THAT the Taxicab Licensing By-law be amended to reflect the new rates. BACKGROUND A request has recently been submitted by Today's Taxi, which operates the largest taxi company in Town, for an increase in the taxicab meter rate (Appendix # 2). The basis for the proposed adjustment is related to the increased costs of operations namely, the cost of gasoline, mechanical repairs and insurance over the past two years. The previous adjustment in the taxi tariff rate occurred 5 years ago in 1999. COMMENTS The current taxicab meter rate is $2.20 to start for the first 300 metres, with an adjustment of .20 cents for each 160 metres thereafter. The new meter rate that is proposed would increase the start rate to $2.75 to start for the first 200 metres and .28 cents for the next 200 metres. This adjustment reflects a 14.0% increase in the taxicab meter rate that would be applied for all taxicabs licensed by the Town of Aurora. Licensing staff has conducted an analysis of taxicab rates that are currently charged in other municipalities throughout York Region, some of which are also contemplating a rate adjustment. The following is a chart summarizes these rates. -1- GENERAL COMMITTEE — SEPTEMBER 21, 2004 September 21, 2004 - 2 - Report No. CSO4-029 h ? { s Mumcipalrfy -y aSp x r % !

In addition local taxi companies also operate dispatches in adjacent municipalities like Newmarket. Providing a consistent rate ensures that taxi operators charge the same rate to all customers. —2— GENERAL COMMITTEE - SEPTEMBER 21, 2004 September 21, 2004 - 3 - Report No. CS04-029 The proposed increase mirrors the adjustment thatwas recently approved by Whitchurch- Stouffville in June of this year. Staff have also contacted the other surrounding municipalities (Newmarket, East Gwillimbury and Georgina), who are considering a similar increase, except for King Township which does not license taxicabs. This will ensure that taxicab trips in this part of the Region costs the same for residents regardless of where they take a trip. The summary table also reflects marginally higher meter rates in the southern three municipalities. This difference is attributed to a number of factors including competition with the City of Toronto rates, as well as a different business dynamic that includes higher plate values, insurance costs and mandatory security features such as GPS devices and cameras that will be required in all taxicabs in Vaughan and Markham in the next two years. As part of the review of the taxicab meter rate increase, the members of the taxicab industry were notified and consulted on the proposed increase and their comments were invited. Based on the verbal comments received, the industry is supportive of the increase. In addition to the comments solicited from the industry, staff also posted a notice in the newspaper inviting input from residents on the proposed increase. This notice also included the date and time that this report would be considered by Council should they wish to attend. A copy of the notice is attached as Appendix #3. Staff did not receive any response from residents to the proposed increase. OPTIONS Staff may decide to approve the proposed increase, vary the proposed increase or leave the taxicab meter rate at its current level. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The proposed increase will not have any direct financial impact on the Town as the benefit gained would go directly to the taxicab industry.

Starting rates should be increased to $2.50, with an increase of .25 cents for each additional 160 meters; waiting time while under engagement should be increased to $24.00/hour and everything else shall remain the same. Attached is a list of drivers who have requested a rate increase.

BACKGROUND As illustrated on the attached Figure 1, the subject lands are located just east of Yonge Street, on the north side of Industrial Parkway South and are known municipally as 520 Industrial Parkway South. At the Public Planning Meeting of May 26, 2004, Council passed the following resolution: THAT staff be directed to bring forward to Council an Official Plan Amendment containing the condition that prior to the approval of an implementing Zoning By-law Amendment for the lands, the Owner shall demonstrate compliance with the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP) and OPA No. 48 and that Staff be authorized to bring forward a Zoning By-law Amendment at such time as compliance has been demonstrated and the processing of a site plan application has reached a satisfactory stage, as determined by Staff. Official Plan Amendment No. 53 was therefore adopted by Council on June 15, 2004 and came into force on August 10, 2004. PROPOSAL Zoning By-law Amendment The applicant is proposing to amend the Zoning By-law from "Rural (RU-ORM) Zone" to —10— GENERAL COMMITTEE — SEPTEMBER 21, 2004 September 21, 2004 -2- Report No. PL04-104 "Special Commercial Exception (C10-1) Zone" and "Office Commercial (H)C6-5 Holding Exception Zone." This will permit the use of the lands for a funeral home and for business and professional offices and clinics with accessory laboratory and dispensary uses. Site Plan As illustrated on Figure 2, the development of the site will occur in two phases. Phase 1 would permit the construction of the proposed funeral home and is the subject of this site plan