Subject:Delegation of Consent Approval Authority

to the Committee of Adjustment (Scarborough)

Recommendation:

The Scarborough Community Council recommends the status quo in regard to Consent approvals, i.e., that the Director of Community Planning, East District, retain approval authority, until Council has dealt with the "New Practices" report.

Background:

The Scarborough Community Council, at its meeting on April 28, 1999, had before it a communication (April 9, 1999) from the City Clerk, referring a report (March 8, 1999) from the Commissioner of Urban Planning and Development Services, respecting the delegation of Consent approval authority under Section 54 of The Planning Act to the Committee of Adjustment (Scarborough) in order to achieve harmonization of this practice City-wide, with the request that the Community Council comment thereon and report back to the Urban Environment and Development Committee.

City Clerk.
