Date: January 25, 2022
Recommendation
1. That Report No. PDS22-017 be received; and
2. That Heritage Permit Application HPA-2020-04 be approved to permit the construction
of a two-storey triplex dwelling at 74 Centre Street.
Executive Summary
This report seeks Council’s approval of Heritage Permit Application HPA-2020-04 for 74
Centre Street.
The revised heritage permit application for the development of a two-storey triplex
dwelling at 74 Centre Street is located in the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage
Conservation District Plan.
Staff continue to support the two-storey triplex dwelling as it represents a
Homestead architectural style and maintains the historical streetscape of Centre
Street.
Staff are satisfied that the proposed detached garage in the rear yard will provide
sufficient parking and will not have any adverse impacts on the streetscape or
rear yard amenity space.
Page 51 of 67
January 25, 2022 2 of 9 Report No. PDS22-017
Staff are of the opinion that the revised design is in keeping with the guidelines of
the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District Plan.
Background
Property Description
The subject property is located within the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation
District on the north side of Centre Street between Spruce Street and Walton Drive.
There is an existing 1½ storey Arts and Crafts bungalow on the property that was
constructed around 1873. The building has been subject to a number of renovations
over the years including a front addition and siding. The original elements of the style
may have been either removed or covered as a result of the alterations. There is a
mature tree located at the front of the existing dwelling that is considered significant as
part of the historical streetscape.
Application History
On November 26, 2020, the owner submitted a Heritage Permit Application (HPA-2020-
04) to permit the construction of two-storey double duplex building with four parking
spaces at the rear. The proposal was presented to the Heritage Advisory Committee on
April 5, 2021, whereby concerns regarding lot depth, number of windows on the front
elevation, and lack of landscape in the rear yard were expressed. Staff worked with the
owner to address the concerns, and revised plans were provided to General Committee
on July 6, 2021 for consideration.
At the July 6, 2021 General Committee meeting, neighbouring property owners
expressed their concerns regarding the scale and density of the development and its
inconsistencies with the historical character of the area, impacts of proposed rear
parking, and noted their willingness to work with the owner to address their concerns.
The application was deferred to a future General Committee meeting. The owner
consented to an extension of the application and engaged in consultations with the
neighbouring property owners to address their concerns and submitted a revised
proposal for Staff’s consideration.
On August 6, 2021, the owner submitted a revised proposal to permit the construction
of a two-storey triplex dwelling with four (4) parking spaces at the front [three (3)
spaces west of the dwelling and one (1) parking space (existing) east of the dwelling],
and a cedar tree hedge along the rear property line.
Page 52 of 67
January 25, 2022 3 of 9 Report No. PDS22-017
This proposal was presented at the September 13, 2021 Heritage Advisory Committee
meeting, whereby comments regarding parking across the front of the house, unit
parking distribution and control, front porch depth and proximity/view to parking,
potential basement units, and traffic were expressed. The Committee further
recommended that the applicant engage an experienced heritage architect to assist
with designing a more compatible with the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation
District.
On October 4, 2021, the application was reviewed by the Town’s Design Review Panel
(DRP) where comments relating to site design, parking, amenity space, landscaping,
design of verandah, and entrances were discussed. The comments were provided to the
owner, who considered them in the revised proposal.
Following consultation with area residents, HAC members, and DRP, the owner
submitted a revised proposal on October 19, 2021 to permit the construction of a two-
storey triplex dwelling with a total of four (4) parking spaces [three (3) spaces in the rear
yard which will be accessed by a driveway located along the west side yard, and one (1)
parking space (existing) in the front yard, east of the dwelling], and a cedar tree hedge
along the rear property line.
The revised proposal was considered by the General Committee on November 16, 2021,
whereby comments relating to rear yard parking, design, and density were discussed.
The application was deferred and referred back to staff. The owner consented to
additional 60-day extension of the application and resubmitted a revised proposal for
Staff’s consideration on December 8, 2021.
Revised Application
Following comments received from the November 16, 2021 General Committee
meeting, the applicant submitted a revised proposal on December 8, 2021 to permit the
construction of a two-storey triplex dwelling with parking provided in a detached garage
located in the rear yard which will be accessed by a driveway located along the west
side yard.
The proposal includes a landscape buffer with pyramidal cedars along the rear property
line to help minimize the visual impact on the abutting property to the north. Extensive
planting is proposed along the west property line and near the front of the east property
line, while the existing vegetation along the east property line will be preserved to further
mitigate any potential impacts of the proposal to the abutting property to the east. The
large mature tree in the front yard is to remain. No other vegetation on the property is
proposed to be removed (Attachment 1 – Proposed Drawings).
Page 53 of 67
January 25, 2022 4 of 9 Report No. PDS22-017
The proposed building continues the Homestead architectural style of a square shaped
building designed with a gable roof. The proposal further maintains a single detached
building form, which is the predominant style in the Northeast Old Aurora
neighbourhood. The front façade features a covered verandah that stretches across the
entire front elevation and is supported by five (5) columns. The siding will consist of
light grey horizontal vinyl. All the windows will be an arts and crafts style. The proposed
building has a total of four glazed entrances, two at the front, and one on each side
elevation. The proposed building also features a first and second storey balcony at the
rear of the building for private amenity space.
