Hello and welcome to this meeting of the planning and development council of the town of Oakville. It's August 10th uh 2026 and uh Madame Clerk, do we have any regrets? >> No regrets, Mayor Burton. >> Well, thank you everybody for giving us a full house. Are there any declarations of conflict of interest, pecunary or otherwise? Madame Clerk, there are none. Uh council, you have the minutes of the regular session of the PND uh council on July 7th. Is there a move and secondary to adopt these? Councelor Chisum and councelor Dick. Thank you very much to Ward two. Any objection? Madam clerk being there being none, that's adopted. We have advisory committee minutes from the Heritage Oakville Advisory Committee meeting of July 28th. And uh we need a motion to receive the report. Councelor McNiss, thank you. Councelor Longo. Thank you. Any opposed? There being none, that's adopted. Uh, you have your consent items and I'd look for a item I should say. I'd look for a mo counselor Chenna and a seconder. Councelor Nanda. Thank you. Any objection? There being none, that's adopted. You have a confidential consent item. And uh I'm looking for a motion to uh uh deal with this in public unless somebody feels the need to go in camera. Councilor has a deal. >> Mayor Burton, I would like to go in camera for 6.2. >> 6.2. So all right, we will separate that out and I'll see if I can get the others approved. As a matter of fact, the councelor has a deal. While you have your hand near your mic, can you give me a motion for the others? >> Sure. >> Thank you. And can I get a second? Councelor Chisum. Thank you. Any objection? Madam Clerk, there being none, those confidential consent items are consented to. And 6.2, two. Uh we need a uh motion which I'm confident councelor Hazat deal will give us to uh resolve into a session closed to the public. Let me just get to the page here. Uh for a matter that may be considered in the absence of the public under section 239.2 two of the Mispull Act because it deals with litigation or potential litigation, including matters before administrative tribunals affecting the municipality or local board and advice that is subject to solicitor client privilege, including communications necessary for that purpose related to areas review for that purpose. Period. Um, and my second is councelor Mcnes. Is it? >> Thank you. >> And just a question. Mayor Burton, I understand you're chairing. So, I just I am okay if we don't go into in camera until later in the session if the delegations, but I leave that to your discretion. >> Councelor, we're about to vote on going into camera to to deal with your issue with item 6.2. >> Any objection? There being not enough to stop us, we are going into camera and I would ask staff to arrange for a session appropriate and we'll excuse the public and invite you back momentarily. >> Recording stopped. >> Yeah, I forgot. >> I tried to lift it up. Cool. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> I'm currently in my first of third of three years at uh at Sheridan. So, um it's uh kind of fun to be at that point because uh you have all great ideas and you're not limited by actual technology. Sheridan College uh in the glass department here they uh ran a bit of a competition amongst the students. I submitted my design and uh then uh it got sent off. U one of the things that I did before I submitted my design to the town was uh I had a talk with the uh actual professors to make sure that it was doable. Uh it'll look not unlike this. Uh the central piece will actually have a a wave in it. It's got this outward shape to it. Uh when you look down on it, uh that'll it'll have a name plate on there. And then uh when it comes out of the mold, it looks not unlike this. It'll be on the end of the pipe. And we just break it off and uh we put that in to cool. And then uh when it's done, we saw it off right about here and uh uh polish the bottom. So, of course, this one's been sawing already. the the process of the thing uh kind of goes like um we start out with a spike of glass. We form a we take a gather and we form it into kind of a conicle piece of glass. Uh then we get a couple of uh what we call gathers. We gather glass on the end of a rod and then uh we um roll it in colored powder which is basically really finely crushed glass uh with color in it. Uh then we melt that in. Uh we roll it a few times just to make sure that it's got lots of solid color on it. Uh what we do is we take molten glass out of the furnace and we roll it in this uh colored powder, the uh glass color, and it sticks. It'll stick to the glass, the hot glass. And then what we do is we take it over to the glory hole and uh we melt it in. So the glory hole gets it nice and hot, reheats the glass. Once it's melted in nice and neat, I'll take it over to Paul there and he'll uh stick it on the piece. But I want to get it pretty hot so that I don't have a I get a nice uh small trail for him. Um and then we apply that onto our spike, right? So we have two colors. We have uh we have two guys doing it basically. Uh we'll we'll lay on one color and then we'll flip it over and we'll lay on the other color. So, we have um the basically three rods