BASIS OF THE AMENDMENT --------------------
The Town of Aurora has for some time been using site plan agreements
to regulate development. Such agreements have helped to ensure
greater control over specific development with due consideration being
given to facilities and services that are essential to a particular
development. Experience has shown that site plan control is a
valuable tool which has resulted in the improved appearance of
developments. Since site plan control enables closer regulation of
developments than would be afforded within a Zoning or Property
Standards or Maintenance By-law, it helps to ensure that the public
interest is served in the development of lands within the Town. Site
plan control permits the municipality to require that the owner of the
land maintain the site in a manner satisfactory to the municipality.
Although Section 33 of By-law 2213-78 for the Town of Aurora
establishes the Town as a Site Plan Control Area, the Planning Act,
1983 makes the use of site plan control contingent on specific official
plan provisions, which the former Act had not done. Since official
plan provisions were not previously required, Section 40 of the
Planning Act, 1983, dealing with site plan control, was not proclaimed
in force on August l, 1983. It is, however, expected that Section 40
will soon come into effect and it is Council's wish that the Town have
valid and effective policies for site plan control in place •
