June 29, 1999

To:Chairman and Members of the Committee of Adjustment

From:Ted Tyndorf

Director of Community Planning, East District

Subject:Request for Direction

Minor Variance A323/97

Scarborough Wexford

Purpose:

This report seeks direction from Council as to the City Solicitor's role at a pending Ontario Municipal Board hearing, as further detailed below.

Recommendation:

It is recommended that City Council direct the City Solicitor to attend any Ontario Municipal Board hearing with respect to Minor Variance Application A323/97.

Comments:

Minor Variance Application A323/97

1149790 Ontario Limited

47 Crockford Boulevard

Part of Lot 21, Registered Plan 4297

Wexford Employment District

Scarborough Wexford

The Committee of Adjustment on May 25, 1999, requested a Minor Variance to permit the 557.4 square metres (6,000 square feet) of the existing building to be used a vehicle repair garage use for servicing of dealer's vehicles only, whereas the Zoning By-law permits "General Industrial Uses" (MG) and does not include vehicle repair garages as a permitted use. (As detailed in the attached decision). The Minor Variance decision was appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board by the owner. A hearing date on this matter has not been scheduled at this time by the Board. The requested variance would be inconsistent with the Official Plan designation and policies applying to the properties and involved land use which Council had dealt with in great detail.

Consistent with previous staff recommendations on appeals of minor variance decisions for vehicle repair garages in Employment Districts, staff recommend that the City Solicitor support the Committee's decisions at the Ontario Municipal.

Conclusion:

The City Solicitor should be directed to attend any Ontario Municipal Board Hearings with respect to Minor Variance Application A323/97.
