Council approves warehouse and transportation terminal zoning at 7072 Sixth Line, with five conditions before construction can start
A 1.07-hectare site north of Derry Road is rezoned from Future Development to General Industrial. The holding provision requires a road-impact assessment of Sixth Line for heavy trucks, environmental studies, and servicing before anything is built.
The details
What Council approved
Milton Council approved a Zoning By-law Amendment (By-law 087-2026) on September 14, 2026, rezoning approximately 1.07 hectares at 7072 Sixth Line from Future Development to a site-specific General Industrial zone. The site is on the west side of Sixth Line, north of Derry Road, in the Derry Green employment corridor.
The rezoning permits warehouse, distribution centre, transportation terminal, industrial, motor vehicle body shop and repair, research and technology, and dry cleaning uses. Outdoor storage is prohibited. The existing single-detached dwelling and accessory structure on the site are to be removed.
Holding conditions
Development cannot proceed until five conditions under Holding Provision H125 are met:
- A Subwatershed Impact Study Addendum deemed complete by the Town and Conservation Halton.
- Transportation Impact Study, Noise Study, Geotechnical Report, Hydrogeological Assessment and Functional Servicing Report approved.
- An assessment of Sixth Line’s structural integrity for heavy truck traffic from Derry Road to the site’s north property line — if upgrades are needed, the proponent pays.
- Municipal water and wastewater services available, with the proponent responsible for extending them.
- A Site Plan Application demonstrating urban design compliance and a noise buffer for adjacent rural residential uses.
Sixth Line is currently designated a No Truck Route. An Environmental Assessment for Sixth Line is underway; if the owner proceeds before it is complete, required road upgrades are at the proponent’s cost. The road is designated a Minor Arterial requiring a 30-metre right-of-way, and the owner will dedicate land through Site Plan Approval.
