The decision

2023-06-14 · Toronto City Council · adopted

As filed

City Council on June 14 and 15, 2023, adopted the following: 1. City Council exempt the curb lane café permit area at 892 Queen Street West, Le Swan, from the requirement of Section 10.4. A(4) of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 742, Sidewalk Cafés, Parklets and Marketing Displays.

On the agenda

As the city filed it

Le Swan restaurant, located at 892 Queen Street West, had submitted an application for a curb lane café. Following a feasibility assessment by CaféTO staff it was determined that the café would not meet the 15 metres setback requirement from the Crawford St intersection, as per City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 742, Sidewalk Cafés, Parklets and Marketing Displays. The curb lane café would only be setback 12.9 metres and on this basis the application was refused.

After further discussions with Transportation staff, they examined the corner setback more closely and feel that a reduced intersection setback of 12.9 metres would not compromise safety and would support the applicant's request for curb lane café. This Motion would provide the pathway to exempt Le Swan restaurant from the setback requirement of Municipal Code Chapter 742, Sidewalk Cafes, Parklets and Marketing Displays, and allow them to install a frontage curb lane café. This Motion is urgent as the installation of CaféTO sites are currently taking place.

City Council exempt the curb lane café permit area at 892 Queen Street West, Le Swan, from the requirement of Section 10.4.
