48 Teddington Park Avenue - Request for City Solicitor to Attend at the Toronto Local Appeal Body - by Councillor Jaye Robinson, seconded by Councillor Mike Colle

In total, the Application seeks eleven variances, which relate to floor space index, platforms on the rear wall, area of platforms, rear yard setback, building length, building depth, side yard setback, projection of eaves project, building height, and height of exterior main wall facing a side lot. In a report from the Director, Community Planning, North York District, dated May 26, 2022, Planning staff opposed all variances. Planning staff opined that the approval of the minor variances would result in development that is not in keeping with the physical character of the neighbourhood. Planning staff also stated that the proposed structure connected to the main dwelling below-grade would result in a built form that is excessive and would not meet the intent of the Zoning By-law regulating the location and scale of structures on a lot. Planning staff stated that the proposed minor variances as a whole would result in a development that does not maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan or Zoning By-law. The Committee of Adjustment refused the variances in its decision dated June 2, 2022 (the "Committee of Adjustment Decision"). A copy of the Committee of Adjustment Decision is attached to this Motion. The Committee of Adjustment Decision was appealed to the Toronto Local Appeal Body by the Owner. This Motion will give the City Solicitor authority to oppose the Application at the Toronto Local Appeal Body. In addition, this Motion will give the City Solicitor authority to attempt to negotiate a settlement of the Appeals.

authorize the City Solicitor to resolve the matter on behalf of the City, in the City Solicitor's discretion, after consulting with the Ward Councillor and with the Director of Community Planning, North York District.
