I am concerned that density targets in section 2.3 Settlement Areas and Settlement Area Boundary Expansions have been lowered from previous density targets and are not required for all municipalities. I believe 50 residents and jobs per hectare are too low. Fast growing municipalities is also not included. In section 4.1 it is unclear what no negative impacts on the natural features or their ecological functions. I would like to see wetland guidelines included. I also don’t believe any provincially significant wetlands should be developed. I also believe that adjacent lands should include all land 500 meters from a wetland. I don’t like that municipal approaches will determine the adjacent lands as this will lead to hundreds of different approaches which may weaken wetland protection policies. I also agree with the Canadian Environmental Law Association that the PPS or the Growth Plan did not need to be changed to address housing. I also believe that Periodically soaked or wet lands being used for agricultural purposes which no longer exhibit wetland characteristics should be defined as wetlands.
