Mississauga Official Plan
MISSISSAUGA OFFICIAL PLAN
Mississauga Official Plan will guide the city's growth and development to the year 2031. Its land use policy framework will help to build the Mississauga envisioned in the City's Strategic Plan.
The Plan's policies are designed to manage and direct the next stage of the city's growth - redevelopment and intensification. They will help the city adapt to the effects of growth on the social, economic, cultural and natural environment.
The Official Plan, required by the provincial Planning Act, includes important information for the public, land use planners, builders and developers. It provides the basis for detailed land use designations and urban design policies, and sets the context for the review and approval of development applications.
An Executive Summary for Mississauga Official Plan provides an overview of the new Plan’s approach and key features, including:
  A new Urban System comprised of three distinct, yet, inter-connected components - the Green System, City Structure and Corridors;
  A City Structure based on a growth management strategy that identifies functional areas for density, height and appropriate growth: Downtown, Major Nodes, Community Nodes, Corporate Centres, Neighbourhoods, Employment Areas; and, Special Purpose Areas. These functional areas are further organized into a series of Character Areas; and
  Intensification Areas where growth will be directed.
Mississauga Official Plan is Partially In Effect
Mississauga Official Plan was adopted by City Council on September 29, 2010 and partially approved by the Region of Peel on September 22, 2011. However, the Plan was appealed in its entirety and as a result, the existing Mississauga Plan (2003) remained in effect. The appeals were subsequently scoped and a number of appeals were withdrawn. The remaining appeals were included with modifications in a submission for decision to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) in June 2012.
On November 14, 2012, the OMB issued a Notice of Decision for the Mississauga Official Plan, approving the Plan and modifications submitted in June 2012, with exception of the policies subject to the remaining appeals. For the policies under appeal in Mississauga Official Plan, the relevant policies in Mississauga Plan (2003) will remain in effect.
A summary list of all city wide and site specific appeals to Mississauga Official Plan and the relevant in effect policies in Mississauga Plan (2003) are shown in a concordance table and are indicated in the body of the Plan as follows:
  • policies that have been appealed City-wide are noted with orange highlighting; and
  • policies appealed that are site specific are underlined in red.

Until all appeals are resolved, both official plans will need to be referred to since they are both partially in effect. Once all matters have been decided, Mississauga Plan (2003) will no longer apply.

Reference the Mississauga Official Plan first when looking for current land use and policy applicable to a property. Where there is an appeal to a policy section or specific policy, reference the Mississauga Plan (2003) for the equivalent policy in effect.
Office Consolidation

The office consolidation of the Mississauga Official Plan is updated to include Region of Peel and Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) decisions and City Council approved Official Plan Amendments as of March 14, 2013. Appeals to the Plan are indicated in the body of the Plan, as follows:

  • policies that have been appealed City-wide are noted with highlighting; and
  • policies appealed that are site specific are underlined in red.

The below office consolidation is prepared for the purpose of convenience only. For accurate reference, the original Plan as approved by the Region, Ontario Municipal Board decisions and amendments to the Plan should be consulted.
