BACKGROUND
Origin
The Vales North Secondary Plan (Area 49) is bounded by Mayfield Road to the north Countryside Drive to the south Goreway Drive to the east and the west branch of the West Humber River to the west Both the North Airport RoadIndustrial and MayfieldGoreway Drive Special Study Areas are located within Secondary Plan Area 49
A corridor flanking Airport Road south of Mayfield Road is designated Industrial with a Special Study overlay in the Official Plan A small area at the northwest corner of Mayfield Road and Goreway Drive is also designated Special Study Area with an underlying Residential designation
North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area
As part of the implementation of the Vales North Secondary Plan a corridor fronting lands on both sides of Airport Road extending south from Mayfield Road to the edge of the valley associated with the West Humber River was designated IndustrialSpecial Study Area in the Citys Official Plan Policies with respect to this designation require that the City undertake a study to determine if the demand for prestige industrial or commercial use is strong enough to ensure that the area can be developed in a manner that is consistent with adjacent upscale housing community
gtgtl5-3 Existing land uses within the North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area include a gas bar and convenience restaurant at the southwest corner of Airport Road and Mayfield Road St Marys Cemetery the Sikh Heritage Centre and a number of residential dwellings fronting on Mayfield Road and Airport Road A small industry (JB Aluminum Products) is located at the southeast comer of the Study Area
A site plan application was submitted to the City in September 2004 to redevelop the Sikh Heritage Centre into a new 4925 sq m (53000 sqft) community centre with related uses Processing of the site plan is ongoing as a number of technical issues will need to be addressed by the applicant before its approval
In February 2012 Punjabi Community Health Services a not-for-profit organization which provides a variety of health and community services received approval from the Committee of Adjustment to allow a Community Health Centre with associated offices accessory recreational activities and a commercial school (tutoring) at 11730 Airport Road The variance is permitted for a temporary period of three years subject to site plan approval obtaining a building permit filing an application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-Law as well as approval of access arrangements to Airport Road from the Region of Peel
The former Tullamore Village Blacksmith Shop located at 11850 Airport Road has been identified as a Category A heritage resource for which a heritage designation and adaptive reuse is recommended as part of the Citys Heritage Inventory Two rural residences on the east side of Airport Road have also been identified as built heritage features by the City and are recommended for heritage designation and retention In May 2005 Council directed heritage staff to designate all heritage cemeteriesburial grounds including St Marys Anglican cemetery (Tullamore) near Airport Road

bvs-^ The valley associated with the west branch of the West Humber River abuts the west side of the North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area West of the valley are lands that fall within the Countryside Villages Secondary Plan which are designated for predominantly residential uses
On the east side the Study Area is adjacent to the Vales of Castlemore North executive housing community North of Mayfield Road in the Town of Caledon is the Tullamore IndustrialCommercial Secondary Plan which permits a mix of industrial and commercial uses in the Mayfield Road and Airport Road area This area recently saw the construction of a major warehouse distribution centre comprising 12 million square feet on the east side of Airport Road one kilometre north of Mayfield Road In addition a multiple industrial building located on the west side of Airport Road opposite the distribution centre was recently constructed
The Town of Caledon is in receipt of a private application to amend the lands at the northeast corner of Airport Road and Mayfield Road from Highway Commercial and General Industrial to Highway Commercial with Special Provisions and General Industrial with Special Provisions to permit a wide range of retail and service commercial uses (maximum 25000 sq m)
While no specific tenants are committed to the site at this time it is expected that the centre will be anchored by a Home and Automotive Supply Store Home Improvement Centre or potentially a warehouse membership club as well as a supermarket
This application has been circulated to the City of Brampton for comments and is currently under review by city staff
Mayfield RoadGoreway Drive Special Study Area
The Mayfield RoadGoreway Drive Special Study Area is located at the southwest corner of Goreway Drive and Mayfield Road It is relatively small in size about 67 acres and abuts the Salt Creek Valley on the south and west sides The Official Plan with respect to this Special Study Area require that a study be undertaken to determine if the demand for specific forms of residential institutional or commercial uses or a mix of these uses can be developed within this Study Area in a manner that is compatible with the adjacent executive housing community
View to the southeast from Mayfield Road
