PART II: THE PREAMBLE
1. TITLE AND COMPONENTS
This amendment.comprising the text ~nd schedule
shall be known as Amendment 25 to the Official Plan of
the Aurora Planning Area.
2. THE PURPOSES
The purpose of this amendment is to:
(1) Change the land use designation applying to
the subject lands from "Rural" to "Urban
Residential'' and ''Open Space•·.
3. LOCATION
The subject lands are part of lot 75 Concession
1, W.Y.S. as shown on Schedule "A" which forms part of
the amendment.
4. BASIS OF THE AMENDMENT
This amendment has been enacted by council in
response to the following: I
(1) The Council of the Town of Aurora enacted
Official Plan Amendment #11, w~ich encompassed
part of the subject lands, on August 22nd,
1979. Amendment #11 proposed ~o redesignate
the lands in question from "Ru11al" to "Suburban
Residential". The site was to be serviced
with municipal water and individual sewage
disposal systems. During the dirculation of
that amendment a number of negdtive comments
were made by provincial minist~ries and The
Regional Municipality of York.
(2)
(3)
(4)
( 5)
The Ministry of the Environment expressed
concern with the concept of development on
partial services within the Central York
Servicing Area as such developmehts tend to
compete with developable areas wlfthin the
fully serviced area. The Ministry expressed
the opinion that development pribrity should
be given to lands designated for\ full services.
The current amendment would designate the
lands for urban residential, thus require
full municipal services. I
The Region of York expressed con<eern that the
population levels approved by Regional Council
might be exceeded if the subjectllands were
permitted to be developed. Drafi plans have
now been approved, and registration of plans
is pending for a considerable paJt of the
"Aurora West" area. Population :Ilevels, based
on the number of lots proposed, ~ill be
considerably less than was origirlally envisioned
in the "Aurora West" area. SincE~ the original
Aurora West plan includes 9050 pdpulation,
• I the subJect amenrlment has the ef~ect of
including the subject lands withim that
population allocment. l
The owners of the subject propert have
undertaken a detailed engineeringLreport
which has determined, with some s 1 wer imFrove-
ments, sufficient. sewer capacity ["s available
to serve the site.
Council is of the opinion ~hat a fully
serviced development in this location is more
compatible with the existing serviced develop-
ment to the north, across Hendersbn Drive.
Council has approved an Urban Sertices Boundary
intended to serve as a guideline for land
owners as to the limits to which ~ervices
will be extended. This policy is\to be
reviewed by Council from time to ~ime. The
subject lands are within the area which is
intended to be provided with full municipal
services.

The South Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority
have recently released a studylentitled ''The
Significant Areas Study". Thiq study identifies
the subject site as being within an Aquifer
Recharge Zone and suggests that an "environ-
1 . I menta lmpact statement prepared by an
experienced and qualified profJssional" be
carried out to demonstrate that the changes
in land use will not adverselylaffect the
natural amen~ties of the area. A study of
this nature has been prepared but it has not
yet been approved by the South Lake Simcoe
Conservation Authority.
