On the agenda

As the city filed it

On September 18, 2019, the Scarborough Panel of the Committee of Adjustment approved a consent application and associated minor variance applications in respect of the property municipally known as 100 Brenda Crescent. These applications are filed as Applications B0023/18SC, A0134/18SC, and A0135/18SC. The applicant sought relief from City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 to allow the subject property to be severed into two lots, each with a frontage of 9.14 metres and an area of 258 square metres.

The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing house and build two new detached houses. A report (September 6, 2019) from City Planning to the Committee of Adjustment to recommend refusal of the consent and variances. The proposed consent does not satisfy the consent criteria under section 51(24) of the Planning Act. The proposed variances do not maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law and are neither desirable nor minor. Copies of the Notice of Decision of the Committee of Adjustment and the staff report are attached. This matter is time sensitive and urgent as the deadline for appealing the decision of the Toronto Local Appeal Body is on October 8, 2019.
