1 May 24, 2018 Town of Milton Planning & Development Department 150 Mary Street Milton, ON L9T 6Z5 Attention: Chris Lupis, MCIP, RPP Director, Development Review Re: Planning Justification Report Update Application for Official Plan Amendment & Zoning By-law Amendment Jacal Holding Ltd. (Hodero Holdings Ltd.) 130 Thompson Road South File: LOPA-03/16 & Z-12/16 Mr. Lupis, Please accept this update to our Planning Justification Report, submitted (December 2016), GGH Addendum dated July 25, 2017 and Community Services Addendum dated October 18, 2017 in support of Local Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications. As the 2017 update to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe came into effect on July 1, 2017, we would like to provide additional information, specifically relating to intensification targets within the built boundary, Urban Growth Centre and Major Transit Station/Mobility Hub Area. Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017) The 2017 Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe update was released on May 18, 2017 and came into effect on July 1, The update builds on previous iterations policies to manage growth, build complete communities, curb sprawl and protect the natural environment. Relatedly, the new Growth Plan establishes more aggressive intensification and density targets within the built boundary and major transit station areas. Section 2.1 (Context) states that better use of land and infrastructure can be made by directing growth to settlement areas and prioritizing intensification, with a focus on strategic growth areas, including urban growth centres and major transit station areas, as well as brownfield sites and greyfields (p ). The below relevant policies demonstrate how the proposed development achieves this.

2 1.2.1 Guiding Principles Prioritize intensification and higher densities to make efficient use of land and infrastructure and support transit viability Delineated Built-up Areas 1. By the year 2031, and for each year thereafter, a minimum of 60 per cent of all residential development occurring annually within each upper- or single-tier municipality will be within the delineated built-up area. 2. By the time the next municipal comprehensive review is approved and in effect, and each year until 2031, a minimum of 50 per cent of all residential development occurring annually within each upper- or single-tier municipality will be within the delineated built-up area. 3. Until the next municipal comprehensive review is approved and in effect, the annual minimum intensification target contained in the applicable upper- or single-tier official plan that is approved and in effect as of July 1, 2017 will continue to apply. Per Section 2.2.2, the Provincial directive moving forward states that by 2031, a minimum of 60% of all development occurring annually must be within the delineated built-up area (delineated built boundary). The updated Growth Plan also prescribes stronger policies regarding Urban Growth Centres and transportation supportive areas, including: Urban Growth Centres 1. Urban growth centres will be planned: a. As focal areas for investment in regional public service facilities, as well as commercial, recreational, cultural, and entertainment uses; b. To accommodate and support the transit network at the regional scale and provide connection points for inter- and intra-regional transit; c. To serve as high-density major employment centres that will attract provincially, nationally, or internationally significant employment uses; and d. To accommodate significant population and employment growth. 1. Urban growth centres will be planned to achieve, by 2031 or earlier, a minimum density target of: 2

3 a. 400 residents and jobs combined per hectare for each of the urban growth centres in the City of Toronto; b. 200 residents and jobs combined per hectare for each of the Downtown Brampton, Downtown Burlington, Downtown Hamilton, Downtown Milton, Markham Centre, Downtown Mississauga, Newmarket Centre, Midtown Oakville, Downtown Oshawa, Downtown Pickering, Richmond Hill Centre/Langstaff Gateway, Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, Downtown Kitchener, and Uptown Waterloo urban growth centres; and c. 150 residents and jobs combined per hectare for each of the Downtown Barrie, Downtown Brantford, Downtown Cambridge, Downtown Guelph, Downtown Peterborough and Downtown St. Catharines urban growth centres Transit Corridors and Station Areas 1. The priority transit corridors shown in Schedule 5 will be identified in official plans. Planning will be prioritized for major transit station areas on priority transit corridors, including zoning in a manner that implements the policies of this Plan. 2. For major transit station areas on priority transit corridors or subway lines, upper- and single-tier municipalities, in consultation with lower-tier municipalities, will delineate the boundaries of major transit station areas in a transit-supportive manner that maximizes the size of the area and the number of potential transit users that are within walking distance of the station. 3. Major transit station areas on priority transit corridors or subway lines will be planned for a minimum density target of: a. 150 residents and jobs combined per hectare for those that are served by the GO Transit rail network. 8. All major transit station areas will be planned and designed to be transit-supportive and to achieve multimodal access to stations and connections to nearby major trip generators by providing, where appropriate: a. connections to local and regional transit services to support transit service integration; b. infrastructure to support active transportation, including sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and secure bicycle parking; and c. commuter pick-up/drop-off areas. 9. Within all major transit station areas, development will be supported, where appropriate, by: 3

