No decision on the subject applications is being made at this time and comments received from the Public Planning Meeting will be addressed prior to a recommendation report being brought back for Council’s consideration.  The subject property is a residential lot within an Ontario Municipal Board approved Plan of Subdivision.  OPA 34 requires new developments to have a density of 5 units per hectare.  The purpose of the OPA is to remove the maximum building coverage, remove the requirement of a Block Plan and exceed the maximum residential density to permit 3 additional residential lots (5.5 units/ha). Page 1 of 44 May 9, 2023 2 of 13 Report No. PDS23-063  The purpose of the Zoning By-law Amendment to change the zoning category from R2 to R3 is to align with the other 28 lots in the approved Plan of Subdivision. Background Application History The subject property is a residential lot within an Ontario Municipal Board approved Plan of Subdivision. Previously, on August 12, 2014 – Council enacted by-law 5656-14 (OPA no. 6) to redesignate the area (including the subject lands) to change the land use designations from “Cluster Residential” to “Environmental Function Area” and from “Estate Residential” to “Cluster Residential”. At the same meeting, Council enacted by-law 5657- 14 to replace the “Oak Ridges Moraine Rural (RU-ORM) Zone” to a range number of residential zoning categories, Open Space zone and Oak Ridges Moraine - Environmental Protection zone. The provisions of the above Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment facilitated the development of twenty-nine (29) single detached lots with related site-specific policies. Subsequently, on September 16, 2014, Council approved the related Draft Plan of Subdivision with a total of 29 units residential lots. On November 10, 2014, Council’s decision to approve the Draft Plan of Subdivision was appealed by a local resident. On April 23, 2015 the Ontario Municipal Board approved a Draft Plan of Subdivision and related Conditions of Approval for the purpose of developing a residential subdivision consisting of 29 single detached lots. The M-Plan was registered on June 28, 2018. In June of 2020, a pre-consultation meeting was held between staff and the applicant regarding the subject applications. On December 17, 2021, the subject applications were submitted concurrently to the Town. Town staff then declared the subject applications complete on February 22, 2022. Page 2 of 44 May 9, 2023 3 of 13 Report No. PDS23-063 Location / Land Use The subject lands is generally located west of Yonge Street and north of Bloomington Road. More specifically it is located at the southeast corner of Ridge Road and Glensteeple Trail (see Figure 1 – Location Map). The subject lands have a lot area of 0.65 acres (0.26 hectares) and a lot frontage along Glensteeple Trail of approximately 70m (230 ft). Surrounding Land Uses The surrounding land uses are as follows: North: Ridge Road and existing single detached dwellings; South: Single Detached dwellings (min. lot frontage of 15m (50ft) under construction); East: Existing Regional water tower, existing single detached dwellings and Yonge Street; and West: Glensteeple Trail and existing single detached dwellings. Policy Context Provincial Policies All Planning Act development applications are subject to provincial policies. The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest. These policies support the development of strong communities through the promotion of efficient land use and development patterns. The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe is a guiding document for growth management within the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) Area to 2051. The Growth Plan provides a framework which guide decisions on how land will be planned, designated, zoned and designed. The Lake Simcoe Protection Plan (LSPP) is a provincial document that provides policies which addresses aquatic life, water quality, water quantity, shorelines and natural heritage, other threats and activities (including invasive species, climate change and recreational activities) and implementation. York Region Official Plan (YROP) The subject lands are designated as Urban Area and is situated close to a Regional Corridor as shown in Map 1 – Regional Structure of the YROP. Urban Areas are planned to accommodate a significant portion of growth for the Region through intensification. Page 3 of 44 May 9, 2023 4 of 13 Report No. PDS23-063 In addition, the subject lands are within the “Built Up Area” as shown in Map 1B – Urban System Overlays of the YROP. Section 4.1.3.b anticipates small scale intensification and infill development based on local context to occur within the Built Up area. Furthermore, section 4.4.2 of the YROP states that a minimum of 50% of all residential development between 2021 to 2041, and 55% from 2041 to 2051 will occur annually within the built-up area. Section 2.2.1 of the YROP states that the population and employment forecasts in