In June 2018, City Council directed the General Manager, Parks Forestry and Recreation to refuse permits to injure or remove healthy trees associated with laneway suites. This direction provides Urban Forestry the authority to protect trees without requiring an amendment to the tree protection by-law. As directed by City Council, and in consultation with City Planning, Urban Forestry will continue to advise applicants to meet with City Planning and Urban Forestry staff to consider how laneway suite designs can be amended to protect trees. Urban Forestry will work with City Planning to monitor laneway suite applications over the next two years or 100 applications, and review and recommend any necessary revisions to the policy, zoning and guidelines, and/or other changes to improve implementation. The General Manager, Parks Forestry and Recreation recommends that no changes to Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 813 be made at this time.
