Directed the Director, North York Community Planning, to convene local stakeholders in the Bayview Village community and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, to establish and clarify Committee of Adjustment community standards to address ravine erosion and escalating variance precedents.

On the agenda

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.
