APPENDIX A:POLICIES OF OTHERLEVELS OF GOVERNMENT
As part of a four-level government structure, theCity of Mississauga is subject to the policies of theother three levels and their agencies. AlthoughMississauga may not support all of the policiesand practices of the three levels and may seek toinfluence or change them, these policies constitutepart of the policy-making context in whichMississauga operates.
1. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
Federal Government policies affect Mississaugaboth generally and specifically. Through itsgeneral economic policies, the FederalGovernment exercises considerable influence onthe state of the economy thus affecting the climatefor private and public investment.
Some examples of Federal Government policieswith direct impact on planning in Mississauga arethose concerning the Lester B. PearsonInternational Airport, Canadian TransportCommission, housing, and the location of FederalGovernment office space.
1.1 Lester B. Pearson InternationalAirport
Large areas of land are subjected to noisedisturbance from aircraft operations. FederalGovernment policies and regulations with respectto the role and operation of the Airport willdetermine future restrictions on noise sensitiveland uses.
1.2 Housing
The Federal Government has, in the past,produced a wide range of programs providingfinancial aid for home ownership, residentialrehabilitation, housing for the physicallychallenged, insured mortgage loans, andnot-for-profit housing. Affecting housing, butbroader in scope, have been other programs fornew communities' research and planning. Becausethis Plan is seeking to achieve balanced growthbetween housing supply and employmentopportunities, these types of Federal Governmentprograms are of significance to Mississauga.
1.3 Federal Government Offices
The Federal Government is also involved indecentralizing some of its operations from Ottawa.The relocation of some of the office activities toMississauga could help the viability of the CityCentre and Employment Centres.
CITY PLAN
Amended: APPENDIX A: POLICIES OF OTHER LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT 2000 AprilA-2
2. PROVINCIALGOVERNMENT
Since the Provincial Government is responsiblefor municipalities, the significance of the actionsand policies of the Provincial Government forMississauga is greater and more direct than that ofthe Federal Government.
The influence of the Provincial Government onMississauga is divided into two categories -regulatory and planning.
Regulatory authority is exercised primarily by theOntario Municipal Board (OMB). RezoningBy-laws may be given approval by the OMB andall or part of plans of subdivision, Official Plans,or amendments thereto, may be appealed to theOMB for approval. The Official Plan and allamendments thereto are given final approval bythe Provincial Government unless appealed to theOMB.
In addition, the OMB sets the upper limit on thedebt that municipalities may incur and, therefore,affects the capability of the City to accommodatenew development.
While the Provincial Government regulatoryauthority exerts essentially a negative influence inthat it establishes what the City may not do,Provincial Government planning authorityprovides a positive influence by establishing aframe of reference in which planning in the Cityshould take place. The most important programsto the City are those concerned with financialresources, transportation, land use, housing,environmental planning, and hydro.
2.1 Financial Resources
The financial policies of the ProvincialGovernment not only affect the general economicclimate, but also determine the capacity of theCity to accommodate new development. As notedpreviously, the OMB sets the upper limit on thedebt that a municipality may incur. Since theother sources of revenue (property tax anddevelopment charges) do not meet the demand forfunds, the City is dependent on ProvincialGovernment assistance. The amount of ProvincialGovernment assistance is a significant factor indetermining both the service levels provided andthe rate and amount of development that can beaccommodated by the City.
2.2 Transportation(By-law No. 0023-2000 ~ CPA-78)
Since transportation facilities affect and areaffected by land use patterns, ProvincialGovernment transportation policies are animportant aspect of planning and development inthe City. The Provincial Government mainlyexercises jurisdiction over those roads designatedas Provincial highways as shown on Map 1,Provincial Highways and Greater TorontoServices Board Rail Facilities.
The Greater Toronto Services Board is responsiblefor commuter rail (Lakeshore, Georgetown, andMilton facilities) and bus commuter serviceswhich run through the City, as well as the busfacilities which connect the City to points beyondits boundaries.
Map 1, Provincial Highways and Greater TorontoServices Board Rail Facilities, shows thecommuter rail and highway facilities under thejurisdiction of the Greater Toronto ServicesBoard.
By exercising direct control of transportationservices through construction, the ProvincialGovernment constitutes an important factor in theattempt of the City to achieve a better balancebetween employment opportunities and housingsupply, establishing a viable core for the City, andgenerally accommodating the transportationdemands of both existing and new development.
