STAFF RECOMMENDATION

That the application from Shelter Island Restaurants Ltd., doing business as Tugboat Annie’s Pub, for an amendment to increase the occupant load to 194 patron capacity (78 interior and 116 exterior) under Liquor Primary Licence No. 110707, 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 occupant load 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 was considered; and

(b)

The impact on the community was assessed through a community consultation process. 

(3)

As the operation of a licenced establishment may affect nearby residents the City gathered the view 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, providing instructions on how community comments or concerns could be submitted; and

(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 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.
