Community Planning staff reviewed the Applications and did not raise an objection. As a result, the City Solicitor will need to retain external planning consultants to provide evidence for the appeal. Copies of the Notices of Decision of the Committee of Adjustment are attached. 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, including providing for the ability for the City Solicitor to settle the matter. This Motion is urgent because the deadline to file a Notice of Intention to be a party in this Toronto Local Appeal Body hearing is April 23, 2019, and the deadline to file document disclosure is May 2, 2019.

3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to attempt to negotiate a resolution of the appeal and, if a resolution is reached to settle the appeal at the City Solicitor's discretion, and in consultation with the Ward Councillor and the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning.
