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 />