4 a. planning for a diverse mix of uses, including second units and affordable housing, to support existing and planned transit service levels; b. fostering collaboration between public and private sectors, such as joint development projects; c. providing alternative development standards, such as reduced parking standards; and d. prohibiting land uses and built form that would adversely affect the achievement of transit-supportive densities. 10. Lands adjacent to or near to existing and planned frequent transit should be planned to be transit-supportive and supportive of active transportation and a range and mix of uses and activities. 11. In planning lands adjacent to or near higher order transit corridors and facilities, municipalities will identify and protect lands that may be needed for future enhancement or expansion of transit infrastructure, in consultation with Metrolinx, as appropriate. Priority Transit Corridors are defined as Transit corridors shown in Schedule 5 or as further identified by the Province for the purpose of implementing this Plan. It can be interpreted as higher order transit that has all day, two-way service. Higher Order Transit is defined as Transit that generally operates in partially or completely dedicated rights-of-way, outside of mixed traffic, and therefore can achieve levels of speed and reliability greater than mixed-traffic transit. Higher order transit can include heavy rail (such as subways and inter-city rail), light rail, and buses in dedicated rights-of-way. As shown on Figure 1 Schedule 5 to GGH 2017, the Milton GO Line is not a Priority Transit Corridor as all-day, two-day service is currently not provided. That said, as the subject lands are within the Urban Growth Centre, the greater density requirement of 200 people and jobs per hectare apply. Additionally, as described below, the Milton GO Line is planned to provide all-day, two-way service in the future. As demonstrated above, the updated Growth Plan builds on the mandated intensification targets of the 2013 Growth Plan by prescribing increased intensification targets within the built boundary and major transit station areas. The proposed development conforms with the Provincial policy set out by the updated Growth Plan. 4

5 The proposed development conforms to the aforementioned policies of the updated Growth Plan as it will significantly contribute to the achievement of Downtown Milton s minimum density target of 200 people and jobs per hectare. The proposal intensifies underutilized lands within the Urban Growth Centre, is highly transit and pedestrian supportive and will mitigate auto-dependence and vehicular trips. Metrolinx - Milton GO Station Improvements On November 15, 2017 the Ministry of Transportation announced improvement plans for Milton GO redevelopment and expansion, including: A new station building; An upgraded parking lot with an additional 850 parking spaces, bringing the total to approximately 2,300 spaces; Reconfiguration of the parking lot layouts, bus loop, and passenger pick-up/drop-offs; Accessible connections to train and bus platforms; Upgraded platforms and infrastructure to support future layover of trains; and Improved pedestrian connections and bicycle storage. Relatedly, it has come to our attention that Metrolinx will cease to construct multi-level parking structures at GO Stations. We acknowledge that many of the above noted improvements are warranted and will contribute to healthy and complete community building within the Urban Growth Centre/Major Transit Station Area. However, we would argue that increased surface parking (not structures) within the Major Transit Station Area is not an efficient use of land, will adversely affect the achievement of transitsupportive densities and is contradictory to many of the Growth Plan policies cited above. Thus, the intensification of the subject lands is significant if Milton is to achieve the minimum density targets as it will help offset the land displaced by the new future GO station parking lot. Metrolinx Regional Transportation Plan (2018) In 2008, the Province released The Big Move, its first Regional Transportation Plan, which acknowledged the Urban Growth Centres identified in the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The goal set forth in The Big Move is to provide a regional transportation network connecting the urban growth centres by providing all-day, two-way transit service. As per The Big Move, the Milton GO Line was meant to have all-day, two-way transit service within the first 15 years (by 2023). However, updates to The Big Move in 5

