Purpose of the Report

The purpose of this Planning Justification Report is to outline the nature of the proposed Local Official

Plan and Zoning By-law amendments and to evaluate the proposal in the context of the policies of the

Provincial Policy Statement, the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, the Region of Halton and

the Town of Milton.

Site Description

The subject lands have an area of 2.21 ha and are located at the northwestern quadrant of Bronte Street

South and Louis St. Laurent Avenue. The subject site has a frontage of approximately 130.05 metres along

Bronte Road South with a lot depth of 157.13 metres. The site is currently vacant, flat and has no

significant vegetation.

Driveway Access to the site is granted at Louis St. Laurent Avenue (future signalized) and Bronte Street

South. The former driveway connects Louis St. Laurent to Asleton Boulevard along the subject property’s

western lot line. The latter driveway is a fire route connecting to Bronte Street South along the site’s

northern lot line, dividing the subject lands from the adjacent future medium density residential lands to

the north.

By way of background, the subject lands were part of a larger (11.49 ha) parcel of land owned by Manaman

Centre Inc. Those lands were rezoned (By-law 083-2008) to Secondary Mixed Use Node Special Section

119 (C2*119*H1*H2) and Future Development (FD). Subsequently, portions of the lands were severed

and conveyed to Loblaw Properties Inc. (2.55 ha) and Mattamy (Willmott) Limited (3.80 ha). The former

was the subject of a minor variance with the subject lands, allowing the parcels to be developed as a single

entity. The latter has since been rezoned to RMD2*235, permitting Townhouse and Back-to-Back

Townhouse dwellings.

Surrounding Land Uses

The subject site is located in the south-western limits of the Willmott Neighbourhood of the Sherwood

Survey Planning District (Residential Phase 2 of the Town’s Urban Expansion Area). As shown in Figure 1

– Context Photo, adjacent lands north of Louis St. Laurent Avenue have been developed into medium

density residential, commercial and open space uses. A neighbourhood park is located on the west side

of Asleton Boulevard, approximately 550 metres north of the subject lands. The park terminates at the

Environmental Linkage Area (Union Gas pipeline corridor) which is a part of the greenlands/open space

system for the Sherwood Survey Planning District.

Immediately to the west of the subject lands is the site of a future supermarket owned by Loblaws.

Abutting the Loblaws property to the west and bordering the north/south CN Rail Line is the stormwater

management pond that will serve the subject site. East of the subject property, opposite Bronte Street

South is a commercial complex, served with amenities including a supermarket (Sobeys), a medical centre

and pharmacy, a pet store, banking, a Beer Store and an LCBO.

Lands south of Louis St. Laurent Avenue are part of the Boyne Survey Planning District (Residential Phase

3 of the Town’s Urban Expansion Area). There are currently two existing schools east of Bronte Street

South, including Jean Vanier Catholic Secondary School, which is diagonally opposite the subject lands at

the southeast quadrant of Louis St. Laurent Avenue and Bronte Street South. The lands opposite the

subject property, west of Bronte Street South are existing agricultural lands currently zoned ‘Future

Development’ (FD), designated Secondary Mixed Use Node in the Boyne Survey Secondary Plan.

The subject site is served by the Milton Transit ‘8 Willmott’ Line which provides service to Bronte Street /

Louis St. Laurent Avenue and the Milton GO Station via Main Street, Ontario Street, Derry Road, Bronte

Street, Louis St. Laurent Avenue, Farmstead Drive, McLaughlin Avenue and Santa Maria Boulevard.

Terminating at Milton Go Station, the line also intersects many of the remaining seven transit routes

provided by Milton Transit, making public transit a feasible option for both local and regional commuters.

Proposed Development

Manaman Centre Inc. is proposing to develop the site with three 6-storey buildings. Two of the buildings

will feature retail uses at grade level and five (5) storeys of residential above. The third building will be

completely residential. As illustrated in Figure 2- Conceptual Site Plan, the site layout features three (3)

buildings generally situated along the north (A2), east (A5) and south (A3) property lines. In total, the

proposed development provides 375 residential units, 3,730 m2 of commercial Gross Floor Area, achieving

a net density of 170 units per hectare (uph).

The interior of the site provides grade level commercial parking while the west property line abuts the

shared access route with Loblaws, connecting Louis St. Laurent and Bronte Street South. The site features

a level of underground residential parking as well as storage and recreational amenities. Outdoor amenity

areas are provided, with a featured location at the southeastern corner, abutting the public right-of-way.

It is anticipated that this space will function as a ‘quasi’ public area, and will be designed to invite shoppers

and transit users alike.

Policy Framework

Provincial Policy Statement

The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) contains policies relating to the management and direction of land

uses to achieve efficient development and land use patterns.

