300 Bloor Street West and 478 Huron Street - Request for City Solicitor to Attend at the Toronto Local Appeal Body - by Councillor Dianne Saxe, seconded by Councillor Paula Fletcher

(Application Number A0592/23TEY). In a Staff report dated November 1, 2023, City Planning outlined that it has no objections to the proposed variances, provided that certain conditions are imposed that would be secured through a Section 45(9) Agreement under the Planning Act. This Motion will give the City Solicitor authority to attend the appeal of the Committee of Adjustment's decision at the Toronto Local Appeal Body in support of the appeal, and to request the imposition of the conditions set out in the Planning Report. This Motion is urgent as the City needs instructions for a Toronto Local Appeal Body appearance which can be scheduled at any time.
