Board Meeting Highlights
September 25, 2020
Announcements:
Chair Emmerson advised that the Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation held its ‘Roughin it for
a Reason’ fundraising camp out last night. Vice Chair Ferragine told how he and his cousin Frank
Ferragine roughed it by camping in his backyard raising funds. All proceeds raised went to the
Lake Simcoe conservation Foundation for a new Education Centre at Scanlon Creek
Conservation Area.
Deputations:
a) Mr. Kent Elson, Elson Advocacy
Mayor Quirk declared a conflict of interest in this matter and did not participate due to the
Town of Georgina’s recent vote against the LSRCA permit issued regarding Maple Lake Estates.
Mr. Elson addressed Board members to share his thoughts regarding a Section 28 permit
recently issued and subsequently surrendered regarding Maple Lake Estates. He addressed
three key issues outlined in his letters of August 11th and September 17th, which were included
in the agenda.
b) Mr. Colin Dobell, ClearWater Farm
Mr. Dobell shared his presentation regarding a demonstration project at the ClearWater Farm
in Georgina focused on water harvesting to reduce potable water consumption use in irrigation,
in which he was seeking LSRCA support in their application to the Green Municipal Fund. He
noted that the project has the required municipal support for their application. Mr. Dobell
described the project components as being able to connect site to municipal water/sewer to
handle human water needs, to harvest water from roofs (barn, garage, greenhouses) to be
stored in a cistern, and then an anaerobic biodigester imports water through pure organic food
waste with run-off and liquid digestate is used as irrigation/nutrient source for agriculture. To

Presentations:
a) Chemical Contaminants Report
Manager, Environmental Science and Monitoring, David Lembcke, provided a presentation on
staff’s work on chemical contaminants, sharing some resources and findings on this strategic
plan goal to identify existing and emerging contaminants. Existing contaminants are described
as contaminants we know and can identify and examine, and emerging being those in the
research realm where we have no guidelines or a poor understanding of its impacts. Staff have
developed a very useful chemical contaminants webpage, which displays a description of a
number of groups of contaminants, as well as research done. For more information on chemical
contaminants, please contact David Lembcke at d.lembcke@lsrca.on.ca. To view this webpage,
please click this link: www.lsrca.on.ca/watershed-health/chemical-contaminants. To view this
presentation, please click this link: Chemical Contaminants in the Lake Simcoe Watershed.
b) LSRCA Watershed Restoration Services Department Updates
Manager, Watershed Restoration Services, Christa Sharp and Restoration Project Manager,
Brook Piotrowski provided a presentation on some of the projects and accomplishments of the
Watershed Restoration Department for 2020, noting that 25 project have been completed and
80 are in progress. Projects located across the watershed, including agricultural, natural
heritage and stormwater projects. She highlighted the Goodyear Farm project in the Township
of Beaverton, which began in 2018 to address runoff to Lake Simcoe. A number of best
management practices were identified, and some have been implemented. This project is
ongoing with a number of restoration activities still to come in the fall of 2020 and spring of
2021.
Another project highlighted was a retrofit project in the City of Barrie in the Victoria Woods
parking lot, which was very muddy and had many potholes. This project was a great
opportunity for a low impact development feature, where the City resurfaced it with asphalt
and run-off was re-directed the hard surface area to a bioretention swale. Many benefits we
realized on this project, including stormwater being infiltrated to the low impact development
feature, a reduction in phosphorus, and an improvement to water quality and reduction to
peak flows.

more information on watershed restoration services, please contact Christa Sharp at

York Region placed under Modified Stage 2 restrictions
Effective Monday, October 19, 2020 at 12:01 a.m., the Government of Ontario placed The Regional
Municipality of York under Modified Stage 2 COVID-19 restrictions for a minimum period of 28 days.
