On the agenda

As the city filed it

City Planning has received a request for a temporary use zoning by-law for an outdoor patio with a live performance stage on the surface parking lot located at 401 Logan Avenue in association with the Crow's Theatre Bar/Lounge located at 345 Carlaw Avenue. Crow's Theatre is located within the Streetcar Crowsnest development, on the east side of Carlaw Avenue, north of Dundas Street East. The proposed outdoor patio is on private property.

The site is not part of the CaféTO program. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Crow's Theatre has remained closed due to the limitations on indoor public gatherings. The theatre has suspended all scheduled performances and cancelled productions for 2020/2021. The proposed by-law complements the existing CaféTO program by providing an opportunity for an outdoor patio on site associated with Crow's Theatre Lobby Bar. The by-law aligns with the CaféTO expiration date of April 14, 2022. This temporary use by-law will provide an opportunity for Crow's Theatre Lobby Bar to expand its patio operation and to support this business' ability to continue operations while meeting requirements related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This Motion is urgent as the Crow's Theatre has been closed due to limits on indoor public gatherings so the proposed outdoor patio would provide an opportunity to improve customer relations and financial viability.
