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
lands shown on Schedule "A", attached hereto and forming part of this amendment from
a designated collector road to the underlying "Mixed Use" and "Business Park''
designations.
3.0 LOCATION
The subject lands affected by this amendment are located within the Town of Aurora,
and are described as Part of Lot 20, Concession II.
4.0 BASIS OF THE AMENDMENT

4.1 An official plan amendment application has been submitted by Ml Developments
Inc. order to delete a portion of the designated east-west collector road, located
south of Wellington Street along the southern boundary of the "Mixed Use" and
"Business Park" designations, and redesignate the lands to the underlying "Mixed
Use" and "Business Park" designations.
4.2 The need for the amendment arose as a result of a proposed site plan for the
subject lands for a medical facility, the approval of which would prevent a portion
of the designated east-west collector road from being constructed.
4.3 The deletion of a portion of the east-west collector road re-enforces the need for
the implementation of the portion of the collector road system linking Bayview
Avenue to Wellington Street in order to maximize accessibility to the abutting
lands to the west without compromising traffic operations of the intersection.

Re: Official Plan Amendment Number 52
The purpose of this amendment is to delete a portion of the designated east-west
collector road, located south of Wellington Street along the southern boundary of
the "Mixed Use" and "Business Park'' designations, and redesignate the lands to

system linking Bayview Avenue to Wellington Street in order to maximize
accessibility to the abutting lands to the west without compromising traffic
operations of the intersection. Furthermore, Council also included a policy that
the Town impose a condition of approval stating that the necessary lands be
dedicated as a public highway and constructed at the time of development
approval of the abutting lands to the west. The timing, design and construction of
the collector road should be to the satisfaction of the Town and Region and, in
particular, should align with the local road on the north side of Wellington Street.
