As the city filed it

On August 22, 2019, the Scarborough Panel of the Committee of Adjustment (the "Committee") refused an application brought by the owner of 939 Warden Avenue for a side-yard setback minor variance of 4.95 metres where the applicable Zoning By-law requires 7.5 metres (the "Application"). The Application proposed to build a one-story addition to the east side of the existing building. On August 28, 2019, the owner appealed the Committee's decision to modify and approve the Application to the Toronto Local Appeal Body.

In a report from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District dated January 25, 2019, Community Planning Staff recommended the Application be deferred from its original hearing date to provide the owner with the opportunity to address the concerns of Transportation staff. A copy of that report is attached. The Application was deferred accordingly and a hearing was ultimately held on August 22, 2019. This Motion will authorize the City Solicitor to oppose the applicant's Toronto Local Appeal Body appeal and to secure the necessary authorization and resources to support the City's opposition to the appeal. The cost of any outside consultants can be accommodated within City Legal's 2019 budget.
