120 Glenlake Avenue - Request for City Solicitor to Attend at the Toronto Local Appeal Body - by Councillor Gord Perks, seconded by Councillor Ausma Malik

A copy of the Planning report is attached. Planning Staff opined that the Application does not satisfy the statutory test for Minor Variances under Section 45 of the Planning Act. Planning Staff also opined that the requested variances are not in keeping with prevailing characteristics in the established neighbourhood and will result in the reduction of on-street parking. In a report from the Manager, Permits and Enforcement-Parking and Administration, Transportation Services, dated November 2, 2022, Transportation Services opposed the Application. A copy of the Transportation Services report is attached. Transportation Services staff stated that the proposed parking space is located partially within the City's boulevard, which is regulated by Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 918 (the "Municipal Code"). Under Chapter 918 of the Municipal Code, the application would not qualify for front yard parking. On November 28, 2022, the owner appealed the Committee's decision to refuse the Application to the Toronto Local Appeal Body. This Motion is urgent as the Toronto Local Appeal Body will issue a notice of hearing imminently.

2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to negotiate a resolution of the appeal of the decision in Application A0955/22TEY respecting 120 Glenlake Avenue, and City Council authorize the City Solicitor to settle the matter on behalf of the City at the city Solicitor's discretion after consultation with the Ward Councillor, the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District and the General Manager, Transportation Services.
