36 George Henry Boulevard - Request for City Solicitor to Attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body - by Councillor Shelley Carroll, seconded by Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam

The inclusion of a third unit resulted in variance to permit a duplex where it is not permitted by the Zoning By-law. In a report from the Director, Community Planning, North York District dated November 13, 2019, Community Planning Staff identified that the Applicant would be seeking an adjournment to address the duplex variance. The Application was deferred. The Application was revised to, amongst other things, provide for access to the addition above the garage from the main unit, such that it is no longer considered a self-contained dwelling unit. As revised, the Application was approved by the Committee of Adjustment on February 6, 2020. Despite these revisions, there are outstanding concerns that the addition above the garage will be used as a third dwelling unit. This Motion will authorize the City Solicitor to appeal the Application to the Toronto Local Appeal Body, to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body in opposition to the Application, and to secure the necessary authorization and resources to support the City's appeal.

3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to retain outside consultants as necessary. 4. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to negotiate a settlement of the appeal of Application A0648/19NY respecting 36 George Henry Boulevard and City Council authorize the City Solicitor to settle the matter on behalf of the City at the City Solicitor's discretion after consultation with the Ward Councillor and with the Director of Community Planning, North York District.
