The purpose of this amendment is to permit the development of cemetery uses and related ancillary uses, including a crematorium on approximately 53.2 hectares (131.5 acres) of land located on the north-west corner of Regional Road 25 and Lower Base Line, in the Town of Milton.
Regional Official Plan Amendment (File No: RQ52A) was submitted to Halton Region in November 2010 and deemed complete in December 2010. It was circulated to a number of agencies for their review and comment. The Draft Amendment (564KB) is now available for review. A Public Meeting (100KB) is planned for July 6, 2011 at 9:30 a.m. in the Council Chambers, Halton Regional Centre, 1151 Bronte Road, Oakville. The meeting is being held to provide the public an opportunity to comment on the proposed Amendment.
The properties which are subject to this application are located in Part Lot 1, Concession 2 NS, former Township of Trafalgar, in the Town of Milton. The properties are identified in the Location Map.
The applicant is the Catholic Cemeteries of the Diocese of Hamilton, but the proposed development is for two adjacent cemeteries and related ancillary uses including a crematorium. The first cemetery (located furthest to the west) would be operated and maintained by the Milton Cemetery Company (12 ha) and would consist of a public cemetery and associated ancillary uses. The second cemetery would be operated and maintained by the Catholic Cemeteries (41.2 ha) and would consist of a Catholic cemetery, related ancillary uses (office and service buildings, chapel, mausoleums) and a crematorium. It is proposed that the Catholic Cemeteries would use the existing home on the subject lands for their office. A number of supporting documents were submitted with the application.
