As the city filed it

Over the past decade, the Bayview Village community has seen a significant increase in applications to the Committee of Adjustment. Increasingly, these applications and City Planning's own responses to them have pushed the established precedents for height, permeable surface, and setbacks from sensitive ravines further afield of our zoning bylaw. As the community deals with mounting ravine erosion issues, it's paramount that action be taken to establish guardrails on the types of applications we're facing in the community.

Therefore, I am requesting that North York Community Planning convene community stakeholders, including the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, to establish community standards to guide City Planning in their response to future applications in the neighbourhood in order to address ravine erosion and escalating variance precedents.