Heritage Designation
In 2006, Town Council passed By-Law 4809-06.D to designate 74 Centre Street under
Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act as part of the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage
Conservation District. Council also passed By-Law 4809-06.D to adopt the “Northeast
Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District Plan” as the document to guide the
preservation, redevelopment of properties and streetscapes located within the
boundaries of the District.
Analysis
The Homestead architectural design style is common on Centre Street and is considered
compatible with the character of the neighbourhood
In accordance with the District Plan, 74 Centre Street is described as a “renovated Cape
Cod Cottage, perhaps a DVA House”, characterized by its horizontal siding, gable roof,
and plain trims around the windows. The proposed triplex dwelling replicates some of
the original attributes while maintaining a homestead architectural style, which is
characterized by a gable roof, simple details, sash windows, and clapboard finishes.
This architectural style is common on Centre Street and is considered compatible with
the character of the neighbourhood.
Section 9.1.2 of the District Plan states that the maintenance of the distinctive form,
scale, massing, and spacing found on the traditional streetscape is an important
attribute of the Conservation District. The proposed two-storey triplex maintains a single
detached building form and the historic lotting pattern which is the predominant style in
the Northeast Old Aurora neighbourhood.
Staff continue to be of the opinion that the revised design is in keeping with the
guidelines of the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District Plan

January 25, 2022 5 of 9 Report No. PDS22-017
As per Section 4.5.1 of the District Plan, new residential buildings should complement
the immediate physical context and streetscape by being generally the same scale,
orientation, having similar setbacks, and being of like materials and colours.
A triplex dwelling, which is permitted as of right use in the R7 zone provided it meets
applicable zoning standards including a maximum lot coverage of 35%. The proposal
has been revised to have a narrower footprint than the previous submission with a lot
coverage of 217.41 square metres (30.4%), which is well under the maximum 35% lot
coverage requirement of the Zoning By-Law but will require relief from the lot frontage
and lot area standards of the R7 zone. Staff are of the opinion that the proposed triplex
dwelling is compatible with the scale and massing of the neighbourhood.
Section 9.1.2.4 of the District Plan states that new construction should respect the
overall setback pattern of the streetscape on which it is situated in. The proposed
triplex has a setback of 7.50 m (24.60 ft), excluding the verandah which has a setback
of 5.39 m (17.68m). The main dwelling is setback further than the adjacent dwellings, to
facilitate the front verandah that brings the proposed dwelling forward and allows
sufficient space for landscaping treatment in the front yard. This will decrease any
potential visual dominance issues and are not anticipated to create adverse affects to
the streetscape.
Further, Section 4.2c) of the District Plan states that new dwellings should be limited to
a maximum depth of 16.8 m (55.11 ft), excluding an open porch projection to preserve
backyard amenity space and to be consistent with the existing homes in the
neighborhood. The proposed triplex has a total building depth of 16.65 m (54.62ft).
Staff are satisfied that the revised proposal reflects a built form that is in keeping with
the design objectives of the Heritage District Plan.
Staff are satisfied that the proposed detached garage located in the rear yard is in
keeping with the guidelines of the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District
Plan
The previous design proposed four (4) parking spaces: three (3) spaces in the rear
which was to be accessed by a driveway located along the west side yard, and one (1)
parking space (existing) east of the dwelling. At the November 16, 2021 General
Committee meeting, Council was of the opinion that this design compromises the rear
yard amenity space and proposes a greater area of impervious surface in the rear yard.
As such, the applicant has revised the proposal to provide parking in a detached garage
located in the rear yard.
Page 55 of 67
January 25, 2022 6 of 9 Report No. PDS22-017
Section 4.2a) and Section 9.1.2 of the District Plan states that new garages for new or
existing houses shall be separate rear or flankage yard outbuildings and that side yard
driveways shall be preserved as side yard driveways and rear yard garages are key
elements of the District’s character.
The elimination of rear yard parking from the previous submission allows for ample rear
yard amenity space, which is further complemented by the two-storey balcony on the
rear elevation, which further provides private outdoor amenity area for the units as well.
Staff are satisfied that the detached garage located in the rear yard is consistent with
the aforementioned guidelines in the District Plan and maintains the historic lotting
pattern while preserving the backyard amenity space.
Further, Section 4.2b) and Section 9.1.2.6 of the District Plan states that new garages
for new or existing houses will have gable or hipped roofs, with a maximum height of
4.6 m (15.09 ft). The proposed height of the detached dwelling is approximately 2. 7m
(8.86 ft).
The proposal includes a landscape buffer with pyramidal cedars along the rear property
line to help lessen the visual impact on the adjacent property to the north. Extensive
planting is proposed along the west and near the front of the east property line, while
the existing vegetation along the east property line will further mitigate any potential
impacts of the proposal on the abutting property to the east. No other vegetation on the
property is proposed to be removed.
