Applicant's Proposal

Applications for an Official Plan Amendment (OPA) and Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) have been submitted to permit site-specific employment uses on the subject lands and to facilitate the development of an industrial business park comprising eleven buildings with an approximate gross floor area of 812,000 square metres (8,740,295 square feet).

The proposed OPA seeks to expand the Town of Milton Urban Area boundary to include the subject lands and to re-designate the subject lands from Prime Agricultural Area and Local Natural Heritage System to Industrial Area and Local Natural Heritage System within the Town of Milton Official Plan.

The proposed ZBA seeks to re-zone the subject lands from Agricultural (A1) and Greenlands A (GA) under the Town of Milton Rural Zoning By-law 144-2003, as amended, to a site-specific Industrial Area (M2*XX) zone, Natural Heritage (NHS) zone and Open Space II (OS-2) zone under the Town of Milton Urban Zoning By-law 016-2014, as amended, to permit the proposed employment uses. Additional proposed uses within the M2*XX zone include: cold storage warehouse, data centre, district heating and cooling plant, motor vehicle equipment storage, warehouse club, and wholesale operation.
