It is for explanatory purposes only and does not form part of the Amendment. 2.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this amendment is to amend the land use designation policies applicable to the subject lands shown on Schedule "A" and Schedule "H" attached hereto and forming part of this amendment to establish site specific policies to permit the use of the lands for an automobile sales facility and accessory related uses. 3.0 LOCATION The subject lands affected by this amendment are municipally known as 623 Wellington Street East and 669 Wellington Street East, better described as Part of Lot 80, Concession 1 and Block 43, Registered Plan 65M-3461. The subject lands are 2.2 ha in size, including a creek and associated floodplain. 4.0 BASIS OF THE AMENDMENT Council has enacted this amendment in response to the following: 4.1 The existing land use designation was based on the assumption that lands to the north of Wellington Street would be industrial, since Section 3.2.2 (a) of O.P.A. No. 61 acknowledges that the Service Commercial Centre was intended to provide employment and relate to adjacent industrial uses. The lands north of Wellington Street are now the Bayview-Wellington mixed use residential and commercial community. Therefore, a change in the uses permitted on the subject lands is appropriate. 4.2 The subject lands are underutilized, having been used as a contractor's yard for many years and more recently also as a Montessori school and day care. Development provides the potential to improve the aesthetics of the site at the prominent Bayview Avenue and Wellington Street intersection. 1 4.3 Supporting studies demonstrate that this proposal is feasible from a technieal perspective and will not have negative impacts on the environmental attributes of the site. 4.4 The proposed automobile sales and repair facility is considered to be an appropriate and desirable use of these lands. Policies in the Official Plan and zoning standards will ensure a high standard of development and compatibility with adjacent residential uses. 2 PART 2-THE AMENDMENT 1.0 INTRODUCTION All of this part of the document entitled Part 2 -The Amendment, consisting of the following text and attached maps, designated Schedule "A" (Land Use Plan) and Schedule "H" (Site Specific Policy Areas), constitutes Amendment No. 63 to the Official Plan of the Town of Aurora. 2.0 DETAILS OF THE AMENDMENT The Official Plan of the Town of Aurora is hereby amended as follows: Item (1) Section 3.2.2-Service Commercial of the North Bayview Residential Neighbourhood (Cat-Tail) Secondary Plan Area (OPA 61) is hereby amended by deleting and replacing subsection 3.2.2 h to the end of that Section as follows: 3.2.2 h Site Specific Policies (Official Plan Amendment 63) In addition to the provisions of Section 3.2.2 of the North Bayview Residential Neighbourhood Secondary Plan-Official Plan Amendment No. 61, the following additional policies apply to the property designated "Service Commercial", described as Part of Lot 80, Concession 1, Block 43, Plan 65M-3461 and shown on Schedule "A" attached hereto: a) The lands may be developed for a single automobile dealership and related accessory uses that may include a repair facility. b) Council shall require high standards in design, implemented through the site plan approval process, which ensure that the design of the building(s) creates a positive image and reinforces the gateway significance of the Wellington Street and Bayview Avenue intersection.
