The owner is requesting relief from the requirements of the Town of
Aurora Comprehensive Zoning By-law 6000-17, as amended, to permit a
“Restaurant” use on the subject lands.
• Section 24.187.1 permits a “Maximum of one restaurant, drive-thru
special”. The applicant is proposing a “Restaurant” as a permitted use.
MV-2020-10 was considered at the June 18, 2020 Committee of
Adjustment meeting. At this meeting, Committee passed a motion to defer
the subject application to a future meeting date to facilitate further
discussion with area residents and Town Staff.
The Chair invited the Applicant or Agent to address the Committee. In
attendance were the applicants Julian De Gasperis and Daniel Frustaglio.
The applicant provided a brief presentation regarding the updates for the
application.
The Chair invited members of the public to provide comments. In
attendance was the President of the Baywell Community Ratepayers
Association, Randy Henderson. The delegate provided an update since the
previous meeting, the preparation of the Memorandum of Understanding,
and future concerns.
The Committee inquired about how the Memorandum of Understanding
may be enforced and included as part of the decision. Staff stated that if
the Committee were to approve the application, that it would be
contingent to the conditions, and that the MOU is noted on file but the
Town does not have a mechanism to enforce it. The Committee further
inquired to the applicants if they had been approached by tenants for uses
that are already permitted in the Zoning By-law. The applicants stated that
the permission is for the potential of the restaurant uses that align with
the MOU and fit the community, but also welcome other uses.
Additionally, the Committee discussed the options of including a temporal
component as a condition with the applicant and Baywell Community
Ratepayers Association.
