A Section numbered 9.8 and entitled Natural Hazards will be required to contain policies related to natural hazards.

A Schedule numbered 11.10 and entitled  'Schedule C4: Natural and Human-made Hazards' that includes one or more maps identifying the lands in the area to which the official plan applies that could be unsafe for development due to natural hazards and human-made hazards will be required.

While policies and schedules are required on natural hazards, it does not appear that a land use designation and associated uses to be considered is proposed specific to natural hazards. There is a Natural Environment and Water Resource Areas designation which permit conservation uses and such other uses as may be prescribed. There is also a 'Shoreline Areas' designation. It is recommended that a designation for Natural Hazards be listed. It should include uses such as conservation uses and uses that are permitted as per Section 5.2 of the PPS (e.g. minor additions, passive recreation, flood control works).
