5 regarding the building length under Zoning By-law Number 569-2013 and Variance Number 6 regarding the building depth under Zoning By-law Number 569-2013. City Planning Staff also recommended that should the Committee choose to approve this application, that the following variance should be modified: Modify Variance Number 8 regarding the floor space index under Zoning By-law Number 569-2013 from 0.6257 to 0.58 times the lost area or less. A copy of the City Planning Staff report is attached. This Motion will instruct the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to attend at the hearing at the Toronto Local Appeal Body to oppose the application.
