The purpose of the…

The purpose of the submission is to request an adjustment to the Transit Station Area for the future Grimsby/Casablanca GO station. Notwithstanding that no formal amendments to Greenbelt Plan mapping or policy are necessary, the adjustment must be initiated by the Province since lands affected are within the Greenbelt.
As a result of further analysis and planning it has been determined that the area identified as Transit Station Area is constrained relative to on-site transit-oriented development potential. As such, it is now warranted to expand the limits of the Transit Station Area to also include the Future Station Transit Area to afford the opportunity for a more comprehensive and holistic development scenario as contemplated by the Secondary Plan.
The adjustment to the Transit Station Area limits to include the Future Transit Station Area must be initiated by the Province as the local planning authorities do not have jurisdiction in this regard.
It is noted that the adjustment to include the Future Transit Station Area does not impact Greenbelt Policies or Mapping as Transportation Infrastructure and Transit Station Areas are already an approved land use by the Greenbelt Plan.
