Whereas, there is no municipal zoning in place on the Poltawa Country Club lands, because it is subject to Development Control under the Niagara Escarpment Plan;
Whereas, the Niagara Escarpment Commission passed the following motion at their November 29, 2018 meeting:
“Notwithstanding that an amendment to the Town of Caledon Official Plan has not been undertaken to adjust the Terra Cotta Minor Urban Centre (MUC) boundary and that a zoning by-law will need to be passed for the Poltawa Country Club lands to conform to the Niagara Escarpment Plan, the Niagara Escarpment Commission further recommends that development control be lifted on these lands, provided that the Town has put in place the necessary land use controls, by the time that Regulation 826/90 is amended”;
Whereas Town of Caledon Planning and Development would need to complete the technical work to put in place the necessary land use controls (i.e. Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment) for the Poltawa Country Club, in consultation with the Niagara Escarpment Commission, Region of Peel and Credit Valley Conservation, and by the time Regulation 826/90 is amended to remove the Poltawa Country Club from the Niagara Escarpment Plan MUC and Area of Development Control;
Now therefore be it resolved that a capital request be included within the 2020 Budget to fund the Planning and Development work required to put in place the necessary land use controls for the Poltawa Country Club through an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment, including technical studies and consultant fees.
