The proposed TOC in Oakville blatantly fails to meet the Ontario government’s own post criteria for issuing MZOs.The proposed development will create density, never seen before according to experts. The traffic congestion in the proposed area is already unbearable and the green space that will be altered is not acceptable. Condo developments in the town of Oakville are going into receivership, not sure who the Ontario government is expecting to purchase these condos. MZOs are meant to be exceptional tools, not a self serving substitute for proper planning, yet the only rationale offered here is “zoning certainty,” which in reality serves a single purpose: to lock in speculative land value, shift risk from the developer to the public, and freeze an outdated proposal while stripping the Town of its ability to adapt to real housing needs, infrastructure capacity, and changing conditions over time.
I would like to know who is developing this area and if this is cronyism. Please Mr. Flack do the right thing!
