AGENDA ITEM # I
TOWN OF AURORA
PUBLIC PLANNING REPORT No. PL04-050
SUBJECT: Official Plan Amendment Application
MI Developments Inc.
Part of Lot 20, Concession 11
File Number D09-01-04
FROM: Sue Seibert, Director of Planning
DATE: April 28, 2004
RECOMMENDATION
THAT Report PL04-050 be received as information and that Council determine their
position with respect to the application, subject to public comments received.
BACKGROUND
This report is an addendum to Public Planning Report No. PL04-032, which was before
Council at the March 24, 2004 meeting and should be read in conjunction with that report.
The application is for an official plan amendment which would 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. 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. At the previous public meeting, Council resolved to adjourn
the application until the April 28, 2004 meeting. This was at the request of the applicant for
the purpose of allowing the Region time to provide their comments. The Region has not
provided their comments at this time, however it is our understanding that we will have
them prior to the public meeting for Council's consideration.
OPTIONS
Should Council determine there is merit the subject application, they have the option of
directing Staff to bring the draft official plan amendment forward to a Council meeting for
adoption. As discussed at the previous public meeting, the applicant has requested that
the official plan amendment be adopted by Council tonight, should Council wish to grant
the applicant their request, the official plan amendment has been drafted and is attached to
this report as Appendix 1. Finally, Council also has the option of referring the application to
a further public meeting if they feel it is necessary or they have the option of denying the
application outright.

Council meeting, subject to public comments received and receiving comments from the
Region.
