The Ontario Land Tribunal has approved a draft plan of subdivision agreement between the City of Hamilton and the owners of 9451, 9517, 9569, 9579, 9593 & 9867 Dickenson Road and 1199 & 1205 Glancaster Road.
The industrial-zoned lands are directly adjacent to the runway on the north side of the airport.
The developer sought permissions to construct four development blocks totalling approximately 76.6 hectares of development area with permissions to accommodate a gross floor area of approximately 295,326 square metres of employment uses.
Similar to many other projects in the area of Hamilton’s airport, one of the primary issues for the City is the allocation of capacity in the new trunk sewer into the area.
In a written hearing, the OLT states it has approved a settlement that permits the development.
Here’s the technical summary:
