Is the new zoning restriction against back patios south of Bloor Street a good idea?

From an efficiency standpoint, Toronto's newly adopted common zoning by-law is a long-overdue improvement to the previous system, which, 12 years after amalgamation, was comprised of 43 by-laws that applied to the former municipalities that made up Metro Toronto. Although there remain a number of site-specific exceptions, the consolidation of regulations related to things like building heights and parking standards just makes sense.
I have some serious doubts, however, about the new restriction on back patios (see pages 6, and 24) for restaurants and bars located south of Bloor St. (between Victoria Park Ave. and the Humber River). Although the by-law doesn't apply to establishments that already have such spaces and still permits side patios (so long as they're 50% or less of the building's depth), that's little solace for prospective business owners and patio-lovers.
