Origin
Summary
The number of local breweries in Toronto has increased considerably over the last decade to become an important part of the City’s economic and cultural identity. In 2015, City Council requested that staff work with owners and operators of craft breweries to help grow the craft beer sector and make Toronto “the craft beer capital of the world”. In 2017 City Council requested that staff consider amendments to the Zoning By-law permissions for breweries, restaurants, and related uses to help support and grow the craft brewery industry, and that staff hold consultations on these amendments.
This report responds to the 2017 request from City Council and summarizes proposed zoning by-law amendments related to eating establishments, retail stores, and beverage manufacturing uses in the City’s Commercial and Employment Industrial zones. The proposed amendments are based on previous consultation with the City’s Craft Beer Industry, as well as public consultation, and are intended to better reflect the varied and contemporary operating nature of the City’s many local breweries.