Section 1.1.1 states:

“Healthy, livable and safe communities are sustained by:

a) Promoting efficient development and land use patterns which sustain the financial

well-being of the Province and municipalities over the long term; and

b) accommodating an appropriate range and mix of residential (including second units,

affordable housing and housing for older persons), employment (including industrial

and commercial), institutional (including places of worship, cemeteries and long-term

care homes), recreation, park and open space, and other uses to meet long-term

needs;

Policies in the ‘Settlement Areas’ section state:

1.1.3.1 Settlement areas shall be the focus of growth and development, and their vitality and

regeneration shall be promoted.

1.1.3.2 Land use patterns within settlement areas shall be based on:

a) densities and a mix of land uses which:

1. efficiently use land and resources;

2. are appropriate for, and efficiently use, the infrastructure and public service

facilities which are planned or available, and avoid the need for their unjustified

and/or uneconomical expansion.

4. support active transportation;

5. are transit-supportive, where transit is planned, exists or may be developed;

The proposed development conforms with provincial mandate set out in the Provincial Policy Statement

by contributing to compact, mixed use and transit oriented communities within the settlement area. The

development makes efficient use of land, existing infrastructure and public services by redeveloping

Page 8: PLANNING JUSTIFICATION REPORT - Milton€¦ · The purpose of this Planning Justification Report is to outline the nature of the proposed Local Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments

5

underutilized lands. Likewise, the proposal introduces apartment dwellings to the area, diversifying the

residential character of the neighbourhood.

Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe

The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2006) provides the Province with a framework for

building stronger, prosperous communities by better managing growth. The subject site is located within

the ‘Settlement Area’ and is identified as a ‘Designated Greenfield Area’.

Policies of the Designated Greenfield Area include:

2.2.7 Designated Greenfield Areas 1. New development taking place in designated greenfield areas will be planned, designated, zoned

and designed in a manner that – (a) contributes to creating complete communities

(b) creates street configurations, densities, and an urban form that support walking, cycling, and the early integration and sustained viability of transit services

(c) provides a diverse mix of land uses, including residential and employment uses, to support vibrant neighbourhoods

(d) creates high quality public open spaces with site design and urban design standards that support opportunities for transit, walking and cycling.

The proposed development conforms to the aforementioned policies of the Growth Plan for the Greater

Golden Horseshoe by comprising a mix of residential and retail uses that support and promote walking,

cycling and transit use, contributing to the development of complete communities.

Region of Halton Official Plan

The subject lands are designated ‘Urban Area’ in the Halton Official Plan. Policies governing this

designation direct future growth to urban areas. Policies relevant to the proposed development include:

“72(2) To support a form of growth that is compact and supportive of transit

usage and non-motorized modes of travel, reduces the dependence on the

automobile, makes efficient use of space and services, promotes live-work

relationships and fosters a strong and competitive economy;

140. The goal for environmental quality is to achieve a high-quality environment, for this

and future generations, that will sustain life, maintain health and improve the quality

of living;

172(2) To develop a balanced transportation system that:

a) reduces dependency on automobile use;

Page 9: PLANNING JUSTIFICATION REPORT - Milton€¦ · The purpose of this Planning Justification Report is to outline the nature of the proposed Local Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments

6

b) includes safe, convenient, accessible, affordable and efficient public transit

system that is competitive with the private automobile; and

c) promotes active transportation”.

The proposed development conforms to the aforementioned policies of the Halton Region Official Plan

by comprising a mix of dense residential uses that support and promote walking, cycling and transit use

while making efficient use of existing and proposed services.

Town of Milton Official Plan

The subject property is located within the Urban Area and is designated Secondary Mixed Use Node, as

shown Figure 3 – Urban Area Land Use Plan. As per Section (B) 3.6, “the Secondary Mixed Use Node Area

designation shall provide a range of commercial uses to serve the surrounding residential areas, including

a major food store, as well as a location for office and institutional and a full range of residential uses

including low, medium and high densities”.

Additionally, Section 3.6.2.1 states that “The Secondary Mixed Use Node designation on Schedule "B"

means that the main permitted use shall be a group of commercial uses the total size of which ranges

from 9,300 to 13,935 square metres, including a food store, grocery store and supermarket. In addition,

office, institutional and a full range of high density residential uses which are integrated with the

commercial uses will also be permitted. Park uses will also be permitted”.

