This amendment comprising the tex~ and schedule shall
be known as Amendment 27 to the Official Plan of the Aurora
Planning Area.
2. THE PURPOSES
The purpose of this amendment is to:
(i) Change the land use categoryiapplying to the
subject lands as follows:
a) from 'Suburban Residential' to 'Urban Residential -
Area "A"';
b)
c)
from 'Rural' to 'Urban Residential -Area
"B"' ; '

3. LOCATION
The subject lands are part of Lots 76 and 77, Concession

4. BASIS OF THE AMENDMENT
This amendment has been enacted in response to the
following:
(i) In 1978 and 1979 Council car~ied out a Secondary
Plan for the 'Aurora West' area. The text and
parts of the schedule to the !plan were approved by
the Ontario Municipal Board py its order dated May
24th, 1979. The subject lands were designated as
'Suburban Residential' on the Aurora West Secondary
Plan. The applicants have nqw carried out a
detailed review of the subject site in support of
the requested designations.
j
\
(ii)
(iii)
The original servicing conce~t for land in the
Suburban Residential category was municipal water
supply and private waste dis~osal systems. The
Medical Officer of Health has opposed the wide
scale use of this combination because of the poor
soil conditions in the area. Because full services
will be supplied to the site; the applicants have
now requested that Area A be !designated 'Urban
Residential'. The area is not tree covered.
Area 'B' is proposed for 'Urban Residential' lots
although because there are some extreme grades in
the area larger than normal lots will be required.
The more northerly part of this area is treed.
The large lot urban style development forms a
transition between the proposed urban residential
to the south and the suburban residential to the
north.
(iv) Area 'C' is proposed for 'Suburban Residential'
uses although again because of topographic and
soil constraints considerably larger lots than the
minimum . 2 hectare size will :be required in some
instances. ·
The applicants propose to ser;vice this area with
municipal water supply in most instances and
private disposal systems. Wetlls may be used where
approved by the Medical Offic~r of Health.
(v) The westerly edgeof the subj$ct site will be
'Suburban Residential' which is considered to be
compatible with.the Rural Land Uses of King Township.
Where the area lS open, lands9aping and berming
will be required. !
(vi) There is a low area along the'! most northerly part
of the property which is being designated Major
Open Space. ·