These modified restrictions include the closure of:
x Indoor food and drink service in restaurants, bars, nightclubs and food courts in malls
x Indoor gyms, dance studios and fitness centres
x Casinos, bingo halls and other gaming establishments
x Indoor cinemas
x Performing arts centres and venues
x Spectator areas in racing venues
x Interactive exhibits or exhibits with high risk of personal contact, such as museums, galleries,
zoos, science centres, and landmarks
x Prohibiting personal care services where face coverings must be removed for the service (e.g.
make-up application, beard trimming)
x Jury selection for provincial court trials
x Short-term and temporary absences of Long-Term Care Centre residents for social or personal
reasons
Additional restrictions include:
x Limits for all social gatherings and organized public events
x Reduced capacity limits for real estate open houses and guided tours
x Team sports limited to training sessions, which includes for games or scrimmages
York Region is working with our nine local cities and towns to communicate Modified Stage 2
restrictions. Through a collaborative approach and the strong support of municipal bylaw services,
enforcement of these restrictions is critical to curtail the continued spread of COVID-19 in the
community.
The impacts of COVID-19 continue to affect everyone, including individuals, families and businesses
across York Region. It is vital to follow the public health measures in place, including staying at home
when feeling ill, maintaining physical distancing, washing your hands frequently with soap and water,
limiting gatherings to those in your immediate household and wearing a face mask or covering when
physical distancing is not possible.
Page 35 of 94
As York Region continues to navigate these new restrictions, York Regional Council will continue to
work with partners in the provincial government to monitor emerging COVID-19 trends within our
communities.
York Region’s continuing response to COVID-19
Regional Council received an update on York Region’s continuing response to the COVID-19 global
pandemic.
Since declaring a state of emergency on March 23, 2020, York Region has taken a coordinated and
supported approach to minimize COVID-19 impacts on residents and communities.
In the initial wave of COVID-19, York Region opened the Regional Emergency Operations Centre
(REOC) and activated the REOC action plan to:
x Provide regular COVID-19 updates through York Region’s Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Karim
Kurji
x Develop an integrated approach for mitigating the negative economic impact on local
businesses and residents
x Make a request to suspend/amend sections of Municipal Act to provide more targeted,
application-based financial relief to local businesses
x Close all offices to the public and providing services to residents through modified means,
including online and telephone
x Continue collaboration with municipalities, partner agencies and health care organizations
While the health and well-being of residents and the community remains Regional Council’s top priority,
services essential to residents continue to operate. Some of these include: Public Health, Access York,
Long-Term Care, Paramedic Services, Social Services, Transit, Regional Roads and Water and
Wastewater.
As York Region moves through the various stages of the provincial re-opening plan, additional services
and programs have also resumed. These include additional public health programs and counter service
of the Provincial Offences Courts. Most recently, provincially imposed Modified Stage 2 restrictions
have resulted in the further re-prioritization of service and programs to support York Region’s on-going
pandemic response. A full list of service disruptions and program closures is available at
york.ca/closures
Collaboration with federal, provincial and community partners continues to support York Region’s most
vulnerable populations and those facing additional hardship as a result of COVID-19. Through various
financial aid programs and the work of community support tables, York Region has distributed more
than 300,000 non-medical face masks to low-income and vulnerable residents. In addition, Regional
staff continue to adapt and deliver programs and services to compliment other government initiatives to
address social services needs in the community.
Included in the COVID-19 updates to Regional Council was an analysis of the financial information. The
unexpected costs and reduced revenue associated with COVID-19 have a cumulative impact of $101.5
million to date, or approximately $3.4 million per week.
Travel patterns in York Region continue to be affected by COVID-19. While daily traffic volumes have
gradually increased since the re-opening of business and service in early May, these numbers remain
lower than pre-pandemic times.
Page 36 of 94
The number of travellers using York Region Transit (YRT)/Viva services has also decreased as a result
of the pandemic. While YRT/Viva buses running on Regional roads are starting to experience an
increase in ridership they continue generating lower annual revenue.
COVID-19 has affected Land Use Planning and Community Design. Shifts to telework and additional
time connected online have impacted commute patterns, demand for larger and more flexible living
spaces, access to open and green spaces, change in retail, office and employment spaces and an
increasing demand for lands to accommodate warehouse centres.
Longer term data and evidence are still needed to fully assess COVID-19 impacts on land use planning
and the design of livable, complete and resilient communities.
As York Region continues to respond to COVID-19, Regional Council remains committed to supporting
strong, caring and safe communities. Throughout this crisis, York Region has maintained
york.ca/covid19 as a trusted source of information related to public health and safety.
