Origin
Summary
This staff report is about a matter which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.
Transportation Services has assessed an appeal from the owner of 624 Davenport Road for front yard parking. Front yard parking at this location is not recommended because it does not meet the requirements of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 918. Specifically, Code Chapter 918 does not permit the licensing of a front yard parking pad where there is a negative poll result. Therefore, staff do not recommend granting the appeal for front yard parking at 624 Davenport Road.
