Accordingly, the new Region of York Official Plan, as modified and approved by the Minister, came into effect on November 4, 2022.
The new official plan applies to all lands within the Region of York.
Effets de la consultation
Public consultation on the adopted Official Plan was undertaken over 30 days, from September 8, 2022 to October 8, 2022.
As a result of public consultation, the Ministry received a total of 34 comments through the Environmental Registry of Ontario and 23 comments by email or mail.
The comments came from a wide variety of stakeholders and individuals.
Several submissions from individuals and environmental organizations expressed concerns regarding the proposed settlement area expansions into the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan area. Modifications to the Official Plan have deleted the proposed expansion areas.
Comments related to adding additional Urban Area, converting Employment Areas, adding site-specific development policies, development phasing and servicing, and identifying new or revised major transit station areas were also received. Modifications were made to the Official Plan to address these requests, including settlement area expansions in the Township of King, City of Markham and Whitchurch-Stouffville, an Employment Area conversion in City of Vaughan, and the expansion of two major transit station areas.
Comments related to land use compatibility were also received. A number of modifications were made to the Official Plan to ensure sensitive land uses and major facilities are appropriately located and planned for, and consideration for the impacts of advancing urban areas on agricultural operations.
Other comments received were deemed out-of-scope, were not consistent with the PPS or did not conform with the applicable provincial plans.
All comments were carefully considered and analyzed as part of the Minister’s decision.
