REPORT TO COUNCIL

STANDING COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL
ON PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT

MAY 20, 1999

+ Denotes presence for part of the meeting

RECOMMENDATION

1. Split-Island Gasoline Service Stations - File: 3053/RTS: 743

· the by-law has not been enforced for some years, and people all over the city have been unable to obtain gas because of the lack of full service;
· the Disability Issues Committee is not requesting that all stations remain open 24 hours, only that those stations which are open be required to provide full service as well as self service;
· universal access is an important principle which the current by-law upholds; it is more important to have less stations remain open 24 hours but offer full service than to have more stations open without full service; and
· access difficulties and security concerns of seniors and persons with disabilities were described.

RECOMMENDED

THAT the Planning Department be instructed to report back, in consultation with the Director of Legal Services, on whether it is technically possible to implement the proposal put forward by Chevron Canada, regarding hours of operation for split-island gasoline service stations.

(Councillor Sullivan opposed;
the Mayor not present for the vote)

The Committee adjourned at 3:05 p.m.
