The Toronto Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report
(October 28, 1998) from the Acting Assistant Director, By-law Administration and
Enforcement, Transportation Services:
Purpose:
To report on the extended hours of operation from 9:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., 7 days a week, for
the boulevard cafe on the Roxborough Street West flankage of 1094 Yonge 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
Roxborough Street West flankage of 1094 Yonge Street, with the same terms and conditions
as previously approved, i.e. 11:00 p.m. closing time, 7 days a week, since there were no
complaints received from the neighbourhood.
Background:
City Council, at its meeting of July 8, 9 and 10, 1998, approved the extension of the boulevard
cafe operating hours from 9:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., 7 days a week for the boulevard cafe on
the Roxborough Street West flankage of 1094 Yonge Street, subject to 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 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 under the extended hours.
Comments:
A licence to extend the boulevard cafe operating hours from 9:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., 7 days a
week, was issued on August 12, 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 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 1998 cafe season without any incidents, I am
recommending that the licence be renewed annually under the present terms and conditions.
