  May 15, 2023, Planning and Development Committee Motion – Toronto Gore Estate Residential Area

  Whereas on April 6, 2023, Ontario announced the next steps in its plan to build 1.5 million homes by 2031 including the introduction of Bill 97, the Helping Homebuyers, Protecting Tenants Act, 2023 (“Bill 97”), and the release of a draft Provincial Planning Statement to replace the current Provincial Policy Statement and the Growth Plan;

  Whereas the City of Brampton’s Housing Pledge was approved on March 8, 2023, to support the province’s direction for Brampton to accommodate 113,000 residential units by 2031, which accelerates the city’s growth targets over the next eight years;

  Whereas in addition to the provincial legislative changes, there has been a growing movement across North America to re-examine the planning designations in neighbourhoods to increase opportunities for new residents;

  Whereas Brampton’s Official Plan designates approximately 600 hectares of land for “Estate Residential” purposes in Toronto Gore that are permitted to be developed for primarily single detached dwellings on lots ranging in area from 1.0 acre to 2.0 acres;

  Whereas the Toronto Gore has access to amenities including schools, public facilities, parks and shopping, which sets Toronto Gore apart from estate residential areas in neighbouring communities, such as Caledon, Vaughan and King Township that are much more rural in character; and

  Whereas there may be opportunities to add small-scale residential intensification (e.g. lot severances and new housing types) while maintaining the community attributes of the Toronto Gore estate residential area.

  Therefore, Be It Resolved That Council direct staff to review and report back on the following:

  1. To undertake a Toronto Gore Estate Residential Area Infill and Intensification Study to determine the feasibility of permitting and accommodating small scale residential infill and intensification (including servicing capacity).

  2. To provide recommendations on the policy framework, regulations and tools that would be required to ensure the development of compatible lot sizes and housing forms in the established estate residential area.

  3. To undertake a comprehensive community engagement program with residents, public agencies and the development industry.

  PDC063-2023

  That the Planning and Development Committee do now adjourn to meet again for a Regular Meeting on Monday, June 5, 2023, at 7:00 p.m. or at the call of the Chair.

Discussion Item at the Request of Mayor Brown re. Banning of Caste Classifications

Note: Council agreed to vary the order of business and dealt with this matter after Closed Session.

The following motion was introduced and considered.

• C128-2023
  Moved by Regional Councillor Toor
  Seconded by Mayor Patrick Brown

  WHEREAS, Caste-based oppression is experienced by various faith communities in South Asia, the Caribbean and parts of Africa and East Asia;

  WHEREAS there are documented cases of caste-based discrimination in the diaspora in Canada;

  WHEREAS, Caste may be identified by but not limited to an individual’s last name, family occupation, diet and area of origin, and self-identification can be unsafe when caste-based discrimination is not recognized;

  WHEREAS, the Ontario Human Rights Commission examines the roots of discrimination, develops policy for preventing different forms of discrimination and works to raise awareness of human rights issues; the Ontario Human Rights Commission has the staff capacity, expertise and legal obligation to assess and provide framework for caste oppression in a public education context

  Therefore, be it resolved:

  That the City of Brampton Diversity and Equity Office work with the Ontario Human Rights Commission, to request that they assess and provide a framework for addressing caste oppression in a municipal governance and service context; and That the resulting framework be adopted as part of the Diversity and Equity Office’s report on all anti-discrimination based policies in the City of Brampton.

  Carried

13.2

Motion re. Dedicated Feeding Spaces 

Note: Council agreed to vary the order of business and dealt with this matter after Closed Session.

A revised motion was introduced, displayed and considered as follows.

• C129-2023
  Moved by Regional Councillor Toor

  Whereas the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects breastfeeding women from discrimination based on sex and guarantees “gender equality” under the law and the City of Brampton is a breastfeeding friendly organization and welcomes all mothers who breastfeed their baby;

  Whereas you can nurse a baby out in public wherever you and your baby are allowed to be but a mother may prefer or require a quiet or private space to breastfeed;

  Whereas any caregiver may require or prefer a quiet or private space to nurse or feed the baby they are caring for;

  Whereas, while the City of Brampton provides accommodations for parents looking to nurse or bottle feed in a private space, it does not have dedicated, breastfeeding or bottle feeding spaces for families;

  Therefore be it resolved:

  That staff be directed to report back at a future Committee or Council meeting on options for possible implementation within all City-owned facilities to allow mothers to breastfeed or caregivers to bottle feed in a quiet and private space should they prefer to do so, while being mindful of policy which protects mothers who are free to breastfeed in public spaces as they choose.
