(See Item G.4)

I.1

Employment Conversion – V25

WHEREAS, the City of Vaughan and the Region of York Council approved the employment conversion request V25 on the lands then legally described as Part of Lots 4 and 5, Concession 9; and

WHEREAS, the City of Vaughan has since deemed the Huntington Road allowance surplus between Highway 50 and Highway 7. The City of Vaughan Council has stopped up and closed the Huntington Road allowance at its Council meeting on January 10, 2022, through the enactment of City of Vaughan By-law 032-2022; and

WHEREAS, the applicant has since purchased the Huntington Road Allowance from the City of Vaughan; and

WHEREAS, the applicant has further purchased the lands on the south-east corner of Highway 50 and Highway 7, thereby resulting in the consolidation of all lands east of Highway 50 and south of Highway 7 under the applicant’s ownership; and

WHEREAS, the City of Vaughan Council approved the below request at its council meeting of April 26, 2022.
 
THEREFORE it is recommended:

1. That the Region of York approve the corresponding revision to employment conversion request V25 to include the portion of lands legally described as Parts 2, 5 and 12 on Plan 65R-39517 and Part of the Original Road allowance between Concessions 9 and 10 as shown on Attachment A.

WHEREAS, both 20 Roysun Road and 55 Sovereign Court front on to Martin Grove Road and major recreational and institutional uses on the east side; 

WHEREAS, both Roysun Road and Sovereign Court provide proper buffers that separate them from the existing employment area to the west; and

WHEREAS, the City of Vaughan Council approved the below request at its council meeting of April 26, 2022.

THEREFORE it is recommended:

1. That the City of Vaughan Council requests the Region of York approve the corresponding revision to employment conversion request V30 to include 55 Sovereign Court.

I.3

10951 Kipling Avenue

WHEREAS, York Region (the “Region”) is undertaking a Municipal Comprehensive Review (“MCR”) of its Official Plan and intends to approve a new Official Plan at its Council Meeting in June 2022.

WHEREAS, as part of that update, the Region is proposing to designate lands situated in Part of Lots 27 and 28, Concession 7, City of Vaughan, known municipally as 10951 Kipling Avenue which are located on the east side of Kipling Avenue, north of Teston Road (the “Subject Lands”), as “Agricultural Area” in the new Official Plan.

WHEREAS, as the result of outstanding appeals of the York Region Official Plan 2010 and the Vaughan Official Plan 2010 the in-force Regional and local official plan designations applicable to the Subject Lands are “Rural Policy Area” under the 1994 Regional Official Plan and “Rural Use Area” under Vaughan Official Plan Amendment 600, both of which permit recreational uses. The owner of the Subject Lands submitted development applications in 2009 to facilitate private recreational uses consistent with the in-force Official Plans. Under the proposed “Agricultural Area” designation in the new Regional Official Plan, recreational uses are not permitted.

WHEREAS, the Province updated its Agricultural Land Base mapping in 2018 and the Subject Lands are shown as being within a “Prime Agricultural Area” in the 2018 Provincial Mapping.

WHEREAS, the Subject Lands are currently designated as “Protected Countryside – Natural Heritage System” in the Greenbelt Plan (2017).

WHEREAS, as part of the MCR process, the Region has the opportunity to refine the 2018 Provincial Mapping to maintain the currently in-force designation of these lands as “Rural Area” in the new York Region Official Plan.

AND WHEREAS, the Planning Act was amended by Bill 139 to prohibit the appeal of an official plan, such as the new York Region Official Plan, which is approved by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

AND WHEREAS, the owner of the Subject Lands has recently re-submitted extensive background and supporting materials in support of the private recreation
uses and these applications are currently being reviewed by staff at both the Region and the City of Vaughan. It is appropriate and reasonable for that review to continue on a site-specific basis. If the lands are redesignated as “Agricultural Area” within the new Regional Official Plan as proposed, that review could no longer occur.

THEREFORE, be it resolved that: 

1. Regional Council approve the refinement of the Regional Official Plan mapping implementing the 2018 Provincial Mapping to maintain the in-force designation of the Subject Lands by designating the Subject Lands “Rural Area” within the new Region Official Plan.

I.4

11455 Weston Road

WHEREAS, York Region is undertaking a Municipal Comprehensive Review.

THEREFORE it is recommended that:

1. That the property located in Block 34 West, municipally known as 11455 Weston Road in the City of Vaughan, be redesignated to the same land use designation as that of 11421 Weston Road, in the City of Vaughan, being that of ‘Community Area’, given that both parcels are under one ownership.

I.5

Block 66 East – City of Vaughan

WHEREAS, MTO has stopped up and permanently closed Huntington Road at Major Mackenzie Drive;

WHEREAS, Block 66E is immediately adjacent to a built out residential community; and

WHEREAS, these lands can be readily serviced.

THEREFORE it is recommended that: 

1. Specific lands identified on the attached schedule and further described below be designated Community Use Area.
   
   1. Huntington Acres Limited - 10436, 10450 Huntington Road excluding the woodlot area as shown on the attached schedule;
   2. Giampaolo Investments Limited - 10480, 10540 Huntington Road; and, Vincenzo Gagliardi - 10600 Huntington Road.

I.6

11333 Dufferin Street, 11641 Dufferin Street, 11490 Bathurst Street

WHEREAS, the Lands, known as 11333 Dufferin St (100 Acres), 11641 Dufferin St (110 Acres), and 11490 Bathurst St (50 Acres) in the City of Vaughan are deemed transitioned under section 15(2) of Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act (2001);

WHEREAS, parts of the lands are currently designated "Primary Mineral Aggregate Resource Area" in the Region of York Official Plan that the City of Vaughan no longer supports;

WHEREAS, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing issued an order on February 3, 2015 amending the City of Vaughan's Zoning Bylaw for 100 acres of the disputed lands within the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan area to become a "Future Urban Area Zone";

WHEREAS, the remaining lands in dispute are indifferent in both the transitioned status and land form from the lands subject to the Minister's order; and,

WHEREAS, the City of Vaughan has reached a settlement with the landowner, Rizmi Holdings Limited and Lucia Milani, supporting the remaining lands, as described above, for urban development.

THEREFORE, be it resolved that:

1. Staff be directed to enter into a Minutes of Settlement with the landowner, Rizmi Holdings Limited and Lucia Milani, to resolve all remaining disputes in their appeals of the Region of York Official Plan concerning the subject lands as identified in attachment 1 as parcels 1, 2, 3 AND 4 in accordance with the City of Vaughan settlement.
