As part of the application process, a memorandum is circulated to the various internal departments concerned for comment. Outlined below is a summary of the comments received concerning Cascais Bakery=s application for cash payment-in-lieu of parking:

Development Services

Development Control Division has no objections to this application.

The Building Division has indicated the owner is required to provide an additional three (3) parking spaces under the terms of York Zoning By-law 1-83 in converting the restaurant to a licenced establishment. Due to the fact that these spaces cannot be provided on the site, the applicant is applying for Cash payment-in-lieu of parking.

Operations Services

Currently on-street parking is legally permitted on both the north and south sides of Eglinton Avenue West, immediately adjacent to these premises providing one (1) hour maximum parking duration controlled by parking metres. In addition, there are two municipal parking lots all within walking distance of the establishment, which provide for varied parking durations dependent upon the customers= needs.

Conclusions:

The owner is required to provide an additional three (3) parking spaces to convert the existing restaurant into a licenced establishment, we, therefore, support and recommend approval of Cascais Bakery=s application for Cash payment-in-lieu of parking.