of color together, right? Because we don't want the glass to cool off too much after after he's done it. Uh after he's formed his spiky bit there. Um we don't want the glass to cool off too much and we don't want to have to reheat it over and over and over again. Uh so uh it it takes two of us with bit rods to form two colors just so that we can um put the one color on and then put the next color on. Uh and then go and and melt them together. Because if we put one color on and then he melts it together, then we put another color on and we melt that in, it could melt in uh in in kind of a weird uh blurred shape. So, if we put them both on at the same time, then they melt at the same rate, and that makes it uh much more crisp and nicer. >> And so, now uh we laid the color on the center bit, and we just have to melt the color in so it becomes one smooth pattern because if there's any uh seams or anything where the color is, when we plunge it into the middle, it's going to catch bubbles there. So, that'll be little imperfections in the design. Um, then we'll melt them together so that they're smooth uh without a lot of uh edges because if we have a lot of edges, we'll trap air and uh we didn't want a ton of extra bubbles or or um special design of bubbles. So, we we wanted to make sure that um it's all nice and smooth. Then what we do is we extrude it out a bit uh lengthwise and give it a twist, nice slow twist. And that gives it kind of that helix of color in this. So you can see the spike in color, but it has this nice uh you know about two revolutions worth of color and two revolutions of twist in color. Um then it's we put in a bit of a wave into it. So it looks kind of more like a flame gravity. Um, this puts a nice or anything to get. >> Then we have a graphite mold. Mold that's made out of a big ch block of graphite. Uh, it's a two-part mold, so it splits in half basically. I'll uh get a ladle of glass out of the out of the furnace, a big ladle of glass, and we pour that into the mold. So, it's full and then uh the the guy who formed the spike with a twist in it um plunges that into the mold. So, we plunge it straight down into the mold. We let it cool off a little bit so that it firms up because glass is kind of like taffy, you know, u uh we wait a little bit longer and it seizes up a little bit more. It's still flexible but not uh solid. >> Just doing this to cool the edges here. set it up a bit. >> Then we pull it out of the mold and we flash it in the glory hole. And that's to uh even out the heat, but also the flame in the glory hole will polish the uh one end. So this this end here gets its uh gets its smooth surface from what we call flame polishing. And so we have to let it completely set up before we put it away. Otherwise, if we put it away too hot, it's going to deform when it's in the annealer. the the internoid heat in it was actually like deformed the piece. >> Yeah. >> The heat actually moves kind of slow and the internal heat will come out to the external part of the uh of the uh piece and then when it sits on the grading in the annealer cuz the shelves are great. Uh it can actually take on the shape of the grading if it was too like if it becomes too hot when the annealer itself isn't that hot even though it feels like it. When you stick your head in there, it feels like it go. But uh uh >> it's not hot enough to actually deform, but the interior of the piece could be 3 4 500° warmer than the actual exterior. And then that soaks out to the outside here. >> Yeah. The inas are at like 500° and these furnaces are at like 2,000. >> Yeah. Uh then we uh wait uh for a while until it seizes up. As soon as it stops moving, then we'll break it off and we'll put it in the annealing oven. >> Now, we're just creating a stress point in the glass. If you like this is a really cool part now. So, if I hit the glass, all the vibrations are going to stop at that one point. >> Uh then it'll sit in the annealing oven for about 57 hours. And that cools down slowly. And what it does is it takes all the stress out of the glass. uh because all the forming uh that we do uh causes uh inconsistent heating in throughout the glass, right? And even though we're flashing it and doing all kinds of things to it uh to try and um even out the heat, uh it'll still have inconsistent heat through it. So what we do is we put in the annealing oven and it bathes it in a in a 550 degrees Celsius for uh um a good 25 hours or so. Well, everything in a glass shop is a team effort, right? Uh so uh I came up with the design, you know, it's it's it's my design, but that doesn't mean that I'm the one who carries things out. I mean, there are a number of artists like that. and they actually just design it and somebody else actually makes the thing. In this case, uh I, you know, I've got the skill set that allows me to help out, [laughter] right? And then plus I get to supervise. I get to look and see what's going on. Um the some other first year students uh that are there are Paul Vandenbigger. Uh he's the one who's putting the twist in the class. He's quite good at it. So uh we figured why, you know, why reinvent the wheel for one of us to figure that out. Uh, and