Regional staff will continue to monitor community needs and their impact on Regional programs and
services and will continue to update Regional Council and the community on the on-going response.
Council votes to maintain status quo in appointment of Regional Chair
In a motion deferred from the February 6, 2020 Committee of the Whole meeting, Regional Council
voted against the direct election of the Regional Chair position.
In defeating this motion, Regional Council will maintain the current approach of appointing the Regional
Chair. Section 4 of the Region’s Procedural Bylaw sets out the process for appointing the Regional
Chair, which must be confirmed by vote at the inaugural meeting of Regional Council.
Since York Region was established in 1971, the Regional Chair has been appointed by members of
Regional Council. Similar motions were defeated by Council in 2012 and 2016.
Proposed Employment Area Mapping and Employment Conversions
Regional Council received several proposed employment land conversions with a number of potential
conversions along the 400-series highways.
The Provincial Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and Provincial Policy Statement require
municipalities to plan for future employment by ensuring land is available in appropriate locations to
accommodate planned Regional growth. Seventy site-specific requests for employment area
conversions and proposed employment area mapping were laid out in the recent conversion report.
After extensive discussion, Council supported 24 conversion requests, with an additional eight
determined to not require an employment area conversion.
Additional employment lands along the 400-series highways have also been highlighted as potential
space for growth and further job creation in York Region. The Potential for Employment Lands Along
400 Series Highways report requests the province to develop a process for municipalities to access
strategically located employment lands, if necessary, through the Municipal Comprehensive Review.
Much of these lands are protected by the Greenbelt Plan.
Work on the Regional Official Plan continues through the Municipal Comprehensive Review with public
feedback and engagement opportunities available at york.ca/haveyoursay

York University Markham Centre Campus set to open in 2023
Regional Council received an update from York University President and Vice Chancellor Dr. Rhonda
Lenton on the construction of the York University Markham Centre Campus.
Since 2014, Regional Council has advocated for the expansion of post-secondary opportunities in York
Region, committing $25 million to the development of a university campus in the City of Markham.
Bringing a university campus to the City of Markham has been a long-standing priority for Regional
Council. Engaging in post-secondary attraction is a key goal in York Region’s Economic Development
Action Plan, which aims to create new opportunities for research, innovation and business growth.
With approval from the Government of Ontario, York Region, the City of Markham and York University
officials broke ground on the Markham Centre Campus on Tuesday, September 22, 2020.
When the new campus opens in September 2023 it will bring 4,200 new student spaces to York
Region, strengthen opportunities for students in a provincially designated growth centre and contribute
$54 million annually to the provincial economy.
Municipal Streetscape and Pedestrian and Cycling update
Regional Council received an update on the Municipal Streetscape Partnership Program and
Pedestrian and Cycling Partnership Program. These programs offer cost-sharing to the Region’s cities
and towns for local projects that support walking and cycling in safe and vibrant communities that all
can enjoy.
Through the 2020 budget, the following projects were funded:
x $144,332: A gateway feature/paved plaza at the southwest corner of Yonge Street and St. John’s
Sideroad in the Town of Aurora
x $24,269: A gateway to enable completion of landscape works surrounding the sign feature for the
Bathurst Street and Davis Drive in the Town of Newmarket
x $172,200: Bike Paths on either side of Clark Avenue between Jason Street/David Lewis Drive and
Yonge Street in the City of Vaughan for Clark Avenue
x $327,800: Phase 2 of the Bathurst Street and Davis Drive multi-use path in the Town of Newmarket
Since its launch in in 2006, almost 75 projects totalling more than $10 million have been funded.
York Region response to major changes to the Environmental Assessment Act
The COVID-19 Economic Recovery Act (Bill 197), introduced significant changes to both Class and
Individual Environmental Assessment processes. The Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks
now has authority to create new regulations that would replace all Class Environmental Assessments.
Changes under the Act will move to an approach where only the projects identified on a list will be
subject to environmental assessment requirements.
It has been the Region’s experience there can be unintended consequences directly related to
significant delays experienced with the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks issuing
environmental assessment approvals for critical municipal infrastructure projects. Examples include:
x Duffin Creek outfall upgrade was a Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment
which took nine years to receive approval
x Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer took more than a decade to receive a decision on the
Environmental Assessment
Page 38 of 94
The Region’s response on the changes include key concerns for timelines, accountability and
increased costs.
