Innovative Planning Solutions Inc. ('IPS') is submitting this comment on behalf of 1252705 ONTARIO INC. (the ‘Landowner’) in response to Environmental Registry Posting ERO 025-0468 for the Mississauga Official Plan 2051 (‘MOP 2051’). The purpose of this letter is to express concerns with the current Business Employment designation applied to the lands at 2175 Royal Windsor Drive (‘Subject Lands’) and to request targeted amendments to MOP 2051.

The Subject Lands are located within the Clarkson GO Major Transit Station Area (MTSA), adjacent to the GO Station and along Royal Windsor Drive, an identified Strategic Growth Street. Despite this prime location within one of the City’s highest-priority intensification areas, the planned land use framework is not consistent with PPS 2024, and the intended role of the MTSA or Strategic Growth Area. As currently proposed, MOP 2051 is not consistent with PPS 2024 as it relates to this site.

The Landowner respectfully requests that the Subject Lands be re-designated to Mixed Use Limited, with a permitted height range of 4 to 25 storeys, and that the relevant schedules in MOP 2051 be updated accordingly. These changes will help ensure MOP 2051 conforms with provincial policy and supports the delivery of a transit-supportive, complete community.

The landowner’s specific request is to:

• Modify Schedule 1 to remove the Subject Lands from the Employment Area designation and expand the Growth Node designation to include the site;
• Amend Schedules 7, 7L, and 8R (Land Use Schedules) to re-designate the Subject Lands as Mixed Use Limited; and,
• Modify Schedule 8R (Building Height Schedule) to permit a height range between 4 and 25 storeys.
