The effect of the recommended amendment includes changes to:

• Add Commercial Nodes and revise specific locations of the Primary and Secondary Activity Nodes on Figure NOE1 Community Structure.

The recommended amendment will result in changes to the following parts of the North Oakville East Secondary Plan:

• Section 7.3.2 Urban Core;
• Section 7.3.3 Residential Neighbourhoods;
• New Section 7.3.4 Commercial; 
• Section 7.5.7 Parking Areas;
