Tremaine Dundas (Evergreen) Secondary Plan

Home/.../Current Development Applications/Ward Six/Tremaine Dundas (Evergreen) Secondary Plan

Site Address

Northwest corner of Tremaine Road and Dundas Street
Ward 6

Proposed Development

The Evergreen Community consists of approximately 67 hectares of developable land located at the northwest corner of Tremaine Road and Dundas Street.
The secondary plan work started in late 2011 based on a mixed-use development concept.
With an Ontario Municipal Board appeal involving Regional Official Plan Amendment (ROPA) 38 in April 2013, Council directed staff to defer the completion of the secondary plan until the resolution of the Ontario Municipal Board Appeal.
With the resolution of the appeal, City staff have been working through technical issues and challenges collaboratively with Halton Region, Conservation Halton and the Town of Oakville that has resulted in the draft Secondary Plan.

What is a secondary plan?

Secondary plans contain policies and mapping for large or undeveloped parcels of land that provide details for future land use. Through this process, a plan will be created that will:

Develop a community vision and urban design;
Coordinate and space land uses;
Preserve unique heritage and landscape features;
Identify housing mix and densities;
Establish municipal servicing needs;
Identify, protect and manage natural heritage areas;
Develop phases;
Create pedestrian and bicycle routes;
Consider transit accessibility;
Contain site and subdivision design criteria; and
Determine local road access.

Where is the Evergreen secondary plan area?

The Evergreen Secondary Plan study area is located on the west side of Tremaine Road, between Dundas Street and Highway 407 and is also bounded by Bronte Creek see area outlined in red on aerial photo.

Why is the city preparing a secondary plan for the Evergreen area?

The city does not have detailed land use plans for the Evergreen lands. A recent study was led by Halton Region to determine the specific land uses for this area. As a result, a Background and Options Report (PDF) was produced. Burlington City Council considered this analysis and directed staff to prepare a secondary plan that provides a mix of land uses.

How can residents get involved?

Planning staff will be updating the city's website regularly with information that will describe the stages in the project schedule, including planned public involvement opportunities. If you are interested in helping to shape a new community, this will be an excellent opportunity for you to share your thoughts and ideas.

Design workshop

A design workshop was held on May 16, 2012 at Tansley United Church. Councillor Blair Lancaster, staff from the city, representatives from the developers and members of the public attended the workshop. The purpose of the workshop was to discuss draft planning principles for the new community and to have attendees create concept plans to be used as input in preparing the secondary plan.
