The proposed Official Plan Amendment will allow for the future redevelopment of the site for a mixed-use community. The concept includes three blocks of mixed-use buildings, ranging in height from 30-48 storeys, and one block for a public park. The proposed development will introduce a road network and servicing network to support the proposed uses.

Zoning By-law Amendment, Draft Plan of Subdivision and Site Plan applications will be necessary to implement the proposed development. However, those applications are not imminent.

The subject lands are located south of the QEW and east of Trafalgar Road, on the site of the former General Electric Canada Lamp Plant (see location map, below).

This land is also subject to the town-initiated Midtown Oakville Official Plan Amendment (File No. 42.15.59), as part of the Midtown Oakville Growth Area Review.

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.