then there's Matt Crosby and Matt's helping out with everything else, bringing bids, opening the door. Um, you need to have a hand uh, in the glass shop because there are so many things that are really hot [laughter] that you just can't do it. You just can't hold a pipe in one hand. Where's my Yeah, I got it. All right. I'm calling council's public session back to order. Council has met briefly in a session. >> Recording in progress. >> I'm calling the uh public part of the meeting back to order. Council has uh met in a session closed to the public under the terms of the section 239.2 two of the municipal act because a matter dealt with litigation or potential litigation, including matters before administrative tribunals affecting the municipality or local board and advice subject to solic client privilege, including communications necessary for that purpose. And uh we now need a mover and seconder for the uh public uh motion that the confidential direction provided in the legal department um uh confidential Ontario land tribunal appeal of uh 349 Davis Road report dated July 28th be approved. I need a mover and a seconder. Councelor Adams and a seconder. Councelor Dudk. Thank you. Any objection? Councelor Hletil and Councelor Giddings and Councelor Nanda and Councelor Omeira. I tell you what, let's have a recorded vote. Madame Clerk, would you call the vote? >> Councelor Ramire, >> no. >> I'm sorry. Councelor, could you No. >> Thank you. >> Councelor Mcnes, >> no. Canceler Dick. >> Yes. >> Canceler Chisum. >> Yes. >> Canceler Hazel. >> No. >> Canceler Giddings. >> No. >> Councelor Elgar. >> No. >> Councelor Longo. >> Yes. >> Mayor Burton. >> Yes. >> Councelor Null. >> Yes. >> Councelor Adams. >> Yes. Canceler list. >> Yes. >> Cancer Nanda. >> No. >> Canceler Shei. >> Yes. >> Carries. >> That carries council. Thank you very much. Um, with any luck, that brings us to item eight, the recommendation report for 2172 Wrath Road. And um, uh, we have a presentation from the consultants for the applicant. Uh, that would be Emma West from Bosfields and andor Ashley Payton. And, uh, we have delegations after the presentation. Um, Bossfields, welcome. We look forward to your presentation. >> Great. Thank you. Uh, good evening um, Mayor through Mayor Burton and members of council. My name is Ashley Patton. I'm a registered professional planner and senior associate with Bosefields. I'm here joined tonight uh, by my colleague Emma West, a partner at Bosefields. Uh, we're here tonight on behalf of the owners of 2172 Yraftoft Road. We have a presentation, but we won't go through it all. Um, we just wanted to say that we've um we've were supportive of staff's recommendation to approve the application before you here today. Um, we listened to the feedback we received uh at the public meeting in December. We made substantial changes to the application, including a reduction of height to completely conform to the livable Oakville plan, specifically the OPA41, the Brontego MTSA area. Um, second, we increased uh and introduced a substantial amount of ground flooror landscaped area. Um, sorry, you can go back just to the one slide. This is great. Yeah. Uh, we in introduced a substantial amount of ground flooror landscaped area as shown on this slide here. Um, number three, we um redesigned the ground floor and introduced a grocery store use. And number four, increased the uh number of familysiz units uh as well, which will be secured through the zoning bylaw. Um, so due to those changes, an official plan amendment is no longer being uh requested or required. And the zoning bylaw amendment application before you will implement the policies of the livable Oakville plan um in a way that uh implements the town's vision, including the uh location and area of public roads in accordance with OPA41. Uh so we're here to answer any questions you have and again are fully supportive of staff's recommendation to approve the application before you today. Thank you very much for what I think might have just been a delightful report. Councelor Romero, >> uh, thank you very much, your worship and thank you for coming. Um, just first off, thank you for um sticking to just a zoning approval. I I think it's something that we don't see too often and it uh we went through a very long uh process on the Bronny MTSA and and um had to go through a number of different iterations. So, it's great to see that you you listened to the residents and you came back with with what what the town was asking for. Um, two questions in particular. One is the um is the unit makeup, and I did look at your breakdown of 49% of of one-bedroom units. Is that can that change as the market dictates? Because I think, you know, from 3 years ago, four years ago, maybe when you were starting down this process, maybe those numbers were different to compared to where they are now. We've seen some condos and rental business uh um rental buildings and developments in Bronny switch their model because there the demands are different. So are those static or will those change based on what you're seeing with the market demand? >> Uh through you mayor Robert um the um the number of 40 sorry the percentage of two and