Province plans a science lab near Oakville's hospital in a four-storey building
Infrastructure Ontario wants a new provincial science facility — environmental and radiological laboratory services — in a four-storey building off William Halton Parkway, with a subdivision creating three lots and a new road link to Hospital Gate.
The details
What's proposed
Infrastructure Ontario — His Majesty the King in right of Ontario, through Ontario Infrastructure and Lands Corporation — has applied for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment (files OPA1326.06 and Z.1326.06) to permit a new provincial science facility providing environmental and radiological laboratory services. The site is on the north side of William Halton Parkway, east of Hospital Gate and west of Glenorchy Road, in Ward 7.
What the applications would change
The amendments would allow the facility in a four-storey building rather than the minimum six storeys, set site-specific urban design guidelines, and remove the Hold 'H22' symbol from the eastern development block. A related plan of subdivision (24T-26003/1326) would create three lots and extend a road connecting Glenorchy Road to Hospital Gate.
