That Report PLN 03-13 of the Director, City Development respecting Comments to the Ministry of Infrastructure on Proposed Amendment 2 to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2006, be received; 2. That Pickering Council advise the Ontario Growth Secretariat of the Ministry of Infrastructure that it does not support the proposed employment forecasts for Durham Region for 2031 and 2041 as set out in Proposed Amendment 2 to the Growth Plan, as the forecasts: a) do not reflect the recent historical rate of job growth that Durham Region has experienced over the last 10 years (33.4%); b) do not adequately recognize planned infrastructure in Durham Region such as the Highway 407 East extension, and other economic drivers such as Seaton and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology; c) do not address the observations of the technical report on growth forecasts prepared for the Province, noting that existing Growth Plan policy increases the current very low shares of employment allocated to Durham Region; and d) do not improve the low employment to population ratio of 1 job to 2.7 persons of the Growth Plan, 2006, to a higher ratio, whereas the Region of Durham and the City of Pickering support a ratio of 1 job to 2 persons; 3. That staff of the Ontario Growth Secretariat revise Amendment 2 by increasing the 2041 employment forecast for Durham Region, from 430,000 jobs to 466,000 jobs, as proposed in the Regional Council's adoption of the comments contained in Report 2013-P-2, and provide the revised Amendment to the Minister of Infrastructure for approval; and 4.

That Report PLN 03-13 of the Director, City Development respecting Comments to the Ministry of Infrastructure on Proposed Amendment 2 to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2006, be received; 2. That Pickering Council advise the Ontario Growth Secretariat of the Ministry of Infrastructure that it does not support the proposed employment forecasts for Durham Region for 2031 and 2041 as set out in Proposed Amendment 2 to the Growth Plan, as the forecasts: (a) do not reflect the recent historical rate of job growth that Durham Region has experienced over the last 10 years (33.4%); (b) do not adequately recognize planned infrastructure in Durham Region such as the Highway 407 East extension, and other economic drivers such as Seaton and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology; (c) do not address the observations of the technical report on growth forecasts prepared for the Province, noting that existing Growth Plan policy increases the current very low shares of employment allocated to Durham Region; and (d) do not improve the low employment to population ratio of 1 job to 2.7 persons of the Growth Plan, 2006, to a higher ratio, whereas the Region of Durham and the City of Pickering support a ratio of 1 job to 2 persons; 3. That staff of the Ontario Growth Secretariat revise Amendment 2 by increasing the 2041 employment forecast for Durham Region, from 430,000 jobs to 466,000 jobs, as proposed in the Regional Council's adoption of the comments contained in Report 2013-P-2, and provide the revised Amendment to the Minister of Infrastructure for approval; and 4. Further, that Report PLN 03-13 and Council's Resolution on the matter be forwarded to the Ontario Growth Secretariat at the Ministry of Infrastructure, to Members of Provincial Parliament representing Durham Region constituencies, the Region of Durham and its area municipalities. Report PLN 03-13 February 4, 2013 Subject: Comments on Proposed Amendment 2 to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2006 Page 2 • Executive Summary: The Provincial Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe was put in place in 2006, providing designations and policies respecting the location and amount of growth to the year 2031. Single tier, upper tier and lower tier municipalities must bring their official plans into conformity with the Growth Plan, 2006. The Growth Plan was prepared under the provisions of the Places to Grow Act, 2005. The Act requires a review of the population and employment forecasts every five years. The mandatory review was recently completed. Proposed Amendment 2 to the Growth Plan was released for comment in November 2012. Amendment 2 proposes the following: • to extend the time frame of the Growth Plan to 2041 • to provide growth forecasts for population and employment for the extended time frame, for 2036 and 2041 • to maintain the growth forecasts for 2031 as currently set out in the Growth Plan • to require growth plan conformity amendments that are currently in process (such as Durham Region's) or those that are not yet commenced (such as Pickering's) to conform to the 2031 forecasts; and • to permit the next round of Growth Plan conformity amendments to be completed with future