Mega-Density.

Been a resident of Oakville all my life and I believe in growing our city but this makes zero sense.

These MZOs would impose extreme, reckless density on Midtown—more than double comparable GTA developments—without the infrastructure to support it. Roads, transit, the GO station, and the QEW are already overstressed.

The Town’s OPA 70 already allows densities up to 6.0 FSI, which is very high by North American standards, making these excessive densities unnecessary and unacceptable. Worse, the MZOs remove affordable housing requirements.

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.
