Employment land should…

Employment land should generally not be located next to greenbelt areas and sensitive lands that contain wood lots and tributaries, especially in those areas that are predominantly residential in nature. Land use policies should prioritize keeping industry out of sensitive areas adjacent to residential neighbourhoods in order to minimize noise, light, and contamination, while promoting smart growth elsewhere. There are areas in this draft plan, such as Concession Block 69 in the northwesterly corner of Vaughan, with a proposed Employment designation, situated between established residential areas and greenbelt, which are better suited for designation as Community area in the Plan.