Addressing these items is critical to the Region’s ability to achieve growth targets under the Growth
Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. By speeding up infrastructure approvals, municipalities can
avoid excessive costs associated with protracted delays and focus on delivering critical infrastructure
that contributes to Ontario’s economic prosperity.
2019 waste diversion from landfill goal exceeded at 94%
York Region has again achieved 94% diversion from landfill based on the release of the 2019 Annual
Waste Management Report, exceeding the Official Plan goal of 90%. This includes all tonnes from local
city and town curbside collection programs, waste depot diversion programs and tonnes managed
through energy-from-waste.
Since 2012, York Region and our local cities and towns have ranked first in urban municipal diversion.
York Region is committed to the four R’s of recycling, reducing, reusing and recovering energy-from-
waste.
Highlights of the 2019 Annual Waste Management Report include:
x Organics and garbage generation rates have remained steady over the past five years
x York Region continues to prepare for full transition of the Blue Box Program to producer
responsibility
x As a result of the transition, reporting the waste generation rate will now focus on green bin and
garbage streams only
x While green bin and garbage generation reported for 2019 is encouraging, impacts from
COVID-19 will undoubtedly influence trends moving forward; York Region has remained flexible
in its response to COVID-19 system impacts
Based on diversion rates as well as the commitment to waste reduction and reuse efforts, the Region
and its local municipal partners are well placed to move towards its visionary goal of a world with no
waste. For more information on York Region’s waste reduction initiatives, visit york.ca/sm4rtliving
2019 Long-Term Care and Seniors Annual Performance Updates
Regional Council received an update on the performance of the Region’s two long-term care homes.
Key findings in the report include:
x In 2019, the homes continued to provide high-quality care to residents and made several
improvements in response to the Long-Term Care Homes Public Inquiry Report findings
x Seniors Community Programs continued to support seniors to age in place by providing much
needed services and caregiver relief
x Accreditation for Long-Term Care and Seniors Community Programs will be conducted virtually
in November 2020
The global pandemic continues to change how care is delivered at the Region’s long-term care homes.
With admissions being paused, the waitlist for each home has increased and additional resources
needed to respond adequately to protect the safety and well-being of residents and staff and continue
providing high quality care.
Page 39 of 94
Community Investment Fund Activity Report
Regional Council received an update on the activity of the 2019 Community Investment Fund which
promotes community health, safety and well-being by supporting local projects and initiatives that
respond to community needs and fill service gaps, including those resulting from and exacerbated by
the on-going COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2019, more than 66,000 residents were supported through the Community Investment Fund’s four
Community Results Areas.
For 2021, Regional Council approved 42 community projects and funding for initiatives to support York
Region’s not-for-profit community agency sector.
Metrolinx Queen Street and Highway 7 Bus Rapid Transit Update
As Metrolinx is completing its Queen Street and Highway 7 Bus Rapid Transit Planning Study and Initial
Business Case, York Region remains an active participant of the technical advisory committee.
When complete, the project will connect downtown Brampton to the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre,
which includes a connection to the Spadina Subway Station. Regional Council remain supportive of the
Queen Street-Highway 7 Bus Rapid Transit project only if significant capital funding contributions are
not expected from York Region at this time.
The Planning Study and Initial Business Case are expected to be released fall 2020. Meetings with the
involved communities will take place as part of the preliminary design phase to take local opinion into
account during the design.
Policing in a changing environment
Regional Council received an update from York Regional Police Chief Jim MacSween on policing in the
community and the transitional role of policing in York Region.
As a one of the top police services in the country, York Regional Police are dedicated to ensuring the
safety and security of residents, while safeguarding fundamental rights and respecting the diversity of
the community.
In response to a growing population and changing demographics, York Regional Police continue to
transform the way they serve the public through updated technology, community engagement,
modernized policing and new approaches to mental health response protocols.
Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority Budget and Priority Update
Regional Council received a 2020 Budget update from the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority
(LSRCA) and an outline of annual operating priorities.