threebedroom units are being secured through the zoning bylaw. So there can be flexibility but there is a minimum amount of familysized or two and threebedroom units being secured. So that number can fluctuate so long as that minimum number of family units is maintained. >> Okay. So >> I might just add to that though if in the future the market is different and there is a demand for it, there could be a minor variance to amend the number if more familysized units were sought and in demand at that time. >> Okay, perfect. I appreciate that. Um and then my second question, and it might be a bit of a bane, it's continued to to be a thorn in our sides, is the relationship and the ongoing conversations with Metroinks. Um, uh, [laughter] I know it's right beside the the GO station and I'm just wondering what agreements or what conversations or what access agreements. I mean, it's a natural pathway to go to the GO station and I'm really hoping that they're not going to make it difficult for egress from the units onto there. But I'm wondering if you might be able to just fill us in on what your conversations have been to date or or what sort of relationship you had in terms of making it accessible for those people who are are maybe living in the units. >> I would say that um definitely recently the through you mayor apologies um through the conversations we've been having with Metroinks recently it's been quite productive. Um, and we do have a hold provision within the bylaw that requires that there be an agreement with Metro Links. There is a subdivision application that is separate from this zoning bylaw amendment application that is still being processed through that subdivision approval and the conditions that we assume will come with that. there will be more coordination required with Metroinks, but it has actually been productive and I assume staff would agree or else they wouldn't have put together the bylaw that got us here. But we do have a hold tied to that agreement with Metro Links. >> That's great to hear. Thank you very much. Thank you, your worship. >> Thank you, counselor. Councelor Mcnes, >> thank you through your worship. Um, and we, as councelor Maris said, you know, thank you for listening throughout this process. I know you had your first public meeting uh I think it was at the Holiday Inn uh a while ago, maybe 18 months ago or so and then you had uh you took public feedback here as well and uh it goes to show the process from work. It's the the intensity came down, the height came down, the amenities uh showed up. So that's that's certainly I think a win for the community and now you're at the stage where you don't even need an OPA. So that's that's fantastic. Um just have a question to staff. I know we've been working hard on our inclusionary zoning at the PTMs. Um, just clarity from staff, is that does that apply yet or is our inclusionary zoning not in effect yet for the PTMs? >> To your Mayor Burton, uh, the inclusionary zoning policies were adopted by council, but a bylaw has not yet been presented for council's approval. So inclusionary zoning would not apply in this case. >> Okay. Thanks for that clarity. >> Thank you, councelor. Councelor Elgger, >> Mayor Mayor Burton, my question is more of staff and it's related to uh the LU study that was done and I and I'm just trying to understand was that a ground level only was it only for the prevailing winds or was it based on receptor height and uh recognized as a standard input because I I recognized is in appendix C of the report which is pretty long that they that that the the asphalt company was a little concerned and I'm just I wonder if staff could answer that like do we have the dispersion so you can see at the receptor height that was done different than just the standard >> through >> Mr. All right. >> Through your worship, the lady's planning uh compatibility study that was submitted was a preliminary study and you'll see in the draft bylaw before council, there's a holding provision that requires uh land use compatibility study to be prepared to the satisfaction of the town. And one of the reasons why staff are recommending that is because we don't know exactly when this building is going to be built and we don't know exactly what the land uses around it will be at that point in time. So by deferring the final study to that point in time, it should produce a more accurate uh result and it will include the full height of the building. to answer your question specifically. >> That is good news because I think I think that is what they actually wanted to make sure at least it was in the in the documentation that people would would be aware of when they purchased that in fact there could be some uh downward you know with different buildings. Apparently the air quality the air movements kind of change be you know based on non-prevailing winds also. So could that be written in also into the draft plan of subdivision to cover the air quality? I know you've got other things in, but the air quality could that be so that people are aware when they're purchasing >> through you your warship. We can include that as a warning clause that would be part of a separate uh staff report. And I would like to add as well that the Lanny's compatibility study, it's standard practice for us to peerreview it by a third party independent party. So, um, we will include the warning clause as part of the subdivision and that study will be peer reviewed as part of lifting the H. >> Okay. Because you've got about the noise and vibration you're saying you're going to put in and that would be something else that could could be put in. So at least you know 10 years down the road when people start complaining to counselors they'll say well when you purchased you were aware of this that could that can be done >> it through your worship that can be done through a warning clause and it would form part of the agreement of purchase and sale for the original purchaser of the property. And what we also do is we register the subdivision agreement itself on title. So for subsequent purchasers, if they do a title search, that clause will be on title of their property. >> I thank you so much. I'm satisfied. Thank you. >> Thank you, counselor. Any um anyone else? All right, councel. Um with that, I will ask the clerk to call the pres the delegations. >> Thank you, Mayor Burton. The first delegation is Harry Shei Shay. Excuse me. >> Welcome, Mr. Sheay. Thank you, sir. >> Council looks forward to uh hearing from you again. >> Thank you. >> Good evening, Mayor Burton and members of council. I want to begin by acknowledging all the work that went into this recommendation report. Staff successfully reduced the proposal to a maximum of 24 stories, lowered the density, reduced the overall floor area, required variation in tower heights, increased the commercial space, secured a daycare, and required the dedication of future public roads. These are meaningful improvements, and staff deserves recognition for achieving them. The question before council, however, is not simply whether this proposal is is better than it was. The question is whether it's the right development at the right time. Staff the staff report makes it clear that many of the most important issues remain to be resolved before any construction can proceed. In many respects, this is only the beginning of the process and not the end. Next slide, please. Well, actually, we need to go back. All right. The infrastructure is not yet finalized. These these are not minor details. They are fundamental to ensuring this development functions successfully for future residents while protecting existing businesses and public investment investments. One issue deserves particular attention. Next slide, please. The surrounding area continue uh continues to contain active industrial businesses. The report acknowledges this reality and appropriate requires updated compatibility studies before the residential construction can begin. We should ensure that the new residents fully understand the existing environment they are choosing to live in. The longestablished existing employers should not be subject to future complaints arising from uses that are already present. The town's responsibility is to protect both new residents and existing employment. This balance will determine whether this area evolves successfully over the coming decades. Next slide, please. The proposal includes commercial space and a daycare, but this development represent represents only one component of a much larger transformation of the Brontego area as thousands of residents eventually will move into this MTSA. They will require parks, community services, local retail, healthc care, schools, and public gathering spaces that evolve along residential development. Growth should not only be measured in the number of housing units, it should be measured in the quality of the community that is eventually created. Could this area, this MTSA area benefit from CPPs? The complexity and transitioning this industrial area to a residential area will require clarity of future planning and the sense of predictability which CPPS would contribute toward. Next slide, please. This three interconnected 23story tower joined by a central lobby was my home during my high school days in Chicago. It had a grocery store and a dry cleaners. But the coolest feature was a 24-hour doorman. Every day after school, whether I had varsity track practice or not, my responsibility was to take my two younger brothers, who were four and eight years younger than I, across the street to Lincoln Park. I admit as a teenager, there were days it felt like a chore and a real drag. But looking back now, I realize how fortunate my siblings and I were to have this incredible park across the street, albeit having to cross eight lanes of traffic. I can't imagine asking new families calling 2172 Wrath home to wait years for parks and public spaces. This development should be part of a complete community from the very beginning. Green space should not be phased in sometime in the future. Next slide, please. The improved proposal aligns with the long-term vision for the Bronty MTSA. Now, council must remain vigilant in ensuring that every condition identified through the holding provisions is fully satisfied and implemented before construction begins. This will help ensure that