Dear Mr. Doersam,

I have attached a letter requesting modifications to the York Region OP. Orfus Realty is requesting the redesignation of the lands at 13516 Bathurst Street to permit residential development along the east edge of the Subject Lands and a large public park and open space area in the remainder of the lands, based on reasons identified within the letter. The Subject Lands are within the ORM boundary, however, were subject to applications and appeals prior to the implementation of the ORMCP and are therefore subject to the transition policies of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act, 2001.

The request for modifications to the Region of York Official Plan are as follows:
- Amend Map 1 to redesignate a portion of the Subject Lands to Urban Area;
- Amend Map 1A to redesignate portions of the Subject Lands to Community Area and Rural Area;
- Amend Map 1B to redesignate a portion of the Subject Lands to Designated Greenfield Areas;
- Amend Map 1C to redesignate a portion of the Subject Lands to Settlement Area;
- Amend Map 2 to redesignate a portion of the Subject Lands to Urban Area; and,
- Amend the remainder of the maps to reflect the changes made in previous maps.

Should these changes be made, an amendment would be required to modify the O. Reg 140/02 overlay to include a portion of the Subject Lands as well as to Schedule 2 of the Growth Plan to reflect the above changes.