As the leading environmental protection agency in the Lake Simcoe watershed, LSRCA works with the
community, Regional Council and other partners to protect and restore the environmental health and
quality of Lake Simcoe.
In 2020, LSRCA’s priorities included the completion of floodplain mapping and a flood relief program,
development of climate change mitigation strategies, fundraising for the new Scanlon Creek Nature
Centre and implementation of the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan.
The 2020 budget and priorities set out by LSRCA were developed prior to the provincial declaration of
emergency and the emergence of COVID-19 in the community. Due to the uncertainties of the
Page 40 of 94
pandemic, some of the planned work outlined in the 2020 priorities were impacted. LSRCA staff
continue to track and report on the progress of these priorities and will provide Regional Council with an
update in 2021.
Regional Council also recognized LSRCA Chief Administrative Officer Mike Walters for his 36 years of
service to protecting and restoring the Lake Simcoe watershed, and offered congratulations and best
wishes in his retirement.
York Regional Police Marine Unit Grand Opening
On Monday, October 5, 2020, York Region and York Regional Police celebrated the official opening of
the new York Regional Police Marine Unit in the Town of Georgina.
The new state-of-the-art facility is staffed by officers in York Regional Police District #3 and is
responsible for patrolling 350 square kilometres of Lake Simcoe and other York Region waterways.
This new facility provides officers with the necessary equipment and resources required to respond to
the needs of the lake community, while also providing high level police services for all who live, work
and play on Lake Simcoe.
National Seniors Day
Regional Council celebrated National Seniors Day on October 1, 2020 by honouring older adults and
highlighting their valuable contributions to families, workplaces, communities and society.
In York Region, the population of seniors is growing faster than any other age group. By 2031,
residents over the age of 65 will make up 21% of the population.
To best support the changing needs of this population, Regional Council endorsed the York Region
Seniors Strategy in 2016. Seniors living in York Region make up a diverse group with varying life
experiences and personal characteristics, and this strategy helps define the Region’s role in serving
older adults while balancing the needs of all residents.
World Mental Health Day
Regional Council recognized Saturday, October 10, 2020 as World Mental Health Day. Celebrated
annually, World Mental Health Day raises awareness of mental health issues and mobilizes support for
mental health services and resources around the world.
The past year has brough many challenges. The social isolation, economic impacts and fear and
anxiety caused by the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic has put a spotlight on mental health
around the world.
World Mental Health Day is an opportunity for all residents to take concrete actions to support their
mental health, support friends and family who are struggling and support mental wellness in our homes,
organizations and communities.
Ontario Agriculture Week
From October 5 to 11, 2020 York Region celebrated Ontario Agricultural Week by thanking hard
working farmers for the important role they play in supporting the economy.
York Region is home to more than 700 farm-based businesses and 270 food and beverage
manufacturers. Together, these businesses contribute approximately 57,000 jobs and $2.7 billion to the
local economy. In addition to encouraging residents to eat and shop locally, Regional Council support
Page 41 of 94
this vital sector through the York Region Agriculture and Agri-Food Sector Strategy and the York
Region Agricultural Advisory Liaison Group.
Small Business Week
Regional Council recognized Small Business Week from October 18 to 24, 2020. Acknowledging small
businesses as the backbone of the local economy, small business week offers an opportunity to thank
local businesses for providing good-quality jobs and contributing to a prosperous and competitive York
Region.
As York Region continues to respond to the health and economic impacts of COVID-10, residents are
reminded of the importance of supporting local businesses as they work to protect the health and safety
of the community while also striving to keep doors open during these challenging times.
Waste Reduction Week
Regional Council recognized October 19 to 25, 2020 as Waste Reduction Week with a focus on the
circular economy, resource efficiency and waste reduction.
As a leader in waste diversion, York Region has long advocated for an Ontario-wide effort to reduce
litter and waste in the community. Regional Council welcomed the Ontario Government’s October 19,
2020 announcement to develop a stronger and more effective blue box program in Ontario.
Under the proposed regulation, the provincial government will standardize and increase the list of
materials accepted in the blue box, transition to producer responsibility, expand blue box services to
more communities and set the highest waste diversion targets in North America.
United Nations Day
Regional Council recognized October 24, 2020 as United Nations Day.
