The purpose of the two proposed official plan amendments (OPAs) is to identify, and establish policies for, the Neyagawa Urban Core strategic growth area at the intersection of Neyagawa Boulevard and Burnhamthorpe Road West. The proposed OPAs include complimentary policy changes to the North Oakville East Secondary Plan to facilitate the implementation of the Neyagawa Urban Core Area.

The effect of the proposed OPA 326 to the 1984 Oakville Official Plan’s North Oakville East Secondary Plan will be to:

• update schedules (maps) to identify the Neyagawa Urban Core strategic growth area and designate the lands as “Neyagawa Urban Core Area”
• provide land use policies to support the creation of a transit-supportive, complete community that includes a mix of high density residential, commercial and institutional uses with maximum building heights between 12 and 18 storeys
• provide functional and implementation policies to enable and guide redevelopment consistent with the above, which address matters including urban design, transportation, stormwater management, parkland dedication and public realm enhancements  

The effect of the proposed OPA 45 to the Livable Oakville Official Plan will be to identify the Neyagawa Urban Core Area as “Nodes and Corridors” on Schedule A1 – Urban Structure, which is referenced in the North Oakville East Secondary Plan.

The subject lands are located at the intersection of Neyagawa Boulevard and Burnhamthorpe Road West.

These lands are also subject to a proposed Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision Application (File No. Z.1319.10, 24T-21008/1319), a proposed Official Plan, Zoning By-law and Draft plan of Subdivision Application (File No. OPA1317.07, Z.1317.07 and 24T-21007/1317), and Official Plan, Zoning By-law and Draft plan of Subdivision Application (File No. OPA.1220.02, Z.1220.02 and 24T-24001/1220) 

If a person or public body would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of the Town of Oakville to the Ontario Land 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 Ontario Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.