The Mayfield RoadGoreway Drive Special Study Area includes three existing residential properties The stone house located at the southwest corner of Goreway Drive and Mayfield Road is classified as a Class A heritage feature in the Citys Heritage Inventory
Previous Studies
Hemsons Vales North Special Study Area - Land Use Study (2006)
In January 2006 the City retained Hemson Consulting to complete a comprehensive land use study that included a market and planning assessment urban design guide lines and transportation recommendations for both Special Study Areas
Preliminary land use options for the North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area focused on relatively small-scale industrial and institutional uses and local area serving commercial uses
The preliminary proposal for the Mayfield RoadGoreway Drive Special Study Area included institutional uses such as a place of worship day care facility or private school and limited specialty retail
In response to the concerns expressed by the area residents at an open house held in 2007 about industrial uses and given Hemsons identification of the area as not being suitable to accommodate large employment uses staff used the Citys Growth Plan Conformity review to assess the viability of North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area for employment uses
Market Demand and Development Feasibility Study for Employment Lands (2010)
Cushman ampWakefield Ltd was retained by the City to investigate the market demand for employment lands within the City extending to the year 2031 The study provides an evaluation of fouremployment designated areas of the City including the North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area
The report concluded that the Airport Road area will be challenged to attract traditional employment uses particularly because of the limited amount and physical configuration of the land Also the adjacent residential uses will constrain the potential range of industrial users that could be attracted to the area The report further concludes that the subject lands are unlikely to be a strong industrial area although local serving industrial multiples may represent an opportunity for small locally oriented enterprises
OP2006-043
The Growth Plan Conformity Recommendation Report submitted to Planning Design and Development Committee at the February2010 meeting
recommended policy directions for the Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment based on the Cushman and Wakefield Market Demand Study for Employment Lands The recommendations recognize that there is a potential for the North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area to accommodate local serving industrial multiples and population serving employment activity Given the findings of the study OP2006-43 redesignated the Airport Road Special Study Area from Industrial to Business Corridor in Section 413 Special Study Area and included a policy that prohibited the development of a District Centre in this area OP2006-43 was endorsed by Council but is still under review by the Region of Peel
The revised policy for the Special Study Area will be addressed as part of the report dealing with the Regions modifications to OP2006-043 anticipated for Council review in early 2013
Conceptual Development Plan (east side of Airport Road)
Planning staff are in receipt of a conceptual development plan submitted by Candevcon Ltd on behalf of several of the owners on the east side of Airport Road The concept plan shows how all the properties south of Mayfield Road and east of Airport Road could be developed with a mix of retail offices and service employment uses The size of the proposed development is within the general range of a District Retail centre A Planning Justification Report Retail Market DemandAnalysisand Industrial Needs Assessment were submitted to the City to support the proposal These studies concluded that there is sufficient demand for commercial uses on the subject lands and only limited opportunities for industrial uses
The northern portion of the site is proposed for mainly commercial development with small scale retail buildings such as retailoffice restaurants and banks as well as two larger format retail users The southern portion of the site which is currently zoned Industrial would be primarily developed with service employment uses The proposed plan considers that the existing industrial building (JB Aluminum) will remain
Staff completed a preliminary review of Candevcons proposal and find that it represents an appropriate type of development for this area

BACKGROUND
Origin
The Vales North Secondary Plan (Area 49) is bounded by Mayfield Road to the north Countryside Drive to the south Goreway Drive to the east and the west branch of the West Humber River to the west Both the North Airport RoadIndustrial and MayfieldGoreway Drive Special Study Areas are located within Secondary Plan Area 49
A corridor flanking Airport Road south of Mayfield Road is designated Industrial with a Special Study overlay in the Official Plan A small area at the northwest corner of Mayfield Road and Goreway Drive is also designated Special Study Area with an underlying Residential designation
North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area
