A local area plan is created by The City in coordination with participants including residents and landowners, local businesses, community associations and builders/developers. Generally, local area plans are created over approximately 2.5 – 3 years with input collected through an iterative engagement process. A local area plan supports neighbourhoods experiencing redevelopment by outlining: An overarching vision and core values to guide the evolution of the area over the next 30 years. A concept for where and how new development can be integrated into the neighbourhood over time (if/when development is proposed). Development policies to help realize great development in the area. Future local investment options to support growth and change.
This feature layer contains Lennox and Addington Lot's and Concession information. This layer provides a comprehensive spatial representation of land parcels and concessions.
Site Regions and Site Districts of Ontario represent an early Ecological Land Classification (ELC) system originally developed by Angus Hills. This dataset was revised by the ELC Working Group in 2000 to better reflect new information and new technology. The Site Regions of Ontario was used for descriptive, planning, and resource management purposes. This upper level in its hierarchy was most useful for provincial and regional roll-ups of data and for strategic planning. Site Districts of Ontario is a more detailed lower (finer-scale) level of the hierarchy, and was more useful for detailed resource management prescriptions and other local and site planning applications. This layer is designed to be used as a spatial selection tool and as a background layer suitable for overlay and or intersection with numerous scales or current hydrologic data.

Brampton Plan, Schedule “11” Precinct Plan Areas identify specific locations within Brampton that require a more detailed level of planning to guide future development, redevelopment, or intensification. Precinct Plans establish area-specific policies and frameworks for land use, urban design, transportation, infrastructure, public spaces, environmental features, and community services to ensure growth occurs in a coordinated and comprehensive manner. These plans implement the broader objectives of Brampton Plan while responding to the unique opportunities and constraints of each area. This data is intended to be used in conjuction with other related mapping layers for this schedule, and may be impacted by other schedules, with consideration to the text of Brampton Plan.
____________________________________________________________ NOTE - although it's recommended to use the feature layer web service, the file geodatabase is available for download. Download FGDB ____________________________________________________________ More Details The MUSA Composite dataset depicts current and future boundaries of the Urban Service Areas (sewer service areas) based on communities' comprehensive plans for the seven-county metropolitan area of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul. The dataset does not depict the precise location of current urban services (Sewer service). In other words, the Urban Service Areas designate areas that might be serviced, it does not represent the urban areas that are serviced. The depiction of Urban Service Areas provides a framework in which known urban development and anticipated future development can exist with adequate sewer capacity at efficient service levels. Seven other datasets are derived from these data: MUSA_2020, MUSA_2020_Outline, MUSA_2030, MUSA_2030_Outline, MUSA_2040, MUSA_2040_Outline, MUSA_2050, MUSA_2050_Outline, MUSA Undesignated_Reserve (see below). NOTE: As of August 2020, the derived dataset MUSA_Undesignated is no longer being used as a desingation but remain in the Attributes for an unknown period of time for historical comparison purposes but there will no longer be a designated layer as part of any download. Each community (city or township) in the seven-county Twin Cities metropolitan area is required to complete a comprehensive plan for approval by the Metropolitan Council per the Metropolitan Land Planning Act of 1995 (Minn. Stat 473.864, Subd 2 and 473.175, Subd 1). The comprehensive plan must include a depiction of current and future boundaries of the Urban Service Areas (i.e., 2040, 2050, Post-2050). As of March 2011, a new designation area was created specifically to address the agreed upon development plan for southeastern Scott County between the county, the city of Elko New Market and the town of New Market : 'Undesignated MUSA Reserve.' This is an area where an agreed upon acreage of urban sewer service can be added to the current MUSA by 2040 through their 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The distinction between 'Undesignated MUSA' and 'Undesignated MUSA Reserve' is that 'Undesignated MUSA' is an area within a municipal boundary defined by that municipality's comprehensive plan, whereas, 'Undesignated MUSA Reserve' is an area beyond the current municipal boundary (i.e., surrounding township) that is designated in a joint agreement by the city, town, and county to accommodate future municipal growth. Urban sewer services will not be provided to these areas until they have been annexed by the municipality (i.e., Elko New Market). Although the Metropolitan Council provides the majority of the urban sewer service in the seven-county metropolitan area, several smaller, free-standing rural communities in the region (primarily in Carver and Scott Counties), private systems, and independent nations (Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community) provide their own urban services. Where information on their urban service areas are available, it is included in this dataset. Although the information included in this dataset is derived from the communities' 2008 and 2018 comprehensive plans, subsequent plan amendments are intended to be current within 4 months, for exact MUSA information, please contact the community. When referring to CURRENT MUSA extent, this includes areas up to 2025 MUSA. For communities who have had their 2040 Comprehensive Plan adopted (Benchmark 2040), this includes areas up to 2030 MUSA. These data were previously incorporated in the Comprehensive Plan Composite dataset.

This map titled Existing Land Use 1971, depicts land use across the towns and townships that made up York Region at the time. Land uses are categorized using a colour-coded legend identifying residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, open space, pits and quarries, and transportation/utilities. The map highlights concentrated urban development in the southern municipalities, while much of the region remained rural and agricultural, with scattered settlements and resource extraction sites. Compiled from aerial photography and base mapping available in 1970-1971, the map serves as an important reference for understanding historic growth patterns and land use planning in York Region. This map has been georeferenced to York Region for comparison with modern datasets, a process which aligns it with current geographic coordinates. Georeferencing improves the map's spatial accuracy and enables comparison with contemporary mapping, while preserving the original content. Minor spatial discrepancies may exist due to variations in the original map coordinate system versus modern coordinate systems.
