PART 1 -THE PREAMBLE
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 document's preparation. It is for
explanatory purposes only and does not form part of the Amendment.
2.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of this amendment is to change the land use designation on the subject property
shown on Schedules "A", "B" and "H" attached hereto and forming part of this amendment, from
"Commercial" to "Commercial Special" and to establish site specific policies to permit the use
of the property for the purposes of a mixed use residential/commercial development with a
residential/commercial ratio of 97%.
3.0 LOCATION
The subject property is located on the east side of Yonge Street, south of Church Street, more
particularly described as Part of Lot 17, Registered Plan 68, and Lot 164 and Part of Lots 163 and
165, Registered Plan 246.
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 a mixed use
residential/commercial development consisting of 24 residential and 2 commercial units.
4.2 The subject property is located with the southerly limits of the Historic Core and is
surrounded by a residential apartment building, a seniors' residence, a commercial
building and single family residential uses. These factors combined indicate that the
subject lands may be an appropriate candidate site for a primarily residential project
( approx. 97%) given the surrounding built form and its distance and commercial function
to the relatively distant traditional downtown area further to the north towards the
Y onge/Wellington intersection.
Part 1 -The Preamble Page2
4.3 The site is adequately serviced by existing schools, parks, utilities and other services. lt
is acknowledged that while servicing is readily available, the capacity of same must be
allocated by Council.
4.4 Implementation and development contemplated for the subject lands shall require the
execution of a site plan agreement with the Town. The site plan for the development shall
ensure high standards in design as it may pertain to landscaping, fencing, vehicular and
pedestrian ingress and egress, site treatment of area adjacent to Tannery Creek as may be
required by The Lake Simcoe Regional Conservation Authority.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
Re: Official Plan Amendment Number 27
Amendment 27 affects a parcel of land on the east side ofYonge Street, south of Church Street.
The parcel is described as Part of Lot 17, Registered Plan 68, and Lot 164 and Part of Lots 163
and 165, Registered Plan 246.
The owners of the subject land wish to develop the site for a 5 storey, mixed use
residential/commercial building which will be comprised of approximately 97% residential floor
area. The present commercial designation of the land is Historic Core Community Commercial
which requires that the site function as a commercial node. The proposed use of the property as
a primarily residential building with a relatively minor commercial component will not conform
with this policy.
Amendment 27 redesignates the subject land to Commercial Special. Policies forming part of
the amendment permit the land to be used for a primarily residential building with a relatively
minor commercial component, and require that adequate on site parking be · provided.
Furthermore, the amendment requires that municipal servicing be allocated by Council, and
provides the option of utilizing the Holding prefix pursuant to Section 36 of the Planning Act
R.S.O. 1990 to ensure that allocation is confirmed by Council prior to its removal.
