Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review
- In January of 2024, the Town of Aurora Council adopted the Town’s Updated Official Plan. It was subsequently approved by the Region of York in May 2024. As per the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, the Town’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law must be updated to conform to the newly adopted and approved Official Plan. The Town is currently working on the Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review to ensure that the Zoning By-law aligns with the Official Plan while also reflecting up-to-date development standards.
- There will be several public consultation activities throughout the course of the project. Please follow along with the project at: https://engageaurora.ca/zoningbylawreview
