Town of Oakville
Proposed concept plan
New housing is coming to vacant land along Rebecca Street beside the Woodside library.
The town has approved a plan that will see Halton Region sell off three detached housing lots fronting on Rebecca Street, then develop a 14-unit assisted independent living community for seniors behind those lots.
The seniors' community will consist of 14 one-bedroom bungalows owned and operated by Halton Community Housing Corporation.
"The vision for the independent living units is to achieve a contemporary community, inspired by a cottage feel, similar to Rotary Gardens on Woodside Drive," explains a town staff report.
Each 635 sq. ft. unit will include a private driveway with one parking spot. Four visitor parking spaces are also planned.
A central courtyard will provide outdoor space for tenants, while a community garden is proposed for the northeast corner of the property.
Access to senior housing will be provided via a private roadway off Rebecca Street, to be aligned with the traffic signals at Warminster Drive.
