UPDATES
Cudmore`s Development
Vogue (Wycliffe) Ltd filed a development application for 27 condo townhouses and 8 semi-detached houses in November 2018 effectively looking to impose medium-high density in a low-density residential neighbourhood. The area is currently zoned for 17 units; single or semi-detached. The community delegated against this proposal in January 2020. Mayor Burton questioned ¨How is this not over-development?¨ The developer appealed the application to the OMB citing no decision from the municipality by the mandated deadline. The hearing is currently set for April 19 - 23, 2021.
The 2nd CMC hearing was held on January 20th, 2021 where the Town of Oakville and the developer announced that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding in efforts toward a settlement. The settlement is not final or ratified and there is a 3rd CMC hearing on February 24th, 2021.
It is crucial to email Members of Council to stop this deal and uphold the Livable Oakville Plan and Zoning By-laws. Go to our Petition page to send your email to Members of Council and help stop the threat to stable residential neighbourhoods. More information on our Current Issues page.