application. Phase 2 would permit the construction of the proposed business and professional offices through a future site plan application. The proposed site plan illustrates Phase 2 at a conceptual level, however this report will describe the subject application, which is Phase 1. The applicant has advised that they have submitted an application for Consent to the Committee of Adjustment, which would divide the subject lands into two parcels (Parcel A - Phase 1 and Parcel B - Phase 2). Access to the site is proposed via a two-way access off of Industrial Parkway South. The funeral home is proposed toward the front portion of the property; as there is a requirement from Go Transit to maintain a 30 metre set back to the rail tracks, which are adjacent to the rear yard. The funeral parlour appears to be a typical design with a covered front entrance, rear garage, covered driveway on the east side and patio on the west. Furthermore, 55 parking spaces have been provided in the rear and eastern side yard, including 2 barrier free spaces located closest to the front. Finally, the existing stone abutment located toward the northeast portion of the lands will be maintained. The stone abutment referred to above is the last remaining overpass pillar of the old Yonge Street Radial Railway that operated along Yonge Street until the 1930s. The Radial Railway was one of numerous electric railway lines that "radiated" from the City of Toronto. This particular line linked Lake Simcoe and towns to the south to the City of Toronto. The stone abutment is the last large remaining artefact of the radial railway in Aurora and the Town's Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC) is interested in ensuring that the historical monument is preserved. To this end, LACAC has approached the Owner to designate the pillar as a historical monument. A clause to that effect will therefore be included in the site plan agreement. Landscape Plan As illustrated on Figure 3, the existing hedgerow located along the north and west property lines will be maintained. Likewise, several existing trees will be maintained, particularly toward the southwest portion of the site. The proposed funeral home will be largely surrounded by sod and trees towards the front, rear and west sides and new deciduous trees are proposed in the landscape strip along the eastern property boundary. Furthermore, landscaping is proposed in front of the funeral home, surrounding the front entrance. Building Elevations As illustrated on Figure 4, the proposed elevations appear to be of typical design for a —11— GENERAL COMMITTEE — SEPTEMBER 21, 2004 September 21, 2004 - 3 - Report No. PL04-104 funeral home. It will be clad of a stucco finish with a sloped shingled roof. Furthermore, masonry piers are also proposed for the covered driveway and front entrance. COMMENTS In order to demonstrate compliance with the ORMCP, the applicant had to demonstrate compliance with the Stormwater Management policies of OPA No. 48. The site plan application was reviewed by the Town's Public Works Department who have concluded that these policies have been complied with. Furthermore, the applicant has submitted a revised site plan submission in responded to the first submission comments. In accordance with Council procedure therefore, an Implementing Zoning By-law has been drafted and is attached to this report for review. Subject to any concerns being raised, Staff are recommending that Council enact Implementing Zoning By-law4594-04.D attheir next meeting. It should be noted that an "(H)" Holding prefix will be placed on the zone pertaining to the Phase 2 development, as a site plan for Phase 2 has not been submitted at this time. OPTIONS Council has the option of scheduling the Implementing Zoning By-lawfor enactment at their next meeting and authorizing the Director of Planning to execute the site plan agreement, subject to a successful submission and receiving the fees and securities. Council also has the option of directing Staff to make any changes to the by-law they feel are necessary and they have the option of approving the site plan themselves. Given the applicant's desire to proceed expeditiously, it is recommended that the signing authority be delegated to the Director of Planning. CONCLUSIONS The applicant has demonstrated compliance with the ORMCP and OPA No. 48 and is proceeding through the site plan process. Accordingly, Staff are recommending that Implementing Zoning By-law 4594-04.D be enacted at the next Council meeting and that Council authorize the Director of Planning to enter into a site plan agreement between Trusthouse 88 Inc. and the Town of Aurora respecting the construction of a funeral home. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS If approved, the proposed development would increase the property value of the subject lands and thus provide for increased tax benefits to the Town. LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN The Strategic Plan contains objectives to ensure high quality, comprehensive community planning to protect the overall investment of citizens in the community. Critical review of the subject applications through the zoning by-law amendment and site plan processes —12— GENERAL COMMITTEE - SEPTEMBER 21, 2004 September 21, 2004 - 4 - Report No. PL04-104 facilitates this objective.