As part of the implementation of the Vales North Secondary Plan a corridor fronting lands on both sides of Airport Road extending south from Mayfield Road to the edge of the valley associated with the West Humber River was designated IndustrialSpecial Study Area in the Citys Official Plan Policies with respect to this designation require that the City undertake a study to determine if the demand for prestige industrial or commercial use is strong enough to ensure that the area can be developed in a manner that is consistent with adjacent upscale housing community
gtgtl5-3 Existing land uses within the North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area include a gas bar and convenience restaurant at the southwest corner of Airport Road and Mayfield Road St Marys Cemetery the Sikh Heritage Centre and a number of residential dwellings fronting on Mayfield Road and Airport Road A small industry (JB Aluminum Products) is located at the southeast comer of the Study Area
A site plan application was submitted to the City in September 2004 to redevelop the Sikh Heritage Centre into a new 4925 sq m (53000 sqft) community centre with related uses Processing of the site plan is ongoing as a number of technical issues will need to be addressed by the applicant before its approval
In February 2012 Punjabi Community Health Services a not-for-profit organization which provides a variety of health and community services received approval from the Committee of Adjustment to allow a Community Health Centre with associated offices accessory recreational activities and a commercial school (tutoring) at 11730 Airport Road The variance is permitted for a temporary period of three years subject to site plan approval obtaining a building permit filing an application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-Law as well as approval of access arrangements to Airport Road from the Region of Peel
The former Tullamore Village Blacksmith Shop located at 11850 Airport Road has been identified as a Category A heritage resource for which a heritage designation and adaptive reuse is recommended as part of the Citys Heritage Inventory Two rural residences on the east side of Airport Road have also been identified as built heritage features by the City and are recommended for heritage designation and retention In May 2005 Council directed heritage staff to designate all heritage cemeteriesburial grounds including St Marys Anglican cemetery (Tullamore) near Airport Road
View north along Airport Road view south along east side of Airport Road
bvs-^ The valley associated with the west branch of the West Humber River abuts the west side of the North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area West of the valley are lands that fall within the Countryside Villages Secondary Plan which are designated for predominantly residential uses
On the east side the Study Area is adjacent to the Vales of Castlemore North executive housing community North of Mayfield Road in the Town of Caledon is the Tullamore IndustrialCommercial Secondary Plan which permits a mix of industrial and commercial uses in the Mayfield Road and Airport Road area This area recently saw the construction of a major warehouse distribution centre comprising 12 million square feet on the east side of Airport Road one kilometre north of Mayfield Road In addition a multiple industrial building located on the west side of Airport Road opposite the distribution centre was recently constructed
The Town of Caledon is in receipt of a private application to amend the lands at the northeast corner of Airport Road and Mayfield Road from Highway Commercial and General Industrial to Highway Commercial with Special Provisions and General Industrial with Special Provisions to permit a wide range of retail and service commercial uses (maximum 25000 sq m)
While no specific tenants are committed to the site at this time it is expected that the centre will be anchored by a Home and Automotive Supply Store Home Improvement Centre or potentially a warehouse membership club as well as a supermarket
This application has been circulated to the City of Brampton for comments and is currently under review by city staff
Mayfield RoadGoreway Drive Special Study Area
The Mayfield RoadGoreway Drive Special Study Area is located at the southwest corner of Goreway Drive and Mayfield Road It is relatively small in size about 67 acres and abuts the Salt Creek Valley on the south and west sides The Official Plan with respect to this Special Study Area require that a study be undertaken to determine if the demand for specific forms of residential institutional or commercial uses or a mix of these uses can be developed within this Study Area in a manner that is compatible with the adjacent executive housing community
View to the southeast from Mayfield Road
The Mayfield RoadGoreway Drive Special Study Area includes three existing residential properties The stone house located at the southwest corner of Goreway Drive and Mayfield Road is classified as a Class A heritage feature in the Citys Heritage Inventory
Previous Studies
Hemsons Vales North Special Study Area - Land Use Study (2006)
In January 2006 the City retained Hemson Consulting to complete a comprehensive land use study that included a market and planning assessment urban design guide lines and transportation recommendations for both Special Study Areas
Preliminary land use options for the North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area focused on relatively small-scale industrial and institutional uses and local area serving commercial uses