As such, Section 3.3.3.5 provides policies for High Density Residential Uses and states that “applications

for development of high density residential uses in a Residential/Office Area, or proposed sites for such

uses in Secondary Plans shall be evaluated based on conformity with all the following criteria:

a) Site:

The area of the site is sufficient to provide on-site recreation amenities, adequate parking

facilities and landscape.

b) Mixed Use Development:

The residential uses may form part of a mixed use building or be located in a purpose

designed building.

c) Height:

i) the height of the buildings does not exceed six storeys except in accordance with the

policies of subsection 5.5.3.8 of this Plan; and,

i) the height or bulk of the proposal will not unduly overshadow any adjacent low and

medium residential uses. Shadow studies may be required from the applicant to satisfy

this criteria.

d) Services:

On-site recreation”

As described in the ‘Development Proposal’ section above, the proposed mixed use development is six

storeys in height, complete with outdoor and indoor amenity space. The proposal features a level of

underground parking for residents as well as surface commercial parking within the site. A Shadow Study

has been prepared and submitted as part of this application and found that the proposal will not unduly

overshadow any adjacent low and medium residential uses. Therefore, the proposed development meets

the criteria for High Density Residential Uses in Residential/Office Areas (or proposed sites for such uses

in Secondary Plans).

Sherwood Survey Secondary Plan

The subject property is located within the Willmott Neighbourhood of the Sherwood Survey Secondary

Planning Area. The Sherwood Survey Secondary Plan (OPA 15) was prepared and adopted by Council in

on July 26, 2004. The Secondary Plan was designed to create a safe, livable, attractive and healthy

community, that has a strong sense of community and the environment by: ensuring connectivity; linkage

to greenlands and open space; the development of community facilities; ensuring sensitivity to the

Niagara Escarpment; and the development of a compact community that is pedestrian oriented and

supportive of transit.

As shown on Figure 4 –Sherwood Survey Secondary Plan Land Use Plan, the subject property is designated

‘Secondary Mixed Use Node’. In addition to the uses permitted in Section 3.6 (described above), lands in

the Sherwood Survey Secondary Mixed Use Node may be used for Medium Density I and II Residential

uses in accordance with the policies of Section 3.2. The relevant policy is 3.2.2 c):

“c) Medium Density attached residential uses categorized as Medium Density Residential

II such as stacked townhouses and apartments at a maximum density of 70 units per net

hectare in accordance with the policies of subsection 3.2.3.2”;

The proposal achieves a density of 170 uph, which can be categorized as High Density Residential.

Likewise, Section 3.2.3.2 c) prescribes a maximum height of four storeys, whereas the proposal features

six storeys. Thus, a Local Official Plan Amendment will be required to permit the proposed increased

height and density.

Boyne Survey Secondary Plan - Secondary Mixed Use Node

As noted previously, the lands immediately south of Louis St. Laurent Avenue on both sides of Bronte

Street South are also designated Secondary Mixed Use Node (Figure 5 - Boyne Survey Secondary Plan Land

Use Plan). The intent is to develop one large node centred on the intersection of Bronte Street South and

Louis St. Laurent Avenue.

The Secondary Mixed Use Node of the Boyne Survey Secondary Plan is subject to the following policies:

C.10.5.5.1 The Secondary Mixed Use Nodes shall generally develop in accordance with the

policies of Section B.3.6, however:

a) Single storey commercial buildings may be permitted; however, commercial

development with additional height and density is strongly encouraged;

b) Residential development shall be limited predominately to high density residential

uses in accordance with the policies of Section C.10.5.1.4;

C.10.5.1.4 High Density Residential Uses

Applications for development of apartment buildings in the High Density Residential use

category shall be evaluated based on conformity with all of the following criteria:

a) Site: i) The area of the site is sufficient to provide appropriate on-site

recreation and/or open space amenities, adequate parking

facilities and landscaping.

ii) The site is generally located abutting an arterial road to facilitate

access to public transit.

b) Mixed Use Development:

The residential uses may form part of a mixed use building or be located

in a purposely designed building.

c) Height and Density:

i) Buildings shall have a minimum height of three storeys and a

minimum FSI of 1.0, with a maximum height of 15 storeys and a

maximum FSI of 3.0; and,

ii) The height or bulk of the proposal will not unduly overshadow any

adjacent low and medium density residential uses. Shadow

studies may be required from the applicant to satisfy this criterion.

d) In addition to the policies of B.3.6.3.4, development shall reflect the following:

iii) Buildings should be located on or close to the street line and massed at

intersections to establish a strong street edge;

iv) For mixed use buildings, pedestrian traffic generating activities, particularly

retail commercial uses and restaurants, shall be located at grade level, with

residential and office uses in upper storey locations;

Although not within the Boyne Survey Secondary Planning Area, the development proposal is consistent

with the criteria set out in C.10.51.4, apartment buildings in the High Density Residential Use category.