6 2013 postponed the delivery of all-day, two-way service between Milton Station and Meadowvale Station to 2033 (within 25 years). In March 2018, Metrolinx s Board of Directors approved its 2041 Regional Transportation Plan (2018). The 2041 RTP is the second Regional Transportation Plan developed by Metrolinx, which builds on the success of The Big Move (2008). As shown on Map 5 (Figure 2), the Milton GO Line is identified as part of the Proposed 2041 Frequent Rapid Transit Network and is identified as 15-minute GO Service from Union Station to Milton GO on Appendix 3D (Appendix I). The proposed development compliments the 2041 Regional Transportation Plan. Future residents will benefit from the planned all-day, two-way rail service which will contribute to reduced automobile dependency, increase pedestrian presence and act as a catalyst for further intensification within the Milton Urban Growth Centre. Halton Region Regional Official Plan Amendment 38 (ROPA 38) ROPA 38 (2009) put the Region of Halton s Official Plan into conformance with the 2006 Growth Plan. As prescribed by the Growth Plan (2006), ROPA 38 identifies Milton s: Built Boundary; Urban Growth Centre; Intensification Areas; and Mobility Hub (Major Transit Station Area, i.e., Milton GO Station). As shown on Map 1 Regional Structure (Figure 3), the subject lands are within the Town of Milton s Built Boundary. Table 2 Intensification and Density Targets (Appendix II), lists the minimum number of new housing units to be added to the Built-up Area between 2015 and For Milton, the minimum number of new housing units is 5,300. The minimum number for Halton Region as a whole is 32,200, which represents 40 per cent of the new residential units to be constructed within Halton Region s built boundaries over the same planning horizon. 6

7 Relevant Regional Official Plan polices include: 75. The Urban Area is planned to accommodate the distribution of population and employment for the Region and the four Local Municipalities as shown in Table 1 and the Regional phasing as shown in Table 2a. 77. (2.1) Direct, through Table 2 and Table 2a, to the Built-Up Area a minimum of 40 per cent of new residential development occurring annually within Halton in 2015 and every year thereafter. Section defines Intensification Areas as lands identified by the Region or its Local Municipalities within the Urban Area that are to be the focus for accommodating intensification. Intensification Areas include Urban Growth Centres, Major Transit Station Areas (including Metrolinx-designated Mobility Hubs), Intensification Corridors, and Mixed Use Nodes. Relevant sections on Intensification Areas include: 78. The objectives of the Intensification Areas are: 1. To provide an urban form that is complementary to existing developed areas, uses space economically, promotes live-work relationships, fosters social interaction, enhances public safety and security, reduces travel by private automobile, promotes active transportation, and is environmentally more sustainable. 2. To provide opportunities for more cost efficient and innovative urban design. 3. To provide a range of employment opportunities, facilities and services in centralized locations that are readily accessible by public transit. 4. To provide a diverse and compatible mix of land uses, including residential and employment uses, to support neighborhoods. 6. To cumulatively attract a significant portion of population and employment growth. 8. To support transit and active transportation for everyday activities. 9. To generally achieve higher densities than the surrounding areas. 11. For Major Transit Station Areas and Intensification Corridors: a) To achieve increased residential and employment densities in order to ensure the viability of existing and planned transit infrastructure and service. 7

8 b) To achieve a mix of residential, office, institutional and commercial development, where appropriate. c) For Major Transit Station Areas, to provide access from various transportation modes to the transit facility, including consideration of, but not limited to, pedestrians, bicycle routes and bicycle parking, commuter pick-up/drop-off areas, carpool parking, car share vehicles, and parking/recharging stations for electric vehicles. 80. Intensification Areas are parts of the Urban Area and consist of: 1. Urban Growth Centres, which are shown as an overlay on top of the Urban Area on Map 1, subject to specific policies in addition to those for Intensification Areas, 2. Major Transit Station Areas (including Metrolinx-designated Mobility Hubs) as identified on Map 1 and Map 3 and/or in Local Official Plans, which generally consist of areas within 500 m of the Major Transit Station 81. It is the policy of the Region to: 1. Direct development with higher densities and mixed uses to Intensification Areas The objectives of the Urban Growth Centres, as shown on Map 1, are: 1. To serve as focal areas for investment in institutional and region-wide public services, as well as commercial, recreational, cultural and entertainment uses. 2. To accommodate and support major transit infrastructure. 3. To serve as high density major employment centres that will attract provincially, nationally or internationally significant employment uses. 4. To accommodate a significant share of population and employment growth The Urban Growth Centres are parts of Intensification Areas, which in turn are parts of the Urban Area and therefore are subject to the objectives and policies for both Intensification Areas and the Urban Area. The boundaries of the Urban Growth Centres as shown on Map 1 are to be interpreted in accordance with Section 52 of this Plan. 8

