To the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing,

I am writing you with an incredibly strongly opposition to any proposed changes to the zoning, Official Plan, or land use designations that would allow residential housing construction at Millcroft / Millcroft Greens Development in Burlington, ON. The land in question is currently zoned as Open Space. It should remain preserved for its original purpose. This space acts as a vital community asset, providing environmental protection, recreational opportunities, and green infrastructure. This is not a meant for housing as per your former colleagues agreed to.

Developing this space would set a dangerous precedent for permanently eliminating accessible natural areas in our community. This size and type
Of housing doesn’t support intensification plans and shouldn’t be the area of focus, it is also not affordable housing whatsoever. I strongly encourage and strongly urge the provincial government and the Minister to respect municipal Official Plans, and reject any efforts to rezone this open space for housing.

The province should prioritize other development and designated growth areas instead of destroying irreplaceable green spaces that are zoned open space - outside of builder profit this is not anything the constituents of this community want or benefit from whatsoever.

Thank you for your time and for prioritizing the preservation of our community’s open spaces.

Sincerely, Kathy