the Bronte go community becomes not simply a collective of tall buildings, but a complete livable transitoriented neighborhood that reflects the high public uh planning standards Oakville has earned. I thank you for your time. >> Thank you, Mr. Shay for the information and the and the time you took to bring it to us. Councelor Mcnes has a question for you, Mr. Shay. >> Sorry about that. Thank you, Mr. Shay. Through your worship, um just some of the the points you brought sort of this chicken and egg of what comes first, the park and amenities or the people? I just wonder if if staff can touch on the plan for the Bronty go MTSA and just just clarify, you know, what is the process of it becoming a complete community or how how does it go about getting that? I mean, you know, it'd be nice if we get a Lincoln Park, but probably a scaled down Lincoln Park um so that it becomes that really familyfriendly, you know, one car uh type type uh area that like it's envisioned, transit friendly as well. through you your worship. So OPA41 did set out the vision uh for the Bronnigo MTSA and it was prepared under 775 of the regional official plan as an area specific plan. So if you can think of different layers of the plan, there's a layer of parks, there's active transportation, there's servicing. All of those studies were completed and informed the the goals, the policies and the objectives which were ultimately adopted by council. Now when you translate that into what we have uh in front of us today, uh you know, Bronny go MTSA the it's a very fragmented ownership pattern. So today we have one owner coming in seeking to implement that plan. So we'll likely see over time incrementally achieving that vision and that the points um presented by Mr. Sheay were not lost on staff. You'll see in the zoning bylaw that a different approach was taken with the sight specific zoning than you'd see for example in Bronny Village or Polmo Village where there is that established framework of parks and open space and retail stores and so on. Um, in this case, there's required amenity space per unit, there's minimum landscaped areas, there's minimum commercial space, there's specific a specific area in the building and size carved out for a daycare. So all of those efforts are being made essentially um in recognition that this probably will be the first mixeduse development in the Brongo MTSA area and to achieve that critical mass of some retail for the residents, some amenity space for the residents while um the full road network and park network is being uh essentially built out over years or decades. >> Okay. Thank Thank you for that clarity. >> Councelor Rieler. >> Yeah, thank you very much through Mayor Burton. Uh Mr. Shay, are you aware how the province has gutted our ability to uh get part plan going forward? Are you fully aware of that? >> Uh not exactly. No sir. I can um I know other staff can comment tonight, but it would be good for you to get a full report on how we do not have the ability to get the parkland we should have been able to get when a developer comes forward. The province has changed the rules immensely on the ability of Oakville unless the concurrent residents want to pay for it. It's shocking and you should be aware of it. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. Thank you, councelor Elgar. Mr. Shay, thank you very much for your time. >> Madame Clerk, the next delegation, please. >> Thank you, Mayor Burton. The next delegation is Pierre Savage. >> Mr. Savage, welcome. Council looks forward to your contributions. >> Good evening and thank you for the opportunity to speak tonight. I I just really have two issues I want to just bring to your attention. Okay? And it's uh the first of all is in regards to the landscape areas and tree canopy cover on page 26 of 33 and it it states that u proposal will achieve a 20% u tree coverage which is consistent to the minimum requirement. What I'm wondering possible if in for future or this application whether that can be increased to maybe 30% as we're trying to achieve um a certain amount of tree canopy within the town of Oakville. As you can see development is within a mass of structures hardly any vegetation at all. I I thank uh the applicant in order um in their decision to increase the amount of landscaping but I still think um requirement should be have a higher standard more um greenery parks and landscaping uh as this is the first development within the area um it's important for the residents who will be going there is to have that space available to them. The next issue which I just want to bring to your attention is in regards to the portion of density. I know the uh hydrogen building has been reduced and as well um one thing I've noticed as well is the fact that uh it says that 1,191 units will be in this uh application development. So this is approximately 20% of the minimum uh plan unit target. I I did a calculation and there's only going to be 106 jobs uh within the proposed area and if you do a percentage uh 106 job is very low for that uh goal of achieving x number of jobs within the area. So 20% on the 18,600 pardon me uh projected jobs their their total residence is 1,667 divided