METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
BRIEF TO
THE COMMISSION ON PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT REFORM IN ONTARIO
March, 1993
OVERVIEW
Ex�l`73
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has previously submitted comments to the
Commission with respect to its interests in and concerns with the municipal planning process. In February,
1992, staff met with the Commission and summarized Authority interests as follows:
1. Natural resource systems must be protected, maintained and, where degraded, enhanced to
ensure long -term quality of life and health.
2. The natural resource system must be defined to ensure its functions, forms and features can
continue. The system contains significant core areas, corridors and connecting linkages
which, together, support an integrated natural environment. The definitions must be clear
and become entrenched in the planning process.
3. Only uses which do not impact the features, forms, and functions of the natural system
should be permitted within the system.
4. Uses adjacent to natural areas must not impact their form, functions, or features.
5. Identifying the natural system and designating it as a "green infrastructure" which is not
available for development must be the first step in any land use planning exercise.
6. Potential cumulative impacts on the natural system must be recognized and addressed at the
beginning of the planning process.
The Commission, in its Draft Report, has addressed many of the issues raised by the Authority, by
recommending that one of the "purposes" of municipal planning should be to protect and conserve the
natural environment and foster the well -being of ecosystems for the benefit of present and future
generations ". This will be an important change to the Act, which has previously served more as a guide for
how to develop land.
RECOMMENDATION: THAT THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
ENDORSE THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMMISSION THAT ONE OF THE
PURPOSES OF MUNICIPAL PLANNING BE TO PROTECT AND CONSERVE THE
NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.
PLANNING ON A WATERSHED BASIS
The Commission has recommended that the Planning Act should require that, in preparing plans, upper -tier
municipalities must develop policies based on studies done on a watershed basis" and that "conservation
authorities should be given a clear mandate to prepare watershed and sub - watershed studies ".
Authority staff was concerned that use of the word "should" rather than "shall" meant that these activities
were to be optional. The Commission's intent was clarified, to staff, at the public forum on February 23,
1993, at Metro Hall. The recommendation is to make planning on a watershed basis a requirement in the
revised Act. Staff, prior to this clarification, had suggested to the Commission that the principle of watershed
planning be included as a statement of provincial policy. Given that the recommendation is to establish this
process as a municipal requirement, not an option, this may not be necessary: however, there would be
benefit to linking the watershed planning process with the province's objectives for "Natural Heritage and
Ecosystem Protection and Restoration ". A recommendation to this effect is made later in this brief.
EX319z
Under the Conservation Authorities Act, authorities are given the power:
"to study and investigate the watershed and to determine a program whereby the natural resources of
the watershed may be conserved, restored, developed and managed ". Section 21(a).
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has established the Don Watershed Task Force,
which we believe could be a model for the type of process that would study and evaluate watershed
resources; involve all stakeholders including municipalities, interested citizens, ministries and other public
agencies; identify the characteristics and condition of the natural heritage system within the watershed;
establish a vision for the watershed; identify the protection, management and restoration requirements and the
programs necessary for their achievement; and agree upon the responsibilities for, phasing and funding of
implementation.
RECOMMENDATION: THAT THE AUTHORITY PROVIDE THE COMMISSION WITH INFORMATION
REGARDING THE DON WATERSHED TASK FORCE AS A MODEL OF A PROCESS
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A WATERSHED STRATEGY.
One of the first steps for the Don Watershed Task Force was the identification of watershed resources and the
preparation of a "State of the Ecosystem" report, another recommendation of the Commission which could be
partially fulfilled through the watershed planning process - that part related to the natural environment.
Monitoring of changing conditions will be an ongoing process.
We believe that this process gives effect to the recommendations of the Commission and that the Authority,
having the watershed as its area of jurisdiction, an existing mandate, and acting as a partnership between
municipal and provincial governments, can coordinate this work.
