Item - 2020.TE13.25

The Toronto and East York Community Council deferred consideration of the item indefinitely.

This staff report pertains to a matter for which Toronto and East York Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision, namely a final decision under Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 591, Noise (Noise By-law) to either grant or refuse a noise exemption permit application.

If the Community Council grants the noise exemption permit application, it is subject to the conditions set out in § 591-3.2.D of the Noise By-law, unless the Community Council determines otherwise, and to any other conditions respecting health, safety and nuisance as the Community Council considers advisable.

The matter before the Community Council is an application for a noise exemption permit submitted by EllisDon Corporation for construction noise for The Well project at 18 Spadina Avenue. The application was refused by Municipal Licensing and Standards on the basis of the Ward Councillor's objection to it and the applicant has appealed the refusal.
