GENERAL PURPOSES COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

That the application from 0791964 BC Ltd., doing business as Browns Social House, for an amendment to increase their hours of liquor service under Food Primary Liquor Licence No. 303140 from Monday to Sunday 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. to Monday to Sunday 9:00 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)

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

(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; and

(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.
