This proposal asks the…

This proposal asks the Province to override Burlington's Official Plan and open-space zoning through an extraordinary MZO. In exchange, it provides approximately 138 market-priced homes—many likely selling for well over $1.5–2 million—rather than affordable or attainable housing. The public benefit of using an MZO is therefore limited, while the community bears the permanent loss of designated open space and assumes potential environmental and infrastructure. We have experienced flooding events that have impacted our homes and the personal costs to homeowners in Burlington due to poor stormwater management will only exponentially get worse over the next 50 years. Stop shortsighted decisions from impacting generations of families.
