Future Development In Whitby’s Mature Neighbourhoods
Mature Neighbourhoods Study Phase 3
The Mature Neighbourhoods Study is now in Phase 3.
On May 15, 2023, Council adpoted the Town-initiated Official Plan Amendment (OPA #130) for the Mature Neighbourhoods Study (File: OPA-2021-W/02). After Council adoption, OPA #130 was appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal. Please contact the OLT directly for further information.
Through this study, the Town will be:
- creating an inventory and describing the character of certain mature residential neighbourhoods in the study area south of Taunton Road (see map);
- identifying infill and intensification trends and pressures affecting mature neighbourhoods;
- identifying options for managing these changes; and,
- recommending revised Official Plan policies, zoning provisions and urban design guidelines to manage redevelopment in mature neighbourhoods in the study area.
Have Your Say
This project has included extensive community and stakeholder engagement throughout the study process, in accordance with the Planning Act and as directed by Council. As we progress towards the end of Phase 3, a statutory Public Meeting will be held prior to the end of 2022. This meeting will be used to present the final recommendations of the study (including Zoning and Official Plan Amendments), prior to Council approval.
Mapping Exercise
Place a pin on the map to show us which neighbourhoods you like, any existing buildings that you think fit in well with the surrounding neighbourhood and where you think future medium density development should be directed in the study area. Don't forget to add a short comment to explain your pin!
Definitions
