As the city filed it
This report responds to a complaint filed pursuant to Section 257.85 of the Education Act, 1990, relating to a development project located at 150 Eighth Street in Etobicoke-Lakeshore. The development project is an affordable housing project for 56 units under the City's Open Door Affordable Housing Program. The complainant, the Canadian Helen Keller Centre (the "CHKC"), are of the opinion that they should be exempt from education development charges.

The complainant asserts that education development charges in the amount of $184,408.00 should be refunded as this redevelopment was part of Toronto's Rapid Housing Initiative and the following fees and charges have been waived or exempted: - planning application fees; - building permit fees; - municipal development charges; and - parkland dedication fees. City staff have reviewed the complaint and are of the opinion that the Education Development Charges By-law (the "EDC By-law") was applied properly, and no error was made in the determination of the applicable education development charges. The complainant was eligible to have their municipal development charges waived/exempted, but there is no corresponding exemption provided by the Toronto Catholic District School Board. This report was prepared in consultation with the (Acting) Chief Building Official and Executive Director, Toronto Building, and the City Solicitor.
Staff recommended
