Being a By-law to amend By-law Number 6000-17, as amended,
respecting the lands municipally known as 240 Industrial Parkway South
(File No. ZBA-2024-06).
Whereas under section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13, as amended (the
“Planning Act”), zoning by-laws may be passed by the councils of local municipalities to
prohibit and regulate the use of land, buildings and structures;
And whereas on June 27, 2017, the Council of The Corporation of the Town of Aurora (the
“Town”) enacted By-law Number 6000-17 (the “Zoning By-law”), which Zoning By-law was
appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board (the “OMB”);
And whereas on January 29, 2018, the OMB made an order, in accordance with
subsection 34(31) of the Planning Act, providing that any part of the Zoning By-law not
in issue in the appeal shall be deemed to have come into force on the day the Zoning
By-law was passed;
And whereas the OMB and the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the “LPAT”) is continued
under the name Ontario Land Tribunal (the “Tribunal”), and any reference to the Ontario
Municipal Board or OMB or Local Planning Appeal Tribunal or LPAT is deemed to be a
reference to the Tribunal;
And whereas the Council of the Town deems it necessary and expedient to further amend
the Zoning By-law;
Now therefore the Council of The Corporation of the Town of Aurora hereby enacts as
follows:
