The applicant appealed the Committee of Adjustment's refusal to grant a consent to sever a property into two lots and associated minor variances for lot frontage, area, coverage, height, and side yard setbacks.

The City opposed the appeal, arguing the reduced lot frontage and side yard setbacks did not respect and reinforce the physical character of the neighbourhood.

The Toronto Local Appeal Body preferred the applicant's planning evidence, finding that the proposed lot frontage would fit within the existing mixture of frontages on the street and that the revised side yard setbacks would have no negative impact.

The appeal was allowed, and the consent and variances were granted subject to conditions.