Table 1 will be used as the basis for planning of new development. Table 1 of the YROP has projected the Town of Aurora to have a population of 85,000 by the year 2051. Section 7.3.8 of the Region of York Official Plan states that amendments to local Official Plans may be exempt from Regional approval if they are of local significance and no Regional interest is adversely affected. Currently, the Region is retaining approval authority over the Official Plan Amendment for now, but this will be reassessed by the Region as part of the further review of the proposal. Town of Aurora Official Plan – Yonge Street South Secondary Plan Area (OPA 34) OPA 34 requires new developments to have a density of 5 units per hectare The subject lands are currently designated as “Cluster Residential” as shown on Schedule A of the Town’s Official Plan with a site-specific policy # 42 as shown on Schedule “H” of the Town’s Official Plan. (Figure 2 and 3 of this report). OPA 6 was a privately initiated Official Plan Amendment application which resulted in a site-specific policy # 42. Site specific policy #42 requires the subject lands with Cluster Residential designation to comply with the following: a) On an individual lot basis, the maximum permitted building coverage for the proposed 29 residential lots shall not exceed 35%. b) A minimum of 20 metres of separation shall be maintained between primary residential buildings in the “Cluster Residential” designation and abutting lands designated “Estate Residential”. c) Site grading for development shall be undertaken, in a manner that preserves existing landforms and minimizes impact on adjoining lands to the greatest extent possible where natural features such as trees are intended to be preserved. d) Any lot abutting Ridge Road shall have a minimum lot frontage of 22 metres and minimum lot area of 0.18 ha (0.44 acres). Page 4 of 44 May 9, 2023 5 of 13 Report No. PDS23-063 With regards to density provisions, section 3.2.3 of OPA 34 states that the gross residential density averaged over the constrained and unconstrained lands subject to a development application shall be no more than 5 units per hectare (2 units/acre). Furthermore, section 3.2.7 of OPA 34 states that prior to approval of an application to permit new development within Cluster Residential designation, a Block Plan must be approved by the Town. Zoning By-law 6000-17, as amended The subject lands have a site-specific zoning classification “Detached Second Density Residential R2(437)”(Figure 4). The site-specific zoning by-law #5657-14 was enacted by Council on August 12, 2014. The permitted uses of the R2(437) Zone are one (1) detached dwelling per lot and a home occupation. The parking requirement is to provide a minimum of three (3) parking spaces, of which a minimum of one (1) parking space shall be provided within a private garage, and a minimum of two (2) parking spaces shall be provided, either in tandem or side by side, on the driveway. For purpose of calculation, the site-specific zoning by-law also deemed the lot line which abuts Ridge Road as the front lot line. Lastly, the site-specific by-law requires a minimum of 40% of the lot area shall be preserved in an open, landscaped or natural condition. This 40% shall not include a swimming pool, accessory buildings or structures, paved driveway, patio or any area covered with impervious material.

Proposed Applications Proposed Official Plan Amendment The purpose of the OPA is to remove the maximum building coverage, remove the requirement of a Block Plan and exceed the maximum residential density to permit 3 additional residential lots (5.5 units/ha). As shown in Figure 5, the applicant is proposing to keep the existing “Cluster Residential” designation and amend section 3.8.5 of OPA 34 (site specific #42) as follows: a) A minimum of 20 metres of separation shall be maintained between primary residential buildings in the “Cluster Residential” designation and abutting lands designated “Estate Residential”. b) Site grading for development shall be undertaken, in a manner that preserves existing landforms and minimizes impact on adjoining lands to the greatest extent possible where natural features such as trees are intended to be preserved. c) Any lot abutting Ridge Road shall have a minimum lot frontage of 22 metres and minimum lot area of 0.18 ha (0.44 acres). d) Notwithstanding any other provisions in OPA 34, a Block Plan is not required to permit new development on the subject lands as they are a completion of the Plan of Subdivision 65M-4614. e) Notwithstanding any other provisions in OPA 34, the gross residential density averaged over the constrained and unconstrained lands subject to a development application shall be no more than 5.5 units per hectare (2.2 units/acre). Note: The entire approved plan of subdivision has a lot area of 5.85 hectares (14.5 acres). The approved Plan of Subdivision has a density of 29 units / 5.85 = 5 units/ ha. The proposed density is 32 units / 5.85 ha = 5.5 units/ha.

