I am strongly opposed to granting the request for four (4) Minister’s Zoning Orders for the Transit-Oriented Community (TOC) in the Town of Oakville, in the growth area identified as Midtown.
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, 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.
These MZOs also would eliminate affordable housing requirements, which is what is actually needed.
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.