official plan reviews, rather than in a prescribed time frame Staff have reviewed the proposed amendments, and support the population forecast for Durham Region as it matches the recent rate of growth for Durham. Staff also support the retention of the 2031 forecasts so that the policy regime remains stable for the current set of conformity amendments. Staff does not support the proposed employment forecast for Durham Region as it fails to recognize Durham's current growth trends, imminent infrastructure investment and economic drivers in the Region, the re-enforcing policy effect of the current Growth Plan to allocate less employment to Durham, and Durham's and Pickering's target to achieve a job to population ratio of 1 job to 2 persons. As suggested in the attached copy of the Region of Durham Commissioner of Planning and Economic Development Report 2013-P-2, City staff also support a revision to Amendment 2 to the Growth Plan to increase the Durham employment forecast for 2041 by an additional 36,900 jobs, for a total of 466,900 jobs, to be consistent with recent historical trends. It is recommended that Pickering Council endorse the comments contained in this Report and forward a copy to the Ministry of Infrastructure, to Members of Provincial Parliament representing Durham Region constituencies, the Region of Durham and its area municipalities. Report PLN 03-13 February 4, 2013 Subject: Comments on Proposed Amendment 2 to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2006 Page 3 Financial Implications: Providing comments to the Ontario Growth Secretariat on Proposed Amendment 2 to the Growth Plan has no financial implications for Pickering. 1. Background: 1.1 The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2006, requires periodic review. The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GP), known as Places to Grow, was approved in 2006. The GP establishes a planning framework, and population and employment growth forecasts for single tier and regional municipalities to the year 2031. The GP requires municipalities to bring their official plans into conformity with the policies and forecasts of the GP within a specified time frame. Further, under the provisions of the Places to Grow Act, 2005, there is a mandatory review of the growth forecasts every five years, and a mandatory review of the entire GP every 10 years. 1.2 Proposed Amendment 2 to the Growth Plan responds to the requirement to review the growth forecasts. The Minister of Infrastructure released Proposed Amendment 2 to the Growth Plan on November 2, 2012 and requested that comments on Proposed Amendment 2 be provided by February 8, 2013. (Amendment 1 to the GP concerns lands and growth in Simcoe County - the Barrie area). Amendment 2 updates the growth forecasts, and extends the horizon of the forecasts and policies for single tier and regional municipalities in the Greater Golden Horseshoe to 2036 and 2041. Proposed Amendment 2 makes no changes to the 2031 forecasts. The proposed forecasts for the Region of Durham for 2036 and 2041 are identified in the Table below, with the 2031 forecasts for reference. Population and Employment Forecasts for the Region of Durham From Proposed Amendment 2 to the Growth Plan, 2006 Population Employment (in 000's) (in 000's) 2031 2036 2041 2031 2036 2041 Region of Durham 960 1080 1190 350 390 430 Report PLN 03-13 February 4, 2013 Subject: Comments on Proposed Amendment 2 to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2006 Page 4 As background to the Amendment, the Ministry of Infrastructure commissioned Hemson Consulting Ltd. to prepare updated growth forecasts for 2036 and 2041. The results are contained in the "Greater Golden Horseshoe Growth Forecasts To 2041 - Technical Report, November 2012" (the Hemson Report). The Hemson Report used updated Census Canada data for 2006 and 2011, and based its forecasts on historical patterns, planning policy, and environmental and infrastructure capacity calculations. The Hemson Report produced three growth forecasts: a Low; a "Reference" (or moderate); and a High. The Proposed Amendment reflects the "Reference" forecast. Amendment 2 also includes proposed transitional policies to help guide implementation. The proposed transitional policies require that all official plans governed by the GP be brought into conformity with the 2031 forecasts including: 1. Upper-tier municipal official plan amendments currently awaiting Ontario Municipal Board decisions (such as Regional Official Plan Amendment 128 (ROPA 128)); and, 2. Lower-tier official plan amendments required for conformity with the GP, 2006 and their respective upper-tier official plan conformity amendments (ROPA 128), including amendments not yet commenced (such as Pickering). At a time in the future, selected by the municipalities, a second round of comprehensive