2.3 Land Use
During the past 25 years, the ProvincialGovernment has engaged in various planninginitiatives for the Greater Toronto Area (GTA),defined as Toronto and the Regions of Durham,York, Halton, and Peel. Beginning in the late1960's with the Toronto Centred Region Plan andcontinuing with the Central Ontario LakeshoreUrban Complex Study in the 1970's, theProvincial Government has attempted to providea regional frame of reference within whichProvincial Government planning decisions wouldbe made and municipal plans evaluated.
In 1987 the Greater Toronto Co-ordinatingCommittee (now known as the Office of theGreater Toronto Area) was established by theProvincial Government to attempt to prepare aStrategic Action Plan, including animplementation process.
CITY PLAN

2.4 Housing
Provincial Government housing programs exist toprovide financial assistance in the form of grants,subsidies, and loans for various aspects ofhousing, including home ownership, rentalsupplements, renewal and improvements,not-for-profit, intensification, and special types ofhousing for students and senior citizens.
2.5 Environmental Planning
Environmental planning encompasses a widerange of government jurisdictions. NumerousFederal and Provincial Government Acts establishmandates for particular aspects of environmentalplanning. The majority of these Acts areimplemented by the Provincial Government.
2.6 Ontario Hydro
The City is traversed by a number of OntarioHydro rights-of-way as shown on Map 2, OntarioHydro Facilities.
3. REGIONAL AUTHORITIES
3.1 Region of Peel
Mississauga is a constituent municipality of theRegion of Peel. As established by legislation, theRegion has jurisdiction over police, certain healthand welfare services (including day nurseries andsenior citizen housing), water supply, sanitarysewers, and waste disposal facilities. Part of theroad system within Mississauga is also underRegional jurisdiction. In addition, the Actestablishing the Region of Peel requires that theRegion adopt a Regional Official Plan. TheMississauga Official Plan would have to conformto the Regional Official Plan. In mid-1974, theRegion was delegated the responsibility ofmonitoring consents and variances, including theresponsibility of commenting to the OMB onZoning By-laws and Appeals. In mid-1975, theRegion received Provincial Government authorityfor approving plans of subdivision. Further, inJune 1977, the Region received authority toapprove condominium applications.
The Region, under agreement with the ProvincialGovernment, provides sanitary sewer, and potablewater supply facilities to serve the South PeelService Area which includes the City. Thesefacilities include 2 major water pollution controlplants and associated trunk sanitary sewercollection systems, and a water supply systemconsisting of water purification plants, reservoirs,elevated tanks, pumping stations, and trunkwatermains. The servicing systems are shownschematically on Map 3, South Peel SanitarySewer and Water Supply Facilities.
Both the location and capacity of water supply andsanitary sewer facilities constitute an importantinfluence on development. These systems must becontinually expanded to accommodate newdevelopment in the South Peel Service Area, andthe Region is responsible for the planning dataupon which the Provincial Government expansionplans are formulated. The Region has financialresponsibility for the South Peel Service System.
3.2 Other Regional Authorities
In addition to Regional Government, there arethree Conservation Authorities responsible forareas within Mississauga as shown on Map 4,Jurisdiction of Conservation Authorities. Theseauthorities comment on development applicationsin the interests of flood control and conservation.Participation in the planning and development ofopen space areas is exemplified by the role ofCredit Valley Conservation in the planning andimplementation of the Waterfront Plan for theCity.
The City is also served by two School Boards: theDufferin-Peel Roman Catholic Separate School
CITY PLAN
Amended: APPENDIX A: POLICIES OF OTHER LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT 2000 AprilA-4
Board; and the Peel District School Board; both ofwhich are concerned with provision of schoolfacilities and comment on planning anddevelopment proposals.
4. POLICIES OFNEIGHBOURINGMUNICIPALITIES
Mississauga is affected by some of the actions andpolicies of neighbouring municipalities.Mississauga is located between a highly developedurban centre on one side (Toronto) and a mixedsuburban and rural area on the other (Halton) aswell as Brampton to the north.

APPENDIX J:MATURE HIGHOCCUPANCY VEHICLE(HOV) NETWORK
The City of Mississauga in cooperation with theRegion of Peel and the Ministry of Transportationhas prepared a long term network strategy forHigh Occupancy Vehicle lanes.