The preliminary proposal for the Mayfield RoadGoreway Drive Special Study Area included institutional uses such as a place of worship day care facility or private school and limited specialty retail
In response to the concerns expressed by the area residents at an open house held in 2007 about industrial uses and given Hemsons identification of the area as not being suitable to accommodate large employment uses staff used the Citys Growth Plan Conformity review to assess the viability of North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area for employment uses
Market Demand and Development Feasibility Study for Employment Lands (2010)
Cushman ampWakefield Ltd was retained by the City to investigate the market demand for employment lands within the City extending to the year 2031 The study provides an evaluation of fouremployment designated areas of the City including the North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area
The report concluded that the Airport Road area will be challenged to attract traditional employment uses particularly because of the limited amount and physical configuration of the land Also the adjacent residential uses will constrain the potential range of industrial users that could be attracted to the area The report further concludes that the subject lands are unlikely to be a strong industrial area although local serving industrial multiples may represent an opportunity for small locally oriented enterprises
OP2006-043
The Growth Plan Conformity Recommendation Report submitted to Planning Design and Development Committee at the February2010 meeting
recommended policy directions for the Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment based on the Cushman and Wakefield Market Demand Study for Employment Lands The recommendations recognize that there is a potential for the North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area to accommodate local serving industrial multiples and population serving employment activity Given the findings of the study OP2006-43 redesignated the Airport Road Special Study Area from Industrial to Business Corridor in Section 413 Special Study Area and included a policy that prohibited the development of a District Centre in this area OP2006-43 was endorsed by Council but is still under review by the Region of Peel
The revised policy for the Special Study Area will be addressed as part of the report dealing with the Regions modifications to OP2006-043 anticipated for Council review in early 2013
Conceptual Development Plan (east side of Airport Road)
Planning staff are in receipt of a conceptual development plan submitted by Candevcon Ltd on behalf of several of the owners on the east side of Airport Road The concept plan shows how all the properties south of Mayfield Road and east of Airport Road could be developed with a mix of retail offices and service employment uses The size of the proposed development is within the general range of a District Retail centre A Planning Justification Report Retail Market DemandAnalysisand Industrial Needs Assessment were submitted to the City to support the proposal These studies concluded that there is sufficient demand for commercial uses on the subject lands and only limited opportunities for industrial uses
The northern portion of the site is proposed for mainly commercial development with small scale retail buildings such as retailoffice restaurants and banks as well as two larger format retail users The southern portion of the site which is currently zoned Industrial would be primarily developed with service employment uses The proposed plan considers that the existing industrial building (JB Aluminum) will remain
Staff completed a preliminary review of Candevcons proposal and find that it represents an appropriate type of development for this area

bvs-^ The valley associated with the west branch of the West Humber River abuts the west side of the North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area West of the valley are lands that fall within the Countryside Villages Secondary Plan which are designated for predominantly residential uses
On the east side the Study Area is adjacent to the Vales of Castlemore North executive housing community North of Mayfield Road in the Town of Caledon is the Tullamore IndustrialCommercial Secondary Plan which permits a mix of industrial and commercial uses in the Mayfield Road and Airport Road area This area recently saw the construction of a major warehouse distribution centre comprising 12 million square feet on the east side of Airport Road one kilometre north of Mayfield Road In addition a multiple industrial building located on the west side of Airport Road opposite the distribution centre was recently constructed
The Town of Caledon is in receipt of a private application to amend the lands at the northeast corner of Airport Road and Mayfield Road from Highway Commercial and General Industrial to Highway Commercial with Special Provisions and General Industrial with Special Provisions to permit a wide range of retail and service commercial uses (maximum 25000 sq m)
While no specific tenants are committed to the site at this time it is expected that the centre will be anchored by a Home and Automotive Supply Store Home Improvement Centre or potentially a warehouse membership club as well as a supermarket
