Whereas the Bolton Residential Expansion Study (BRES) is a land use planning process that was commenced in 2012 by the Town of Caledon to determine where to accommodate additional population growth outside of the Bolton settlement boundary;
Whereas in 2014 Town Council endorsed Option #3, an area north of King Street, west of the Canadian Pacific (CP) Rail and east of The Gore Road as the preferred growth area, following a comprehensive public process designed to implement the 2031 growth numbers assigned to the Town by the Region of Peel;
Whereas in 2014 The Town submitted its application to amend the Region of Peel Official Plan (ROPA) to expand the current Bolton Settlement Boundary on the Option #3 lands;
Whereas in 2016 Peel Regional Council considered Caledon’s Regional Official Plan Amendment (ROPA) application and adopted ROPA no. 30, being an amendment to expand the Rural Service Centre for Bolton in the Regional Official Plan in the areas identified as Option #6 and the Triangle Lands. Option #6 lands are located west of the Bolton Rural Service Centre, south of Healey Road, east of Humber Station Road and north of Mayfield Road;
Whereas new and existing members of Council will benefit from receiving the chronology and an update regarding this matter;
Now therefore be it resolved that outside legal counsel be invited to a future Planning and Development to provide Council with an update regarding the BRES file before June 2019.
