Managing Growth: Secondary Plan Policies and Phasing Development of Greenfield Areas that are greater than approximately 20 hectares shall only proceed in accordance with an approved Secondary Plan. Clarington will also have to develop more detailed phasing policies to guide the Secondary Planning process including: the consideration of the amount of available land infrastructure and public facilities costs fiscal capacity of the municipality

Challenges Accommodating intensification will be a challenge for Clarington Municipality will need to more than double its Intensification rate to meet the Region’s targets community acceptance and support for compact development Large portion of the committed Greenfield (draft approved and proposed) development does not have sufficient services Overall.... Clarington has sufficient land to accommodate the Regional Official Plan population forecasts and intensification targets for the Community. Adoption of sustainable land development principles and building practices is vital to reducing the potential environmental pressures of growth. There will be a need for strong urban design polices to ensure community character is protected and enhanced.
