Origin

(November 25, 2025) Report from the District Manager, Municipal Licensing and Standards, West District

Summary

This staff report concerns a matter for which the Etobicoke York Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

This report responds to an application submitted by the property owner of 2510 Lake Shore Boulevard West requesting approval for a site-specific Fence Exemption under Section 447-1.2B(1) of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 447 – Fences.

The owner is seeking permission to maintain an existing wood privacy fence, measuring approximately 1.8 meters in height by 3.3 meters in length, located along the east side of the property boundary. The fence is attached to the existing perimeter fence and does not comply with the fence standards prescribed in Chapter 447.

Municipal Licensing and Standards staff inspected the property and confirmed that the fence exceeds the permitted height for a residential area. As a result, a Fence Exemption is required for the fence to remain as constructed.
