On the agenda

As the city filed it

The City of Toronto has received a request from the restaurant, C'est What, for an outdoor patio space to be located at the property municipally known as 94 The Esplanade. C'est What is located at 67 Front Street East and would like to convert the southern half of the surface parking lot at 94 The Esplanade for a temporary outdoor patio space during the COVID-19 pandemic. The same landowner owns both properties. The temporary use by-law is proposed as a site-specific amendment to the City-wide harmonized Zoning By-law (569-2013) and also to the former City of Toronto By-law (438-86).

The by-law is proposed to expire on May 25, 2021, after the conclusion of next year's Victoria Day long weekend. Further, a provincial Regulation under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (EMCPA) amends S. 39 of the Planning Act by removing notice requirements and appeal rights to temporary use by-laws that authorize outdoor patios associated with eating establishments. The by-law would allow an outdoor patio, with restrictions, to be provided at 94 The Esplanade. Beverage service will be handled on-site and the food will be delivered to the table from the restaurant at 67 Front Street East, which is the building that is immediately adjacent to 94 The Esplanade, east of a public laneway that bisects the two properties.
