Comments:
Front yard parking is governed by the criteria set out in the former City
of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 400, Traffic and Parking. The current
criteria of the Code stipulates the physical criteria that must be met in
order for the property to be eligible and requires that a formal poll be
conducted to determine whether there is sufficient neighbourhood
support for the application, and that such poll has a favourable result.
Ms. Nella Fiorino, owner of 43 Nanton Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M4W

The application met the physical requirements of the Municipal Code,
and a formal poll was conducted.
