29 De Marco Boulevard - Request for City Solicitor to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body - by Councillor Frances Nunziata, seconded by Councillor Vincent Crisanti

On May 17, 2023, the owner, through its agent, appealed the Committee's decisions to refuse the Applications to the Toronto Local Appeal Body. In a report from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District dated April 19, 2023, Community Planning Staff recommended refusal of the Applications. More specifically, Community Planning Staff opined that the Applications would result in the creation of lots and dwellings that are out of character with the established neighbourhood, and that the proposed severance and variances are not in keeping with the intent of the Official Plan, nor in keeping with the intent of the Zoning By-law, and that the variances are not minor in nature. A copy of the Planning report is attached as Attachment 2. This Motion will authorize the City Solicitor, along with appropriate City Staff, to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body and oppose the appeal. A hearing date has yet to be scheduled.

for 29 De Marco Boulevard, and City Council authorize the City Solicitor to resolve the matter on behalf of the City, in the City Solicitor's discretion, after consulting with the Ward Councillor and the Director of Community Planning, Etobicoke York District.
