On the agenda
As the city filed it
This report recommends that City Council adopt the Sherway Area Secondary Plan (the "Secondary Plan"). The Secondary Plan is a comprehensive planning framework for the lands bounded by Highway 427, the Queen Elizabeth Way, Etobicoke Creek and the Canadian Pacific rail corridor, which directs anticipated growth to appropriate locations, secures public realm amenities and identifies community facilities necessary to meet the existing and future needs of residents and workers.

The Secondary Plan facilitates the transformation of the Sherway Area from an auto-oriented, primarily retail destination to a vibrant, complete mixed-use community, through the introduction of mixed-use development as well as new public streets, parks and open spaces to accompany development. The Secondary Plan provides an overarching framework for land use, development capacity, a new street network and a parks and open space system, within which more detailed precinct planning can be undertaken. Given the overall size of the Secondary Plan area (approximately 136 hectares), this approach is appropriate to respond to specific conditions and desired character of multiple precincts, including the need to acknowledge existing uses and required phasing of development. The Secondary Plan provides flexibility regarding the location and timing of dedication of public streets, the number and locations of new parks, and built form. The provision of clear and specific policy direction at the macro level, coupled with flexibility in implementation at the precinct level, will allow development to proceed in a predictable and consistent manner while ensuring precinct-specific conditions can be addressed. The Secondary Plan is the outcome of the Sherway Area Study, a four-phased process to address City Council's direction to review and update the planning framework for the area. The Sherway Area Study included a thorough public consultation process and the input of staff from various City Divisions and commenting agencies. Following the Sherway Area Study, City Council directed staff to replace the current Sherway Area Site and Area Specific Policies with a Secondary Plan for the area based on its key findings. A draft of the Secondary Plan was released in the Spring of 2019 for public consultation, as well as divisional and agency review. The Secondary Plan is accompanied by Urban Design and Streetscape Guidelines for the Sherway Area, which provides more detailed standards to assist in the review of development applications and public realm improvements, and the implementation of the Secondary Plan. The Secondary Plan has regard to matters of provincial interest under Section 2 of the Planning Act, is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014), and conforms to A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). The Secondary Plan also maintains the intent and purpose of, and conforms to the City's Official Plan.
