As the city filed it

On November 25, 2020, City Council adopted By-law 1063-2020, to temporary modify zoning restrictions affecting outdoor patios respecting 67 Front Street East and 94 The Esplanade. This By-law was later repealed and replaced by By-law 202-2021, for the purposes of extending the temporary permission to April 14, 2022. The restaurant C'est What, located at 67 Front Street East, sought this temporary permission in order to convert the southern half of the surface parking lot at 94 The Esplanade (owned by the same entity as 67 Front Street East) for a temporary outdoor patio space during the COVID-19 pandemic.
