Representation at a Local Planning Appeal Tribunal hearing for 20 Sandringham Drive - by Councillor Mike Colle, seconded by Councillor James Pasternak

The consent application was appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board, which is now known as the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. The consent application is before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal because it was appealed before the Toronto Local Appeal Body started hearing appeals of consent and minor variance applications. The appeal was scheduled to be heard September 19, 2017, but has been adjourned indefinitely and has not been re-scheduled. At its meetings of July 4, 2017 and February 26, 2019, respectively, Council adopted 2017.MM31.38 and 2019.MM3.9, instructing the City Solicitor and appropriate City staff to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal hearing in opposition to the consent appeal, retain outside consultants as necessary, and attempt to negotiate a resolution. Under the provisions of section 115 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006, consent and minor variance appeals that are related to existing appeals before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal will also be directed to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal, rather than the Toronto Local Appeal Body. Since there is an existing consent appeal before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal for this property, this minor variance appeal will also be directed to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. This Motion would authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate City staff to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal hearing of the minor variance appeal, to retain outside consultants as necessary, and to negotiate a resolution in consultation with the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, and the Ward Councillor.

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.
