On October 4, 2023, the Committee of Adjustment (the “Committee”) refused an application brought by the owner of 169 Parkmount Road for a variance to the provisions of the City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 to construct a two-story garden suite with integral garage in the rear yard (the “Application”). A copy of the Committee's decision is attached. On October 23, 2023, the owner appealed the Committee's decision to refuse the Application to the Toronto Local Appeal Body. In a report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District dated October 3, 2023, Community Planning Staff did not oppose the Application. A copy of the Planning report is attached. The Application presents outstanding concerns relating, but not limited to location, size, consideration as a garden suite, safety, and functionality. This motion authorizes the City Solicitor to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body and oppose the appeal. The scheduling of this hearing is imminent and as such this Motion is urgent. This Motion will also give the City Solicitor authority to negotiate a settlement of the appeal and retain outside consultants as necessary. Reason for Urgency: The Toronto Local Appeal Body Appeal came after the Notice of Motion Deadline and a hearing may be scheduled at any time.