official plan reviews of both the Region and the City's official plans will be required to bring them into conformity with the forecasts in the amended GP. 2.0 Discussion 2.1 In reviewing the Proposed Amendment, staff also considered the comments of the Region of Durham Commissioner's Report 2013-P-2 The Region of Durham Commissioner of Planning and Economic Development presented Report No. 2013-P-2, entitled "Growth Plan — Proposed Amendment 2, Population & Employment Forecasts" to the Regional Planning & Development Committee on January 8, 2013. A copy of the Report is provided as Attachment #1. The Committee endorsed the Report and Regional Council approved the recommendation of Committee on January 23, 2013. The Region's Report reviewed the methodology, assumptions and findings of the Hemson Report and the population and employment forecasts of Proposed Amendment 2 for 2031, 2036 and 2041, and provided comments on other various aspects of the proposed Amendment. Report PLN 03-13 February 4, 2013 Subject: Comments on Proposed Amendment 2 to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2006 Page 5 2.2 The proposed population for Durham Region for 2041 is supported. Report 2013-P-2 supported the population growth forecast for the period 2031 to 2041 because it reflects the recent historical population growth rate between 1996 and 2006 of 24% in Durham Region. Similarly, City staff support, and recommend that Council support, the population forecast. 2.3 The maintenance of the 2031 growth forecasts, coupled with the proposed transition provisions are supported. The 2031 growth forecasts are proposed to be retained despite the findings of the Hemson Report that generated slightly higher population and employment forecasts for Durham Region for 2031. However, given the number of official plan amendments underway, and in many cases awaiting decisions on the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB), this is an appropriate policy approach. The proposed transition provisions provide further clarity on when and how "conformity" with the GP is to be achieved, following approval of the extended time frame and new growth forecasts. By clarifying that all official plans must first come into conformity with the 2031 forecasts as set out in the GP, 2006, a stable planning policy context is established for completing upper tier amendments, or initiating and completing lower tier conformity amendments. Furthermore, a second transitional provision allows the next round of GP conformity amendments to be undertaken with a future comprehensive official plan review, rather than within a prescribed time limit. This also leads to stability in the policy framework to allow existing conformity amendments to be completed and implementation of those amendments get under way. Staff support, and recommend that Council support, maintaining the 2031 growth forecasts, and the transition provisions proposed in Amendment 2 to the GP. 2.4 The proposed employment forecast for 2041 for Durham Region is not supported for both technical and strategic policy reasons. In Regional Report 2013-P-2, a lengthy comment was made respecting the shortcomings of the proposed employment forecast for Durham Region for both 2036 and 2041. Some of the key points include the following: • the proposed forecasts keep the Region's jobs to population rate slightly worse than from the Growth Plan, 2006, which was 1 job to 2.7 persons • the proposed forecast does not assist in achieving the cornerstone of the Growth Plan of"minimizing the negative impacts of growth and urban sprawl" that a target of 1 job for every 2 persons would achieve • it is noted that the proposed forecasts for all other Greater Toronto Area upper tier and single tier municipalities are forecast to have a job to population rate of 1 job to 2 persons, with the exception of Hamilton, which is just slightly less • Report PLN 03-13 February 4, 2013 Subject: Comments on Proposed Amendment 2 to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2006 Page 6 • the Province should consider increasing Durham's share of employment growth from 22.9% to 33.4% to be consistent with recent historical trend for the period from 1996 to 2006 • reflecting the recent historical trends would result in an employment forecast of 466,900 jobs at 2041, and achieve a jobs to population ratio of I job for every 2.5 persons, moving closer to the Region of Durham target of 1 job for every 2 persons • the "relatively low employment forecast ... will maintain the low employment to population ratio currently experienced in Durham" (City staff note that the Hemson Report confirms that the influence of Growth Plan policy increases the current very low shares of employment allocated to Durham and Hamilton) • the low forecast "will limit the designation of new land to accommodate