Support Our Port in Oshawa

Region: Canada
Target: City of Oshawa, Ontario
Background (Preamble):
“Support Our Port” is committed to a multi-use Oshawa harbour for recreation and industry – bringing the greatest benefits to the city, and the people of Oshawa.

This would include the construction of an ethanol facility in the port of Oshawa to create jobs, support the local economy, and support farmers and the environment.

Producing ethanol in the Oshawa port would use local corn. It would be a source of greener, more environmentally-friendly energy and would inject millions of dollars into the city’s economy through new taxes.
Petition:
We, the undersigned, call on the City of Oshawa to support multi- uses including recreation and industry in the port of Oshawa to maximize the benefits of the port for the people of Oshawa.

Amend the Oshawa Official Plan to permit an ethanol facility in the port of Oshawa as a new environmentally friendly industry to generate new taxes, jobs and benefits for the city and the people of Oshawa.

Amend Zoning By-law No. 60-94 by adding special conditions to the existing SW (Special Waterfront) and SPI (Special Industrial) zones to permit an ethanol facility and related uses on the subject site and to establish appropriate development standards.
