The Application proposed to demolish the existing two-storey single detached dwelling to construct a new two-storey single detached dwelling. In a report (April 30, 2019) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District, Community Planning Staff recommended the density variance of the Application be reduced to 0.7 or under. A copy of the Planning report is attached. Community Planning Staff opined that a reduced density would be more in line with the intent of the Zoning By-law and Official Plan. The applicant has appealed the Committee of Adjustment's decision to the Toronto Local Appeal Body. This Motion will authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate City Staff to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body in order to oppose the appeal. This Motion will give the City Solicitor the authority to negotiate a settlement of the appeal. This matter is time sensitive and urgent as the Committee of Adjustment's decision has been appealed and the City Solicitor requires instructions to attend the hearing.
