These MZOs would force extreme and reckless density on Midtown, more than double that of any comparable development in the GTA, without the infrastructure to support it; creating chaos and overwhelming transportation and services that are already overstressed, including local roads, transit, the GO station, and the QEW. The Town’s OPA 70 already permits densities up to 6.0 FSI, which is very high by any North American standard, making these absurd densities neither necessary nor acceptable.
Oakville needs family-oriented, complete-community housing, not high rise projects dominated by studios and one-bedroom units,basically investor-driven micro-units, which is the configuration this TOC proposes.
Oakville already meets and exceeds all provincial housing requirements through OPA 70. OPA70 is a better alternative and is ready to go. And Oakville has a proven track record for building houses.
There is no necessity or urgency for imposing these MZOs now.
I vote NO for these MZOs
