Purpose:
At its meeting on June 22, 1999, the Scarborough Community Council requested that "The Director and Deputy Chief
Building Official, East District, and the Manager, Municipal Standards, East District, report on the result of their
investigations respecting the Midland Avenue and Weybright Court locations."
Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
NIL
Recommendations:
That this report be received for information purposes.
Report:
The property known municipally as 3880 Midland Avenue came to the attention of the Municipal Standards Division in
October 1998 when a complaint was lodged concerning excessive noise at the property. Subsequent to the complaint, the
division became aware of thirty one special occasion permits which had been issued over the past year.
Examination of the property revealed a social club located on the second floor of the building. A review of Zoning By-law
24982, as amended, indicated that the property was zoned Community Commercial (CC), Employment (E) and
Recreational (RU). The Zoning Section of the Building Division advised that while the social club for recreational uses
was permitted, the use of the club as a banquet hall was not.
Acting upon this information, Municipal Licensing and Standards requested the Alcohol and Gaming Commission to flag
the property and cease issuing special occasion permits. This was, in fact, done and no further complaints respecting noise
have been received.
The division checked its records concerning complaints received about parties at 2360 Midland Avenue. No record of
complaint was noted. Notwithstanding, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission has been requested to flag this address in
order to prevent the issuance of special occasion permits.