The proposal is subject to site plan control. Comments relating, but not limited to, the
physical layout of the development, parking, proposed landscaping, and tree
preservation will be addressed in further detail through the site plan process and the
site plan agreement. As such, staff are satisfied that the proposed detached garage in
the rear yard provides sufficient parking space, will not adversely impact the rear-yard
amenity space, and maintains the key elements of scale and massing which are
predominant features of the Northeast Old Aurora neighbourhood.
Potential Additional Units in Basement
The basement walk-up from the previous submission has been removed to eliminate
concerns regarding future conversion of basement for rental use. Secondary units are
not permitted in triplex buildings as per the Town’s Zoning By-law. In the event that one
is proposed, it will require Town Planning Approval (i.e., Minor Variance or Zoning By-
law Amendment). Prior to the issuance of the building permit, the applicant is required
to sign an undertaking stating that the basement will not be converted into an
apartment. As a precautionary measure, staff will include a clause in the Site Plan
Page 56 of 67
January 25, 2022 7 of 9 Report No. PDS22-017
Agreement that will be registered on title to advise future owners that a secondary
dwelling unit is not permitted.
Public Consultation
Staff have been informed that discussions took place with the property owner to the
east, whereby no objection to three (3) units were expressed, but that one of the units
must be in the basement. The applicant has stated that it is unreasonable for adjacent
property owners to comment on how the interior of the building should be designed.
The process for public consultation on a heritage permit is not a requirement of either
the Ontario Heritage Act or the Planning Act. Furthermore, the feedback received from
area residents regarding land use or the interior design of the dwelling are not relevant
to the decision to approve or refuse a heritage permit application.
Advisory Committee Review
The Heritage Advisory Committee discussed the heritage permit application at its
meeting on January 12, 2022. The Committee thanked the applicant and owner for
considering comments provided to date and revising the proposal. The Committee
expressed their support for the detached garage as it fits the character of the
neighbourhood.
However, the Committee expressed concerns regarding a triplex dwelling, depth of
proposed verandah, parking on the property, drainage concerns in the neighbourhood,
and traffic concerns related to proposed development applications in the area.
Steve Armes of 78 Centre Street expressed concerns relating to drainage and impact to
trees and vegetation on the property.
Staff note that land use permissions are regulated by the Town’s Zoning By-law. Staff
further note that comments relating to but not limited to physical layout of the
development, parking, proposed landscaping, and tree preservation will be addressed in
further detail through the site plan process and the site plan agreement.
Legal Considerations
Under Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act, any developments or alterations that
would potentially impact the heritage attributes of a designated property requires
Council’s consent. This legislative requirement is implemented in the Town of Aurora
through the process of a Heritage Permit Application, which is subject to Council’s
approval. Council must make a decision on a heritage permit application within 90 days
Page 57 of 67
January 25, 2022 8 of 9 Report No. PDS22-017
after the notice of receipt is served on the applicant, otherwise Council shall be deemed
to have consented to the application.
In June 2021, the owner consented to an additional 90-day extension, which expired on
October 14, 2021. On August 27, 2021, the owner consented to another 60-day
extension which expired on December 13, 2021. On November 23, 2021, the owner
consented to another 60-day extension which expires on February 11, 2022. Council
may extend the review period of a heritage application in a heritage conservation district
without any time limit under the Ontario Heritage Act provided it is agreed upon by the
owner.
If Council refuses the application, the owner may appeal the refusal to the Ontario Land
Tribunal.
Financial Implications
There are no direct financial implications arising from this report. Development Charges
will be owing at the appropriate time in the process prior to the issuance of a building
permit.
Communications Considerations
The Town will use ‘Inform’ as the level of engagement for this application. There are five
different levels of community engagement to consider, with each level providing the
community more involvement in the decision-making process. These levels are: Inform,
Consult, Involve, Collaborate and Empower. Examples of each can be found in the
Community Engagement Policy. These options are based on the International
Association of Public Participation (IAP2) Spectrum and assist in establishing
guidelines for clearly communicating with our public and managing community
engagement. In order to inform the public, this report will be posted to the Town’s
website.
Climate Change Considerations
The recommendations from this report does not impact greenhouse gas emissions or
impact climate change adaptation.

Link to Strategic Plan
The conservation of heritage resources supports the Strategic Plan goal of Supporting
an Exceptional Quality of Life for All through its accomplishment in satisfying
requirements in objective Celebrating and Promoting our Culture.
Alternative(s) to the Recommendation
1. That Council refuse Heritage Permit Application HPA-2020-04 with an explanation
for the refusal.
Conclusions
Staff are satisfied that the revised proposal reflects a built form that is in keeping with
the design objectives of the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation Heritage
District Plan. Staff recommend to Council that Heritage Permit Application HPA-2020-
04 for 74 Centre Street be approved.
