The surrounding land uses are primarily agricultural and rural residential to the south and west and industrial to the north and east. Please see Schedule B Aerial Photograph, attached. The Region of Peel s Official Plan designates the lands as Rural Service Centre (Bolton) on Schedule D Regional Structure. The Town s Official Plan designates the lands as Prestige Industrial, General Industrial and Environmental Policy Area and within the Coleraine West Employment Area. The subject lands are zoned Agricultural (A1), Small Agricultural Holding (A3) and Environmental Policy Area 2 (EPA2) in Zoning By-law , as amended.

OPA 243 is now in full force and effect. The Town of Caledon has initiated a Zoning By-law Amendment application to rezone the same portion of lands from Agricultural (A1), Small Agricultural Holding (A3) and Environmental Policy Area 2 to Prestige Industrial Exception (MP-XX), Serviced Industrial (MS-X)and Environmental Policy Area 1 (EPA-1) to permit industrial uses and site specific standards, in keeping with the policies of OPA 243. There is no development proposed at this time and Site Plan Approval will be required prior to development of the lands. Page 1 of 3
