a frontage of approximately 108 metres (354 ft.) on Yonge Street and a lot area of 1.01

Official Plan
The subject lands are designated as follows by the Town of Aurora Official Plan:
—1—
GENERAL COMMITTEE — APRIL 19, 2005
19, 2005 -2 - Report No. PL05-035
i) Commercial (Schedule'A')
ii) Private Open Space (Schedule'A')
iii) Community Commercial Centre (Schedule'B')
iv) Flood Prone Area (Schedule'D')
Staff are of the opinion that the subject application conforms to the Official Plan
Zoning By-law
The Town of Aurora Zoning By-law No. 2213-78, as amended, zones the subject lands
as Environmental Protection (EP), and Shopping Centre Commercial (C4-11) Exception
Zone (see Figure 2). Staff are of the opinion that the subject application complies with
the Zoning By-law.
PROPOSAL
The applicant proposes to increase the existing parking supply by twenty (20) spaces,
for a total of 102 stalls, that are to be located on the northern portion of the subject
property within the Environmental Protection (EP) zone (see Figure 3). A
corresponding minor variance application to allow for a parking lot to be considered as
a permitted use within the EP zone was supported by Staff and approved by the
Committee of Adjustment on February 13, 2005, with a condition of approval requiring
that the owner obtain site plan approval (File: D13-47-04). The parking lot expansion
will increase the existing 3,431 m2 (36,935ft2) paved area to 3,842m2 (41,354ft2), a
difference of 411 m2 (4,419ft2).
COMMENTS
Previous Stormwater management issues and concerns expressed by the Lake Simcoe
Region Conservation Authority and the Public Works Department have been addressed
by the applicant. The L.S.R.C.A. and the Public Works Department have no objection
to the application.
The applicant is currently preparing landscape plans for the vicinity around the
proposed works, which will be reviewed by the Leisure Services Department. It is noted
that the two parking stalls closest to Yonge Street may be removed due to maneuvering
concerns and be alternatively landscaped (see Figure 4).
OPTIONS
The site plan application could proceed with a report to Council for approval and
authorization for the Mayor and Clerk to execute the agreements. Alternatively, in
accordance with Council policy, the Director of Planning could be delegated authority to
execute the amending agreement on behalf of the Municipality. Given the Applicant's
—2—
GENERAL COMMITTEE — APRIL 19, 2005
April 19, 2005 -3 - Report No. PL05-035
desire to proceed expeditiously, and that only technical issues remain, Staff are of the
opinion that the subject amending site plan proceed through the delegation process.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Not Applicable.
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. Review of the
subject application through the Site Plan process facilitate this objective.
CONCLUSIONS
The subject application can be dealt with most expeditiously at the Staff level. Accordingly,
it is recommended that the matter be delegated to the Director of Planning to execute a
site plan agreement between 1310984 Ontario Inc. and the Town of Aurora, respecting the
construction of a parking lot.