Celebrated annually around the world, United Nations Day recognizes this global organization
dedicated to disaster relief, humanitarian aid, peacekeeping and international unity.

with the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) on initiatives to promote diversity
and inclusion in York Region.

Part – I The Preamble
1.The Introduction
This part of Official Plan Amendment No. 22 (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 Amendment is to redesignate the subject lands from “Business
Park” and “Business Park – Special Policy Area 1” to “Business Park – Special Policy
Area 1” in its entirety. In addition, the Amendment will amend Section 3.5 of OPA 30 and
Section 16.36 of the Town of Aurora Official Plan to add “Motor Vehicle Sales
Establishment” and “Commercial Self-Storage Facility” as permitted uses on a portion
of the subject lands in order to facilitate the future development of an integrated
campus-like setting that include motor vehicle sales establishment(s), self-storage,
office, retail, and other employment uses. The Amendment also includes an extension
of Site Specific Policy Area 36 to the balance of the subject lands and the deletion of
restrictions related to the maximum gross floor area of individual commercial retail
units.
3.Location
The lands affected by this Amendment are located on the southwest corner of
Wellington Street East and Highway 404, and municipally known as 1623 Wellington
Street East and legally described as Part of Lot 20, Concession 3, Whitchurch, as set out
in Instrument No. WH23270, save and except the lands described in Instrument No.
IF400 and Expropriation Plans A48957A and R619446 lying west of Highway 404, Town
of Aurora, The Regional Municipality of York (the “Subject Lands”).
4.Basis of the Amendment
The basis of the amendment is as follows:
4.1 Official Plan Amendment 30 designates the subject lands “Business Park” and
“Business Park – Special Policy Area 1” and are identified as Site Specific Policy
Area 36 in Schedule ‘H’ of the Official Plan. The Business Park designation
permits an integrated mix of employment activities and businesses, including
business and professional offices, as well as a variety of supporting commercial
and community facilities.
The “Business Park – Special Policy Area 1” designation permits a maximum of
18,120 m² of limited ancillary commercial and retail uses in addition to the
Business Park uses already permitted. These commercial retail uses will need to
be designed to primarily service the business park lands and collectively shall not
exceed 20% of total employment in the designated employment land area of OPA
30. In addition, the development of these commercial retail areas is to be phased
with a maximum of 11,100 m² of commercial retail space being permitted in
accordance with site specific by-law requirements. Additional commercial uses
beyond this cap shall only be permitted at a ratio of 1 m² of gross floor area for
every 1.5 m² gross floor area of business park uses developed on the remainder
of the site. Also, restrictions are prescribed for commercial retail uses as the
maximum gross floor area of any individual commercial retail unit shall not
Page 81 of 94
By-law Number XXXX-20 Page 4 of 6
exceed 2,000 m² except that a maximum of four retail stores shall be permitted
to have a maximum gross floor area of 2,500 m².
4.2 Applications for Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment were
submitted to the Town of Aurora for review in 2020, to facilitate the development
of the eastern portion of the subject lands with a phased, integrated campus-like
setting that will include retail, motor vehicle sales establishment(s), self-storage,
offices, and other employment uses.
4.3 The Official Plan Amendment was submitted to redesignate the subject lands
from “Business Park” and “Business Park – Special Policy Area 1” to “Business
Park – Special Policy Area 1” in its entirety, and to add “Motor Vehicle Sales
Establishment” and “Commercial Self-Storage Facility” as permitted uses on a
portion of the subject lands. Additionally, the Official Plan Amendment was also
submitted to extend the Site Specific Policy Area 36 to the balance of the subject
lands and to delete the restrictions on the maximum gross floor area of
individual commercial retail units.
4.4 A Public Planning Meeting was held on June 9, 2020, to present the application
and obtain input from the public and Council.
4.5 The proposed uses are compatible and appropriate with the existing surrounding
land uses and will contribute to a complete community.
4.6 The Amendment is consistent with Provincial and Regional Policies and Plans.
4.7 The Town of Aurora is the approval authority for the Amendment.
4.8 The proposed development of the subject lands will be subject to future site plan
applications to ensure compatibility with the surrounding area.