by 8,200. So that's 20% it should be. So 20% of the 18,600 should be 3,782 jobs. I understand fully that um this is the first and there are other areas within this u specific zone or that will accommodate uh jobs. But like the previous speaker, my concerns in regards to the present employment which will be uh will be gutted in the future with residential development. Um I hope in the future that the jobs which will be as part of the various applicants will be greater than just a minuscule percentage and it should reflect what the intent of having um a total job jobs of approximately 18,600 and that's about it for me. I just thought of something else which was in regards to inclusionary uh zoning but specifically in regards to affordable housing. Um I wonder if it's possible that x number of units can be allocated for affordable housing. Um it's a thought and I know we try to be progressive in our ability to provide for people who are more needy and affordable housing is is something that's I think it's important. I just want to thank you all for the opportunity for tonight coming here. Thank you again, >> Mr. Svage. Councelor Mcnes has a question for you. >> Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Silvo for your delegation. Um I just want to get some clarity from staff on some of the points that you raised. Um so related to employment in the area. I mean my understanding is this. Um, the Bronni GO MTSA is not as expansive as the Oakville GO MTSA. Uh, and that many of the I guess light industry jobs would be retained in the area. It's not going to be it's not going to be converted to a residential district or residential and commercial. um could you just sort sort of cl I don't know if you have the numbers in front of you but just uh provide some assurance that we are maintaining our employment base and it's some quite valuable um you know light industrial land that's that's not easy to uh get in other places. Um if you could just uh clarify some of that that'd be great >> through you your worship. So the policy um for mixeduse areas like this and the Bronny go MTSA is like for like. So if there was 50 jobs before there needs to be 50 >> in the new proposal and in this case they are exceeding the number of jobs that exist on site today. And I would just add that this site being right next to the Oakville to the uh Bronny go station it will be one of the highest buildings one of the densest ones. It's very much um uh tailored to more residential use, but there's other areas of the Bronnyo MTSA which are specifically planned for employment to make up for areas like this. >> Okay. And they'll just in the vicinity like sort of adjacent to the MTSA. Um there'll be many jobs retained that are, you know, a little bit more skilled labor and stuff >> through your worship. That's that is correct. there are areas that are planned to uh maintain the more traditional uh employment jobs within the uh Bronny go MTSA. >> Perfect. And uh just the point on the tree canopy of uh I believe 20%'s being provided. Is it uh do we have any capacity or regulations that that uh could require more than that or uh I mean that does seem like a fair bit for a condominium development but >> uh through you your worship the 20% is a a floor. It's not a ceiling and it is challenging to achieve more than that on a site like this in this urban context. Um we can achieve it through for example [clears throat] green roofs. Um but typically the trees are planted on an underground parking garage. There's limited space for them. So the 20% is usually a starting point when we're reviewing a site plan application for a site like this. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you counselor. And uh thank you Mr. Sovou for sharing your thoughts with us tonight. Madame clerk. >> No further delegations. >> Are there members of the public in the uh hall tonight who'd like to share their thoughts on the matter? Seeing none, I'll confine at the table and I'll I'll look to council uh to the counselors from W one to move and second this. >> So moved. Thank you. >> Thank you guys. Any objection? Madam clerk, there being no objection, their motion carries. That brings us to 8.2. The owner initiated application to repeal a design a heritage designation bylaw at 3175 Lakeshore Road West. Um uh we uh I'll just ask if there's any questions from council. Council is probably aware that there have been developments uh here where the the the applicant has successfully sold the house. Councelor McNise. >> Uh, happy to move it. I believe Councelor Longbo is uh in line for second. >> All right. Any objection? Your motion carries. Thanks very much, guys. Um, there are no confidential discussion items. Is there any new business to discuss? All righty. Are there any requests for reports? Well, how about a mover and secondary for consideration and reading of the bylaws? Uh, councelor Elgurt, we'll get you in the minutes. and uh councelor Shia. Thank you. Any objection? There being no objection, the bylaws are considered read and passed. And that ends our work together this evening. It's been terrific working with you. I look forward to next time and I bid everybody a good evening.
