The purpose of this proposed omnibus amendment to Town of Oakville Zoning By-law 2009-189, as amended, is to make a number of housekeeping, technical and other modifications affecting all Zones, which would assist in the use and interpretation of the Zoning By-law and implement the Official Plan.

The effect of the omnibus amendment to Zoning By-law 2009-189 would be as follows:

Zoning By-law 2009-189, as amended, applies to all lands north of Dundas Street and south of Highway 407. All lands subject to Zoning By-law 2009-189, as amended, are affected by the proposed amendments to the text of the By-law. A number of individual sites are also affected by the proposed amendment through amended or additional site-specific regulations.

If a person or public body would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of the Town of Oakville to the Ontario Land Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to Council c/o the Town Clerk at the Town of Oakville, Clerk’s department, 1225 Trafalgar Road, Oakville, ON L6H 0H3 (Dropbox is located in front of Town Hall) or at TownClerk@oakville.ca before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision.

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to Council c/o the Town Clerk at the Town of Oakville, Clerk’s department, before the by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.
