(March 7, 2017) Report from the Manager, Sign By-law Unit, Toronto Building
Clear Channel Canada (the “Applicant”) is seeking two variances from the Sign By-law to modify an existing third party ground sign (the “Proposed Sign”) located along the southern property frontage of 1 Atlantic Avenue (the “Premises”) which currently displays both static copy and mechanical (tri-vision) copy, facing the F.G. Gardiner Expressway. An image of the existing ground sign can be seen in Figure 1 of the report summary section.
It is the opinion of the Chief Building Official (“CBO”) that the Applicant has not provided enough information to demonstrate that the Proposed Sign meets all of the nine criteria contained in §694-30A of the Sign By-law. Specifically, it has not been established that the Proposed Sign is of a sign type that is permitted in the sign district where the premises is located; it has not been established that the proposed sign is compatible with the development of the premises and the surrounding area; and, it has not been established that the Proposed Sign will not adversely affect adjacent premises.
