Rattlesnake Point land use. Hot off the press. Halton Region recently (june 2020) published their discussion paper for the Integrated Growth Management Strategy, Regional Urban Structure.
Rattlesnake Point Golf is located on Regional Road #25 and on the north is Brittania Road.
#25 is described in the report as a Higher Order Transit Corridor. Further, both roads are designated as Transit Priority Corridors. The maps project the expansion of the roads to 6 lanes including HOV lanes. The land use for adjacent lands (in our case, the golf course) is described below.
ROPR is a regional official plan review.
The Growth Plan (2019) requires lands that are adjacent to or near existing and planned
frequent transit should be planned to be transit-supportive including a range and mix of
uses. The delineation of corridors as part of the Regional Urban Structure will be
considered through the ROPR and could include a policy framework that would support
the development of those areas and build key inter and intra-regional transportation
connections. As part of the policy framework to direct the intensification of corridors, an
opportunity exists to consider assigning density targets to these areas in consultation
with the Local Municipalities. The delineation and assignment of targets will ensure that
growth is focused on key corridors to support existing and future transit service. The
identification of specific corridors is based on the MMS and DMTR, which established a
network of east-west and north-south connections across the Region. The location of
corridors may change based on local input and studies.
For Rattlesnake to have real value, it needs to be captured by designated growth ares by extensons of the urban area. Area 1 below is Rattlesnake Point.
As shown on Figure 29, potential locations for new Community Area DGA, which provide
for the contiguous extension of the existing urban area, include a southerly and/or
westerly expansion of the Georgetown Urban Area (Areas A and B), southerly expansions
of the Milton Urban Area (Areas 1 to 4), and conversion of the South Agerton employment.

These reports are relied on by the Region to conform to Provincial guidelines. They have been put together over several years. They are subject to discussion, but bottom line, significant growth in value is taking place for this 500 acre property. Rattlesnake has no adjacent NIMBY housing to frustrate land use changes.
Value of lands that make into alternate use would exceed a million per acre.
