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 557.4square 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
Board.
Conclusion:
The City Solicitor should be directed to attend any Ontario Municipal Board Hearings with respect to Minor Variance
Application A323/97.
