GENERAL PURPOSES RECOMMENDATION

 

 

That the application by Sento Enterprises Ltd., doing business as Take Sento Japanese Restaurant, for an amendment to increase the hours of liquor service under Food Primary Liquor License No. 304341 from Monday to Sunday 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. to Monday to Sunday 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., be supported and that a letter be sent to the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch advising that:

 

 

(1)

Council supports the amendment for an increase in liquor service, as the increase will not have a significant 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)

The amendment to permit extended hours of liquor service under the Food Primary Liquor License should not change the establishment so that it is operated in a manner that is contrary to its primary purpose as there has been no history of non-compliance with this operation;

 

 

(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 50 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)

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 based on the number of letters sent and the lack of response received from all public notifications, Council considers that the amendment is acceptable to the majority of the residents in the area and the community.
