STATEMENT OF COMPONENTS
THE PREAMBLE does not constitute part of this Amendment.
THE AMENDMENT, consisting of the following text and schedule,
constitutes Amendment No. 62 to the Official Plan for the Town of
Aurora.
- 2 -
PART I-THE PREAMBLE
Purpose of the Amendment
The purpose of this amendment is to change the land use designation on the subject lands shown
on Schedule 'A' attached hereto and forming part of this amendment from "Urban Separator" and
"Environmental Protection Area" to "Environmental Protection (Specific)" and to establish site
specific policies to permit limited commercial use of the lands.
Location
The lands affected by this amendment are located in Part Lot 85, Concession 1 W.Y.S.
Basis of the Amendment
Council has enacted this amendment in response to the following:
1. The lands are located in an urbanizing area at the intersection of two arterial roads, Yonge
Street and St. John's Sideroad.
2. The proposed business office use and ancillary management training is compatible with
existing and proposed land uses in the vicinity and would secure the preservation and
long term viability of the heritage structure. The continuation of the traditional equestrian
use further complements heritage objectives.
3. The limited scale of the proposed building addition and parking would not significantly
alter the open space character of the lands, thereby contributing to the municipal objective
of providing a gateway at the northern entrance to the community.
4. A public trail is to be provided on the site to allow for the continuity and planned
extension of the linear open space system.
5. The development is to be on full municipal services. Traffic on Y onge Street ( highway
11) will not be severely impacted as vehicular access to the site is to be by way of St.
John's Sideroad only.
6. Although the majority of the site lies within the floodplain of Tannery Creek, including
the site of the proposed office/training centre, measures shall be incorporated in the Site
Plan Agreement to mitigate potential hazards and impacts on the natural environment.
Site plan control shall also ensure the compatibility of the proposed building addition with
the heritage structure and the protection of the privacy and amenity of adjacent low
density residential lands.
