The potential for additional noise in the area if the application is approved was considered and determined that there will be little or no impact of additional noise;

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

Signage was posted at the subject property and three public notices were published in a local newspaper.  The signage and notice provided information on the application and instructions on how community comments or concerns could be submitted;
