Application for a New Liquor Primary Licence for The Drake, 517 Pandora Street (Downtown) --J. Tinney, Director of Sustainable Planning and Community Development A report providing information and recommendations regarding an application by The Drake for a new Liquor Primary License at 517 Pandora Avenue for licenced hours of service from 9:00 am until 12:00 am seven days a week, with an occupant load of 178 persons. Recommendation: That Council direct staff to provide the following response to the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch: 1. Council, after conducting a review with respect to the location of the establishment and the person capacity and hours of liquor service, supports the application of The Drake, located at 517 Pandora Street to obtain a new Liquor Primary License permitting service from 9:00 am until 12:00 am seven days a week for an occupant load not in excess of 178 persons. Providing the following comments on the prescribed considerations: a. The impact of noise on the community in the vicinity of the establishment has been considered and is expected to be consistent with existing operations based on an understanding that the total licensed capacity under the Food Primary Licence is 178 persons and the hours of operation are 11:30 am until 12:00 am seven days per week. b. If the application is approved, the impact on the community is expected to be negligible given the size and hours of the business. c. The views of residents were solicited via a mail out to neighbouring property owners and occupiers within 50 metres of the licensed location and a notice posted at the property. The City received four letters, all in support of the application. d. Council recommends the issuance of the license. 1_Report_Application for a New Liquor Primary Licence for The Drake, 517 Pandora Street 2_Appendix A_Letter of Rationale 3_Attachment B_Aerial Photograph (map) 4_Appendix C_Council Minutes May 24, 2007, (Liquor Licencing Policy) 5_Appendix D_Letter from the Public 6_Appendix E_Provincial Liquor License Types |
