The virtual hearing began on July 14, but the Committee of Adjustment had to cancel and rescheduled all hearings that day due to technical difficulties with the virtual format. A new Public Hearing Notice was issued on July 31, 2020. Several area residents voiced their objection to the Application and submitted comments on record for the Committee of Adjustment hearing. On August 13, 2020 the Committee of Adjustment refused the Application. The Decision is attached to this Motion. On September 2, 2020 the applicant filed to appeal the Decision to the Toronto Local Appeal Body. This Motion will authorize the City Solicitor to oppose the Applicant's Toronto Local Appeal Body appeal. This Motion is urgent as the Committee of Adjustment's decision has been appealed and the City Solicitor requires instructions to attend the hearing.
