BE INTRODUCED at the Municipal Council meeting to be held on May 6, 2014:
Amendments:
i) the
fee for a new Refreshment Vehicle (Category 7) shall be increased to $2,865
($2,620 for existing);
ii) section
18.18(c) shall be amended to provide that “A Category 7 Refreshment
Vehicle shall not be permitted to locate on a street within 50 metres
of an eating establishment….”;
iii) section
18.18(d) shall be amended to provide that “A Category 7 Refreshment

of property used for residential purposes….”;
iv) a
provision shall be added so that no Category 7 Refreshment Vehicles shall
be permitted on Richmond Street;
v) section
18.20.1 shall be amended to change any references to twelve (12) to eight

b) the
Civic Administration BE DIRECTED to report back in Fall 2014 with an
assessment of the pilot program for food trucks; it being understood that the
report back will not include an inventory of restaurants that may have closed
during the pilot program period, and an analysis of any closures, as it would
be impossible to determine, with any accuracy, the reasons for those closures
and to access the information required to undertake a meaningful analysis.
it being noted that the Community and
Protective Services Committee held a public participation meeting related to
this matter on April 28, 2014.
