We are Planning Consultants…

We are Planning Consultants for Westlake Canada Inc. o/a Westlake Pipe & Fittings (‘Westlake’). Westlake manufactures pipes, fittings and related building products on its employment lands located at 101, 131 and 155 Regalcrest Court, inclusive of their abutting ‘Open Storage’ property located within the ‘Parkway Belt West Plan’ (‘PBWP’), City of Vaughan. Westlake maintains a land lease with Hydro One Neworks Inc. (‘HONI’) for lands located within the PBWP.

We support HONI’s position on the value and purpose of maintaining the PBWP. However, should revocation of the PBWP occur, it is anticipated that there will be a need for municipal planning updates to ensure seamless land use policy and regulatory conformity with City of Vaughan per Official Plan and Zoning By-law permissions. Therefore, in order to protect Westlake’s lease with HONI, should revocation of the PBWP occur, a transition period is also recommended to allow for any effective and managed provincial and/or municipal policy and regulatory updates to this effect and the use of the lands should not result in a legal non-conforming status per any provincial or municipal planning policies and regulations.
