Town of Innisfil Official PlanMUNICIPAL STRUCTUREagricultural lands.iv)(v)(vi)Alternatives for settlement expansion which protect existing licensed aggregateoperations and/or demonstrate that the proposed expansion will not result in thepreclusion or hindrance of the establishment of new mineral aggregateoperations or access to mineral aggregate resources within high potentialresource areas.A comparative assessment is undertaken to determine the impact of thealternative settlement expansions on agricultural operations adjacent or close tothe alternative settlement expansions, and to show that any impacts from thepreferred expansion are mitigated to the extent feasible.Alternatives for settlement expansion protect significant natural environmentalfeatures, demonstrate that the Natural Heritage System can be maintained andrefined, and minimize the potential impact on the quality or quantity of groundwater and surface water.(vii) Ability to achieve the target employment activity rate set out in Section 2.3.5.(viii)(ix)(x)(xi)(xii)(xiii)(xiv)(xv)The areas considered for expansion form logical extensions of a settlement area,considering both the proposed land uses in the extension areas and existingadjacent uses within the settlement boundary.The areas considered for expansion maintain a functional separation betweencommunities and foster the feeling of separate, identifiable communities.Areas considered for expansion are physically suitable in terms of topography,soil and drainage characteristics.A fiscal impact assessment is undertaken of the current assessment ratios(residential/non-residential) which demonstrates how the options for settlementexpansion will improve the ratio, and how the development can be phased toensure the ratio is improved.The expansion can be serviced by transportation infrastructure, transit, municipalsewage and water services, and storm water management, in an efficient andcost-effective manner.Municipal service priorities, such as community and health care facilities, areadvanced through the preferred settlement expansion.A suitable strategy for the staging, financing and construction of the infrastructurefor the expansion is developed.New residential expansion areas are phased to ensure that new employmentareas can be developed in tandem. In this regard, new residential expansionareas shall not proceed beyond Secondary Plan approval until employment landsexpansion areas have an approved Secondary Plan, an approved servicingstrategy, the required Environmental Assessments for servicing infrastructure arecompleted and a financing strategy is in place.9Adopted July 26, 2006 Approved by OMB May 2009, March 2010 & April 8, 2011
Town of Innisfil Official PlanMUNICIPAL STRUCTURE(xvi)The proposed expansion area offers the most efficient alternative for utilizingexisting community facilities where capacity is available and can provide a fullrange of services to its residents.(xvii) Any area proposed for expansion shall be planned to:• accommodate a compact, transit-supportive form with a mix of uses anddensities,• meet the minimum density target of 50 residents and jobs per gross hectarein conjunction with other designated greenfield areas,• complement the existing Core Commercial Areas,• serve the needs of its population with ample parkland and facilities, and• maximize the use of land, existing infrastructure and community facilities.Appeal # 6 only insofar as it relates to the lands located at the southeast corner of the25 th Sideroad and Mapleview Drive.2.3.10 Planning for infrastructure and public service facilities shall be integrated with theplanning for development, both intensification and greenfield development, to ensurethat public infrastructure and services are available to meet current and projected needswhile being provided in an efficient and cost-effective manner.2.3.11 In identifying intensification areas as per Section 2.3.3 and areas for settlementboundary expansion as per Section 2.3.9, consideration should be given to opportunitiesto optimize existing infrastructure and public service facilities, wherever feasible and costeffective, prior to consideration of new infrastructure and public service facilities.2.4 NATURAL HERITAGE SYSTEMIntent:A Natural Heritage System (NHS) recognizes the interdependence of natural environmentalfeatures and seeks to incorporate them into a single system. Among a number of ecologicalfunctions, an NHS preserves linkages to facilitate the movement of flora and fauna, and protectsand enhances surface and groundwater quality. A Natural Heritage System thus seeks tomaintain ecological linkages among natural heritage features on an ecosystem basis, such thattheir existing functions are maintained or enhanced.The Natural Heritage System, shown on Schedule A, builds upon the County GreenlandsSystem such that it integrates and links local natural heritage features of significance with thebroader County level initiative.The Natural Heritage System represents areas where it is desirable to maintain existing functionand link environmental features within the Town. It is a schematic delineation of where localand regional linkages among natural environment features may exist. Only the larger naturalenvironmental features and those where an apparent linkage to the system exists are identified.Other natural environmental features are included in the Natural Environmental Areadesignation as set out in Section 3.1.10Adopted July 26, 2006 Approved by OMB May 2009, March 2010 & April 8, 2011
