(File Ref. No.) (REDMS No. 2756901)

GP-5

See Page GP-5 of the General Purposes Committee agenda for full report

GENERAL PURPOSES COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

That the application by Koto Izakaya Restaurant Company Ltd., doing business as Koto Izakaya Sushi & Robata, to permanently extend the hours of liquor service from 9:00 a.m. to Midnight, Monday to Sunday to 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 am., Monday to Sunday, be supported and that a letter be sent to the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch advising that:

(1)

Council supports the proposed amendment having considered the prescribed criteria (set out in Section 53(4) of the Liquor Control and Licensing Regulations) and comments as follows:

(a)

That the potential for noise in the area if the application is approved was considered.

(b)

That the application for extended liquor service hours will not pose a significant negative impact on the community based on the lack of responses received from the residents and businesses in the area.

(c)

That the application for extended liquor service should not result in the establishment being operated contrary to its primary purpose.

(2)

As the operation of a licensed establishment might affect nearby residents and businesses, the City gathered the views of the residents and businesses as follows:

(a)

As per City Policy, residents, property owners and businesses within a 100 metre radius of the subject property were contacted by letter detailing the application and were provided with instruction on how community comments or concerns could be submitted.

(b)

In addition, signage was posted at the subject property and three public notices were published in a local newspaper.  This signage and notice provided information on the application and instruction on how community comments or concerns could be submitted.

(3)

Council’s comments considered the views of the residents and businesses as follows:

(a)

The only response to the public notifications was an email dated November 4, 2009, from a nearby business owner.  Based on the lack of any responses from residents in the nearby area, Council considers that the application is acceptable to the majority of the residents.