employment and as a result, prevent the Region from protecting strategic lands for future employment use" • the Region questions if the methodology adequately took into account the near term development potential for Durham and its economic opportunities that will be created by the advanced construction of Highway 407 East; and that, • "improving employment opportunities in Durham continues to be a key driver to building more complete communities, characterized by balanced population and job growth, reduced long commuting distances/times, and more transit- oriented development" The proposed employment forecasts neither reflect recent historical growth trends nor planned economic drivers. Further, the population and employment forecast do not move the Region towards its target of achieving 1 job for 2 persons. The Growth Plan policy itself results in less employment allocation to ' Durham Region, which results in a downward spiral of less employment land to designate, less infrastructure investment, and fewer jobs, putting Durham Region at a competitive and economic disadvantage. City staff supports, and recommends that Pickering Council support, the Region's suggestion that the Province increase the employment forecasts for Durham Region. It is recommended that the forecast for 2041 be increased, from 430,000 jobs to at least 466,900 jobs, and adjust the 2036 forecast accordingly. 3.0 Next Steps 3.1 City staff will forward a copy of this Report and Planning Committee's recommendation to the Ontario Growth Secretariat by February 8, 2013. Given the deadline for comments, staff will forward minutes from Planning Committee together with a copy of this Report in time for the Province's deadline. We will advise the Ontario Growth Secretariat the Council's resolution will follow at the end of February.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT 2.1 The proposed amendment to the Growth Plan has been prepared under the Places to Grow Act, 2006, and provides an extended population and employment forecast horizon to be used for planning and managing growth in the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Schedule 3 2.2 Schedule 3 to the Growth Plan includes population and employment forecasts for upper-and single-tier municipalities within the Greater Golden Horseshoe. A new Schedule 3 is proposed to replace the existing Schedule 3, extending the forecast horizon from 2031 to 2041. 2.3 The forecast methodology and assumptions upon which the Proposed Amendment are based, are detailed in a background report entitled "Greater Golden Horseshoe Growth Forecasts to 2041: Technical Report"(Technical Report). 2.4 The methodology and assumptions are consistent with those used by the Province to prepare forecasts for the Greater Golden Horseshoe in 2005, and were developed with input from municipal stakeholders within the Greater Golden Horseshoe. 2.5 The population forecasts were developed using various demographic factors, including natural increase (based on birth and death assumptions), net migration (based on immigration assumptions), age structure, household headship rates and household occupancy patterns. Assumptions for land • availability, infrastructure investment, and water and wastewater servicing capacity were also addressed. 2.6 The employment forecasts were developed based on various economic factors, including economic trends, immigration trends, participation rates, unemployment rates, net in-commuting patterns, and historical sector analysis by type of employment. • 10 ATT CHIVI 11NT# / TO REPORTO Report No.: 2013-P-2 Page No. 3 2.7 The Technical Report includes updated 2031 forecasts for Durham of 970,000 population and 357,000 employment. This represents an additional 10,000 people and 7,000 jobs over the 2031 forecasts in the existing Schedule 3. However, the amendment proposes to maintain the same forecasts for 2031 as in the existing Schedule 3 (i.e. 960,000 population and 350,000 employment in Durham). This is intended to ensure continuity of work already undertaken by municipalities to bring their official plans into conformity with the Growth Plan, particularly as it pertains to decisions on official plans and official plan amendments currently before the Ontario Municipal Board. • 2.8 The proposed new population and employment forecasts for Durham are: 1,080,000 and 390,000 respectively in 2036; and 1,190,000 and 430,000 respectively in 2041. This represents an employment to population ratio of 36.1%, or 1 job for every 2.8 persons in both 2036 and 2041, which provides no improvement over the 2031 ratio of 36.5% or 1 job for every. 2.7 persons. 2.9 The percentage population growth for the forecast period 2031-2041 is 24.0%. This is identical to the recent historical percentage population growth of 24.0% between1996-2006. 