The application seeks to amend the Livable Oakville Plan to permit redevelopment of the existing commercial plazas at the northwest corner of Kerr Street and Speers Road.

The effect of the proposed official plan amendment would be to permit eleven (11) new buildings ranging in height from a minimum of eight (8) storeys to a maximum of twenty-eight (28) storeys. On a block basis, approximately 1,847 residential units are proposed together with approximately 7,900 m2 (85,000 sq ft) of retail gross floor area, inclusive of a grocery store. A new 0.4 ha (1 acre) public park is proposed to be centrally located within the block together with a new urban square at the northwest corner of Kerr Street and Speers Road.

A new public road is proposed to be comprised of a westerly extension of Shepherd Rd. and a northerly extension of St. Augustine Dr. One new mid-block private road is proposed.

The subject land is located on the northwest corner of Kerr Street and Speers Road.

Part of this land, located at 550 Kerr Street, is also subject to a proposed zoning by-law amendment (File No. Z.1616.55) that has been appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal (Case No. PL200333).
