Wednesday, May 15, 2013 3.00 pm – 8.00 pm

Peel Art Gallery Museum and Archives - PAMA 9 Wellington Street East, Brampton 1

PROPOSALS PRESENTED AT OPEN HOUSE #1 - FEBRUARY 2012 : Establish planning framework to transform portions of the

Hurontario-Main Corridor from auto-oriented uses to a mixed-use (commercial/residential), compact, intensified development;

Prohibit outdoor storage and new auto-oriented uses such as gas bars, auto-repairs and drive-throughs;

Establish minimum and maximum building heights

Establish density ranging from 2 times to 4 times the site area.

Public comments were generally supportive of City’s plan for long term transit-oriented development of the Corridor.

Impact of dedicating two existing lanes for LRT was a major public concern.

OPEN HOUSE #2 - MAY 2013:

City’s planning proposals presented at this Open House include the following updates:

Lands around the future extension of Malta Ave to Steeles Ave have been added to Secondary Plan Area, in accordance with the Hurontario-Main Corridor Master Plan recommendations.

Hurontario/Main Street, from Nanwood Drive to the south City limit proposed as a 50-55 metre right-of-way (ROW) from the present 36 metre ROW, in order to accommodate wider sidewalks, segregated bicycle lanes and landscaping on both sides of the ROW, where feasible.

THE CITY PROPOSES TO PRE-ZONE KEY SITES

10

The City’s proposal will: permit mixed uses, including residential, retail, office,

institutional etc.

establish minimum building height of 3 storeys (11 metres) and maximum building height of 78 metres.

permit densities that range from 2 to 4 times the site area.

establish minimum continuous building frontage that range from 70% - 75%.

establish building setbacks that range from 0 to 5 metres.

prohibit outdoor storage and new auto-oriented uses such as gas bars, auto repairs and drive-throughs.

The proposal includes the following zoning regulations: retail uses at ground level at key locations to create a

pedestrian-oriented streetscape. height transition to minimize impact on surrounding

neighbourhoods. reduced parking standards to promote transit use. prohibit surface parking between street edge and front wall of

new buildings. bicycle parking to be provided on site.

The City’s proposals are intended to implement the long term planning vision for the Hurontario/Main Corridor Secondary Plan.

The proposed zoning by-law includes a Holding zone (H)* provision that requires a minimum building height of 2 storeys and a maximum building height of 4 storeys, and generally allows existing permissions subject to requiring setbacks and continuous building frontage as proposed in the pre-zoning.

Lifting of the Holding (H) symbol requires approval of a Functional Servicing Report (FSR)** and fulfillment of one of the following conditions:

• commitment of funding for development of higher order transit on the Hurontario Corridor, and may also require a Traffic Impact Study, or,

• requirement of a Traffic Impact Study, if there is no funding commitment for the development of higher order transit on the Hurontario Corridor.

* A holding provision specifies the uses to which lands, buildings or structures may be put until such time when the holding provision is removed by a zoning by-law amendment.

** An FSR deals with stormwater management, water supply and sanitary servicing.
