(2)

Council's comments on the prescribed criteria (set out in section 10(3) of the Liquor Control and Licensing Act Regulations) are as follows:

(a)

The location of the establishment is zoned Auto-Oriented Commercial (CA) and the proposed use was reviewed and conforms to the regulations for the area;

The number and market focus or clientele of liquor primary license establishments within a reasonable distance of the proposed location was considered;

(e)

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

(3)

As the operation of the establishment as a liquor licensed establishment might affect nearby residents, the City gathered the view of the residents as follows:

(a)

As per City Policy, residents, property owners and businesses within a 50 metre radius of the subject property were contacted by letter detailing the application and were provided with instruction on how 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.

(4)

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

(a)

There were no responses to all public notifications and based on the lack of any responses received from the community, Council considers that the application is acceptable to the majority of the community and residents and businesses in the nearby area.
