On the agenda

As the city filed it

City Planning staff have received a request from the High Park Club located at 100 Indian Road on the west side of Indian Road, east of Parkside Drive and north of The Queensway, to temporarily expand their outdoor patio space. The proposed outdoor patio space is to occupy a portion of the north parking lot, and the existing rear second storey balcony of the existing building. Both locations are entirely within private property, and are not subject to the CaféTO program.

The site has an existing licensed outdoor patio space on the rear covered ground floor verandah and it is the club's intention to expand the licence to the proposed outdoor patio space. The High Park Club functions as recreational curling, lawn tennis and occasional banquet hall, and provides a local attraction which offers food and beverage services. The food and beverage service meets the definition of a restaurant or bar as set out in Ontario Regulation 345/20, to which the patio is an accessory. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Club has suffered closures due to the limitations on indoor public gatherings. The proposed outdoor patio space would provide an opportunity for the High Park Club to operate by shifting their capacity from indoor space to outdoor patios, as they adjust to physical distancing and indoor gathering requirements related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Staff are of the opinion that adding a temporary Site-specific relief for additional outdoor patio space is supportable and does not cause undue impacts on the surrounding residential neighbourhood. The proposed temporary use supports an important economic sector, on a temporary basis, and complements the CaféTO program, by providing an opportunity to create additional temporary outdoor patio space on site.
