The Second Cup - Boulevard Cafe
- McGill Street Flankage of 423 Yonge Street
(Convenience Address of 419 Yonge Street) (Downtown)
The Toronto Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report
(February 23, 1998) from the Director, By-law Administration and Enforcement, City
Works Services:
Purpose:
To report on the extended hours of operation of the boulevard cafe, as approved on a trial basis
for the 1997 cafe season, on the McGill Street flankage of 423 Yonge Street.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Not applicable.
Recommendation:
That the boulevard cafe licensed on the McGill Street flankage of 423 Yonge Street retain its
1:00 a.m. closing time restriction as previously authorized by City Council.
Background:
The former City of Toronto Council, at its meeting of December 9 and 10, 1996, approved an
application to extend the operating hours of the boulevard cafe on the McGill Street flankage of
423 Yonge Street from 11:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., on a trial basis for the 1997 cafe season, and
requested the Commissioner of City Works Services to report back at the end of the 1997 cafe
season.
Comments:
A licence for the boulevard cafe on the McGill Street flankage of 423 Yonge Street was issued to
Mr. Sonny Azizi, 1091414 Ontario Limited, o/a The Second Cup on July 23, 1996, subject to the
cafe closing at 11:00 p.m. Subsequently, the former City of Toronto Council, on December 9
and 10, 1996, approved Mr. Azizi's request to extend the closing time restriction of his cafe to
1:00 a.m. and requested me to report back at the end of the 1997 cafe season on the operation of
the cafe.
A new owner, Ms. Julien Yu, took over the operation of the cafe in August 1997. The cafe
licence was transferred to Ms. Yu, subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to the
previous owner.
No complaints relating to this location have been received from the public or Toronto Police
Service during the 1997 season and no by-law enforcement has occurred with respect to garbage
or noise violations.
Conclusion:
Given that there were no complaints received regarding the operation of the cafe during the 1997
cafe season, I would recommend that the 1:00 a.m. closing time restriction remain in effect.
