGNATIONS

2.2.9.3.7 Identify the boundaries of the land use designations on Schedule D1 and to recognize that the boundaries may be further refined by the Town of Caledon when the Town's Official Plan and Zoning By-law are amended in accordance with Sections 9 and 10 of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act, 2001.

The following policies indicate the general purpose and intent of each of the ORMCP land use designations, and provide general direction regarding permitted uses. These policies are to be supported by detailed policies in the Town of Caledon Official Plan.

a) Natural Core Areas - Maintain and where possible improve or restore ecological integrity. These areas have a high concentration of key natural heritage features, hydrologically sensitive features, and/or landform conservation areas and are critical to maintaining and improving the integrity of the Moraine as a whole. New permitted uses are generally related to conservation and resource management, low intensity recreation, or agriculture subject to other provisions of the ORMCP. Existing uses are protected and are allowed to continue and a single dwelling can be built on an existing lot of record, where permitted by the Town of Caledon. Uses and structures accessory to existing uses are allowed, where permitted by the Town of Caledon Official Plan.

b) Natural Linkage Areas - Maintain, and where possible, improve or restore ecological integrity and open space linkages between Natural Core Areas, river valleys, and stream corridors. New permitted uses include those that are permitted in Natural Core Area's as well as mineral aggregate operations and wayside pits, subject to other provisions of the ORMCP. Existing uses are protected and are allowed to continue and a single dwelling can be built on an existing lot of record, where permitted by the Town of Caledon. Uses and structures accessory to existing uses are allowed, where permitted by the Town of Caledon Official Plan.

c) Countryside Areas - Encourage agricultural and other uses that support the ORMCP by protecting prime agricultural areas, allowing agricultural and other rural land uses as well as normal farm practices to continue, and maintain the character of Rural Settlements. These are areas of existing rural land uses including agriculture, recreation, Rural Settlements, mineral aggregate operations, parks, and open space. Rural Settlements are components of the Countryside designation. Existing uses are protected and are allowed to continue and a single dwelling can be built on an existing lot of record, where permitted by the Town of Caledon. Uses and structures accessory to existing uses are allowed, where permitted by the Town of Caledon Official Plan. In addition, the Town of Caledon may recognize non-residential uses on existing lots of record in the Village of Palgrave where the use would have been lawfully permitted by the Town of Caledon's existing Zoning By-law on November 15, 2001.

The Palgrave Estate Residential Community, the boundary of which is shown on Schedule D1, is an additional component of the Countryside Area and residential development is permitted, subject to the Town of Caledon Official Plan, as amended from time to time, and specified provisions of the ORMCP.

d) Settlement Areas are intended to focus and contain urban growth. All uses permitted by the applicable Official Plans are permitted, subject to the applicable sections of the ORMCP. In Peel, the only Settlement Area is the Caledon East Rural Service Centre.

2.2.9.3.12 Direct the Town of Caledon to include in its Official Plan, appropriate policies to protect unevaluated and unmapped key natural heritage features and hydrologically sensitive features. Further, direct the Town of Caledon to require all applicants for new development or site alteration to identify potential key natural heritage features and hydrologically sensitive features and ensure that such features are appropriately evaluated and protected in accordance with any requirements of this Plan, the Town of Caledon Official Plan, and the ORMCP.

2.2.9.3.13 Direct the Town of Caledon to prohibit development and site alteration within a key natural heritage feature and/or a hydrologically sensitive feature and within the associated minimum vegetation protection zone, in accordance with the Table in Part III of the ORMCP, except as permitted by the ORMCP (e.g. existing uses and existing lots of record).

2.2.9.3.14 Direct the Town of Caledon to require that an application for new development or site alteration within the minimum area of influence of a key natural heritage feature or a hydrologically sensitive feature be accompanied by a natural heritage evaluation and/or a hydrological evaluation, as detailed in the ORMCP. The evaluation shall be prepared to the satisfaction of the Town of Caledon, in consultation with the Region of Peel and the applicable conservation authority, as appropriate. The Town of Caledon may develop guidelines to assist in the interpretation of this policy including appropriate mechanisms for refining and scoping evaluation requirements. These guidelines are to be developed in consultation with the Region of Peel and the applicable conservation authorities.

TRANSPORTATION, UTILITIES, AND INFRASTRUCTURE

2.2.9.3.20 Prohibit, subject to jurisdictional limitations, transportation, utility, and infrastructure uses in all land use designations unless the requirements of the ORMCP have been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable approval authority, such as the Region of Peel and the Town of Caledon, in consultation with other relevant agencies, as appropriate.


WATER RESOURCES

Protection of water resources is imperative to ensure the health of residents and maintaining ecosystem integrity. The ORMCP requires comprehensive watershed planning, the establishment of wellhead protection areas, and the consideration of the potential for groundwater aquifers to be impacted by various land uses.

