This new development in north Burlington has been approved by the OLT with some of the proposed modifications from the City of Burlington. Land to be developed is bound by Dundas, Tremaine, and the 407 corridor.

"In its first phase, the Evergreen Community will provide 548 housing units (363 detached dwellings and 185 townhouses). The second phase will include higher-density residential and mixed-use development. In total, the Evergreen Community is expected to provide approximately 1300 housing units and 800 jobs."

This community is the first major development area to be approved as part of the new Palermo intensification area in northwest Oakville. The development plans to use widespread environmental features such as naturally-planted boulevards, stormwater retention planters, porous pipes, and more. As you can see in the images below there is significant natural heritage retention compared to comparable developments in the GTA.

This approval comes at perfect timing as the widening of Dundas in this area will be complete in the coming months, and the construction will coincide with the widening of Tremaine and the final phase of William Halton Parkway connecting Bronte to Tremaine. Keep in mind this is just a plan of subdivision and rezoning that has been approved. Detailed designs will be put together in phases over the next couple years.

This is an interesting project. It backs onto the creek. It is physically separated from the balance of Burlington by the creek and the ever expanding Dundas arterial route. In many ways it will connect more with Oakville as Oakville continues to build from Palermo west. The city was able to retain a substantial portion of NHS land which is encouraging. Will there eventually be park linkages through the valley lands to the provincial park to the south? I guess we will see.

Note also that Tremaine is the direct truck route N and S to the new CN rail facility as well.
 
I believe the images of the draft plan of subdivision sent above are from the 2015 revision. The correct Draft Plan of Subdivision as approved by the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) for the 548 units of the 1300 units is shown below. Noting the elimination of some wider lot detached homes and slightly higher density via more townhomes.

Ah you're right! Great catch. This is the one which has the adjustments which were recommended by the city.
