North Maple Regional Park is envisioned to be an iconic and award-winning park
and a major recreational and cultural destination that responds to and complements its surrounding context
and the character of its site.
GOALS FOR PPP LANDSA memorable park frontage on Keele Street that has a positive impact on the park’s visitors
A PPP land development concept that establishes a symbiotic relationship between the PPP lands, the park and the existing residential community
Integrated road entrances and a multi-modal circulation network that serves both the park and PPP lands and connects to the Block 27 road network
GOALS FOR PARKA park that fosters creativity, imagination and exploration
A park that offers a balance of both active and passive recreational opportunities
A park that is connected to the adjacent open space
A park that incorporates and celebrates its surrounding natural environment and its site’s natural processes through sustainable design
A park that offers multi-season recreational opportunities and 4- season interest

The City must implement the direction from the Regional Official Plan.
The community southwest of Keele Stand Teston Rd has a moderate density, with some townhouses amongst a larger number of detached houses.
The community southeast of Dufferin Stand Teston Rd is made up of detached houses and has a relatively low density.
The community southeast of Keele St and Kirby Rd is relatively dense, and includes a number of townhouses and smaller detached houses.
The communities southwest of DufferinStr and Kirby Rd are made up of detachedhouses on large lots, and consequently havea very low density.
The Region mustimplement the
Provincial Growth Plan.
Density is a measure of people or jobs per area of land. It is used as a means of shaping the direction of development. In general, higher density development will take up less land area for the same number of people than could be accommodated in a lower density form. This project is evaluating the balance between the revenue that could be generated from the PPP Lands, against the land area that could be preserved for parkland along the Keele frontage.
The PPP Lands are made up of a large 14.7 ha parcel, fronting onto Keele Street. Situated between a residential neighbourhood to the north, and an industrial area to the south, they will serve as a future gateway and provide frontage for North Maple Regional Park. They also include a heritage property (the current Vaughan Soccer Club) that is to be retained.
To begin to understand how to best use the PPP Lands, this project is exploring three development scenarios (with three sub-options each). These scenarios will provide a vision for different ways that the land could be developed. The options are summarized as follows:

PPP LANDS SCENARIO 1 LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL 8 ha - 10.5 ha
Low density options explore the development of parts of the PPP Lands with housing. Building types could include detached and semi-detached homes and townhouses. In order to achieve the funds required to support the park, these options would require the largest land area for development.
Considerations > More in keeping with the character of
existing neighbourhoods. > Preserves less land as park. > Not in keeping with policy on density.

PPP LANDS SCENARIO 2 MIXED USE RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL 3.5 ha - 5.75 ha
Medium density options explore the development of parts of the PPP Lands with multi-unit apartment or condominium housing. Some low density housing is also included in two of the options. Due to their greater density, these options would require the smallest land area for development.
Considerations > Preserves the most land as park. > Commerical uses will provide retail
opportunities (shopping, restaurants) and jobs. > Greater density will be more transit supportive. > Aligns with Block 27 and Keele St. approaches.

These options integrate private, revenue-generating sports or cultural facilities onto the PPP Lands, in addition to what is being proposed for the North Maple Regional Park. The facilities may or may not occupy the entire site. A mixed sports/culture and residential option has also been explored.
Considerations > All of Vaughan would benefit from
additional facilities of this type. > May generate substantially less revenue
than the other options. > Possible reduction or elimination of park
