PART I· THE PREAMBLE
Puroose
The purpose of this amendment is to make provisions for the legal use of adult entertainment in
certain areas in Aurora which are least inappropriate for this use.
Location
The sites proposed for adult entertainment uses in this Official Plan Amendment, are located in
the Aurora East Industrial Estates Secondary Plan Area, bounded by St. John's Sideroad in the
north, Bayview Avenue in the east, the Holland River in the west and Wellington Street East
in the South.
Basis of the Amendment
The Town has through a comprehensive study and public consultation process determined that
the most appropriate locations for adult entertainment uses are separated from residential, prestige
industrial, major arterial streets, and more family oriented parks, commercial uses and institutions
such as churches, schools and daycare centres.
To achieve this, the Town has adopted strict licensing requirements addressing location,
operation, staffing, signage, construction and equipment of premises where adult entertainment
is offered.
This amendment in conjunction with an amendment to the Zoning By-Law and the licensing
regulations will have the effect of permitting adult entertainment uses in certain sections of the
Aurora East Industrial Estates which are cove.red by a Secondary Plan.
