Introduction<br />

The Provincial Growth Plan June 2006 identifies a<br />

conceptual<br />

Future Transportation Corridor that generally extends east<br />

from the Guelph area to the east <strong>of</strong> <strong>Caledon</strong> and includes<br />

policy directions requiring that transportation corridors be<br />

identified and protected The Ministry <strong>of</strong> Transportation has<br />

initiated an Environmental Assessment study that will more<br />

specifically define the GTA West Future Transportation<br />

Corridor The Region <strong>of</strong> Peel has identified a<br />

Strategic<br />

Infrastructure Study Area SISA in south <strong>Caledon</strong> and north<br />

east Brampton on Schedule D <strong>of</strong> its Official Plan and has<br />

introduced policies to protect the SISA from land uses that<br />

would predetermine or preclude the potential outcomes <strong>of</strong> the<br />

GTA West Corridor Environmental Assessment These<br />

policies direct the area municipalities to include policies in their<br />

Official Plans to restrict new land uses to protect the lands<br />

within the SISA Accordingly Schedule A 1 <strong>of</strong> this Plan<br />

identifies the SISA and the potential linkage <strong>of</strong> the proposed<br />

North South Transportation Corridor extending south <strong>of</strong> the<br />

SISA on the west side <strong>of</strong> <strong>Caledon</strong> The SISA and the North<br />

South Transportation Corridor are subject to the following<br />

objectives and policies<br />

Obiectives<br />

To identify and protect areas that require comprehensive study<br />

and assessment with respect to long term strategic planning<br />

and infrastructure needs such as<br />

transportation facilities<br />

utilities and electricity transmission infrastructure<br />

<strong>Caledon</strong> will work in partnership with the Province the Region<br />

<strong>of</strong> Peel area municipalities and adjacent regions to further<br />

define and refine the location <strong>of</strong> the conceptual Strategic<br />

Infrastructure Study Area SISA and the potential linkage <strong>of</strong><br />

the proposed North South Transportation Corridor as shown on<br />

Schedule A 1 based on the outcomes <strong>of</strong> the Ministry <strong>of</strong><br />

Transportation s GTA West Corridor Environmental<br />

Assessment and identify and implement tools policies and<br />

other measures to protect lands within the SISA and the North<br />

South Transportation Linkage from land uses that would<br />

predetermine or preclude the potential outcomes <strong>of</strong> the GTA<br />

West Corridor Environmental Assessment<br />

Settlement expansions will only be proposed and development<br />

applications will only be considered for approval within the<br />

SISA and the North South Transportation Corridor linkage<br />

where there has been a<br />

satisfactory assessment that has<br />

concluded that the proposal would not predetermine or<br />

preclude the outcomes <strong>of</strong> the GTA West Corridor<br />

Environmental Assessment<br />

All land uses currently permitted within the Prime Agricultural<br />

Area will continue to be permitted<br />
