Program Expansion - Sustainable King: Green Development Standards Program
The Project Team are happy to announce that the draft for the first expansion to the Sustainable King: Green Development Standards Program is now available in the Document Library on the SpeaKING project page! The Sustainable King: Green Development Standards Program – Single Family Dwellings has been developed to expand upon the sustainability policies outlined in the Township’s Our King Official Plan and Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (Sustainable King), and to build upon the Program as released in 2020. This Program expansion is proposed to apply to Site Plan applications for single family dwellings throughout the Township to ensure that all new development aligns with the vision of sustainability for the community.
The Sustainable King: Green Development Standards Program – Single Family Dwellings encourages new dwellings and residential development to protect and enhance the natural environment while utilizing efficient, innovative and sustainable measures. The development metrics propose to reduce the environmental and carbon footprint of developments by incorporating alternative energy sources, innovative landscaping, and green technologies. The metrics also encourage the identification, protection, enhancement, and restoration of the natural environment.
All Site Plan Applications for single family dwellings submitted to the Township under the Planning Act in accordance with Site Plan Control By-law 2022-054, as amended (or its successor), are proposed to be required to address the metrics of the Program as part of a Complete Application through the submission of the Sustainable King: Green Development Standards Program Table (Appendix A).
The Project Team appreciates all feedback on the proposed Program Expansion! If you have any questions, comments or thoughts please contact Aloma Dreher, Senior Policy Planner at adreher@king.ca, or at 905-833-5321, ext. 1004 by November 14, 2022. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
