What the record shows
The Province's Greenbelt map series names the Town of Ajax on three Protected Countryside sheets, shared with Whitby, Pickering, Oshawa, Scugog, Toronto and Markham, and on the Urban River Valley sheets for Carruthers Creek and Duffins Creek added in 2017. The Province notes that in Urban River Valley areas the Greenbelt Plan's policies apply only to publicly owned land. Land at 765 and 775 Kingston Road East was among the 2022 removals from the Protected Countryside; the Province says all of those lands were returned to the Greenbelt on December 6, 2023.
None of the Oak Ridges Moraine plan's sectional maps or boundary sheets lists Ajax. The Town's zoning by-law refers to the Greenbelt too: a detached accessory dwelling unit in the Greenbelt Plan Area has to meet the Province's Minimum Distance Separation formulae and guidelines. A result from the provincial layers says whether an address falls inside a mapped area and which designation; it is a planning boundary, not a statement about what a particular lot may be used for.
