Weston Consulting is the Planning consultant for Elite M.D. Developments Inc. the registered owner of the property located at 563 Shaver Road in the City of Hamilton (herein referred to as the ‘subject property’). We have been monitoring the proposed mapping changes to the Greenbelt Plan (Ontario Regulation 59/05) that would have the effect of swapping lands in the Greenbelt. We are pleased to see that the subject lands are being considered for removal as one of 15 areas identified to accommodate residential development. The lands are identified on Map 9 of ERO No. 019-6217 Resignations or Removals Maps.

Based on the planning analysis, our position is supportive to the direction the Province is taking with the removal of 563 Shaver Rd. from the Greenbelt boundary. The proposed removal meets all the criterial outlined for lands to be considered. It is our opinion that the lands can accommodate substantial housing in the short term to lessen the impact of Ontario’s Housing Crisis.