The purpose of the HOV lanes is to encourageridership and transit use through the designation ofthese special priority lanes.
The HOV network is based on a joint planningstudy undertaken by the City of Mississauga,Region of Peel and the Ministry of Transportationand is intended to form a comprehensive networkintegrating roadways under all three jurisdictions.
The actual construction of the network will bephased in over a long period of time, based ondemand and availability of funding.

Amended: APPENDIX K: MISSISSAUGA TRANSITWAY STAGING STRATEGY 2000 AprilA-27
APPENDIX K:MISSISSAUGATRANSITWAY STAGINGSTRATEGY(By-law No. 0023-2000 ~ CPA-78)
The implementation of the Transitway will dependon many factors, chief among them beingdevelopment growth in Mississauga, growth intransit demand, availability of funding, and publicparticipation in the project.
The need for the Transitway and its staging willlargely depend on the status of developmentgrowth included in the City Plan. The majortransportation studies carried out by the Cityindicated that the City's existing and planned roadnetwork alone cannot accommodate thedevelopment growth being planned for the Cityand a greater usage of transit is required toaccommodate the increase in travel demand. TheTransitway is planned as a high order transitsystem to meet the projected increase in transitdemand and its implementation will tie in with theextent of development growth in the City.
The need for public participation is recognized inthe implementation of the Transitway. TheMississauga Transitway Advisory Committee wasformed in 1992 with representation from eachward in the City. The Committee serves as forumwhere the status of Transitway and its precursorprojects are discussed in order that city widepublic input is obtained.
The following are the staging strategies includedin the 1992 Mississauga TransitwayEnvironmental Assessment Study:
1. Introduce express and improved/rationalizedlocal bus services in the BurnhamthorpeRoad/Highway 403/Eglinton Corridor, inorder to build and focus transit ridership.
2. Construct those key station sites which willbe the major interchange stations of theTransitway. These potential stations includeCity Centre Station, Renforth Station andErin Mills Station.
3. Implement priority measures which favourthe operation of High Occupancy Vehicles(HOV) and buses on the road network.These priority measures will include theconstruction of HOV lanes on major transitcorridors and highway shoulders as well asproviding priorities for HOVs and buses atmajor traffic intersections. The HOV laneswill be upgraded to Reserved Bus (RB) laneswhen transit ridership builds up.
4. Construct initial segments of the Transitwayin areas where operation of buses on the roadnetwork is most constrained. These potentialareas include the crossing of the CreditRiver, the Hurontario-Dixie Corridor andEglinton Avenue.
5. Operate Transitway service on a mix ofpriority lanes, Transitway segments and newroadways such as the Centre View Driveserving the City Centre area.
6. Continue to expand the Transitway in areasof greatest benefit, ultimately to reach itsentire planned length.
7. Phase in stations on the Transitway, bothsequentially and in terms of size and scope.Some stations may be long-term projects,while others may start as simple platformsand gradually improve in quality and size asdemand grows.
The implementation strategy may also vary,potentially differing significantly from thatdescribed above. For these reasons, the discussioncontained in this Appendix should be treated as forinformation only.

APPENDIX N:TRANSIT MODE SPLITTARGET
The following transit model split target for tripswithin and to/from the City by MississaugaTransit and GO Transit will be used:
Year Percentage of trips usingtransit
(a.m. peak hour)
1991 14% observed
2011 30% target
The target represents the transit mode split thatwill be required to accommodate the projectedgrowth. The target will be monitored, reviewedand updated periodically in conjunction with theactual development growth and the City'spopulation and employment projections. Thestrategy for the long term transit system and itsimplementation are set forth in the Transit policiesof this Plan. The transit mode split target cannotbe achieved only by the construction of the longterm transit system of the City, but will require thecooperation and support of other levels ofgovernment, the private sector, and the entirecommunity for those policies which will improvethe competitiveness of transit relative to lowoccupancy vehicles on the road.