Page 9 of 44 May 9, 2023 10 of 13 Report No. PDS23-063 Public Comments At the time of drafting this report, no formal comments have been received from the public regarding the proposed planning applications. Planning Staff only received general inquiries on the proposed applications. A Community Information Meeting was hosted by the applicant on April 13, 2023 at the Aurora Public Library. The following is a general summary of the comments received from the Community Information Meeting and responses from Town Staff: Public Comments Response How long will construction take to complete the proposed development? If approved by Council, it can take up to 3 to 4 years to finish construction from the time of Council’s decision. Concerns with the existing noise and dust from the adjacent lands. North Rock is the contractor for the Region’s Feedermain Rehabilitation Project that is happening on Yonge Street and Ridge Road between Glensteeple and Yonge Street. They received approval from the Developer to use the subject lands at Glensteeple and Ridge Road for their site trailer, material storage, etc., while they complete the Region’s project. Town Staff have informed North Rock to keep the road clean throughout the day and just at the end of the day. In addition, Staff have asked North Rock to put down more gravel or a proper mud-mat to help stop the mud and dirt tracking. Page 10 of 44 May 9, 2023 11 of 13 Report No. PDS23-063 Currently experiencing an increased volume of traffic on Ridge Road. Is a sidewalk being proposed along Glensteeple Trail or Ridge Road. Currently there is school bus pickup and drop off stop at the intersection of Ridge Road and Glensteeple Trail. Any possibility of expanding the existing daylight triangle area to provide a dedicated pick up and drop off area. The merits of the proposed sidewalk and/or expanding the daylight triangle will be considered by the Applicant and Town Staff as part of the proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application process. The original approved Subdivision by the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) is for a total of 29 lots. The proposed additional lots will increase the density as required in the Secondary Plan and the OMB decision. Staff clarify the proposed increase is from 2 units/ acres to 2.2 units/acre. The merits of the increase will be review as part of the Official Plan Amendment application process. Advisory Committee Review As per the memo dated March 1, 2022, the Town’s Accessibility Advisor has reviewed the subject applications on behalf of the Accessibility Advisory Committee and has no comments. Legal Considerations Subsections 22(7) and 22(7.0.2) of the Planning Act states that if Council refuses the Official Plan Amendment application or fails to make a decision on it within 120 days after the receipt of the application, the applicant (or the Minister) may appeal the application to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT). Subsection 34(11.0.0.0.1) of the Planning Act states that if the passing of a Zoning By- law Amendment also requires an amendment to the Official Plan, and that if both applications are made on the same day, if Council refuses the Zoning By-law Amendment application or fails to make a decision on it within 120 days after the receipt of the application, the applicant (or Minister) may appeal the application to the LPAT. Page 11 of 44 May 9, 2023 12 of 13 Report No. PDS23-063 The proposed applications were received on December 17, 2021 and therefore, the applicant may appeal to the LPAT at any time. Financial Implications There are no financial implications arising from this report. Communications Considerations On February 28th, 2022, a Notice of Complete Application respecting the Zoning By-law Amendment Application was published in the Auroran and Aurora Banner newspapers. On April 13th, 2023, a Community Information Meeting was held at the Aurora Public Library. On April 19th, 2023, Notice of Public Planning Meeting was mailed out to all addressed property owners within 120 m of the subject lands and expanded the circulation to complete the existing properties on Ridge Road and Glensteeple Trail. In addition, the notice was published in the Auroran and Aurora Banner newspapers. Signage on the subject lands was posted with information regarding the Public Meeting.
