Residential Subdivision Environmental Impact Statement
Residential Subdivision Environmental Impact Statement
An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was completed for a residential development located on Snively Street in the North Urban Development Area of the Town of Richmond Hill ON.  The area is fully encompassed by Official Plan Amendment No. 129 for the Town, fully situated within the Oak Ridges Moraine Planning Area.

The Town provided terms of reference for implementation studies including the EIS, within OPA 129.  In accordance, the EIS includes:

  • Identification and description of the character, natural attributes and functions of the environmental features and the relationship to the proposed development
  • Identification of potential impacts of the proposed development on environmental features
  • Recommendation of specific measures to mitigate potential impacts on environmental features
  • Outline of a management plan to protect and enhance or rehabilitate environmental features during and following development construction
  • Outline of a monitoring plan to ensure that the plans and recommendations of this report are carried out through, during and following construction

We undertook a concordance between the EIS requirements under OPA 129 and the requirements of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan to develop a harmonized work program to satisfy both planning processes.
