Tertiary Plan – Project Process

The Study Area

4

• A document based on a detailed land use study that is

prepared for small geographic areas to address:

• Vision for the area
• Land use
• Patterns of development
• Development standards
• Compatibility
• Urban design
• Provides guidance for Council to evaluate development
• applications. Not a statutory document.

What is a Tertiary Plan?

5

Why a Tertiary Plan?

The requirement to prepare a Tertiary Plan for the South Brookside Study Area is in response to:

• 1. The need for guidance on how this area could develop over

time.

• 2. Official Plan Policy Direction
• 3. Bernard Key Development Area (KDA) Planning Study

Recommendations Report

• 4. Current Development Pressure

Official Plan Policy Direction

Tertiary Plan Area Excerpt: Schedule A2 (Land Use) Richmond Hill Official Plan 7

• Study Area designated

“Neighbourhood” and “Natural Core” in the Official Plan 2010 (“OP”)

• OP sets out locational criteria for

medium density residential uses (Policy 4.9.1.2):

– Lands that have frontage onto an arterial street – Lands that have frontage onto a collector street and within walking distance to public transit stop and identified within Tertiary Plan or “priority infill area” – Lands that have frontage onto a local street and in proximity to existing medium density residential and identified within a Tertiary Plan or a “priority infill area”

• Endorsed by Council in July 2017
• Recommended low and

medium-density residential development as appropriate built form for the area which meet OP policy

• Established principles to guide

development of a Tertiary Plan

Bernard KDA Planning Study (Recommendations Report)

16 Northwest Area

• 59 Brookside Road development application

submitted by Yonge MCD Inc. proposing: – high-rise residential apartment buildings (16-29 storeys) – single-detached dwellings – townhouses

• In addition, applications seek to:

– expand the area of the Yonge/Bernard KDA; – refine the boundaries of the Natural Core designation; and – permit high density and medium density residential uses in the Neighborhood designation

• Status:

– Site Specific applications appealed to the OMB

Objective of the South Brookside Tertiary Plan

• To address input from

stakeholders and the community

• To provide a vision for this

community and guide development over the long-term

• To identify the location and

range of building types, street network, and open space that are appropriate for this area

Compatibility Built-Form & Transition

Tertiary Plan Scenarios

• Based on the key principles, a number of concepts have been prepared related to

Streets, Parks and Built-form, including: 1. Streets 2. Parks 3. Built-Form

• We are seeking input to refine the scenarios and establish a preferred scenario for

the Tertiary Plan study area.

• The preferred scenario may result in a combination of elements from the different

scenarios, depending on feedback.