APPENDIX Q:REGIONAL STORMFLOODLINE - SPECIALPOLICY AREAS
Provincial Government floodplain managementpolicies specify that, in most circumstances, theRegulatory Flood (generated by the RegionalStorm event as defined by the appropriateConservation Authority) will represent theminimum level of protection for newdevelopment. Pursuant to the Provincial PolicyStatement the Toronto and Region ConservationAuthority (TRCA) has adopted a One Zoneapproach to floodplain management whereby newdevelopment is prohibited or restricted. TheProvincial Government policy, which isimplemented for the Etobicoke Creek watershedby the TRCA, also recognizes that this level ofprotection is not realistic or practicable insituations where development has historicallyoccurred in a floodplain, and infill developmentand redevelopment cannot reasonably beprohibited. Accordingly, Provincial Governmentpolicy provides for the establishment of SpecialPolicy Areas for which Provincial Governmentstandards for floodplain management are relaxedto recognize certain exceptional situations.
Two types of Special Policy Areas are recognized:
• where floodproofing to the regulatory level isnot provided;
• where development is proposed in thefloodway.
Special Policy Area status will be approved onlyin circumstances where the two-zone concept offloodplain management cannot be reasonablyapplied (i.e. development in the flood fringecannot be flood-proofed to the level of theRegulatory Flood) and where a compellingrationale for this status is established in terms ofspecific criteria.
The following criteria apply to the definition of aSpecial Policy Area within a floodplain:
• existing development represents an integralcomponent of the community and contributesto municipal economic and social viability(e.g. designated for development in OfficialPlan, municipal investment in services);
• degree of flood hazard (e.g. depth offlooding, velocity of flow, upstream anddownstream effects, frequency of ice jams).
For spill zones or situations where shallowflooding occurs at low velocity of flow, thefollowing criteria apply:
• depth of flood water (generally, 1 m or less);
• velocity of flow (generally, 1 m/second orless);
• site conditions (emergency access toflood-proofed structures, protection ofutilities and services).
Two sites in Mississauga satisfy ProvincialGovernment criteria for designation as SpecialPolicy Areas; the sites are also designated asSpecial Policy Areas by the TRCA. The site at theintersection of Dundas Street East and EtobicokeCreek is situated within the floodplain ofEtobicoke Creek. Most of the lands have beendeveloped for industrial and commercial uses andare designated Arterial Commercial and BusinessEmployment. Potential exists for some infill andredevelopment. The site east of Dixie Road andnorth of Dundas Street East represents a spill zoneassociated with the Regional Storm floodplainovertopping the south bank of Little EtobicokeCreek. There are mixed industrial and commercialuses east of Dixie Road.

Airport Zoning Regulations are imposed by theMinister of Transport under authority of theFederal Aeronautics Act to ensure aviation safetyand protection to the public and to maintain theoperational integrity of the airport. The Toronto– Lester B. Pearson International Airport ZoningRegulations were revised and registered on titlesof affected land parcels in the appropriate LandTitles Offices and Land Registry Offices of theProvince of Ontario on 2000 March 27.
Airport Zoning Regulations are enacted to:
• Limit the height of buildings, structures andobjects, including objects of natural growth,in the area surrounding the airport;
• Restrict the dumping of waste materialswhich might attract birds on lands adjacent tothe airport;
• Protect lands which house and are affectedby navigational aids such as radar andcommunications equipment.
DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED ONAPPENDIX S:
Airport Reference Point
The designated point or points on an airportnormally located near the geometric centre of therunway complex that:
• establishes the geographical location of anairport for charting purposes;
• establishes the locus of the radius or radii ofthe outer surface.
Obstacle Limitation Surface
A surface that establishes the limit to whichobjects may project into the airspace associatedwith an aerodrome so that aircraft operations at theaerodrome may be conducted safely. ObstacleLimitation Surfaces include a takeoff surface, anapproach surface, a transitional surface and anouter surface.
Outer Surface
A surface located in a horizontal plane above anaerodrome and its environs. The outer surface isrequired for the protection of aircraft conductinga circling procedure or manoeuvring in thevicinity of an aerodrome.
Runway Strip
A defined area including the runway and stopway,intended to reduce the risk of damage to aircraftrunning off a runway and to protect aircraft flyingover it during takeoff or landing operations.
Takeoff/Approach Surface
An inclined plane beyond the end of a runway andpreceding the threshold of a runway.
Transitional Surface
A complex surface along the side of the runwaystrip and part of the side of the approach surface,that slopes upwards and outwards to the outersurface. Its purpose is to ensure the safety ofaircraft at low altitudes displaced from the centreline in the approach or missed approach phase.