In the discussion of watershed planning, there is a concern expressed that this process could be perceived as
shifting land use decision- making from municipalities to conservation authorities. The Metropolitan Toronto
and Region Conservation Authority undertakes to coordinate the development of a watershed strategy and to
ensure that all interested stakeholders within the watershed are provided an opportunity to participate. With a
watershed strategy in place, all stakeholders, including the conservation authority and the municipalities within
the watershed, would have agreed upon which lands were not suitable for development and on the
performance standards necessary for protection, enhancement and /or restoration of the natural heritage
system. In our opinion, the municipality would then determine the appropriate uses on those lands that have
been deemed suitable for development. With full participation there should not be a concern for the loss of
municipal decision- making powers.
RECOMMENDATION: THAT CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES COORDINATE THE WATERSHED PLANNING
PROCESS ENSURING THE INVOLVEMENT OF ALL INTERESTED CITIZENS,
MUNICIPALITIES, PROVINCIAL MINISTRIES AND AGENCIES; AND,
THAT, IN PREPARING PLANS, MUNICIPALITIES DEVELOP POLICIES BASED ON
STUDIES DONE ON A WATERSHED BASIS.
The core areas, corridors and connecting links of the natural heritage system would be identified as a major
component of the "State of the Ecosystem" report, at the start -up of the development of the watershed
strategy. This process should be cross - referenced in the proposed provincial policy statements as a
mechanism to achieve provincial objectives.
(ie., Policy A. 2., page 24: "....endangered species habitat will be identified, as a part of the watershed and
subwatershed planning processes, and...)
2
EX`l /93
RECOMMENDATION: THAT THE WORDING OF THE SECTION(S) OF THE PROPOSED PROVINCIAL POLICY
STATEMENTS DEALING WITH THE NATURAL HERITAGE SYSTEM, BE AMENDED
TO ADD REFERENCE TO THE WATERSHED AND SUBWATERSHED PLANNING
PROCESSES AS MECHANISMS WHEREBY THESE AREAS CAN BE IDENTIFIED AND
PROTECTED.
With respect to the distinction made between regional and local significance, the Authority is of the opinion
that a systems approach to natural heritage resources cannot differentiate levels of significance. The practice
of priorizing, ranking or assigning relative values to natural heritage features is no longer relevant if a systems
approach is taken. Within the system, all components contribute to overall health and are interrelated. For
example, research into the functioning of watercourses has shown that the loss of headwaters tributaries,
small watercourses previously considered only Locally significant, will, over time, affect downstream areas in
two ways. First, the loss of numerous small natural storage areas and runoff attenuation in the upstream
sections of a watershed can impact the main stem of the watershed causing it to adjust and deepen and can
increase the frequency of flooding and erosion and decrease water quality. Secondly, the loss of headwaters
habitats and natural nutrient sources can result in biologically depressed river and estuary ecosystems. These
characteristics are exhibited within the urbanized watersheds within the Greater Toronto Area and considerable
time and money is being spent on their rehabilitation.
RECOMMENDATION: THAT THE COMMISSION DELETE REFERENCES TO REGIONAL AND LOCAL
SIGNIFICANCE FROM ITS RECOMMENDATIONS RESPECTING PROVINCIAL
POLICIES FOR NATURAL HERITAGE PROTECTION IN ORDER TO ENSURE A
SYSTEMS APPROACH.
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The Commission has recommended that the Province establish development standards that "should respect
and protect significant natural and cultural features ", including standards for storm - surface drainage; setbacks;
and plantings, parks and open space. The Authority has some concerns with respect to the establishment of
provincial standards related to the natural heritage system. The tendency in building standards is to ensure the
minimum rather than to require the maximum. If that same approach were to be applied to the natural
heritage system, we would anticipate considerable degradation. The Commission supports the protection,
enhancement and restoration of the natural heritage system and should clarify its objectives specific to these
recommended standards. In the case of ecosystems, it would seem preferable to have provincial objectives,
rather than to set minimum performance standards. As discussed, above, we would see the establishment of
specific standards related to the natural heritage system occurring as a part of the watershed strategy and
being directly related to achieving the goals and objectives of the individual watershed.
RECOMMENDATION: THAT, SHOULD THE PROVINCE PROCEED TO ESTABLISH DEVELOPMENT
STANDARDS WITH RESPECT TO THE FORM, FEATURES AND /OR FUNCTIONS OF
THE NATURAL HERITAGE SYSTEM, CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
REPRESENTATION BE INCLUDED ON THE COMMITTEE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS
TASK.
