11 ^.-u APPENDIX '6' Information Summary Official Plan The subject lands are designated as "Residential" and "Valleyland" in the Official Plan. An amendment to the Official Plan is not required. Secondary Plan The subject lands are designated as "Low Density 2 Residential," "Primary Valleyland," "Secondary Valleyland" and "Potential Stormwater Management Pond" in the Credit Valley Secondary Plan. Through the processing of the block plan for Sub-areas 1 and 3 the "Place of Worship" land use designation on the lands located north of Williams Parkway, with frontage on Mississauga Road was relocated to the north-west corner of Williams Parkway and Royal West Drive within the subject lands. This is in conformity to the Secondary Plan policy that states uthe pattern of land use established in Schedule SP45(a) is schematic and may be adjusted in the Block Plan and development approval process, taking into account such matters as the preservation ofnatural vegetation or other environmentally significant features, preservation of heritage resources, stormwater management requirements, detailed land use relationships and street patterns. Minor variations of land use boundaries and the local road pattern shall not require an amendment to this Chapter, provided the intent of the Chapter is maintained." In accordance with the City's Official Plan policy, Secondary Plan areas are to provide for place of worship reserve sites at a rate of 1 site per 10,000 persons. The institutional site in this subdivision is intended to fulfill this requirement for the Credit Valley Secondary Plan. The Region of Peel has expressed an interest in using this site for an Ambulance Reporting Station as it meets their location and timing requirements. The Region has advised that the site is large enough to accommodate a place of worship space in a joint facility. City staff will evaluate this joint facility opportunity in more detail, including ensuring that the place of worship policy can be met in a practical way on this site and confirming whether or not an amendment to the Secondary Plan is required. Staff will also consult with the Brampton Faith Coalition on this matter. Zoning The subject lands are zoned "Agricultural (A)" in the City's Comprehensive Zoning By-law , as amended. An amendment to the Zoning By-law is required to facilitate the proposed residential, open space and floodplain uses.
