20 THE NEW TANNER THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 2011 ACTON DOWNTOWN AREA LAND USE POLICY REVIEW NOTICE OF PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE AND STATUTORY PUBLIC MEETING Town of Halton Hills Council and staff encourage you to attend the second public open house and/or statutory public meeting for the Acton Downtown Area Land Use Policy Review which is being held to discuss a draft amendment to the Town of Halton Hills Official Plan which proposes changes to the boundary and land use policies for Downtown Acton. As part of the review, a number of boundary options and land uses were evaluated for Downtown Acton. Based on the evaluation and public and stakeholder comments, an expansion to the boundary of Downtown Acton is proposed (shown as a red dashed line on the map). Within Downtown Acton, there are three land use designations proposed as follows: The Downtown Core Sub-Area (shown in blue on the map) is proposed to continue to allow a wide range of commercial, residential, cultural and social uses. The Acton Downtown Complementary Sub-Area (shown in purple on the map) is predominantly residential today and it is proposed that this area could accommodate a limited range of small scale commercial and residential uses within the existing buildings as long as the character of the area was maintained and the residential areas are not negatively affected. The Acton Downtown Redevelopment Sub-Area (shown in orange on the map) is to be the location for townhouses, low rise apartments, and commercial uses in the vicinity of the future GO Train Station.
