As the city filed it

On June 26 and 27, 2024, City Council adopted recommendations to allow a seasonal patio at 460 Adelaide Street East ( 2024.MM19.16 ), for a temporary period ending October 15, 2025. At that time, City Planning staff had advised that a seasonal outdoor patio on a portion of the Privately Owned Publicly-Accessible Space (POPS) is supported by Official Plan Policy 3.1.1.20(a), which states that POPS may include temporary commercial uses which animate the space.

The temporary permission to operate the POPS allowed the City to assess the potential impacts of the patio, with the stipulation that an extension of the timeframe for which the seasonal outdoor patio use is permitted may be considered. To date there have been no observed negative impacts of this seasonal outdoor patio. The purpose of this motion is to permit the owner or tenant of an at grade and adjacent retail unit in Toronto Standard Condominium Corporation 2756 to continue operating a seasonal outdoor patio on a portion of the POPS at 424-460 Adelaide Street East on a temporary basis until October 15, 2027. This matter is urgent as the 2026 patio season is already underway and City Council approval is required to enable the installation of this patio in a timely manner.
