company.
REPORT:
A professional sign company, on behalf of the owner, has requested legalization of a proposed
sign encroachment for an updated sign for this property to aid with the identification and overall
presentation of the property. The previous sign has been removed as part of the scope of work
in replacing the signs on the property and the proposed sign will be installed in the previous
location which encroaches to a maximum of 0.8m onto the City’s York St. road allowance. It will
be requirements of the encroachment agreement that the owner obtain minor variance approval
for the setback and a sign permit. Attached is a drawing illustrating the location of the proposed
sign.
Due to timing of Council meetings, this matter is being brought to Council in advance of
obtaining all necessary staff approvals.
