The town is proposing Official Plan Amendments (OPAs) to implement changes made to the Planning Act resulting from Bill 109, More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022, which received Royal Assent on April 14, 2022.
The Bill made changes to Section 41 of the Planning Act regarding site plan control, among other matters. The changes to Section 41 included new rules about consultations with municipalities before plans and drawings for site plan are submitted for approval and respecting completeness of site plan applications.
The proposed OPAs respond to these changes by updating the town’s implementation policies in both the Livable Oakville Plan and 1984 Oakville Official Plan (North Oakville Secondary Planning Area). The amended policies would ensure the pre-consultation and complete application process for site plan applications will continue as per current town practice.
A statutory public meeting about the proposed OPAs will be held on July 11, 2022. Due to the limited scope and technical nature of the proposed OPAs, staff is recommending that they be approved at the same meeting.
A staff report will be available on the July 11, 2022 Planning and Development Council Agenda, approximately one week in advance of the meeting.
For information on making submissions and appeal rights please visit the Making Submissions and Preserving Appeal Rights page.
