The Planning Services department will be presenting a recommendation report with respect to the proposed official plan and zoning by-law amendments, which are intended to support the conservation of cultural heritage special policy areas including the Erchless Estate. The proposed amendments will recognize and continue to permit the existing uses occurring on the Erchless Estate, which are collectively described as a museum, community centre and library (i.e., Oakville Museum and Oakville Historical Society).

It will also replace the existing definition of “museum” in Zoning By-law 2014-014 to recognize multiple types of museums.
The proposed official plan and zoning by-law amendments affect all lands south of Dundas Street and north of Highway 407 (i.e., the lands subject to the Livable Oakville Plan and Zoning By-law 2014-014), and also the Erchless Estate property at 8 Navy Street and 110-114 King Street (on the west side of Navy Street, south of King Street).
