City-initiated request to amend the Zoning By-law to allow small-scale retail, service, office, and home occupation uses withing neighbourhoods

The City is initiating zoning by-law amendments to the zoning by-law to permit certain
small-scale retail, service, and office uses on residentially-zoned properties within neighbourhoods on major streets including Port Union Road, and to permit small-scale retail stores and eating establishments on select sites within neighbourhood interiors on corner lots next to schools, parks, or commercial sites, and to update home occupation permissions.

 

The City-initiated zoning by-law amendments to expand commercial use permissions on major streets and within neighbourhood interiors applies to all zones under the residential zone category. The related amendments would allow a broad range of retail, service and office uses on all residentially zoned sites located on major streets. In the interior of neighbourhoods, the location of commercial uses would be limited to corner sites of select “community streets”, as well as sites adjacent to existing non-residential uses, such as schools and parks.


The amendment to expand permissions for home occupations applies to all zones where home occupations are permitted. The amendment would allow a limited number of clients and employees to attend the premises of a home occupation, as well as allow home occupations to occur in an ancillary building.

You may send written comments by e-mail to phc@toronto.ca or by mail to the address below. You can submit written comments up until City Council gives final consideration to the proposal.


You are also invited to address the Planning and Housing Committee, in person, by video conference or by telephone, to make your views known regarding the proposal.
