•T he IFP• H alton H ills, Thursday, A ugust 22, 2013 11 The Vision Georgetown Study The Corporation of the Town of Halton Hills is undertaking a Planning Study to prepare a Plan to guide the future development of the expansion to the community of Georgetown (area shown on the key map). The purpose of the Study is to identify urban land use designations, a natural heritage system, transportation/ servicing infrastructure, and detailed policies to guide the development of the Study Area, which was designated 'Future Residential/Mixed Use Area' through the Town's Official Plan Amendment 10. The Study is in accordance with Regional Official Plan Amendment 38, which includes the subject lands as part of an expansion to the Georgetown Urban Area. The Study (called 'Vision Georgetown') is being undertaken as an Integrated Planning Project. It will involve a Land Use Planning Study under the Planning Act, a Subwatershed Study, which deals with all aspects of the natural environment, and improvements to infrastructure in accordance with Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Process. As part of the "integrated approach" (as set out in Section A.2.9 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment), Planning Act and Environmental Assessment Act requirements are combined. Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class EA will be addressed. The Study is expected to result in the preparation of a Secondary Plan that will be adopted as an amendment to the Town of Halton Hills Official Plan. Get Involved!