This application has been circulated to the City of Brampton for comments and is currently under review by city staff
Mayfield RoadGoreway Drive Special Study Area
The Mayfield RoadGoreway Drive Special Study Area is located at the southwest corner of Goreway Drive and Mayfield Road It is relatively small in size about 67 acres and abuts the Salt Creek Valley on the south and west sides The Official Plan with respect to this Special Study Area require that a study be undertaken to determine if the demand for specific forms of residential institutional or commercial uses or a mix of these uses can be developed within this Study Area in a manner that is compatible with the adjacent executive housing community
View to the southeast from Mayfield Road
The Mayfield RoadGoreway Drive Special Study Area includes three existing residential properties The stone house located at the southwest corner of Goreway Drive and Mayfield Road is classified as a Class A heritage feature in the Citys Heritage Inventory
Previous Studies
Hemsons Vales North Special Study Area - Land Use Study (2006)
In January 2006 the City retained Hemson Consulting to complete a comprehensive land use study that included a market and planning assessment urban design guide lines and transportation recommendations for both Special Study Areas
Preliminary land use options for the North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area focused on relatively small-scale industrial and institutional uses and local area serving commercial uses
The preliminary proposal for the Mayfield RoadGoreway Drive Special Study Area included institutional uses such as a place of worship day care facility or private school and limited specialty retail
In response to the concerns expressed by the area residents at an open house held in 2007 about industrial uses and given Hemsons identification of the area as not being suitable to accommodate large employment uses staff used the Citys Growth Plan Conformity review to assess the viability of North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area for employment uses
Market Demand and Development Feasibility Study for Employment Lands (2010)
Cushman ampWakefield Ltd was retained by the City to investigate the market demand for employment lands within the City extending to the year 2031 The study provides an evaluation of fouremployment designated areas of the City including the North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area
The report concluded that the Airport Road area will be challenged to attract traditional employment uses particularly because of the limited amount and physical configuration of the land Also the adjacent residential uses will constrain the potential range of industrial users that could be attracted to the area The report further concludes that the subject lands are unlikely to be a strong industrial area although local serving industrial multiples may represent an opportunity for small locally oriented enterprises
OP2006-043
The Growth Plan Conformity Recommendation Report submitted to Planning Design and Development Committee at the February2010 meeting
recommended policy directions for the Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment based on the Cushman and Wakefield Market Demand Study for Employment Lands The recommendations recognize that there is a potential for the North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area to accommodate local serving industrial multiples and population serving employment activity Given the findings of the study OP2006-43 redesignated the Airport Road Special Study Area from Industrial to Business Corridor in Section 413 Special Study Area and included a policy that prohibited the development of a District Centre in this area OP2006-43 was endorsed by Council but is still under review by the Region of Peel
The revised policy for the Special Study Area will be addressed as part of the report dealing with the Regions modifications to OP2006-043 anticipated for Council review in early 2013
Conceptual Development Plan (east side of Airport Road)
Planning staff are in receipt of a conceptual development plan submitted by Candevcon Ltd on behalf of several of the owners on the east side of Airport Road The concept plan shows how all the properties south of Mayfield Road and east of Airport Road could be developed with a mix of retail offices and service employment uses The size of the proposed development is within the general range of a District Retail centre A Planning Justification Report Retail Market DemandAnalysisand Industrial Needs Assessment were submitted to the City to support the proposal These studies concluded that there is sufficient demand for commercial uses on the subject lands and only limited opportunities for industrial uses
The northern portion of the site is proposed for mainly commercial development with small scale retail buildings such as retailoffice restaurants and banks as well as two larger format retail users The southern portion of the site which is currently zoned Industrial would be primarily developed with service employment uses The proposed plan considers that the existing industrial building (JB Aluminum) will remain
Staff completed a preliminary review of Candevcons proposal and find that it represents an appropriate type of development for this area