9 81.3 It is the policy of the Region to: 1. Require Urban Growth Centres to achieve a minimum development density target of 200 residents and jobs combined per gross hectare by 2031 or earlier. 2. Require Local Official Plans to show how the development density target for Urban Growth Centres under Section 81.3(1) can be met, including the submission to the Region of any supporting background documentation. Housing 84. The goal for housing is to supply the people of Halton with an adequate mix and variety of housing to satisfy differing physical, social and economic needs. 86. It is the policy of this Region to: 6. Adopt the following housing targets: a. That at least 50 per cent of new housing units produced annually in Halton be in the form of townhouses or multi-storey buildings. Transportation 172. The objectives of the Region are: 2. To develop a balanced transportation system that: a. Reduces dependency on automobile use; b. Includes a safe, convenient, accessible, affordable and efficient public transit system that is competitive with the private automobile; and c. Promotes active transportation. (9.1) To ensure development is designed to support active transportation and public transit. (9.2) To integrate transportation planning, land use planning, and investment in infrastructure. (10) To promote land use patterns and densities that foster strong live-work relationships and can be easily and effectively served by public transit and active transportation. Figure 3 - Map 1 Regional Structure also identifies the subject lands as within the Mobility Hub/Major Transit Station Area. Section defines Mobility Hubs as: 9

10 Major Transit Station Areas (MTSA s) that are designated by Metrolinx as regionally significant given the level of transit service that is planned for them and the development potential around them. They are places of connectivity between rapid transit services, and also places where different modes of transportation, from walking to high-speed rail, come together. They have, or are planned to have a concentration of mixed use development around a major transit station. Given the high level of transit service at or forecasted for Mobility Hubs relative to other MTSAs, it is recommended that the Mobility Hub areas receive a commensurately higher level of development intensity and design consideration that supports transit and multi-modal travel than what may be applied in other MTSAs. As demonstrated above, ROPA 38 has implemented the intensification policies of the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe by identifying Milton s built boundary, urban growth centre and major transit station area/mobility hub, intensification areas and mandating minimum intensification targets within the built boundary. By intensifying the Urban Growth Centre / Major Transit Station Area, the proposed development will significantly contribute to achieving the prescribed minimum of 5,300 new residential units within Milton s Built-up area by Additionally, the proposal will contribute to the achievement of the prescribed minimum of 50 per cent of new housing units produced annually in Halton be in the form of townhouses or multi-storey buildings. Town of Milton Major Transit Station Area/Mobility Hub Study In February 2018, the Town requested bids to conduct a multi-disciplinary study of the Milton Major Transit Station Area/Mobility Hub to guide future development and intensification in the area. On April 9, 2018, Town Council awarded the bid to R.E. Millward & Associates / DTAH. The study is due for completion by the third quarter of The study is a significant component of planning for intensification. It will provide a local vision to influence the Region s Official Plan Review, inform the Town s own Official Plan Review, provide the evidence base and policy framework for the preparation of an area specific Secondary Plan and also support the business case for all-day, two-way GO rail service. The Major Transit Station Area/Mobility Hub study represents an acknowledgement by Council and Staff that Milton s Official Plan is outdated and not in conformance with Provincial intensification policies. 10

11 Town of Milton Tall Building Guidelines On May 7, 2018, Town Council endorsed the Milton Mid Rise and Tall Building Guidelines prepared by Planning and Development Staff. The Town has proactively developed these design guidelines to aid the integration of these types of developments into communities. They are recognition of the Province s emphasis on urban intensification and increasing developer interest in pursuing mid-rise and tall buildings in Milton. By clarifying the Town s expectations for the design of tall buildings, it is intended that the guidelines will assist with the interpretation of Official Plan policies and provide a clear design direction for development proposals. Developers are encouraged to have regard to the guidelines and Development Review staff will use them to evaluate development proposals. An Urban Design Brief has been prepared in support of this development proposal and demonstrates conformity with the Tall Building Guidelines. Conclusion In addition to the rationale presented in the Planning Justification Report that was originally submitted in support of this development application, the residential intensification proposal at 130 Thompson Road South contributes to achieving the intensification and density targets for the Urban Growth Centre and Major Transit Station Area prescribed by the Growth Plan. Likewise, it contributes to achieving a minimum of 5,300 new residential units within Milton s built-up area by 2031, as mandated by the Region. Additionally, the proposal intensifies underutilized lands within the urban growth centre, is highly transit and pedestrian friendly, will reduce automobile dependency and will help strengthen the business case for all-day, two-way GO rail service. 11
