Status of Regional Official Plan Amendment No. 128 A - ROPr\ I 28, adopreu by Regional I June 2009, extendecl uvUI lL1l the urban boundary to include portions of the North Kedron lndustrialArea and expanded the LivingArea designation in the Kedron PlanningArea. ROPA 128 requires Provincialapproval. The Province issued a Draft Decision on ROPA 128 on March 12th that may have implications for the Concept Plan for the North Kedron lndustrialArea. The Draft Decision contains proposed modifications to remove the EmploymentArea designations in the North Kedron lndustrialArea that were added by ROPA 128. The urban area boundary east of Oshawa Creek would therefore be coincident . with the northerly limit of the adjusted Kedron PlanningArea. The i East Windfields lndustrialArea was not affected by the Draft Decision. The Region is not expectedto respond to the Draft Decision until May or June. Therefore the final ROPA 128 may not be approved, with modifications, until after this KedronIEast Windfields study has been completed. The Kedron LandownersGroup and City staff have directed our consultant team to complete the study, based on ROPA 128 as adopted in June 2009, given that land use compatibility and connectivity matters related to future industrial uses would need to be considered regardless of the outcome of the Provincial decision.

Phase 3 - Evaluation of Options C l U Evaluation criteria were based on plan objectives and the EA process. Key elements of the options were assessed against evaluation criteria to determine differences and preferences for the preferred plan. Each option met all mandatory Regional and City requirements (e.g. road geometrics). While no significant differences exist among the options, some elements from certain options were preferred (e.g. central Community Park location; minimal stream crossings, higher % of population within walking distance of transit; strong trail and open space connections; residential and industrial interfaces). The Draft Preferred Plan is a hybrid of preferred elements from each of the options and meets all mandatory Regional and City requirements.

Phase 3 - Summary of Key Elements of the Draft L This community will differ from other Oshawa communities through: The planned integration of Mixed Use areas. Focused medium and high residential density sites along arterial roads, especially those with transit routes. " An arrangement of land uses that is pedestrian-oriented and walkable including retail and community uses within walking distance of residents. A different approach to the allocation of park space that provides more parks within walking distance of residents. An extensive on- and off- road trails network to provide viable transportation options for cycling and walking.
