The applicant appealed the Committee of Adjustment's refusal of variances required to build a new three-storey house on a newly severed laneway lot.
The key variance sought was an increase in Floor Space Index from the permitted 1.0 to 1.87.
The Toronto Local Appeal Body dismissed the appeal, finding that the proposed density and massing did not respect and reinforce the prevailing physical character of the neighbourhood, failed to meet the Official Plan's material consistency test, and did not maintain the intent of the Zoning By-law regarding laneway housing.