Water Related Studies
Watershed plans are comprehensive management strategies that seek to understand the interconnections between terrestrial and aquatic components of the natural system. In addition to achieving a better understanding of overall ecosystem function, watershed plans support change through and an ecosystem-based approach to land-use planning. Overall, these plans assist in the management of land and water resources and recommend how they are to be protected and enhanced through land-use planning decisions.

2.2.9.3.21 Prepare in partnership with the Town of Caledon and the applicable conservation authority, watershed plans, including water budgets and water conservation plans, to meet the requirements of the ORMCP for every watershed in Peel having streams originating on the Moraine.

2.2.9.3.22 Incorporate by official plan amendment, the applicable objectives and requirements of a completed watershed plan into this Plan, as appropriate. Further, direct the Town of Caledon to also incorporate by official plan amendment, the applicable objectives and requirements of a completed watershed plan into the Town of Caledon Official Plan, as appropriate.

2.2.9.3.23 Direct the Town of Caledon to prohibit all development and site alteration in a subwatershed, except in a Settlement Area, if it would cause the total percentage of the subwatershed area having impervious surfaces to exceed 10 percent, or any lower percentage specified in an approved watershed or subwatershed study.

2.2.9.3.24 Direct the Town of Caledon to include in its Official Plan, appropriate policies that take into account the desirability of ensuring that at least 30 percent of a subwatershed located within the ORMCPA has self-sustaining vegetation.

2.2.9.3.25 Direct the Town of Caledon to prohibit the approval of major development unless the relevant requirements outlined in Sections 24, 30(8), 43, and 45 of the ORMCP have been satisfied.

Wellhead Protection
Wellhead protection areas are zones around wells where land uses must be carefully planned to protect the long-term quality of the water supply. In these areas, it may be necessary to restrict or even prohibit certain land uses due to their potential to impact groundwater. These restrictions will be detailed in the Town of Caledon Official Plan and uses will be restricted through the Town of Caledon's Zoning By-law.

Figure 13 of this Plan identifies Wellhead Protection Areas in Peel for the ORMCPA.

2.2.9.3.26 Undertake studies and modeling to determine the location and the extent of wellhead protection areas for all existing and future municipal wells within the ORMCPA. If, in the future, new municipal well(s) are located within the ORMCPA, the location of the new municipal well(s) and the associated wellhead protection areas will be shown on a Figure to this Plan.

2.2.9.3.27 Direct the Town of Caledon to prohibit or restrict, except in accordance with Section 6(1) and Section 28(3) of the ORMCP and subject to jurisdictional limitations, the storage (except by an individual for personal or family use) of petroleum fuels; petroleum solvents and chlorinated solvents; pesticides, herbicides and fungicides; construction equipment; inorganic fertilizers; road salt; contaminants listed in Schedule 3 (Severely Toxic Contaminants) to Regulation 347 of the Revised Regulations of Ontario, 1990; and the generation and storage of hazardous waste or liquid industrial waste within wellhead protection areas in the ORMCPA, corresponding to the 0-2, 2-10, and 10-25 years of time of travel zones.

2.2.9.3.28 Direct the Town of Caledon to prohibit, subject to jurisdictional limitations, the establishment of new storage of animal manure, animal agriculture, and the storage of agricultural equipment, which commences after November 15, 2001, in the 0-2 year time of travel zone within every wellhead protection area in the ORMCPA, except as permitted by the ORMCP.

2.2.9.3.29 Investigate the need and potential for undertaking risk management and contingency planning within the ORMCPA. This includes spills response, contaminant recovery and aquifer rehabilitation plans where land uses involving the storage of potential contaminants currently existing in identified wellhead protection areas within the ORMCPA. If a need exists, develop appropriate implementation tools, in partnership with the Town of Caledon, interested agencies and other community stakeholders, as appropriate.

Aquifer Vulnerability
Aquifer vulnerability refers to groundwater aquifer susceptibility to contamination from both human and natural sources. Figure 14 identifies Aquifer Vulnerability Areas in Peel for the ORMCPA.

2.2.9.3.30 Direct the Town of Caledon to prohibit, except in accordance with Section 6(1) of the ORMCP and subject to jurisdictional limitations, in areas of high aquifer vulnerability within the ORMCPA, the generation and storage of hazardous waste or liquid waste; waste disposal sites and facilities, organic conditioning sites, and snow storage and disposal facilities; underground and above ground storage tanks that are not equipped with an approved secondary containment device; and storage of a contaminant listed in Schedule 3 (Severely Toxic Contaminants) to Regulation 347 of the Revised Statutes of Ontario, 1990.

2.2.9.3.31 Direct the Town of Caledon to prohibit new rapid infiltration basins and rapid infiltration columns within the ORMCPA.

AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES

2.2.9.3.32 Direct that within the ORMCPA, in the case of conflict between the policies of Section 3.2 of this Plan and Section 33 of the ORMCP, the policies of the ORMCP shall apply to the extent that they are less restrictive.


MINERAL RESOURCES
