Notice is given
that the Chief Building Official and Executive Director, Toronto Building, is
reporting on a proposed amendment to Municipal Code Chapter 694, Signs, General
(the "Sign By-law"), to allow for, and regulate, the display of one
third party electronic ground sign at the premises municipally
known as 55 Beverly Hills
Drive.
The
proposed amendment seeks to:
1. Add an area-specific amendment to the Sign By-law for the
premises municipally known as 55 Beverly Hills Drive to amend the Sign
By-law to:
·
Modify
the general provision that every sign permit issued by the Chief Building
Official for the erection or display of a third party sign shall expire five
years from the date of issuance and is null and void on its expiry date, to
require that the initial permit issued by Chief Building Official for the
erection or display of the third party sign described below would expire 10
years from the date of issuance;
and,
·
Allow the premises
municipally known as 55 Beverly Hills Drive
to contain one third party electronic ground sign containing two sign faces in a "v-shaped" configuration,
measuring 14.63 metres horizontally by 4.27 metres vertically, containing
electronic static copy along the southerly portion of the property and, with a
total sign face area of approximately 62.5 square metres; and, a height
(highest point of the sign measured from grade) of 13.8 metres (Proposed Sign); and,
·
Allow the premises
municipally known as 55 Beverly Hills Drive to
contain first party signs, in accordance with Section 694-21(I) of the Sign By-law.

and Executive Director, Toronto Building, is recommending that the Council of

Hills Drive.

Toronto amend the Sign By-law to amend Schedule B,
Signage Master Plans and Area Specific Amendments,
to add a new area specific amendment to Schedule B,
