3060 and 3068 Trafalgar Road: request to raise two approved towers to 33 storeys closed without a Council decision
In 2024 the builder of two approved 30-storey towers on Trafalgar Road north of Dundas Street asked Oakville to allow three more storeys on each. Council took comments at a public meeting on July 8, 2024. The Town lists the file as closed, with no decision.
Where this is
The details
What was requested
On July 8, 2024, Oakville's Planning and Development Council held the statutory public meeting on an official plan amendment for 3060 and 3068 Trafalgar Road, formerly 3064 Trafalgar Road, on the west side of Trafalgar Road north of Dundas Street and south of Wheat Boom Drive in Ward 7. The applicant, 3064 Trafalgar Partnership, already had zoning for two 30-storey condominium towers. File OPA 1313.11 asked for three more storeys on each, for 33 storeys apiece.
The Town's notice, dated June 18, 2024, said the change would add 60 units and another level of underground parking, and that a site plan application for the two permitted 30-storey towers was under review. The Town's development data dates the application to May 7, 2024 and describes the existing zoning approval as two 30-storey towers with a section 37 bonusing agreement registered on title.
What Council said
The applicant's planner presented; the minutes record no other speakers. Council received the comments and asked staff to consider a list of its own: why the developer wanted three more storeys after being approved for 30, how affordability related to the project's feasibility and how many units would be affordable, how much bonusing money an approval would bring, the effect on already-approved projects along Trafalgar Road, the minor variance process, whether this was an appropriate place for the height and density, and whether it would set a precedent for height in the area or in major transit station areas. The list also names, in the minutes' words, "Distrikts other OPAs for increased height".

What happened next
No recommendation report on the amendment appears in Council or Planning and Development Council minutes after that date. The next step in the Town's record concerns the approved project, not the taller one. In October 2024 the Town gave notice that the owner, named there as 3064 Trafalgar Limited (Distrikt), had applied to lift holding symbol H49 from the site's zoning. The symbol tied development to conditions that included water and wastewater servicing allocation, watermain and sewer extensions on Trafalgar Road, dedication of natural heritage land and of land for the Trafalgar Road widening, and flood-free access to the property. By-law 2024-142, removing H49, was prepared under staff's delegated authority and reported to Council on November 18, 2024.
Where it stands now
As of November 9, 2026, the Town's development data lists OPA 1313.11 as closed, with no Council decision date and no approved units, and the Town no longer has an application page for it. The record does not say whether the request was withdrawn. No appeal for the address or file number appears in the Ontario Land Tribunal's case status service. The site plan for the two 30-storey towers, with 698 units, is listed as in circulation, meaning it is still under review. The sources checked do not show whether construction has started.
