Amendment to Municipal Code Chapter 27 (Council Procedures) and Municipal Code Chapter 925 (Permit Parking): Streamlining Permit Parking Exclusions for New Developments

The intent was to address permit parking eligibility earlier in the development review process and reduce the need for separate reports following project approval. However, Section 27-18.4B(3) of Chapter 27 delegates authority over on-street permit parking matters on public lanes or public alleys, local roads, collector roads, and on minor and major arterial roads without an established TTC route to Community Council. This creates a procedural inconsistency that limits the ability to implement permit parking exclusion recommendations through Development Review reports and often requires separate reports to Community Council. To address this issue, the proposed amendment to Chapter 27 would clarify that the authority delegated to Community Council does not apply to amendments to Chapter 925 that exclude residents of, visitors to, or tradespersons at addresses within the Excluded Area, nor does it apply to addresses associated with Zoning By-law Amendment applications. Corresponding amendments to Chapter 925 would give effect to this change and consolidate currently excluded addresses into a new schedule to the chapter. These amendments will fully implement Council's prior direction, improve coordination between development review and permit parking processes, reduce administrative duplication, and provide a more efficient and consistent approval process.
