A few individual sites are also affected by the proposed amendments through amended or additional site-specific regulations.
The Commissioner of Community Development has fully considered all written and oral submissions related to this matter and any comments have been appropriately addressed.
Any appeals to the proposed by-law amendment must be filed with the Town Clerk at 1225 Trafalgar Road, Oakville, ON, L6H 0H3; must set out the reasons for the appeal; and must be accompanied by the fee required by the Ontario Land Tribunal.

The effect of the omnibus amendment to Zoning By-law 2014-014, as amended would be as follows:
- modifying the definition of “floor space index” to clarify that it is calculated using gross floor area to be consistent with the definitions used in the Livable Oakville Official Plan.
- adding a new definition for “gross floor area” to clarify that all the floors in a building will be measured from the exterior faces of the exterior walls excluding an attic, basement or mechanical penthouse.
- adding sections to allow for the restoration or repair of unsafe buildings or existing buildings or structures damaged or destroyed by natural causes or by fire to be consistent with Zoning By-law 2009-189.
- deleting s. 15.49.1 b) in its entirety since it references section 4.1.2(b) which has been deleted.
