Summary

The restaurant located at 461 King Street West, operating as Silent H, has applied for a permanent CaféTO curb lane café permit. Following a feasibility assessment it was determined that the proposed curb lane café area would not be eligible due to the permit area being located within a Commercial Loading Zone, which is not permitted in City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 742, Sidewalk Cafés, Parklets and Marketing Displays.

 

This commercial loading zone was implemented as part of the King Street West Transit Pilot Agenda Item History - 2017.EX26.1 (toronto.ca). This motion seeks to remove the Commercial Loading Zone in order to provide a café permit for this restaurant operator.
