Direction to Staff

Councillor S. Menard

The Park Development Manual (the Manual) last updated in 2017 is required to be updated again to accommodate changes required by the Parks and Recreation Facilities Master Plan (PRFMP) and Official Plan (OP). Revisions to the Manual are anticipated early in the next term of Council pending Provincial approval of the OP. Given this represents an opportunity to review minimum requirements for parkland dedication, staff are directed to include urban parkettes/plazas as a new park classification for park spaces which are smaller than 400m2 in the classification of park spaces for transect areas which do not meet the active parkland target of 2ha/1000 people. In addition, staff be directed to review the feasibility of accepting parkland before cash in lieu funding (Parkland First Policy) for these small park spaces in transect areas not meeting the active parkland targets as described in PRFMP.

Report recommendation

That Planning Committee recommend Council approve the Parkland First Policy detailed in Document 1.
