in Rooming House Area B1, a rooming house is a permitted use provided the building in which it is located has a minimum interior floor area of 7.0 square metres per occupant in each room with two or more occupants; none of the bedrooms at Adam House currently meet that criteria. The Committee of Adjustment application fees are estimated at $9,383.72. Adam House was established in 2002 and provides refugee claimants with clean and safe living accommodations. Adam House also provides assistance and advice to clients with respect to immigration procedures, referrals to legal services, medical assistance, and community resources. Approval of the exemption will help the non-profit organization bring the property to compliance with Zoning By-law 569-2013 and continue to provide crucial housing services to refugee claimants in Toronto.
