That:

(1)

the resolution adopted on July 28, 2008, in relation to the Richmond Yacht Club Liquor-Primary Club License application be rescinded; and

(2)

the application by Richmond Yacht Club for a Liquor Primary-Club License be supported by Council, and that a letter of resolution be forwarded to Liquor Control and Licencing Branch advising that;

the premises of the Richmond Yacht Club located at 7411 River Road is zoned School and Public Use which permits the use of a recreational facility and that the area surrounding the Richmond Yacht Club is a mixture of industrial, office uses and other water-related activities

(b)

the purpose of the club is to serve club members and invited guests only and not open to the general public. Consequently, if successful in obtaining a liquor license, the operation would not conflict with any nearby social, recreation or public buildings;

(c)

the establishment is not expected to negatively affect vehicular traffic patterns in the area and as the building is located under the flight path of Vancouver International Airport traffic and on the dyke next to the middle arm of the Fraser River, it is anticipated that the potential of any additional noise would have little or no impact on the surrounding properties;

(d)

as the proposed liquor sales is to club members and invited quests only and not to the general public; the proposed hours of liquor sales of 9:00 a.m. to Midnight, Sunday to Thursday and 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., Fridays and Saturdays with a patron capacity of 120 has been reviewed and is acceptable;

(e)

Council considered the views of area residents by having the applicant erect signage in front of the establishment as well as publish an advertisement in a local newspaper for three consecutive issues with detailed information of the application and the required contact information for submitting any comments on the proposal.  In addition, the City mailed letters to businesses, residents and property owners within a 100 meter radius of the building to gather their views of the application.  This public consultation was for a period of 30 days and ended on July 9, 2008.  Council noted that there was no community responses received from the letters mailed out, posted signage or newspaper advertisements; and

(f)

there were no other local issues Council considered relevant to this application.
