The total person capacity at 223 persons indoor and 76 persons for the outdoor patio is acknowledged;

(c)

Council’s comments on the prescribed criteria (section 71 of the Liquor Control and Licensing Regulations) are as follows:

(i)

The impact of noise and traffic in the vicinity of the establishment was considered;  

(ii)

The general impact on the community was assessed through a community consultation process; and

(iii)

Given that there has been no history of non-compliance, this amendment will likely not result in the establishment being operated in a manner that is contrary to its primary purpose;

(d)

As the operation of a licenced establishment may affect nearby residents, business and property owners, the general impact assessment was conducted through the City’s community consultation process as follows:

(i)

Residents, businesses and property owners within a 50 meter radius of the establishment were notified by letter.  The letter provided information on the application with instructions on how to submit comments or concerns; and

(ii)

Signage was posted at the establishment and three public notices were published in a local newspaper. The signage and public notice provided information on the application with instructions on how to submit comments or concerns;

(c)

Council’s comments on the general impact of the views of residents, businesses and property owners as follows:

(i)

The community consultation process was completed within 90 days of the application process;

(ii)

The comments and views of residents, businesses and property owners received through the community consultation process were assessed; and

(iii)

The concerns of residents, businesses and property owners received through the community consultation process could be mitigated by existing Bylaws; and

(d)

Council recommends the approval of the licence for the reasons that the relocation amendment is acceptable to the majority of the residents and businesses in the area and the community.
