245-255 Sheppard Avenue West and 250-258 Bogert Avenue - Appeal of Local Planning Appeal Tribunal Decision - by Councillor John Filion, seconded by Councillor Gord Perks

City staff wrote a report to North York Community Council, from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, dated January 4, 2017 recommending refusal of the applications. On January 31, 2017 City Council refused the Zoning By-law Amendment and Official Plan Amendment applications for the subject site. The Applicant subsequently appealed City Council's refusal to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the "LPAT"). A hearing was commenced on August 21, 2018 and subsequently concluded shortly thereafter. On February 13, 2019, the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal issued a decision approving the Zoning By-law Amendment and Official Plan Amendment Applications made pursuant to section 22(7) and 34(11) of the Planning Act. The City Solicitor requires direction on a potential appeal and/or review of the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal's Decision. This Motion is urgent due to statutory deadlines for bringing a potential appeal and/or review of the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal's Decision.

3. If adopted, City Council direct that the balance of Confidential Attachment 1 to the Report (February 26, 2019) from the City Solicitor remain confidential as it contains advice which is subject to solicitor-client privilege.
