PART 1-THEPREAMBLE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This part of the Amendment entitled Part 1 -The Preamble, introduces the Amendment and
describes the context and planning process leading to the documents preparation. It is for explanatory
purposes only and does not form part of the Amendment.
2.0 PURPOSE
The North Bayview Residential Neighbourhood is subject to the designations and policies of the
Official Plan for the Aurora Planning Area. Official Plan Amendment No. 61, which has been
approved by the Minister, has specific application to the North Bayview Residential Neighbourhood
and establishes a Detailed Land Use Plan and accompanying Secondary Plan policies. The
designations include various residential density categories, Service Commercial, Convenience
Commercial, Park and Open Space.
The purpose of this amendment is to redesignate certain lands east of the Hydro Corridor and
north of the northerly leg of the collector road (Stone Road). Specifically, the "Urban Residential
High Density" lands are intended to be redesignated to "Urban Residential Medium Density",
to accommodate semi-detached dwellings and townhouse dwellings. In addition, the northerly
portion of the lands designated "Convenience Commercial Centre" is intended to be redesignated
to "Urban Residential Medium Density".
3.0 LOCATION
The subject lands are located in Part of Lot 80, Concession I E.Y.S, near the southwest comer of
Wellington Street and Bayview Avenue. The lands are in the area north of the northerly leg of Stone
Road and east of the Hydro Corridor.
4.0 BASIS OF THE AMENDMENT
Council has adopted this amendment in response to the following:
-4.1 An application has been made to develop the subject lands for urban residential uses
consisting of medium density street townhomes, semi-detached dwellings, service
commercial, convenience commercial and open space uses.
4.2 The present designation and elements of a draft approved plan of subdivision include "Urban
Residential High Density" (stacked townhouses) and part of a fairly large "Convenience
Commercial Centre" site. The stacked townhouses have proven to be unattractive to the
housing market and it is appropriate to down-designate the site to accommodate other less
dense housing forms which will be more marketable.
4.3 The proposed expansion of the "Urban Residential Medium Density" designation will
accommodate a mix of dwelling unit types consisting of semi-detached and townhouse
dwellings. These will be compatible with the existing and planned uses in the area. The
amendment will maintain the integrity and intent of Official Plan Amendment No. 61 and
the accompanying Secondary Plan of the North Bayview Residential Neighbourhood.
Part 1 X The Preamble Page3
4.4 The development density/intensity reduction associated with this amendment will have a
proportionately reduced impact on area services, including piped services, roads, schools,
parks, etc. thereby providing for the development's integration into the community.
