Right I'm just wondering who we think would be the appellant? Can the city appeal itself?

The City cannot appeal a Council decision it approves, no.

That wouldn't make sense.

If there were an appellant it would likely be a neighbour/neighbouring property owner.

There could be any number of theoretical arguments made but the gist would always come down to:

a) Is it somewhat contrary to established policy/precedent.

And

b) It causes me/my property harm in some way.

As I said, I don't think such arguments are likely, but I can envision both 'sincere' use of them by some; and also attempted 'shakedowns' to get something out of dropping an appeal.

For the record, personally I will probably NEVER get-over the Institutional-Insanity of that "HERITAGE" building designation -- the giant step-back from the street that it forced upon this entire site... and the costs, delays and encumbrances that our City Hall's unexplainable "Adoration of 70-year-old Bricks" added to the delivery of this new Indigenous Seniors Affordable Housing project over the last 5 1/2 years.

While I would likely value some heritage preservation more than yourself; we're in complete agreement on this particular building, which insofar as I am concerned isn't a treasure in need of saving, and its preservation here produces, to me, no discernible benefit to anyone, except maybe ERA.
