Notwithstanding the Service Commercial designation of the lands located on the north and south sides of Broadway, between Third/Wellington Streets and Highway 10, automotive uses such as automobile parking depots, automobile dealerships and used car lots are not permitted, while automobile service stations and public garages are permitted.
The intent of this policy is to reinforce and complement the focus of the east Broadway area as the easterly gateway into Town and the entry into the Downtown Heritage Conservation District, and the Town’s continuing efforts to beautify this area. It is anticipated that over time, specific proposals for amendment to the Zoning By-law and redevelopment proposals will be made in accordance with this policy so as to have the effect of relocating those automotive and automotive-related uses that rely on the outdoor storage and display of motor vehicles and equipment to more appropriate areas of Town.
Notwithstanding the Restricted Commercial/Residential designation of the lands located on the south side of Broadway, west of Dawson Road, a transition to higher density, mixed-uses over time, beyond house-form buildings, can be considered for this area. It is intended that the character of the adjacent residential neighbourhoods shall be respected through architecturally-sensitive forms of redevelopment and by properly locating and screening site elements such as off-street parking.

The Veterans' Way South Community is located on one of the last remaining vacant developable parcels of land in the Town. The lands to the south and east are developed with low density residential development while the lands to the north and west remain undeveloped. The lands to the northwest have recently been acquired by the Humber College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning and will be developed with a new educational facility.
The Town-owned Orangeville-Brampton Railway is located along the southern limits of the site, with Broadway beyond that. Hansen Boulevard is to be extended through the site to connect with Veterans' Way. The south branch of the Lower Monora Creek borders the lands to the north and the lands are framed along the west by an existing open space conservation corridor.
The Veterans' Way South Community lands are generally undeveloped and located on the northwesterly periphery of the Town.
The following major elements provide the context for the development of the Veterans' Way South Community:
Two medium density residential areas are located in the centre of the Veterans' Way South Community. Employment lands are generally located to the south of the Humber College lands and in the southwestern area of the Community.
Lower density residential areas are generally located on the eastern portion of the Veterans' Way South Community, abutting the existing residential uses to the east, and include commercial opportunities as well as a centralized park.
A low density multiple area is located in the southern portion of the Veterans' Way South Community, adjacent to the Orangeville-Brampton Railway.
All residential development shall comply with the policies for residential/industrial buffering as described in Section E.1.8 of the Official Plan. The detailed neighbourhood design for the residentially designated blocks shall comply with the design objectives found in Section E.1.9 of the Official Plan. All development in the employment area shall comply with the commercial design principles of Section E.2.9 of the Official Plan and the Town's Commercial Urban Design Guidelines.

The Veterans' Way South Community provides for a balanced community with three residential areas, commercial and employment uses and a centralized park. Notwithstanding the general neighbourhood design policies of the Official Plan, the development of the residential areas shall be subject to the following design guidelines to encourage an urban form and character which supports the overall development concept for the Community.
All of the areas shall be developed through the draft plan of subdivision/ condominium and site plan process. Designs which incorporate alternative energy sources and "greening" to accommodate sustainable developments will be encouraged.
In particular:
The Low Density Residential areas located along the eastern boundary of the Community and adjacent to existing residential development to the east shall be developed in a manner that is compatible with the existing character, street pattern and established lotting of the areas to the east. Incorporation of measures such as landscaped space, enhanced streetscapes and block linkages through walkways/trailways to the existing developed areas and throughout the development will be encouraged. A mix of housing forms and elevations will also be encouraged.
The Low Density Multiple Area is intended to provide a local street-scaled residential development. It is intended that the area be developed with street townhomes. That is compatible with the community. To achieve this design:
The centralized Medium Density Residential areas should be encouraged to be developed in a low rise to mid rise, stacked townhouse forms and/or apartment buildings in a building form that complements and which provides for a transition between the lower density residential areas to the east and the employment uses to the north and west. The developers of these areas shall ensure that:
Notwithstanding the design policies of Section E.3.5 and E.3.6, the employment areas shall be carefully developed and the design of individual sites shall be implemented through implementation of the Town's Commercial Urban Design Guidelines and detailed zoning standards including provisions relating to scale, massing, height, density, building design, buffering, and landscaping to ensure:
The Low Density Residential areas will permit detached dwellings to a maximum density of 25 units per net residential hectare.
The Low Density Multiple area will permit detached, semi-detached and street townhomes with a net density range of 25 to 49 units per net residential hectare.
The Medium Density Residential area will permit stacked townhomes and low to mid rise apartment buildings at a density range of 45 to 99 units per net residential hectare.
E.8.64.5.4.1
Notwithstanding the Employment Area policies of Sections E3.2 and E3.3, the following uses are permitted:
All outdoor operations ancillary to general industrial operations will be limited to the rear of building yards and separated from surrounding non-industrial uses through appropriate screening. The Town may require that environmental impact studies such as, but not limited to, those analyzing noise and air quality, be undertaken and submitted with applications for development.
The introduction of commercial uses to the employment area will be considered through site-specific zoning amendments. Those commercial development proposals exceeding a gross floor area of 2,300 square metres shall only be considered after a comprehensive review of the Town's vacant employment land inventory and, in accordance with Section E2.3.6, the Town's projected commercial needs in conjunction with a detailed market study which identifies the need for additional retail commercial space and which concludes that there will be minimal market impacts and the planned function of the Central Business District will not be prejudiced.
E.8.64.5.4.2
The development of commercially-oriented uses in the Employment Area will proceed in an incremental fashion and through a site-by-site analysis associated with respective site-specific zoning amendments.
Notwithstanding the policies of Sections E3.2 and E.3.3, and the ultimate densities for all commercial and office uses in the Employment Area, a maximum of 18,500 square metres of gross leasable floor area may be considered prior to January 1, 2015 if there is sufficient and suitable vacant land available in the Employment Area. After January 1, 2015 this floor area cap will not apply.
The location and design of such additional uses will be subject to site plan control and the Town's Commercial Urban Design Study, and various supporting studies as may be required by the Town, prior to site plan approval and the required zoning amendment.
E.8.64.5.4.3
Residential uses above any commercial building will be encouraged either at the initial development stage or as a future intensification opportunity. Provisions in the site plan design should be made for this future use.
Notwithstanding the above, a residential apartment building may be permitted on Block 94 and Block 98 on Registered Plan 7M-70 where a mixed-use building, as per Section E.8.64.5.4.3 of the Official Plan, is located on the same lot
The Open Space Recreation area is intended to be utilized as public parkland and shall be integrated where possible with the medium density residential area to the north for the purpose of shared parking and pedestrian linkages.
The transportation system for the Veterans' Way South Community shall be developed in accordance with the amended Schedule "E". Local roads shall generally contain rights-of-way that are between 18.5 and 20 metres. Consideration may be given to the prescribed rights-of-way to accommodate major intersections, grade separations or major physical and topographical constraints. Wider rights-of-way may also be required to accommodate trailways, streetscape works and/or landscaping features. Provision shall be made on the Hansen Boulevard extension for on-street bicycle lanes.
The alignment of individual roads will recognize the need to preserve natural features and detailed road design will include mitigation and rehabilitation of such features, if needed.
Access to roads and to the extended rail spur line will be addressed through the subdivision design and detailed site plan processes.
Accommodation will be made through development agreements with the landowners for the extension of sanitary sewage and water supply to service the Veterans' Way South Community and Humber College campus.
Stormwater management facilities shall be located to accommodate post-development runoff from the Community. Groundwater infiltration blocks shall be located throughout the development to meet the objectives of Credit Valley Conservation.
