Item - 2025.TE22.4

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands at 229 Richmond Street West substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment included as Attachment 2 to the report (April 11, 2025) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.

2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the Zoning By-law Amendments as may be required.

The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on May 1, 2025 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This report recommends the adoption of a City-initiated temporary use Zoning By-law to repeal and replace the existing temporary use Zoning By-law in effect for 229 Richmond Street West, extending the duration for the temporary use. The temporary use Zoning By-law will continue to permit an outdoor patio on the property at 229 Richmond Street West, in association with non-residential uses located within the block bounded by Richmond Street West, Duncan Street, Nelson Street, and John Street. This temporary use Zoning By-law is a 2-year extension of the existing temporary use permissions, and would enable the patio to continue until December 31, 2027.

The proposed temporary use Zoning By-law conforms with the Official Plan, including the Downtown Secondary Plan, is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024).
