Introduction This part of the Official Plan Amendment No. 13 (the "Amendment"), entitled Part I — The Preamble, explains the purpose and location of this Amendment, and provides an overview of the reasons for it. It is for explanatory purposes only and does not form part of the Amendment. 2. Purpose of the Amendment The purpose of this site specific Official Plan Amendment is to permit single detached dwellings as a permitted use within the "Medium -High Density Residential" designation. 3. Location The lands affected by this Amendment are located south of Wellington Street East, east of Adena Meadows Way, municipally known as 1289 Wellington Street East; having a lot area of approximately 11.8 hectares; and legally described as Part of Lot 20, Concession 2, Whitchurch, Parts 1 to 10, on Plan 65R-36523, Town of Aurora, Regional Municipality of York (the "Subject Lands"). 4. Basis of the Amendment The basis of the Amendment is as follows: 4.1 The Official Plan Amendment application (file: OPA-2016-01) and Zoning By-law amendment was submitted to the Town for consideration on May 18, 2016, to permit the site specific Official Plan Amendment on the Subject Lands. The related amendment to the Town's Zoning By-law and Draft Plan of Subdivision were submitted on May 6, 2016. 4.2 The Public Planning Meeting was held by the Town's Council on June 29, 2016 to obtain input from members of the public and the Town's Council. 4.3 The proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision consists of 145 lots for single detached dwellings. The Draft Plan of Subdivision consists of lots with frontages varying from 11.1 m to 18.3m. 4.4 The Bayview Northeast Area Secondary Plan (OPA 30) designates the subject lands as "Low -Medium Density Residential", Medium -High Density Residential" and "Linear and Other Open Space". The existing land use designation of Medium High Density Residential limits residential uses to predominately above grade housing forms. An amendment to the "Medium High Density Residential" is required to permit the proposed at -grade housing forms while still maintaining the permitted density range. All other designations and policies remain unchanged. 4.5 The implementing Zoning By-law amendment will incorporate appropriate development provisions and performance standards for the development of the Subject Lands. 4.6 The subject lands are situated in between the existing townhouse development to the north and the existing golf course open space to the south and represent a transition between these land uses.
