Origin
Summary
On January 30, 2019, the Committee of Adjustment (the "Committee") approved the consent application and its associated minor variance applications regarding the property municipally known as 1972 Brimley Road (the "subject Property"). The applicant sought relief from the City of Toronto Zoning By-law No. 569-2013 to permit the lot to be severed into two new lots each with a frontage of 11.61 metres and an area of 562.62 square metres. The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing house and build two new detached houses.
City Planning staff submitted a report to the Committee of Adjustment to recommend refusal of the consent and variances dated January 30, 2019. The proposed variances are not in keeping with the policies of the Official plan and do not maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Copies of the Notice of Decision and the Staff Report are attached.
This matter is time sensitive and urgent as the deadline for appealing the decision of the Toronto Local Appeal Body is on February 25, 2019.
