Summary
Issuing a Minister’s Zoning Order (MZO) on the TOC lands in Oakville Midtown is unnecessary, inconsistent with sound transit-oriented development principles, and risks undermining a completed municipal planning framework. The Town of Oakville has already delivered a comprehensive, transit-supportive plan—Official Plan Amendment 70 (OPA 70)—which should be approved and implemented in lieu of an MZO.

Requested Actions
That the Province of Ontario and Metrolinx:

1. Approve Oakville OPA 70 without delay
2. Refrain from issuing an MZO on the TOC lands
3. Require TOC development to proceed in conformity with the approved Midtown plan

This approach supports provincial housing goals while ensuring fiscally responsible, transit-supportive, and community-focused development outcomes.
