On June 7, 2021, Town Council passed By-law 2021-051, which adopted Official Plan Amendment 35, under section 17(23), of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13, as amended. Council’s decision reflects that they have considered all the written and oral submissions relating to this matter and that those comments have been appropriately addressed.

The Director of Planning Services and Chief Planning Official for the Regional Municipality of Halton (Halton Region, 1151 Bronte Road, Oakville, ON L6M 3L1) is the approval authority to which this proposed official plan amendment will be submitted for approval.

The Purpose and effect of Official Plan Amendment 35 is to move the Hospital District from the 1984 Oakville Official Plan to the Livable Oakville Plan and incorporate policies for those lands that establish the Hospital District as a Growth Area.

The effect of the proposed amendment to the Livable Oakville Plan will be to:

• update schedules to include the Hospital District as a growth area as part of the Livable Oakville Plan area
• introduce a new land use schedule “Schedule R” for the Hospital District, providing for a mix of uses including institutional, employment, residential and commercial, and future roads
• introduce a new “Schedule B1”, to reflect the natural features and hazard lands identified in the North Oakville West Secondary Plan within the Hospital District Growth Area boundary
• introduce a new “Schedule B2” to reflect the natural heritage system area key areas identified in the North Oakville West Secondary Plan within the Hospital District Growth Area boundary
• introduce a new “Appendix 5”, to reflect the subcatchment areas in the North Oakville West Secondary Plan
• revise the plan’s introduction and general policies to recognize the lands added to the Livable Oakville Plan area
• introduce area-specific policies for the Hospital District Growth Area, including the goal, objectives and development concept, as well as functional, urban design, land use, exception and implementation policies, to enable redevelopment that is contextually appropriate

The subject lands are located north of Dundas Street West at Third Line.

At this time there are no other applications, under the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13, as amended, pertaining to the subject land.