2.10 The percentage employment growth for the forecast period 2031-2041 is 22.9%.This is significantly below the recent historical percentage employment growth of 33.4% between 1996-2006 Comment The proposal to maintain the same forecasts for 2031 as in the existing Schedule 3, is supported as it will avoid potential complications in the on- going Growth Plan OMB Hearings. The population and employment forecast methodology and assumptions are reasonable. The extended population forecast for Durham, which is consistent with recent historical trends is supported. However, there is concern that the outlook has a relatively low employment forecast, which will maintain the low employment to population ratio currently experienced in 11 AT rfl MENT# / TO REPORT#", P2-4/03 -43 REVISED Report No.: 2013-P-2 Page No. 4 Durham. The cornerstone of the Growth Plan is stated as "minimizing the negative impacts of growth and urban sprawl". To this end, achieving a target of 1 job for every 2 persons has been a key objective of Durham's Official Plan. Improving employment opportunities in Durham continues to be a key driver to building more complete communities, characterized by balanced population and job growth, reduced long commuting distances/times, and more transit-oriented development. We question if the province's methodology adequately took into account the near term development potential for Durham that will be created by the advanced construction of Highway 407. Although the forecast does not prevent Durham Region from generating and accommodating jobs in excess of the forecast, it will limit the designation of new land to accommodate employment and as a result prevent the Region from protecting strategic lands for future employment use. The province should consider increasing Durham's share of employment growth to be consistent with recent historical trends (33.4%) '1 ,s itgasaa iiiiiMitiMMENORMATOTtaRKOWERRIN c/o e 'to ih " egrp t_ .F ;IRigt f 1Jjc eM P aaa The province should also consider changes to the Growth Plan to allow for the long term protection of strategic lands for employment use beyond the forecast period. Implementation 2.11 The proposed amendment includes a number of proposed actions that may be taken to implement the amendment. 2.12 The first pertains to transition provisions. Under section 19 of the Places to Grow Act, 2005, a regulation was made in June 2006 to address transitional matters. The Ministry is proposing to amend this regulation "to permit most decisions on matters in process, as well as some future matters, to be made as if any amendment had not come into effect". These matters could include decisions currently before the Ontario Municipal Board, such as upper-tier official plan amendments being made to bring official plans into conformity with the Growth Plan. 12 ATTt CHMENi T# / TO REIdr"O'# REVISED Report No.: 2013-P-2 Page No. 5 Comment The proposal to amend the existing transition regulation to ensure that the amendment does not affect matters already in process is supported. This will help avoid potential complications in the on-going Growth Plan conformity OMB Hearings in other jurisdictions as well as the pending conformity exercises being undertaken by Durham's area municipalities. However, once the Official Plan has been brought into conformity, the subsequent review of Official Plans should be based on the updated forecasts. 2.13 The second pertains to the timeframe for municipalities to bring their official plans into conformity with the new forecasts. Under section 12 of the Places to Grow Act, 2005, the Official Plan must be brought into conformity with the Growth Plan within three years of the Growth Plan coming into effect. Under section 12 (3)the Minister can revise this time frame. The proposed amendment proposes to set an alternate date for conformity to permit • municipalities to coordinate their Growth Plan conformity work with the next scheduled review of their official plans. . Comment The proposal to set an alternate date for conformity with the Growth Plan is supported, as it will allow the Region to proceed on future timelines for updating the Regional Official Plan as it deems appropriate, in co-ordination with other conformity requirements. 2.14 It should be noted that until any amendment is approved, the population and employment forecasts currently contained in Schedule 3 of the Growth Plan (to 2031), continue to be in effect under the Places to Grow Act, 2005. 3. CONCLUSION 3..1 The proposed amendment documentation indicates that the Ministry of Infrastructure will consider all submissions and comments received by 13 . AT?CENT#_"_TO REFORT7 /4Z A/ 0.3 REVISED Report No.: 2013-P-2 Page No. 6 February 8, 2013, and may subsequently modify the proposed amendment, and submit an amendment with recommendations to the Lieutenant Governor in Council for a decision.
