Explanatory Note
Re: Zoning By-law Number 4216-00.0
By-law 4216-00.D has the following purpose and effect:
To amend By-law No. 2213-78, the Zoning By-law in effect in the Town of Aurora
to rezone the subject lands north of Wellington Street between Leslie Street and
Highway 404, being part of Lot 21 and 22, Concession 3 from "Rural General
(RU) Zone" and "Rural Residential (R) Zone" to "Business Park (BP) Zone";
"Business Park (H)BP-1 Exception Zone"; Major Open Space(0-9) Exception
Zone" and "Environmental Protection (EP) Zone".
The purpose of the zoning by-law amendment is to permit the development of
"Business Park" containing a range of office/industrial uses along with other
complimentary and accessory uses. The BP-1 exception zone will permit a office
building of up to 10 storeys in height along with two additional buildings with a
maximum height of 6 stories. The BP and BP-1 exception zones are new zones
created in order to facilitate the policies of the Bayview Northeast Area 28
Secondary Plan, (OPA No. 30) which designates the subject lands as "Business
Park". The 0-9 zone corresponds with the stormwater management facilities and
the E-P zone corresponds to the existing woodlots and natural areas.
The removal of the Holding prefix on the BP-1 zone is dependant upon the
execution of a subdivision and site plan agreement and the site plan agreement
must be completed in conformity with the Urban Design Guidelines which are to
be approved by Council.