BACKGROUND Location/Land Use As illustrated on Figure 1, the lands subject to site plan approval are located on the south side of Golf Links Drive, west of Yonge Street, and east of Tan.nev Creek. The site has a frontage of 89 metres (292 ft.) and a lot area of 3082m2 (33175ft ). The Highland Green Golf Club consists of an extensively large land holding of approximately 104 acres, which includes the entire golf course lands between the area just west of Yonge Street to Bathurst Street. The lands are generally described as Concession 1 (W.Y.S), Pt. Lot 78, Pt. Block 60, Plan M2034. Surrounding Uses To the North: Golf Links Drive and Highland Green condominium building; East: Sunrise seniors building (under construction) South: Golf course and single detached dwellings; and West: Golf course and single detached dwellings. Official Plan The subject lands are designated Private Open Space and Flood Prone Area, bythe Town of Aurora Official Plan. Uses permitted within the above designations include passive and active outdoor recreation, parks, walking and bicycle paths, etc., which are developed in a -22- GENERAL COMMITTEE — SEPTEMBER 21, 2004 September 21, 2004 - 2 - Report No. PL04-105- manner that preserves the natural landscape and/or the environment. Structures that are accessory to permitted uses within the Private Open Space designation, such as a golf course clubhouse, are permitted. The proposed clubhouse is to be located on lands above the regional flood line and as such the developed area will have a negligible impact on the flood prone area. The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority has been circulated the Stormwater Management Report as well as other applicable documentation submitted by the applicant. The Conservation Authority advises it has reviewed the information and has no objection to the approval of the subject site plan. The final plan will include all requirements of the L.S.R.C.A. Zoning By-law The subject lands are zoned as Major Open Space by the Town of Aurora Zoning By-law 2213-78, as amended. Permitted uses of the Major Open Space zone include golf courses. Section 6.26.1.20 of the Zoning By-law requires a minimum of 24 parking spaces per 9 holes, which equates to a requirement of 48 parking spaces, plus an additional 27 for public use and buildings totalling 75 required spaces on the subject lands. A total of 105 parking spaces are currently provided on the north side of Golf Links Drive in conjunction with the golf course lands. The Building Department advises that the parking as currently provided is in conformity with the By-law, and has provided comment requesting that a restriction be registered on title that neither the golf course property nor the parking lands within the Highland Green Condominium property be sold independently of each other. Staff will review this matter with the legal department and the applicant. The proposed development conforms to all By-law requirements. As illustrated on Figures 4 and 7 of this report, the applicant is proposing to construct a 208.5m2 �2245ft2) footprint clubhouse with a finished basement for a total square footage of 4490ft . The clubhouse, located adjacent to the 18th hole, would have a 6 metre wide vehicle driveway to be used as a "drop off driveway" via a proposed one-way ingress and egress to and from Golf Links Drive. As such no vehicular parking will occur on the subject site. The access point has been located directly opposite the entrance to the Highland Green Condominium parking lot, which also services the golf course. Golf carts are to be parked on the west side of the building and will only be driven within an existing tunnel, under Golf Links Drive, to the 1st hole. Note: Golf carts will only be able to access the parking lot via the existing tunnel under Golf Links Drive. Restrictions such as raised curb heights, bollards, and signage will prevent carts from accessing directly onto the street. The subject land is to be landscaped with deciduous and coniferous tress, shrubs, and —23— GENERAL COMMITTEE — SEPTEMBER 21, 2004 September 21, 2004 - 3 - Report No. PL04-105- perennials. A number of mature deciduous tree currently exist on the site and Staff and the applicant's landscape consultant have identified the trees to be preserved and the methods of preservation. The applicant's site design plans take this situation into account and the plans show the development areas which preserve these trees wherever possible. Landscape Plans L1 and L2 identify the trees to be preserved. The provisions to be included in the site plan agreement will ensure tree preservation and will require that the owner retain an arborist to oversee landscape works on site. It is noted that some of the mature trees which are visible from the street frontage and lend character to the street will be removed. To compensate for the loss of these trees additional large calliper tree plantings are to be located elsewhere on the site and along the property lines to lessen the impact from neighbouring properties. A high concentration of coniferous trees are proposed to be planted along the eastern lot line to act as a buffer between the subject land and Sunrise Retirement Home, which will compliment the interface between the two uses. The strip of land adjacent to Golf Links Drive is proposed to be revegetated with deciduous trees and sod, and pedestrian paths are proposed from the street and around the clubhouse. The Leisure Department have reviewed the landscape plans and are satisfied that they comply with the landscape standards of the Town of Aurora and provides appropriate buffering to adjacent land uses. The building elevations have been designed in a manner which is consistent with the size and scale residential character of the area. It is noted that the applicant has met with a number of ratepayers in the area in an effort to respond to their concerns. The majority of the issues are not related to the subject site plan and staff are of the opinion that the development design satisfactorily addresses neighbourhood impacts. Given the above, Panning Staff are of the opinion that the proposed development plans meet all municipal development standards and can proceed to Site Plan Agreement. OPTIONS The site plan application could proceed with a report to Council for approval and authorization for the Mayor and Clerk to execute the agreement. Alternatively, in accordance with Council policy, the Director of Planning could be delegated authority to execute the agreement on behalf of the municipality. Given relative size and scale of the proposed development the applicant's desire to proceed expeditiously and Staff are able to deal with the site plan agreement through the delegation process, provided that Council is satisfied with the application. CONCLUSIONS The subject application can be dealt with most expeditiously at the Staff level. Accordingly, Staff recommend that the matter be delegated to the Director of Planning to execute a site plan agreement between Clublink Capital Corporation and the Town of Aurora, respecting the construction of a clubhouse. —24— GENERAL COMMITTEE — SEPTEMBER 21, 2004 September 21, 2004 - 4 - Report No. PL04-105- FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The application provides for additional revenue through increased property assessment. LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN The Strategic Plan contains objectives to ensure high quality, comprehensive community planning to protect the overall investment of citizens in the community. Critical review of the subject application through the site plan control process facilitates this objective. The Strategic Plan has goals of well -planned growth and fiscal responsibility, efforts to balance these goals are supporting a healthy business environment that attracts new businesses and is responsive to the needs of our current business community.