bvs-^ The valley associated with the west branch of the West Humber River abuts the west side of the North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area West of the valley are lands that fall within the Countryside Villages Secondary Plan which are designated for predominantly residential uses
On the east side the Study Area is adjacent to the Vales of Castlemore North executive housing community North of Mayfield Road in the Town of Caledon is the Tullamore IndustrialCommercial Secondary Plan which permits a mix of industrial and commercial uses in the Mayfield Road and Airport Road area This area recently saw the construction of a major warehouse distribution centre comprising 12 million square feet on the east side of Airport Road one kilometre north of Mayfield Road In addition a multiple industrial building located on the west side of Airport Road opposite the distribution centre was recently constructed
The Town of Caledon is in receipt of a private application to amend the lands at the northeast corner of Airport Road and Mayfield Road from Highway Commercial and General Industrial to Highway Commercial with Special Provisions and General Industrial with Special Provisions to permit a wide range of retail and service commercial uses (maximum 25000 sq m)
While no specific tenants are committed to the site at this time it is expected that the centre will be anchored by a Home and Automotive Supply Store Home Improvement Centre or potentially a warehouse membership club as well as a supermarket
This application has been circulated to the City of Brampton for comments and is currently under review by city staff
Mayfield RoadGoreway Drive Special Study Area
The Mayfield RoadGoreway Drive Special Study Area is located at the southwest corner of Goreway Drive and Mayfield Road It is relatively small in size about 67 acres and abuts the Salt Creek Valley on the south and west sides The Official Plan with respect to this Special Study Area require that a study be undertaken to determine if the demand for specific forms of residential institutional or commercial uses or a mix of these uses can be developed within this Study Area in a manner that is compatible with the adjacent executive housing community
View to the southeast from Mayfield Road
The Mayfield RoadGoreway Drive Special Study Area includes three existing residential properties The stone house located at the southwest corner of Goreway Drive and Mayfield Road is classified as a Class A heritage feature in the Citys Heritage Inventory
Previous Studies
Hemsons Vales North Special Study Area - Land Use Study (2006)
In January 2006 the City retained Hemson Consulting to complete a comprehensive land use study that included a market and planning assessment urban design guide lines and transportation recommendations for both Special Study Areas
Preliminary land use options for the North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area focused on relatively small-scale industrial and institutional uses and local area serving commercial uses
The preliminary proposal for the Mayfield RoadGoreway Drive Special Study Area included institutional uses such as a place of worship day care facility or private school and limited specialty retail
In response to the concerns expressed by the area residents at an open house held in 2007 about industrial uses and given Hemsons identification of the area as not being suitable to accommodate large employment uses staff used the Citys Growth Plan Conformity review to assess the viability of North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area for employment uses
Market Demand and Development Feasibility Study for Employment Lands (2010)
Cushman ampWakefield Ltd was retained by the City to investigate the market demand for employment lands within the City extending to the year 2031 The study provides an evaluation of fouremployment designated areas of the City including the North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area
The report concluded that the Airport Road area will be challenged to attract traditional employment uses particularly because of the limited amount and physical configuration of the land Also the adjacent residential uses will constrain the potential range of industrial users that could be attracted to the area The report further concludes that the subject lands are unlikely to be a strong industrial area although local serving industrial multiples may represent an opportunity for small locally oriented enterprises
OP2006-043
The Growth Plan Conformity Recommendation Report submitted to Planning Design and Development Committee at the February2010 meeting
recommended policy directions for the Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment based on the Cushman and Wakefield Market Demand Study for Employment Lands The recommendations recognize that there is a potential for the North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area to accommodate local serving industrial multiples and population serving employment activity Given the findings of the study OP2006-43 redesignated the Airport Road Special Study Area from Industrial to Business Corridor in Section 413 Special Study Area and included a policy that prohibited the development of a District Centre in this area OP2006-43 was endorsed by Council but is still under review by the Region of Peel
The revised policy for the Special Study Area will be addressed as part of the report dealing with the Regions modifications to OP2006-043 anticipated for Council review in early 2013
