Developments within Joshua Creek area
Coronation Drive (south of North Ridge Trail)
The proposed development is to rezone and subdivide the parcel to create 28 residential lots and a public street.
The remaining half of the school site has been formally transferred to the Halton Catholic District School Board.
The Ontario Municipal Board appeal will be withdrawn/dismissed shortly.
Power Plant Location Criteria Coming in 2010
The town is developing criteria for locating power plants greater than 10 megawatts while its interim control by-law that prohibits power plants is in effect.
The interim control by-law prohibits power generation facilities with a generating capacity greater or equal to 10 megawatts from being built in Oakville.
It passed by Council on March 30, 2009 and was upheld by the Ontario Municipal Board in November 2009.
“We want to be sure that the public has ample opportunity to comment on these policies, and Council needs and appreciates the public’s involvement in this process,” said Mayor Burton.
“There is still work to be done toward developing appropriate policies and criteria to guide where they may go.”
Additional research about minimum separation distance, emergency response, alternative technologies and cogeneration is required before appropriate policies and location criteria can
be finalized by Council next year.
Town staff has been working on the land use study for power generation and cogeneration facilities since March 2009 and will present its final recommendation to Council in early 2011.
