Statutory public meeting for a Town-initiated proposed official plan amendment in Midtown Oakville

Thu, 25 Feb 2021

Statutory Public Meeting
Proposed Official Plan Amendment
Midtown Oakville
Town-initiated
42.15.59, Ward 3

Monday, March 22, 2021, at 6:30 p.m.
Videoconference broadcast from the Council Chamber
Town Hall, 1225 Trafalgar Road
 Town of Oakville YouTube channel

You are invited to attend and provide input at this videoconferencing meeting hosted by Planning and Development Council.

Due to the COVID-19 emergency attendance at Town Hall is restricted and public meetings are being held by videoconference only. Instructions on how to view the meeting or participate by written submission, videoconference or telephone are provided below.

The purpose of the proposed amendment is to update the land use policies applying to the Midtown Oakville Urban Growth Centre in the Livable Oakville Plan (Official Plan) to the year 2051 in accordance with the requirements of the Province’s Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe.

The effect of the proposed amendment to the Livable Oakville Plan is to:

  1. replace Section 20, Midtown Oakville, in its entirety, which would:
  • update and revise the area, introduction, goal, objectives and development concept for Midtown Oakville
  • update and revise the related area-specific policies (e.g., land use, transportation, active transportation, parking, urban design, parks and open spaces, and stormwater) to enable redevelopment that is contextually appropriate, including revised building heights, and Provincially mandated resident and job density targets
  • update the area-specific implementation policies to eliminate the bonusing policies, and provide new and revised policies relating to phasing/transition, block design plans, the acquisition of land for future roads, landowners’ agreements (cost sharing), an implementation strategy and monitoring
  1. update and revise all schedules identifying the Midtown Oakville Urban Growth Centre boundary and area to exclude QEW ramps, 564 Lyons Lane and the valleyland between Cross Ave. and Cornwall Rd., and to show the existing “Natural Area” land use designation applying to those lands on Schedule G (South East Land Use) instead of Schedule L1 (Midtown Oakville Land Use)
     
  2.  replace Schedules L1, L2 and L3, which would set out revised Midtown Oakville development districts, land uses, building heights and the transportation network to reflect and support the proposed policy changes, including the expansion of the “Urban Core” and “Urban Centre” mixed use designations and the elimination of the “Lands Eligible for Bonusing” overlay designation
     
  3.  introduce a new Schedule L4 relating to Midtown Oakville urban design and the public realm to support the proposed policy changes

The subject land is located south of the QEW and north of Cornwall Road, between Sixteen Mile Creek and Chartwell Road.

If a person or public body would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of the Town of Oakville to the Local Planning Appeal 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 official plan amendment is adopted, 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 proposed official plan amendment is adopted, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

If you wish to be notified of the decision of the Town of Oakville on the proposed official plan amendment, you must make a written request to the Town Clerk at the Town of Oakville, Clerk’s department, 1225 Trafalgar Road, Oakville, ON L6H 0H3 or at TownClerk@oakville.ca

This meeting will be live streamed on Town of Oakville YouTube channel.
