Item - 2012.TE12.35

This staff report is about a matter which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. 

Transportation Services is in receipt of a request from the owner of 894 Queen Street West, Fresh Restaurant, to construct a building addition in order to expand the restaurant within the Crawford Street flank of 894 Queen Street West.

Transportation Services has reviewed the proposal and does not recommend approval as there are no provisions in the Municipal Code to allow for such encroachments.

This supplementary report is to provide the Committee with the results of the neighbourhood survey, for reference during its deliberations, conducted to determine neighbourhood support for the proposal to construct a building addition in order to expand the restaurant within the Crawford Street flank of 894 Queen Street West.

At its meeting of November 2, 2011, the Toronto and East York Community Council deferred consideration of the report, TE11.15, Building Addition to Expand Restaurant - 894 Queen Street West, and directed the appropriate City staff to conduct an impartial survey of residents of all eligible households on Crawford Street, odd and even sides of the street, from Queen Street West to Dundas Street West, in order to determine support for this application, based on the majority of the ballots received from the survey conducted being in favour of the application.

The majority of surveys received were in favour of the proposal.
