Uptown Core Growth Area Review
Development-related decisions in the Uptown Core and adjacent lands east of Trafalgar Road and north of Dundas Street.
As part of the town’s Official Plan Review we are updating the policies that guide development-related decisions in the Uptown Core and adjacent lands east of Trafalgar Road and north of Dundas Street. The Uptown Core Growth Area Review is a study required by the Province of Ontario.
This project will consider revisions to the growth area boundary, the mix of land uses and the scale of future development.
It is intended that the Uptown Core will continue to function as a node for mixed use development and intensification supported by higher order transit as directed by the approved urban structure.
