Confused New bylaw limits driveway parking to two vehicles (Toronto)

LOL - the rules keep on piling up!

(LINK)

Parking in Toronto just got a little more complicated thanks to a new bylaw that restricts how many vehicles homeowners can park on their driveways.

City council quietly passed the regulation, part of the new harmonized zoning bylaw, at its last meeting of the summer, CTV has learned. The bylaw took effect Oct. 1.

The law allows residents with a single-car garage to park one vehicle in the garage and one on the driveway. Those with double garages may park two vehicles in the garage and two on the driveway.

The change has sparked some debate among Torontonians.

"It's nonsense," Scarborough resident Sal Lamantia told CTV Toronto's Naomi Parness. "In terms of my own driveway, it should be my own decision."

Others say the new rule keeps streets looking cleaner.

The law was created after some residents complained others were turning their driveways into parking lots, city officials said.

The city will rely on complaints in enforcing the restriction, officials said. Fines will be determined in court, and could reach up to $5,000.

The regulation is being grandfathered in, meaning residents used to packing several cars on the driveway are still allowed to do so.

They'll have to show they've been doing it for a while, which could prove difficult, said Lance Cumberbatch, director of the municipal standards and licensing division.

Residents buying or building new homes will be most affected by the change.

At least one resident has appealed the bylaw, sending the matter to the Ontario Municipal Board for review.

So gay. Is this what the tax dollars go towards, for the bureaucrats to come up with new [dumb] laws and new [dumb] rules all the time, to make it look like they are doing something (or, in truth, to raise more tax revenue using back-door methods) ...

Whats next - a $100 fine for spitting on a sidewalk?

I dont live in Toronto (thank heavens), but I dont see what business it is of politicians to tell me how many cars I can park in my driveway. Its my property, my decision.

Toronto is a fucking joke and all of you that live there should be ashamed that this is happening.

In Winnipeg there is a maximum fine of $1000.00 for spitting on a sidewalk. In Kenora it could be as high as $5,000.00.

seems like a waste of time to pass a law.
If you live in the city there are cars on every inch of the street.. this isn't going to help anything.

This will likely be enforced for some relentless whiner who would not give up.

So if the grandparents come over 1 will have to park on the street even if there is room in the driveway?

My grandpa would told them to fuck off.

So? It's my fucking driveway. On my own fucking property. Ridiculous.

Thankfully I live just north of TO.

In a way it makes sense, some mainland chinese slumlords in scarb ram jam the rental houses ....

Normal house that can have 2 cars parked, they have so many ppl living there ... it's like tetris w/ 5-6 cars parked.

This new law makes the normal home owners suffer ...

the BEST part of this all, which shows how horrendous city council is, is that both rob ford and joe pantalone voted FOR this bylaw without even knowing this was in there. now they are both going back on it saying its wrong. pathetic.
