BACKGROUND
The Transportation Committee at its meeting of 7 June 2017, approved the following motion, which was added to the agenda pursuant to subsection 89(3) of the Procedure By-law (By-law 2016-377):
WHEREAS Council’s approval of the Right of Way Patio By-law on March 8, 2017 (now enacted as By-law 2017-92) included a requirement (Section 13 a) that a permit holder applicant provide and maintain Commercial General Liability insurance subject to limits of not less than $5 million; and
WHEREAS, in general, this $5 million insurance requirement is deemed appropriate for patios considered higher risk due to factors including but not limited to a high number of tables, service of full meals and/or alcohol, and proximity to roads with heavy traffic; and
WHEREAS café seating patios are generally considered lower risk and subject to specific conditions per Sections 41 through 43 of the By-law;
WHEREAS this insurance requirement is excessive for café seating patios and, therefore, a disincentive for applicants seeking permits for same;
THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Transportation Committee recommend that City Council establish new, lower insurance requirements for café seating patios by adding the following to By-law 2017-92, Section 13 (a):
INSURANCE
13. The permit holder applicant shall provide and maintain insurance in accordance with the following requirements in respect of each ROW patio permit issued to the permit holder under this by-law:
(a) Commercial General Liability insurance subject to limits of not less than $5,000,000, or not less than $2,000,000 inclusive per occurrence for café seating patios only, inclusive per occurrence for bodily injury, death and damage to property including loss of use thereof, and such insurance shall be in the name of the applicant and shall name the City as an additional insured thereunder and which shall preclude subrogation claims by the Insurer against anyone insured thereunder;
