Palermo Village Growth Area Review

We are updating the policies that guide development-related decisions in Palermo Village and adjacent lands on the north side of Dundas Street.  This project will consider revisions to the growth area boundary, the mix of land uses and the scale of future development.

Palermo Village is intended to be a pedestrian-oriented, transit-supportive, urban community with a mix of residential, commercial, community and offices uses.

Recommendation Meeting – March 22, 2021

A recommended town-initiated Official Plan Amendment (OPA 34) for the Palermo Village Growth Area (and North West Area) is now available. The amendment will be presented at Planning and Development Council on March 22, 2021, where Council will be asked to adopt the amendment.

The recommended Official Plan Amendment has been combined with the amendment resulting from the North Oakville West Secondary Plan Review.

A link to the Planning and Development Council Agenda and staff report will be made available approximately one week prior to the meeting.

Growth management

As part of the town’s ongoing Official Plan Review, we are planning how the town will manage growth – new residents and jobs – from now until the year 2041. Our urban structure directs growth to nodes and corridors that are intended to become higher density, transit-supportive, mixed use communities over the long term.

Six nodes (growth areas) are identified in the Livable Oakville Plan to accommodate new growth and development south of Dundas Street — Midtown Oakville, Uptown Core, Palermo Village, Kerr Village, Bronte Village and Downtown Oakville.

We are planning for a bigger Palermo Village node and new nodes around the hospital and Bronte GO station.

Land use planning to enable the creation of a high-density mixed use node at Palermo dates back to the early 1990s. The existing Palermo Village policies in the Livable Oakville Plan are based on the 2003 Palermo Village Centre Land Use Study Update prepared by The Planning Partnership.
