Upcoming Statutory Public Meeting & Recommendation Report
The City of Burlington is recommending an Official Plan Amendment (OPA) and a Community Planning Permit (CPP) By-law that will affect lands within the City's three Major Transit Station Areas (MTSAs): Downtown Burlington Urban Growth Centre/Burlington GO, Aldershot GO and Appleby GO.
Together, the OPA and CPP By-law establish a CPP system that identifies and implements a vision for the MTSAs to redevelop into complete communities that will accommodate a significant share of the City's future population and job growth in a mixed-use format that is transit-supportive, safe, and respectful of surrounding areas. The CPP system will transform how development is assessed and approved in the MTSAs.
You are invited to:
- Review the recommended Official Plan Amendment and Community Planning Permit By-law (available May 21, 2024)

The recommendation report and a discussion of staff's Official Plan Amendment and Community Planning Permit By-law recommendations will be posted on the MTSA project web page on May 31, 2024. You can also search for the June 11 Statutory meeting date for the Committee of the Whole.
