DATE:·----~----------SIGNATURE:. ______________ _ ~!. PART I PART II PART III 7. - 1 - STATEMENT OF COMPONENTS · THE PREAMBLE does not constitute part of this Amendment. THE AMENDMENT, consisting of the following text and maps (designated Schedule "A") constitutes Amendment No. 14 to the Official Plan for the· Town of Aurora. THE APPENDIX does not constitute part of this Amendment. -2- PART I -THE PREAMBLE Purpose of the Amendment Amendment 14 would change the land use designation applying to the subject lands from "Rural" to "Suburban Residential Specific" and "Private Open Space Specific" to provide policies to guide their development. Location The subject lands are Part of Lot 75, Concession I E.Y.S. more particularly described on Schedule "A" attached hereto and forming part of this amendment. Basis of the Amendment Amendment Number 14 is being enacted in response to the following factors: 1) The site was designated for "Special Rural Residential" and "Special Major Open Space" land uses by a site specific amendment to the previous Official Plan. A ·subsequent application for Official Plan Amendment to permit 35 very large town houses on the residential part of the site was rejected by Council in 1990. 2) When Council repealed the previous plan and adopted the present Official Plan in its place, the lands were designated in "Estate Residential" and "Private Open Space" land use categories to reflect the existing uses of the property. The lands owners requested a deferral of these land use designations to allow them to attempt to find a proposed use for the property which increased the density but addressed the concerns of Council and neighbouring property owners. Council agreed to the deferrals and recommended that the viability of a suburban residential designation be explored. · 3) The present proposed land use incorporates a "cluster" form of housing comprising of groups of two and four units. The building form is intended to be low rise, no more than one and op.e half storeys in height. The massing of the buildings has been designed to achieve compatibility with both the townhomes on the adjoining golf course and residential development to the south and east while creating an overall building size similar to the estate homes on the large lot development to the west. Generally, it is intended that the two unit clusters will make up the majority of the buildings on those portions of the site that interface with the existing abutting residences as requested by adjoining property owners. 3) While the subject lands are located within the Oak Ridges Moraine, agencies responsible for monitoring proposals on the Oak Ridges Moraine have indicated that their objectives can be achieved through full municipal servicing of the site and involvement in the zoning by-law amendment and site plan approval stages. Water and sewer capacity have been allocated to the site. 4) The applicants propose to buffer the. adjoining residential uses by means of setback requirements from the property lines and landscaped buffer areas so as to minimize the impact of the development on the privacy presently enjoyed by residents of the area. 5) The cluster form of housing implements Goals E, F and G of Section 3.1 of the Official Plan which support the provision and promotion of intensified use of serviced residential areas without detracting from the physical character of the community; maintenance of human scale of existing development while protecting privacy and amenity of individual dwellings, and; innovation in residential development. -3- PART II-THE AMENDMENT Introductory Statement All of this part of the document entitled Part II: THE AMENDMENT, consisting of the following text and attached map, identified as Schedule "A" (Land Use Plan of the Town of Aurora) constitutes Amendment No. 14 to the Official Plan of the Town of Aurora.

Calculations of the density and open space requirements have been based on the entire site including the existing tennis complex, designated Private Open Space Specific, however excluding the parking area and clubhouse building. This formula was determined in consideration of the of the intensity of the use, and agreement that the built upon components of the site will not be treated as "common open space" for the purposes of this policy. iii) The built form shall consist of attached dwelling units comprising of groupings of two or four units of no more than 1112 storeys, approximately 8 metres in height. At the western and southern peripheries of the site two unit groupings shall be the predominant form although four unit groupings may be permitted in limited quantities provided the number of 2 unit groupings exceeds 4 unit groupings. Exterior cladding shall be of high quality in keeping with the types of building materials used on surrounding residential buildings and the existing tennis clubhouse building. iv) A buffer consisting of a heavily landscaped berm, open space and fencing in addition to a distance separation between the buildings and the southern and western property boundaries shall be provided. Along the easterly property line a wooden -4- privacy fence shall be erected. The distance separation shall be no less than 25 metres for structures abutting the west property line and shall include a landscaped berm with a minimum width of 10 metres, an open space buffer with a minimum width of 1 0 metres, and a rear yard area with a minimum depth of 5 metres. Along the south property line, the minimum distance separation shall be 20 metres including a landscaped berm and open space buffer, each having a minimum width of 10 metres. Details of the planting, grading and fencing provisions required to implement this buffer area shall be specified in the site plan agreement. v) As a condition of development the owner shall be required to entered into a site plan agreement with the Town of Aurora which shall include review by and input of the Ministries of Natural Resources and Environment, and the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority. Appropriate Storm Water Management Reports and Studies will be submitted as part of that approval which will be acceptable to the Ministries of Natural Resources and Environment, the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority and the Town of Aurora. vi) The development shall be serviced with municipal water supply and sanitary sewerage disposal. Implementation and Interpretation Amendment Number 14 to the Official Plan will be implemented and interpreted in accordance with the respective policies of the Town of Aurora Official Plan, as amended. Development of the subject lands will require an arnendmiOJI.t to the Town's Zoning By-law to-establish an appropriate zoning category and standards as well as the execution of a Site Plan Agreement. 7.
