And whereas on June 27, 2017, the Council of The Corporation of the Town of Aurora

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” or the “OLT”), 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 or the OLT;

amend the Zoning By-law;
