Managing Growth:
Secondary Plan Policies and Phasing
• Development of Greenfield Areas that are greater than approximately
20 hectares shall only proceed in accordance with an approved
Secondary Plan.
• Clarington will also have to develop more detailed phasing policies to
guide the Secondary Planning process including:
• the consideration of the amount of available land
• infrastructure and public facilities costs
• fiscal capacity of the municipality
Challenges
• Accommodating intensification will be a challenge for Clarington
• Municipality will need to more than double its Intensification rate to meet the
Region’s targets
• community acceptance and support for compact development
• Large portion of the committed Greenfield (draft approved and proposed)
development does not have sufficient services
Overall....
• Clarington has sufficient land to accommodate the Regional Official Plan
population forecasts and intensification targets for the Community.
• Adoption of sustainable land development principles and building practices is
vital to reducing the potential environmental pressures of growth.
• There will be a need for strong urban design polices to ensure community
character is protected and enhanced.