The Commission also recommends that municipalities consider delegating to staff the authority to approve
variances of up to 10% from zoning controls for existing buildings or structures. If this recommendation were
in place and standards related to the natural heritage system had been adopted, we are concerned that this
would permit these standards to be compromised without consultation and could result in cumulative impacts.
The Commission has also recommended that lot- creation, rezoning and development permit applications that
may have a potential impact on environmental features and /or functions be accompanied by an environmental
impact statement. The Commission, however, assumes "smaller projects would not be subject to this kind of
review ". The intent of this exemption needs to be clarified to ensure that "small" but potentially harmful
projects can be brought into the process and, further, to recognize that the cumulative impacts of a number of
"small projects" can be significant.

Exs /93
RECOMMENDATION: THAT THE COMMISSION GIVE FURTHER CONSIDERATION TO THE DEVELOPMENT
CONTROL MECHANISMS PROPOSED AND THEIR ABILITY TO ENSURE THE
PROTECTION, ENHANCEMENT AND RESTORATION OF THE NATURAL HERITAGE
SYSTEM.
THE CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES ACT
In addition to its recommendations respecting watershed planning, the Commission has made a number of
comments and suggestions with respect to conservation authorities;
that consideration be given to delegating the issuance of water- taking permits to conservation
authorities;
that the mandate of authorities to address ecosystem protection matters through Fill,
Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulations be clarified; and
that appeals regarding conservation authority permits be referred to the Ontario Municipal
Board rather than the Commissioner of Lands and Mines.
All of these suggestions are consistent with recommended amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act
which this Authority and the Association of Conservation Authorities have supported for some time. The
Commission is specifically responsible for recommending changes to The Planning Act and for identifying other
issues related to the planning and development process in Ontario. It is most helpful to have the
Commission's support in bringing forward the issue of amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act.
RECOMMENDATION: THAT THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
REQUEST THE COMMISSION TO REITERATE ITS SUGGESTIONS WITH RESPECT TO
AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES ACT AS A PART OF ITS
FINAL REPORT AND THAT THEY BE STATED AS RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE
PROVINCE OF ONTARIO.
LAND STEWARDSHIP
The Commission has included a discussion of Land Stewardship under Other Issues. Land Stewardship has
been recommended by the Authority as one mechanism for the protection, enhancement and restoration of the
natural heritage system. While many recent reports have recommended this mechanism, there has been little
done to develop stewardship information packages that would assist private landowners in practising good
land management both on large rural lots and where urban and suburban properties abut components of the
natural heritage system. Given that this resource would be a valuable tool across the Province, it would seem
appropriate for it to de developed by a Provincial ministry based on input from various ministries and agencies.
Local watershed characteristics and management requirements would be addressed as a part of the
development of the watershed strategy and subwatershed plans.
RECOMMENDATION: THAT THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO COORDINATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
PRIVATE LAND STEWARDSHIP MANUAL TO ENCOURAGE GOOD LAND
MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON PRIVATE LANDS AND OF A PRIVATE LAND
STEWARDSHIP PARTNERSHIP AMONGST INTERESTED MINISTRIES AND
AGENCIES, INCLUDING CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES, TO FACILITATE
IMPLEMENTATION.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
In making its recommendations with respect to watershed planning and the role of conservation authorities in
the process of planning and development in Ontario, the Commission has recognized that there will be a
financial impact on authorities. Authorities have advocated watershed planning as a first step in the planning
process and now must be prepared to coordinate the development of these strategies. This is consistent with
the position taken by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority that its role be that of
watershed manager. In the short term, there will be a need to allocate funds to start up the development of
watershed strategies. This may result in a delay in implementing other specific projects, however, will be of
long term benefit in achieving the environmental goals of the Authority and its watershed municipalities.
RECOMMENDATION: THAT THE METROPOLITAN TORONTO AND REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
DISCUSS WITH ITS MEMBER MUNICIPALITIES AND THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO
THE FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF AND OPPORTUNITIES TO ACCELERATE THE
DEVELOPMENT OF INDIVIDUAL WATERSHED STRATEGIES.
