Item - 2021.GL21.30

The General Government and Licensing Committee:

1. Requested the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards to report to the General Government and Licensing Committee at its meeting on September 15, 2021 for the Kingston Road Incremental Growth Study Area:

a. to provide a list of all business licences which have been issued from June 2003 until the present time;

b. the list, in Part a above, shall include a description of the type of business it was issued for;

c. on whether or not it complies with the guidelines of the Growth Study as passed by City Council; and

d. to provide a list of businesses which have expanded their business footprint onto adjacent properties.

The Kingston Road Incremental Growth Study which was passed by City Council in June 2003 recommended strategies to achieve over time, the revitalization of properties along Kingston Road from the Guildwood GO Station, to the Highland Creek Bridge, as an urban Avenue.  Avenues are identified in the Toronto Official Plan as important corridors along major streets where re-urbanization can yield positive results through the creation of housing and jobs supported by public transit. Kingston Road was one of four pilot areas to be studied.
