Planning staff recommended that the Committee of Adjustment refuse the parking pad variances of the Application. On November 13, 2019, the Toronto and East York District Panel of the Committee of Adjustment refused the parking pad variances of the Application but approved the rear deck variance. On November 26, 2019, the owner of 32 Triller Avenue appealed the decision to the Toronto Local Appeal Body. The Appeal, which will be considered by the Toronto Local Appeal Body, seeks variances to the City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 to permit a front yard parking pad. The size of the front parking pad is deficient, and contravenes the Zoning By-law as well as Chapter 918 of the City of Toronto Municipal Code. City Planning and Transportation Services Staff provided comments to the Committee of Adjustment recommending refusal of the requested variances relating to the proposed front yard parking pad. Staff have concerns with the variances for the parking space located in the front yard is contrary to the intent of the Zoning By-law as well as the existing character of the area. The Application and related variances do not meet requisite tests for approval and therefore the decision should be upheld.
