Purpose and Effect of Halton Hills Official Plan Amendment 63:
The purpose of Draft Official Plan Amendment 63 is to establish a Protected Major Transit Station Area (PMTSA) in close proximity to the Georgetown GO Station, in accordance with section 16(15) of the Planning Act. Policies for the proposed PMTSA will:

Identify a minimum density target (people and jobs per hectare) for the PMTSA;
Identify land use designations and permitted uses within the PMTSA; and,
Identify minimum densities and maximum height permissions for land uses within the PMTSA.

The PMTSA boundary and policies identified in Draft Official Plan Amendment 63 were developed in accordance with section 2.4.2 of the Provincial Planning Statement.

Purpose and Effect of Halton Hills Official Plan Amendment 64:
The purpose of Draft Official Plan Amendment 64 is to establish a revised Georgetown GO Station Area/Mill Street Corridor Secondary Plan that will guide land use and future development in the Secondary Plan Precincts outside of the PMTSA. Using the Council-endorsed Preferred Land Use Plan, the Secondary Plan will implement policies, objectives and guidelines that respect the existing natural heritage and established character of the Precincts within the Secondary Plan area, outside of the PMTSA.

No decisions will be made at this meeting. (BOLD) Town staff will report back to Council at a later date seeking approval of the Official Plan Amendments.
