ROYAL BALLROOM DANCE STUDIO INC., DOING BUSINESS AS ROYAL RESTAURANT, UNIT #200 - 8040 GARDEN CITY ROAD

(File Ref. No.:  12-8275-30-037) (REDMS No. 2819979)

That the application by Royal Ballroom Dance Studio Inc, doing business as Royal Restaurant, for an amendment to add patron participation under Food Primary Liquor License No. 302360, in order to offer dining and dancing, be supported and that a letter be sent to the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch advising that:

(1)

Council recommends the amendment to the food primary liquor licence permitting patron participation for ballroom dancing on the premises as it will not have a significant negative impact on the community;

(2)

Council’s comments on the prescribed criteria (set out in section 53 of the Liquor Control and Licensing Regulations) are as follows:

(a)

The potential for additional noise and traffic in the area if the application is approved was considered;

(b)

The impact on the community if the application is approved was assessed through a community consultation process and considered;

(c)

That the amendment to permit patron participation under the Food Primary liquor licence should not change the establishment so that it is operated in a manner that is contrary to its primary purpose was considered;

(3)

As the operation of a licensed establishment may affect nearby residents the City gathered the views of the residents as follows:

(a)

Property owners and businesses within a 100 metre radius of the subject property were contacted by letter detailing the application and provided instructions 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 instructions on how community comments or concerns could be submitted.

(4)

Council’s comments and recommendations respecting the views of the residents are as follows:

(a)

That the letters received opposed to the amendment to permit patron participation were reviewed and was determined that the type of entertainment proposed would not impact the neighbourhood significantly and that based on the number of letters sent and the lack of responses received, Council considers that the amendment is acceptable to the majority of residents in the area.
