Ford Application Committee of Adjustment Hearing

CMGRA

Hello [NAME],

We need your help again!

There is a Committee of Adjustment on Tuesday, March 9th, at 7:00 p.m. at Town Council Chambers. Ford is asking for a consent to sever and convey a parcel of land at 1500 Royal Windsor Drive with a concurrent application to permit two minor variances. Both submissions are to permit the construction of a Power Generating Facility. The details of request can be found at
http://www.oakville.ca/Media_Files/planning10/coa-agenda-9mar10.pdf

While this will be a technical meeting, support from as many people as possible opposed to this application will help. 

There are only four key criteria that the Committee of Adjustment measures everything against:

1. Does the application maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan?
2. Does the application maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law?
3. Is the variance desirable for the appropriate development of the land?
4. Is the variance application minor?

If the Committee decides the application does not meet one of the four criteria listed above, it will not be approved.

C4CA will be presenting some objections and will also have guidance from lawyers which will be provided to people prepared to speak . For further information, contact dgm@c4ca.org
