Planning Legisiation To Control Urban Sprawl Provincial Treasurer John White, MPP for London South, has introduced to the Legislature three Buis which togetler represent a major advance in the planning program of the Ontario Governrnent. The Ontario Planning and Developinent Act: - sets out a new process for the design, adoption and implemnentation of provincial plans in differenit areas of Ontario. The new Act introduces to North America the concept of development control whichi has been the basis of planning legislation in major European jurisdictions for the preservation of historie land or cities. It required the existence of sophisticated planning resources, a field iin which Ontario leads. Under the nlew act, the provincial goverrnent is emipowered to prepare plans iin close consultation with municipalities and other inîerested groups. These plans wvill be put through a vigorous process of public examin- ation and hearings. Following this, the Goverinent mnay ador the plan, with any appropriate modifications. grnd mn the plan becomes a policy guide for ail provincial and municipal agencies. Ihe Parkway BeIt Planning And Development Act: - is a special companion piece of legislation enabling the 'Government to commence implementation of a system of parkway belts of multiple - use corridors froin Dundas to Markham around Metropolitan Toronto. This "Green Space" will serve as a buffer between municipalities, separating and defining them, thereby curbing urban sprawl. Acquisition of the 55,000 acres of land involved will con- tinue for 30 years. About il1,000 acres- of the land affected by the proposed parkway routes are now held in some form of public ownership. The land within the parkway routes has been designated for agricultural use only until municipal plans are changed to comply with the new Ontaýio Planning and Developinent Act. The Niagara Escarpment Planning and Development Act: - sets out a similar process for the Niagara Escarpment Planning Area. The Act establishes a Niagara Escarpinent Commission of 17 members - eight representing municipal- ities, eight representing the Province and a chairman. The commission is given responsibility for preparation of a master plan for the Escarpment area. The Act stipulates that the plan must have as its goal the preservat- ion. of the Escarpment's natural landscape and that it must be prepared in close consultation with the municipal- ities affected. Until the plan is completed, the develop- ment control concept gives the Minister of Treasury, Economics and Jntergovernmental Affairs flexibility to approve land uses so long as they are consistent with the objectives of the Act. Following preparation of the plan and a process of public examinations and hearings, the plan is to be submitted to the Government. After its adoption, the Niagara Escarprnent Plan will become officiai policy for ail governmnent planning at both the provincial and munnicipal levels.
