I am concerned by the extreme density proposed by this order and the fact that it goes against the town of Oakville plan that had already pushed the boundaries of density based on the infrastructure and the already overstressed resources of the town. I thought we were looking for affordable housing? It seem as if this TOC is not about delivering housing; it is about maximizing developer land value at the expense of livability, infrastructure capacity, and the public interest. I vote NO for these MZOs.
They also seem to ignore the concept of local democracy despite Oakville’s full compliance with provincial policies and proven track record of growth and housing development. The Town’s Official Plan Amendment for Midtown (OPA 70) was developed transparently, with public input and Council approval. In contrast, the TOC was advanced behind closed doors under confidentiality agreements, striving a predetermined developer driven plan with superficial consultation.
