(Related to 13.1) 

  • Resolution Number2023-80
    Received

At the request of the Regional Chair, the Commissioner of Public Works provided an overview of the role of Regional Council regarding item 13.1 listed on the February 9, 2023 Regional Council agenda. The Commissioner stated that recent changes to the Planning Act requires the Region of Peel to be the approval authority for local municipal Official Plan Amendments that include policies related to land uses and minimum densities in the protected Major Transit Station Areas (MTSAs), to ensure conformity with the Regional Official Plan (ROP) and consistency with the Provincial Policy and Plans. She stated that following a detailed technical review, staff are satisfied that the Mississauga Official Plan Amendments, with minor modifications as outlined in the subject report, conform to the ROP and meet the minimum densities for the protected MTSAs. She noted that requests to modify the Mississauga Official Plan Amendments regarding limits on maximum heights and changes to land uses designations are local municipal planning decisions.

Peter Gross, Lawyer, Gowling WLG (Canada), on behalf of A. Frank Merulla and 590816 Ontario Inc., provided an overview of lands owned by his client and expressed concerns regarding City of Mississauga Official Plan Amendments 142, 143 and 144. The delegate provided an overview of his clients request for modifications to the Major Transit Station Area Official Plan Amendments.

Members of Regional Council discussed and asked questions regarding the location of a portion of the subject lands in a flood plain with a G zoning; the availability of an appeal process; and which jurisdiction, local or regional, has authority to approve the City of Mississauga Official Plan Amendments.

Regarding the City of Mississauga Major Transit Station Area Official Plan Amendments 
(Related to 13.1 and 14.19) 

  • Resolution Number2023-81
    Received

Peter Gross, Lawyer, Gowling WLG (Canada), on behalf of the Ahmed Group, provided an overview of lands owned by his client and expressed concerns regarding the City of Mississauga Official Plan Amendments. The delegate noted direction from the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to remove maximum height limits within Major Transit Station Areas (MTSAs); the provincial mandate for 120,000 new homes in Mississauga; and the role of the Region of Peel to compare and test conformity to the Region of Peel Official Plan (ROP).

In response to comments regarding conformity to the ROP and timelines, Tara Buonpensiero, Acting Chief Planner and Director of Planning and Development Services, advised that the ROP was adopted in April, 2022, approved by the Province of Ontario in November, 2022 and that the City of Mississauga Official Plan amendments were approved in August, 2022 after adoption of the ROP. The staff report listed as item 13.1 on the February 9, 2023 Council agenda states that there is conformity with the City’s amendments and the ROP.

Presenting the Concerns of the Mississauga Muslim Community Association Regarding the City of Mississauga Official Plan Amendments 142 and 144 (Related to 13.1 and 14.25)

  • Resolution Number2023-82
    Received

John Lohmus, Director, Plan Logic Consulting Inc., on behalf of the Mississauga Muslim Community Association, provided an overview of lands owned by his client and expressed concerns regarding City of Mississauga Official Plan Amendments (OPAs) 142 and 144. He provided an overview of the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing’s modification to the new ROP regarding the removal of a local municipality’s authority to set maximum height limitations within MTSAs. He stated his client’s request that Region of Peel staff modify the City’s OPAs to comply with the provincial mandate.

Members of Regional Council discussed and asked questions regarding intensification currently approved within the Dundas corridor; the potential inability to provide infrastructure to handle the proposed number of units; and which jurisdiction, local or regional, has authority to make the changes requested by the delegate.

In response to a question regarding the province’s revisions to the ROP, the Regional Solicitor advised it is staff’s opinion that the provisions deleted from the ROP do not have the effect of prohibiting maximum heights from being established. The result of the change is that the ROP is silent on the issue. The Planning Act contemplates the ability to implement maximum height restrictions in MTSAs and indicates that such policies are non-appealable.  The legislation therefore contemplates that maximum height restrictions could exist.

Regarding the City of Mississauga Major Transit Station Area Official Plan Amendments 142, 143, 144, and 146: Regional Staff Review and Recommendations (Related to 13.1 and 14.3)

He requested that the OPAs be referred back to the City of Mississauga for further review. 

Regarding the City of Mississauga Major Transit Station Area Official Plan Amendments 143 and 144 (Related to 13.1 and 14.20) 

  • Resolution Number2023-84
    Received

Glen Broll, Managing Partner, Glen Schnarr and Associates Inc., on behalf of Lakeview Community Partners Inc., provided an overview of lands owned by his client and expressed concern that specific maximum height limitations and densities established within the protected Major Transit Station Area policies are not appealable (except by the province) as indicated in section 9 of the staff report listed as item 13.1 on the Regional Council agenda. Any requests for appeal must first be approved by resolution of City Council and there is no process to appeal a resolution. The delegate stated that his client does not require unlimited height, however, is requesting the right to apply for height amendments and that language be added to the Official Plan to provide an appeal process.

Members of Regional Council discussed and asked questions regarding the collaborative work completed by the City of Mississauga Master Plan Committee; and development of the Ontario-wide appeal process by the provincial government. 

Regarding the City of Mississauga Major Transit Station Area Official Plan Amendments 142, 143, 144, and 146 (Related to 13.1 and 14.8)

Mississauga City Council adopted a resolution to approve that settlement.  The staff report listed as item 13.1 on the Council agenda was finalized prior to that settlement. The delegate requested that the subject report be amended to acknowledge the settlement before the final OPA 143, 144 and 146 documents are approved.

Councillor Damerla advised that this is a housekeeping amendment that would be addressed by the City of Mississauga through a planning process which includes the requirement for a community meeting.

Regarding City of Mississauga Major Transit Station Area Official Plan Amendments 142, 143, 144, and 146 (Related to 13.1 and 14.18) 

  • Resolution Number2023-86
    Received

Matthew Helfand, Counsel, Aird and Berlis LLP, on behalf of Almega Asset Management Inc., provided an overview of lands owned by his client. The delegate stated his interpretation of the provincial Minister’s modification to the Regional Official Plan (ROP), Sections 5.6, .9, and .10 e., to mean that local municipalities do not have the authority to prescribe maximum building heights within Major Transit Station Areas.  He stated his opinion that the Planning Act requires that Regional Council determine if the City of Mississauga Official Plan Amendments conform with the ROP. The delegate advised that his client is not advocating for no height limitations, however they request that the prescribed maximum height limitations be removed as was intended by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, or that the matter be referred back to the City of Mississauga for review in light of the Minister’s modification.
