Rural Municipality of Miltonvale Park Public Meeting
Held Tuesday, March 25 at 7:30
Milton Community Hall, 7 New Glasgow Road, North Milton
After discussions with the municipality about the Subdivision and Zoning (Development) Bylaw in the fall of 2024, an application was received on February 3, 2025, to subdivide 33 lots from PID 283226 at 371 Sleepy Hollow Road, Milton Station, to create housing for people on the Province’s Social Housing Registry. The application was revised on March 17, 2025, within the same area, but the application now requests 39 lots. The change was made as tiny homes will be ready for this phase of the project, but the future concept for the entire proposed development had tiny homes located in a later phase.
The original application was for 44 Semi-Detached Dwellings on 22 Lots, 10 Single Unit Dwellings on 10 Lots, and one lot with a multi-unit dwelling of six units (60 dwelling units) The revised application includes 36 Semi-Detached Dwellings on 18 Lots, 20 Single Unit Dwellings on 20 Lots, and one lot with a multi-unit dwelling of six units (62 dwelling units).
Applications in the Planned Unit Residential Development (PURD) zone require that a public meeting be held. The purpose of the public process for the PURD zone is to receive comments on the design and overall mix of the proposed development.
