1090 Don Mills Road - Designation of Fire Routes and Amendment to Chapter 880 - Fire Routes

Toronto Fire Services uses designated fire routes as a key mechanism in regulating fire prevention, protection from fires by ensuring access for fire service vehicles. In 2014, portions of the private roads on the premises municipally known as 1090 Don Mills Road were designated as a fire route within the meaning of the Fire Route By-law, for the purposes of ensuring fire safety for these premises. Due to proposed modifications of the physical structures located on 1090 Don Mills Road, the fire route previously designated in 2014 with respect to said premises will no longer be an effective fire route for the purposes of fire prevention. As such, the Fire Chief and General Manager, Toronto Fire Services ("Fire Chief") believes this previously-designated fire route should no longer be designated as a fire route for purposes of the City's Fire Route By-law. However, the physical structures on 1090 Don Mills Road, in the opinion of the Fire Chief, still require a designated fire route to assist in regulating fire prevention. The Fire Chief has received new modified site plans reflecting the updated status of 1090 Don Mills Road, and has determined that those parts of the private road or roads shown on modified site plans filed with the Fire Chief in respect of 1090 Don Mills Road establish an effective fire route and as such should be designated as a fire route for purposes of the City's Fire Route By law.

2. North York Community Council authorize the Fire Chief and City Solicitor to take the appropriate action to remove the previous designated Fire Route and to make a new designated Fire Route.
