On the agenda

As the city filed it

The Applicant, on behalf of Bluebird Ingram Storage Corp., applied to the Etobicoke York Panel of the Committee of Adjustment for minor variances respecting the site at 7-15 Ingram Drive. The Application (A0275/19EYK) sought permission to permit a self-storage warehouse on the site. On June 13, 2019, Community Planning for the Etobicoke York District wrote a report to the Committee of Adjustment recommending that, should the Committee of Adjustment approve the Application, the Committee of Adjustment impose a condition that the self-storage warehouse be constructed in accordance with the Site Plan submitted to the Committee of Adjustment, and that any other variances appearing on the plans but not listed in the written decision are not authorized.

On June 20, 2019, the Committee of Adjustment approved the Application with the Condition. The decision is attached to this Motion. The Applicant, who was seeking approval without a condition, has appealed the decision to the Toronto Local Appeal Body. It is important that the Condition of approval be applied to ensure that Community Planning has the opportunity to review any future expansion plans. 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. This Motion is urgent as the Committee of Adjustment's decision has been appealed and the City Solicitor requires instructions to attend the hearing.