Conceptual Development Plan (east side of Airport Road)
Planning staff are in receipt of a conceptual development plan submitted by Candevcon Ltd on behalf of several of the owners on the east side of Airport Road The concept plan shows how all the properties south of Mayfield Road and east of Airport Road could be developed with a mix of retail offices and service employment uses The size of the proposed development is within the general range of a District Retail centre A Planning Justification Report Retail Market DemandAnalysisand Industrial Needs Assessment were submitted to the City to support the proposal These studies concluded that there is sufficient demand for commercial uses on the subject lands and only limited opportunities for industrial uses
The northern portion of the site is proposed for mainly commercial development with small scale retail buildings such as retailoffice restaurants and banks as well as two larger format retail users The southern portion of the site which is currently zoned Industrial would be primarily developed with service employment uses The proposed plan considers that the existing industrial building (JB Aluminum) will remain
Staff completed a preliminary review of Candevcons proposal and find that it represents an appropriate type of development for this area
Planning Area
The Vales North Secondary Plan (Area 49) is bounded by Mayfield Road to the north Countryside Drive to the south Goreway Drive to the east and the west branch of the West Humber River to the west Both the North Airport RoadIndustrial and MayfieldGoreway Drive Special Study Areas are located within Secondary Plan Area 49

The preliminary proposal for the Mayfield RoadGoreway Drive Special Study Area included institutional uses such as a place of worship day care facility or private school and limited specialty retail
In response to the concerns expressed by the area residents at an open house held in 2007 about industrial uses and given Hemsons identification of the area as not being suitable to accommodate large employment uses staff used the Citys Growth Plan Conformity review to assess the viability of North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area for employment uses
Market Demand and Development Feasibility Study for Employment Lands (2010)
Cushman ampWakefield Ltd was retained by the City to investigate the market demand for employment lands within the City extending to the year 2031 The study provides an evaluation of fouremployment designated areas of the City including the North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area
The report concluded that the Airport Road area will be challenged to attract traditional employment uses particularly because of the limited amount and physical configuration of the land Also the adjacent residential uses will constrain the potential range of industrial users that could be attracted to the area The report further concludes that the subject lands are unlikely to be a strong industrial area although local serving industrial multiples may represent an opportunity for small locally oriented enterprises
OP2006-043
The Growth Plan Conformity Recommendation Report submitted to Planning Design and Development Committee at the February2010 meeting
recommended policy directions for the Growth Plan Official Plan Amendment based on the Cushman and Wakefield Market Demand Study for Employment Lands The recommendations recognize that there is a potential for the North Airport RoadIndustrial Special Study Area to accommodate local serving industrial multiples and population serving employment activity Given the findings of the study OP2006-43 redesignated the Airport Road Special Study Area from Industrial to Business Corridor in Section 413 Special Study Area and included a policy that prohibited the development of a District Centre in this area OP2006-43 was endorsed by Council but is still under review by the Region of Peel
The revised policy for the Special Study Area will be addressed as part of the report dealing with the Regions modifications to OP2006-043 anticipated for Council review in early 2013
Conceptual Development Plan (east side of Airport Road)
Planning staff are in receipt of a conceptual development plan submitted by Candevcon Ltd on behalf of several of the owners on the east side of Airport Road The concept plan shows how all the properties south of Mayfield Road and east of Airport Road could be developed with a mix of retail offices and service employment uses The size of the proposed development is within the general range of a District Retail centre A Planning Justification Report Retail Market DemandAnalysisand Industrial Needs Assessment were submitted to the City to support the proposal These studies concluded that there is sufficient demand for commercial uses on the subject lands and only limited opportunities for industrial uses
The northern portion of the site is proposed for mainly commercial development with small scale retail buildings such as retailoffice restaurants and banks as well as two larger format retail users The southern portion of the site which is currently zoned Industrial would be primarily developed with service employment uses The proposed plan considers that the existing industrial building (JB Aluminum) will remain
Staff completed a preliminary review of Candevcons proposal and find that it represents an appropriate type of development for this area
