I strongly oppose the irresponsible use of a provincial MZO to approve this proposal. The only winner will be the landowner. We the residents, will be left with the consequences of poor planning. This site is not in a planned intensification area. This high-density residential development will interfere with traffic flow to the Highway 400 onramp, and it lacks community infrastructure.

The Weston Downs Ratepayers Association, along with other ratepayer groups to the south and the west of our community opposed this proposal in December 2023. There was a recorded vote and only Councillor Mario Racco and Councillor Marilyn Iafrate opposed this proposal.

Mayor Del Duca and Councillor Jackson were very vocal in their support of this proposal. They both keep repeating that our community does not oppose this development, even though the Weston Downs Ratepayers Association and two other ratepayer groups objected. Instead, both Councillor Jackson and Mayor Del Duca indicate that they wanted to see hundreds of people out to attend the council meeting (during the workday) if the residents were in opposition.
