1957 - 1961 Kennedy Road - Appeal to the Toronto Local Appeal Body of Committee of Adjustment Decision - by Councillor Michael Thompson, seconded by Councillor Jennifer McKelvie

One variance was sought for the number of parking spaces, and two were sought for relief from gross floor area restrictions. In an email from Transportation Services on December 3, 2019 (Attachment 1), the City indicated that a parking study would be required in order to justify the variance to the parking requirement. No parking study was provided by the applicant to the Committee in advance of the hearing. The Committee approved the Application on February 13, 2020 (Attachment 2). The last day to appeal the Committee's Decision is March 4, 2020. This Motion will confirm and authorize the City Solicitor's appeal of the Committee's Decision to the Toronto Local Appeal Body.
