That, on the recommendation of the Managing Director, Planning and City Planner, the following actions be taken with respect to the application of the City of London, relating to entertainment permitted on outdoor patios associated with a restaurant or tavern in the City of London:

 

a)            the proposed by-law appended to the staff report dated June 6, 2017, as Appendix "A" BE INTRODUCED at the Municipal Council meeting to be held on June 13, 2017 to delete Section 4.18 5) and renumber the following subsections of the General Provisions Section of Zoning By-law Z-1, (in conformity with the Official Plan), to permit amplified music, dancing or other forms of entertainment; it being noted that Noise By-law (PW-12) regulates noise levels and hours of operation and can provide regulations therein to address specific locations and situations; and,

 

b)            replacement pages 66 and 67, together with the other edits the Municipal Council requested to the Music, Entertainment and Culture District Feasibility Study, BE PRESENTED at a future meeting of the Strategic Priorities and Policy Committee (SPPC), to document comprehensively the City’s Music, Entertainment and Culture District strategy; it being noted that pages 63 to 65 have already been referred by the SPPC;

it being noted that the Municipal Council approves this application for the following reasons:

 

·                     outdoor patios on private property established after July 1993 are not permitted to have amplified music or dancing; it being noted that this prohibition does not apply to outdoor patios on private property established before adoption of Zoning By-law Z-1, thus zoning permissions for private outdoor patios regarding amplified music and dancing are inconsistent across the city; and,

·                     the proposed zoning by-law amendment creates zoning consistency in this particular regulation, which would be applicable to all property owners who operate patios associated with a restaurant or tavern in the City of London; it being noted that this action would implement one part of the strategy [“Permitted Activities on Private Patios”] in the Music, Entertainment and Culture District Feasibility Study approved by Council on March 21, 2017.     (2017-D09)

b)         the Site Plan Approval Authority BE REQUESTED to consider the following design issues through the site plan process:

 

i)          locate parking in the rear and/or side yards of the Continuum-of-Care Facility, and screen any parking areas that are visible from the public street;

ii)         the design of the amenity space (in front of the building) should respond to the curved street. Consider developing the landscape treatment, including any fencing or landscaped wall, to enhance the street edge;

iii)         include articulated building facades and rooflines, and use a coordinated, high quality material palette;

iv)        ensure windows are proportional to the facades they are on, and minimize large blank walls;

v)         ensure a strong pedestrian connection between the main building entrance and the public sidewalk on Morgan Avenue; and,

vi)        the development of the site be generally in keeping with the revised site plan appended to the staff report dated June 6, 2017, as Appendix “B";

 

it being pointed out that at the public participation meeting associated with this matter, the individuals indicated on the attached public participation meeting record made oral submissions regarding these matters;

 

 

 

it being noted that the Municipal Council approves this application for the following reasons:

 

·                     the recommended amendment is consistent with the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement which encourages a range and mix of land uses, and directs municipalities to permit all forms of housing required to meet the needs of current and future residents, including special need requirements;

·                     the recommended amendment is consistent with the policy direction in the London Plan that envisions Shopping Areas becoming mixed-use areas. The proposed development is in keeping with the planned form and intensity of Shopping Areas;

·                     the recommended amendment conforms to the 1989 Official Plan, and will implement the Community Commercial Node policies. Community facilities, such as the proposed Continuum-of-Care Facility, are permitted through Zoning By-law Amendments;

·                     the Southwest Area Secondary Plan does not provide specific policy direction or guidance for lands in the Commercial designation in the Central Longwoods Residential Neigbourhood that would supersede the Community Commercial Node policies in the Official Plan. The proposed development is consistent with the Urban Design policies in the Southwest Area Secondary Plan; and,

·                     the subject site is an appropriate size and configuration to accommodate the proposed use in keeping with the standard Residential R7 Zone regulations.    (2017-D09)

 

Motion made by Councillor T. Park to Approve clause 13.
