Subject:Coffee Time - Operation of the Boulevard Cafe During the 1998 Cafe Season -
Ossington Avenue Flankage of 832 College Street (Trinity-Niagara)
Purpose:
To report on the operation of the boulevard cafe on the Ossington Street flankage of 832
College Street during the 1998 cafe season.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Not applicable.
Recommendation:
That City Council approve the continuation of the licence for the boulevard cafe on the
Ossington Avenue flankage of 832 College Street, with the same terms and conditions as
previously approved, i.e. Sunday to Thursday 10:30 p.m. closing time and Friday and
Saturday 11:30 p.m. closing time, since there were no complaints received from the
neighbourhood.
Background:
City Council, at its meeting of July 8, 9 and 10, 1998, approved the application for a
boulevard cafe on the Ossington Avenue flankage of 832 College Street, subject to:
(a)the applicant complying with the criteria set out in ' 313-36 of Municipal Code Chapter
313, Streets and Sidewalks, of the former City of Toronto Municipal Code; and
(b)the patio being closed and cleared by 10:30 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday and by 11:30
p.m. on Friday and Saturday;
and requested the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services to report back after the
end of the 1998 cafe season on the operation of the cafe.
Comments:
A licence for the cafe on the Ossington Avenue flankage of 832 College Street (Coffee
Time) was issued on July 23, 1998.
During the 1998 cafe season, the operation of the boulevard cafe was monitored
periodically. Inspections confirmed that the proprietor complied with the restrictions and
the other requirements of ' 313-36 of the former City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter
313, including the closing time restrictions.
In addition, we did not receive any complaints from members of the public or Toronto
Police Service pertaining to noise or other disturbances at the subject location.
Conclusions:
Given that the cafe operated during the 1997 cafe season without any incidents, I am
recommending that the licence be renewed annually under the present terms and conditions.
