MZO Request by Lakeview Community Partners Limited

UPDATE - May 31, 2023 - RESIDENTS' PRESS RELEASE: Today, the Residents' Associations of Mississauga-Lakeshore issued the following Press Release: No Hiding from the Riding (1p PDF) in response to the MZO granted for doubling the density of the master-planned Lakeview Village development.

EXCERPT: "In question, is whether MMAH Minister Stephen Clark has considered the serious implications before arbitrarily doubling the unit count and population, as thoroughly outlined in the City’s Planning Staff report presented at PDC on May 15 [2023] ... Mississauga-Lakeshore residents are demanding that [MPP Rudy] Cuzzetto explain: How could changes that so significantly benefit a development group, while violating the spirit and intention of the MZO process, be pushed through?"


May 12, 2023 - ONTARIO NEWS RELEASE: Ontario Helping to Build More Housing in Mississauga.  EXCERPT: "The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing has issued two Minister’s Zoning Orders for several locations within the City of Mississauga...The Lakeview Village development located at 1082 Lakeshore Road East is expected to permit 16,000 new residential units."

PUBLIC MEETING: Virtual and in-person meeting Monday, May 15, 2023 @ 6:00 pm at the City's Planning and Development Committee (PDC) to discuss the MZO request by Lakeview Community Partners Limited (LCPL).

▶ AGENDA: View PDC Agenda (Item 5.1).  The Information Report (9p PDF) by the Commissioner of Planning & Building is posted as an attachment, and states:

"The request to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing by LCPL for a MZO represents a significant departure from the planning approvals granted by the City including the collaboratively negotiated density, heights and development standards. There are a number of matters resulting from the request which present either a significant concern or have not yet been assessed."
