The Environmental Master Servicing Plan provides direction on edge management strategies betxveen developable and non-developable areas to ensure that new development maintains and enhances adjacent natural features and functions, it also establishes a stormwater management strategy. The Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines establish urban design criteria, identify school and park sites and major street connections. The Land Use objectives for this amendment are to adjust the boundaries of the land use designations to accurately reflect the findings of the Environmental Master Servicing Plan and adopt policies for both the Rouge-Duffins Wildlife Corridor and the Rouge Park Neighbourhood that will guide development in the manner articulated in the Rouge Park Neighbourhood Development Guidelines.
