In a report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District dated October 3, 2023, Community Planning Staff did not oppose the Application. A copy of the Planning report is attached. The Application presents outstanding concerns relating, but not limited to location, size, consideration as a garden suite, safety, and functionality. This motion authorizes the City Solicitor to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body and oppose the appeal. The scheduling of this hearing is imminent and as such this Motion is urgent. This Motion will also give the City Solicitor authority to negotiate a settlement of the appeal and retain outside consultants as necessary.
