REPORTS OF COMMITTEES: (continued)
The Committee is advised that land on which the existing Industrial Parkway is
located has now been deeded to the Town, thereby providing the remaining land
with frontage on a public road.
The Committee notes that Council has passed By-law 2201-78. The By-law has not
yet been approved by the Municipal Board.
Although not a permitted use in an industrial area, the Committee notes the
existing residential use of the subject land legally existed prior to the
Official Plan and the Zoning By-law and will continue. The use is considered by
thevcouncil to be a.legal non-conforming use. The subject land conforms, in any
case, to the requirements of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law with regard

conform to the Zoning By-law if By-law 2201-78 is approved by the Municipal Board.
The Committee is satisfied that conveyance of the subject land will not
adversely affect the established pattern of development in the area and the
shape and dimensions of the resulting lots are adequate and the lots are suitable
for the intended purposes. The Committee is further satisfied the conveyance
will not be detrimental to the public interest. In the opinion of the Committee,
a plan of subdivision approved under section 33 of The Planning Act is not
necessary to ensure the proper and orderly development of the Municipality.

Granted to· Application Number A.78.23, upon fulfillment of the following conditions:
1. Payment of all taxes, to date, to the Town of Aurora;
