Council adopts 20-year blueprint for growth By Dianne Cornish Two planning documents, which will help shape commercial and residential development in Georgetown and Acton over the next two decades, were approved by town council at a special meet- ing last Tuesday night. The Acton Urban Area Residential Implementation Study and the Halton Hills Urban Area Study were adopted with amendments at the close of the five-hour meeting. The former study serves as a guideline for consideration of draft plans of subdivision in Acton as dictated by servicing capacities identified by Halton Region. The latter study, authored by a Toronto firm of planning consultants called Walker, Nott, Dragicevic Associates Limited, sets the frame- work fofresidential and commer- cial development in Halton Hills up until the Year 2011. Both docu- ments are designed to clearly illus- trate to residents and developers which areas of town are designated for future development, either com- mercially or residentially. The scale of proposed development is also indicated in the studies. The two biggest projects on the commercial development front are the proposed mixed commercial and residential development plans for the Dominion Gardens property on Guelph Street, Georgetown and Coscan’s proposed commercial shopping centre to be built east of Churchill Road and south of Highway 7, Acton. A new land use designation will be applied to the Dominion Gardens property to allow for mixed use development that will incorporate up to 230,000 square feet of retail commercial floor- space, pulliples family residential _#uses, parkland, community facili- ties and mat uses. The town will retain development control for the lands to ensure compatible-integra- tion of its commercial and residen- tial components. Commercial development on the site will be timed in direct response to real population growth in Georgetown. The Coscan property will be des- ignated as Community Commercial Area, allowing for up to 30,000 square feet of food store space and 45,000 square feet of department store space.

The Urban Area Study also des- ignates Freure Management lands, where the old Ajax building is located in Acton, as a Neighborhood Commercial Area, allowing a 17,500-square-foot com- mercial development, specifically excluding supermarket and depart- ment store uses. Most of Georgetown’s future res- idential growth is expected to take place in Georgetown South, Georgetown West and in proximity to the GO Transit station. Last week, council designated as medium density, a portion of lands off Guelph Street in the Mill Street and Dayfoot Drive area. At the same time, councillors agreed that the Memorial Arena lands and adjacent Sacre Coeur Church prop- erty be designated as high density residential land. Council also agreed that any development slated for the arena site and neighboring church property be integrated in design. The east and northeast areas of Acton will be the main focus of future residential development. With the adoption of the plan- ning documents, town planning staff will now concentrate its efforts on drawing up Official Plan amendments which will reflect the content of the studies. 4 rel I I __.4_mo TOSHIBA 28° | STEREO TV cx-28613 © 600 lines of resolution ¢ audio video input ¢ variable audio output ¢ 181 channel cable ready © remote control (new model) $ 95 Including 50 month in-home 6 49, parts and labour Sirany Sp ecial 20" Remote Colour TV TOSHIBA VCR CX20261 ¢ auto cleaner * ON SCREEN ¢ Universal Remote *298.00 ARANTEED SERVICE WITH ALL SALES one 877-3405 14 WESLEYAN STREET Just off Main Street, Geor: 7 Special *369.95 SALES ana SEAVICE M TN.
