Whereas the Municipal Act, 2001, in subsection 11(2) provides that a lower-tier municipality may pass by-laws respecting the health, safety and well-being of persons and the protection of persons and property; and Whereas on April 23, 2012, Aurora Council revoked existing By-law 5221- 10, with the updated 5429-12, to establish new regulations for the 8 registration of second suites with additional clarification from an administrative perspective; and Whereas Section 3, PROHIBITION, restricts residential occupancy per Dwelling to one Unit unless a Two-Unit House has been registered with the Registrar; and Whereas Section 4, REGISTRATION, (b), requires inspection to ensure safety under the Building and Fire Codes, which may be refused; or revoked if the Unit ceases to meet requirements; and Whereas due to lack of supply and the cost of housing there has and will be an increasing need for Two-Unit Homes; and Whereas the number of Units that are not Registered is also increasing due to lack of information or intent; and Whereas it may be impossible for staff to have knowledge and inspect all of these, the Town has a List of Two-Unit Houses that have been reported; and Whereas the ability to inspect these non-conforming homes, as required in the By-law, can be problematic due to lack of entry permission by the tenant or owner who does not reside in the house; and Whereas this can leave tenants living in unsafe conditions for months, in one known case years; 1. Now Therefore Be It

Whereas there have been many issues that have and continue to affect residents in the adjacent neighbourhood; and 9 Whereas the Town will be doing a substantial redevelopment through intensification in existing residential neighbourhoods; and Whereas the Highland Gate development can provide us with valuable information and knowledge on how to improve the quality of life for those experiencing construction disruptions going forward; 1. Now Therefore Be It Hereby Resolved That this Council recommend to the next Council that a task force be formed to review lessons learned from the Highland Gate development.
