As the city filed it

This Motion will give the City Solicitor authority, along with appropriate City Staff, to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body in order to support the Committee of Adjustment's decision refusing the minor variance application regarding 47 White Abbey Park (Application A0011/20SC). The Application sought to legalize an as-built driveway that is wider than the maximum permitted driveway width of 4.16 metres, as prescribed in the City's Zoning By-law 569-2013.

Planning staff raised concerns with respect to the Application because the proposed driveway does not meet the purpose and intent of applicable Official Plan policies and Zoning By-law regulations regarding neighbourhood character and driveway standards, among other concerns. On June 1, 2020, the Committee of Adjustment refused the Application. The owners of 47 White Abbey Park appealed the Decision to the Toronto Local Appeal Body, as filed by their agent/representative. The Appeal, which will be considered by the Toronto Local Appeal Body, seeks approval of the Application. At this time, a Toronto Local Appeal Body hearing date is yet to be scheduled for this Appeal.