The proposed development provides adequate parking, recreational and amenity space, is located at the

intersection of two arterial roads and is served well by public transit. Likewise, the proposed development

is mixed-use and high density.

Discussion

The proposal is consistent with Section (B) 3.6 of the Official Plan, Secondary Mixed-Use Node, stating that

the ‘Secondary Mixed Use Node Area’ designation shall “provide a range of commercial uses to serve the

surrounding residential areas, including a major food store, as well as a location for office and institutional

and a full range of residential uses including low, medium and high densities”. Given that the subject

property abuts the location of the future Loblaws food store, the existing commercial uses east of Bronte

Street South and the Secondary Mixed Use designation south of Louis St. Laurent Avenue (including Jean

Vanier Catholic Secondary School), we believe the proposed mixed use buildings are well situated and

represent good planning.

It is the intention of the Town to develop the intersection of Bronte Road South and Louis St. Laurent

Avenue as one large Mixed Use Node. However, the boundary between the Sherwood Survey and Boyne

Survey Secondary Plan areas is Louis St. Laurent Avenue. By way of background, the Sherwood Survey

Secondary Plan was adopted by Council on July 26, 2004. Comparatively, the Boyne Survey Secondary

Plan was adopted by Council on August 24, 2015. The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (as

discussed above) was not adopted by the Province until 2006. As such, the policies of the Sherwood

Survey Secondary Plan are outdated and do not contemplate the density targets prescribed by the Growth

Plan, whereas the policies of the Boyne Survey Secondary Plan do. Thus, the proposed Official Plan

Amendment more appropriately reflects prevailing Provincial policy.

Official Plan Amendment

In order to permit the proposed development, it is requested that the Official Plan of the Town of Milton

be amended as follows:

Map changes

• Amending Schedule I1 – ‘Urban Area Specific Policy Areas’ by adding Specific Policy Area No. XX to the

subject property.

Page 16: PLANNING JUSTIFICATION REPORT - Milton€¦ · The purpose of this Planning Justification Report is to outline the nature of the proposed Local Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments

10

Text Change

Adding the following text to Section 4.11 ‘Specific Policy Area’:

• 4.11.3.XX Notwithstanding Section 3.2.2.c), The land identified as Specific Policy Area No. XX on

Schedule I1 of this Plan, being the lands at 1050, 1060, 1070, 1080 & 1090 Bronte Road South may be

developed to provide mixed use buildings of up to 6 storeys in height and with a residential density

of up to 185 units per hectare. The Draft Official Plan Amendment is appended to this report as

‘Appendix I’.

Zoning

Existing Zoning The subject lands are currently zoned Secondary Mixed Use Commercial Special Section 119 (C2*119) and

permits a range of commercial uses, but does not permit any residential uses. As previously discussed,

the abutting property to the west owned by Loblaw Properties Ltd. (Loblaws), is also zoned C2*119. By

way of background, under a previous arrangement by the property owners, the two lots were to be

developed together. As such, a minor variance was required (D13 (A1-16/008/M) to allow multiple lots

under separate ownership to be developed as a single lot for the purpose of administering the Zoning By-

law. At the pre-consultation, we were advised that in order for Manaman Centre Inc. to develop the

subject lands as a separate parcel from Loblaws, a new minor variance would be required. Subsequent

discussions with Town staff culminated in the agreement that a ‘housekeeping’ Minor Variance

application would be submitted on behalf of Loblaw Properties Inc. to address details of the new

development arrangement. Manaman Centre Inc. has discussed the development proposal with Loblaws

and they do not object. Likewise, site specific standards are proposed in the Draft Amending Zoning By-

law for the subject development proposal.

Proposed Zoning

The proposal seeks to rezone the subject lands to a new site specific Residential High Density Special

Section Zone (RHD*AAA) in order to permit the proposed mixed-use development. The draft zoning by-

law is appended to this report as Appendix 1.

Planning Opinion

The proposed Local Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments are justified and represent good planning

for the following reasons:

1. The proposal conforms to the Provincial Policy Statement, Growth Plan for the Greater Golden

Horseshoe and the Regional Official Plan and is consistent with the objectives to the Town of

Milton Official Plan;

2. The proposal introduces apartment dwellings to the area, diversifying the residential character of

the neighbourhood;

3. The proposal includes a mix of commercial and residential uses;

4. The proposal complements and benefits from many of the adjacent commercial, cultural and

recreational amenities;

5. The proposed development makes efficient use of existing and planned hard and soft services;

6. The subject lands are well served by public transit, providing local and regional connections; and

7. The proposed densities are consistent with those contemplated in Section 3.6 – Secondary Mixed

Use Node, of the Town of Milton Official Plan.

Respectfully submitted,
