Council Minutes - 4 - October 12, 2004 COMMUNICATIONS i) The Greater Golden Horseshoe Growth Plan initiative should be integrated with other provincial initiatives, such as Planning Reform and Greenbelt Protection, to provide a comprehensive long-term vision for the Provincial Strong Communities agenda; ii) Municipalities face fiscal constraints and limited sources to generate revenue. Innovative and sustained funding sources, including options related to education property taxes and development charges will be required to implement the Growth Plan. Accordingly, the proposed fiscal tools need to be explored in much more detail; iii) The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) should be amended to: a) provide strong direction to permit municipal official plans to protect a sufficient long-term supply of employment lands; and b) include effective policies requiring minimum affordable housing targets for low and moderate income households; iv) The identification of downtown Oshawa and Pickering as priority and emerging urban centres respectively, as a focus for provincial investment is supported. As well, it is important for the Growth Plan also to recognize the surrounding urban area, consistent with the ROP (i.e. Whitby/Oshawa/Courtice Urban Area and Pickering/Ajax Urban Area), which are necessary to sustain the vitality of our 'downtowns'; v) The Pickering airport should be recognized for its potential to become an employment hub and a key component of the transportation system; . . . Council Minutes COMMUNICATIONS - 5 - October 12, 2004 vi) Local circumstances must be considered in the development and application of performance standards and measures.

A provincial commitment to assist in achieving the employment target in Durham is essential; ix) Small towns and rural centres should be recognized as viable 'communities' with assurance that they will continue to receive the necessary funding and tools to maintain their vitality; x) The proposed approach to integrate priority provincial investment into a 1 O-year Strategic Infrastructure Investment Plan must ensure that municipalities retain direct control and responsibility for infrastructure currently within their mandates (i.e. water, waste water, roads, solid waste, etc.). Municipalities must retain control over capital budget investment decisions related to infrastructure for which they are currently financially responsible, to ensure accountability; . .i . Council Minutes COMMUNICATIONS -6- October 12, 2004 xi) The 407 through the Region has long been recognized as an important structural element of the ROP and critical to the Region's future. Accordingly, the Province must give priority for its immediate construction. Consideration should also be given to the extension of Highway 404 as a priority to support the economic vitality of the northern communities; xii) The extension of GO rail service to Bowmanville should be considered. Bowmanville should also be given serious consideration as a possible transit hub for the future interregional transit link between Durham and Peterborough; xiii) There should be a stronger commitment from the Province to champion and support broader Transportation Demand Management initiatives; xiv) The recommendations of the GTA Agricultural Action Plan, endorsed by Regional Council, provides a foundation for agricultural land protection and advancing farming as an industry, and thus should be recognized by the Growth Plan and incorporated in the PPS; xv) The Province should consider building on its partnership with municipalities to gauge the success of, and advise on the evolution of the Growth Plan; and xvi) The docks located at St. Marys Cement, Bowmanville, should be identified as a possible future port within the Greater Golden Horseshoe Transportation Network; b ) THAT the Province also consider the previous submissions from the Region on the Provincial Planning Reform Initiatives, Bill 26 - the Strong Communities Act, Bill 27 - the Greenbelt Protection Act, Smart Growth, Brownfields, the draft Drinking Water Source Protection Act, and the GTA Agricultural Action Plan, as input to the Discussion Paper; and . . .
