P.13, as amended.
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 a section to allow for the restoration or repair of unsafe buildings or existing buildings or structures damages 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.
Zoning By-law 2014-014 applies to all lands south of Dundas Street and north of Highway 407, which is indicated in the key map below.
