Noise Exemption Permit Refusal Appeal - 55 Charles Street East

The noise exemption permit was requested to expedite the overall completion of construction activity and mitigate the long term exposure of construction noise to the neighbouring community. The noise permit is specifically requested to remove the restriction of bylaw § 591-2.3.(1), which restricts noise between 7am and 9am on Saturdays only. The application was refused by Municipal Licensing and Standards (ML&S) on the basis of the Ward Councillor's objection. The applicant has appealed the refusal. As required for the appeal process, this staff report provides information to assist in the decision making for which Toronto and East York Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision, namely a final decision under Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 591, Noise (Noise By-law) to either grant or refuse a noise exemption permit application given the appeal. If the Community Council grants the noise exemption permit application, it is subject to the conditions set out in § 591-3.2.D of the Noise By-law, unless the Community Council determines otherwise, and to any other conditions respecting health, safety and nuisance as the Community Council considers advisable.
