Subject: Planning & Development Committee Meeting of Monday, July 3, 2018

Agricultural Impact Assessment Guidance Document

3• Mayor Fred Eisenberger, City of Hamilton, Regarding a Renewed
Commitment to the Greenbelt
That the following Town of Oakville resolution, regarding a Renewed Commitment
to the Greenbelt, be endorsed by the Municipality of Clarington:
Whereas, the Greenbelt is an integral component of land use planning that
complements the Growth Plan to encourage smart planning, the reduction of
sprawl, protection of natural and hydrological features and agricultural lands;
and
Whereas, the Greenbelt has protected 1.8 million acres of farmland, local
food supplies, the headwaters of our rivers and important forests and wildlife
habitat for over 12 years; and
Whereas, a permanent Greenbelt is an important part of the planning for
sustainable communities; and
Whereas, there is a tremendous amount of land already planned and
available in excess of the development needs of the GTA without weakening
the protections provided by the Greenbelt; and

Garington Planning & Development Committee
Report to Council
Whereas, efforts to open the Greenbelt create the opportunity for land
speculators to build expansive homes, at immense profits, in remote areas;
and
Whereas, opening the Greenbelt will move the urban boundary thus creating
more sprawl and increased traffic; and
Whereas, the costs of sprawl result in increased taxes, because 25% of the
costs of sprawl are downloaded to existing property tax payers; and
Whereas programs like the proposed inclusionary zoning regulations will
assist municipalities in advancing the supply of affordable housing stock
without the need to expand the built boundary;
Whereas the Town of Oakville was the originator of the Urban River Valley
designation;
Therefore be it resolved,
That the Town of Oakville stand with its municipal neighbours to undertake
continued action to maintain and grow the current Greenbelt; and
That the province be strongly urged to extend Greenbelt protection to
include the appropriate whitebelt lands within the inner ring, lands that are
the most immediately vulnerable to development in the province; and
That this resolution be distributed to the leaders of all parties represented in
the Legislature, the Minister of Municipal Affairs, all Greater Golden
Horseshoe municipalities, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario,
Environmental Defence, Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation and members
of Municipal Leaders for the Greenbelt.
4• Request from Torgan for an exemption from the two year freeze on
submitting an amendment to the Clarington Official Plan

Whereas Bowmanville Creek Developments Inc. (Torgan) wishes to amend the
