REPORT REFERENCE
1. Proposed Provincial Liquor Licensing Review File: 2611/RTS: 644
Council had before it a Policy Report dated April 7, 1999, in which the Chief License Inspector, in consultation with the Co-Director of Planning (Central Area Planning), the Acting General Manager of Community Services, the Director of Social Planning and the Chief Constable put forward recommendations in response to the draft conclusions of the Province’s review of liquor license regulations. Staff concluded that the Province’s review does offer some recommendations which will significantly simplify licensing procedures, however, other recommendations need further clarification to determine their effects on the City. Still others are of great concern because they are contrary to City policy.
Also before Council was a memorandum dated April 9, 1999 from Dr. F.J. Blatherwick, Medical Health Officer, and Nick Losito, Director, Environmental Health of the Vancouver/Richmond Health Board offering comments on the Policy Report.
Paul Teichroeb, Chief License Inspector, provided Council with a verbal review of the Report. Jeff Brooks, Director, Community Services - Social Planning, outlined concerns with respect to the expansion of liquor availability without neighbourhood input and with the longstanding deficiency in alcohol related treatment/support resources. Inspector Dave Jones, Vancouver Police Department, related his concerns in relation to the availability of rice wine, believing it should be reduced in potency or made available only in liquor stores.
MOVED by Cllr. Kennedy,
A. THAT the City Manager and the Chief License Inspector prepare a brief for presentation to the Province’s Review of Liquor License Regulations whichhighlights the issues of consensus and concern as identified in this report including the following:
i. the pressing needs to increase alcohol treatment and support resources before increasing the availability of alcohol,
ii. that the province initiate public meetings for broader public involvement in the proposed new liquor license regulations and procedures, and
iii. clarification of a number of the proposed recommendations and the potential for down loading the processing of liquor license applications to the municipalities.
A1. THAT the Vancouver Liquor Licensing Commission hold two special meetings tentatively scheduled for April 27 and May 5, 1999 at 7:30 p.m., to hear from the public, law enforcement authorities, treatment providers, not-for-profit, and other interested parties to allow Vancouver City Council to present a wide range of opinion to the Province before new legislation and regulations are enacted.
A2. THAT Council request the Province to fully disclose all documents dealing with proposed changes to the liquor licensing regulations and legislation, and that no changes be made until public consultation has taken place.
B. THAT Council endorse in principle the following recommendations of the Provincial Consultant’s Liquor Review report:
1. Simplifying licence approval so processing time will be close to six to 12 weeks, instead of up to 18 months.
2. Allowing wineries to serve wine and food without having to apply for multiple licenses, as industry recommended at the 1998 Premier’s Summit.
3. Eliminating regulatory policies that serve no public health or safety purpose, such as regulations governing the number and size of televisions in bars.
4. Enabling local governments to recommend one-year moratoria on new licenses to address over-licensing that arises when local economies and demographics change.
5. Requiring all liquor servers to be trained in Serving It Right, andrequiring them to pass a closed book exam.
6. Developing a system to prevent the sale of cheap drinks.
7. Regulating and licensing U-brews and U-vins to make sure customers produce the liquor and to prevent bootlegging and consumption by minors.
8. Creating a separate independent review to study the increased regulation of high potency alcohol products (e.g., rice cooking wine, ginseng brandy and other potables). [Review commenced March 1, 1999].
C. THAT Council support in principle the following recommendations subject to further discussion and clarification with Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (LCLB):
1. Reduce the 10 license types to two: an “A” license for businesses that mainly serve liquor and a “B” license for those that mainly serve food.
2. LCLB will consider evidence of community impacts before renewing a license.
3. Creation of a clear schedule of graduated penalties, with fines and/or suspensions leading to license cancellation for serious infractions (such as service to minors and over service) and more timely and efficient appeals on enforcement decisions, so that bad operators cannot avoid penalties or operate with impunity during lengthy appeal processes.
4. Existing (other than restaurants) establishments (not new applicants) will be given more flexibility as to hours of operation, but only with municipal input.
5. There will be a mechanism to extend closing times for cabarets to 4:00 a.m. without liquor service, with the approval of the municipality.
D. THAT Council does not endorse the following recommendations as contained in the consultant’s report as the recommendations are contrary to existing Council policy:
1. Allowing credit card sales in government liquor stores and opening a limited number of these stores on Sundays, primarily in high tourist areas.
2. Limiting the size of restaurant holding areas and allowing restaurants to have a small number of designated drinking seats.
E. THAT Council does not endorse the following recommendations as contained in the consultant’s report:
1. Permitting existing bars, pubs and cabarets (within limits) to increase their capacities to the building occupancy limit with no local government input.
2. Eliminating the 14 hours a day service limitation.
3. Permitting existing patio seats to not be deducted from inside seating in hotels.
4. Further consideration of allowing potential access in straight drinking establishments to minors accompanied by parents or guardians until 9:00 p.m. (particularly in significant tourist areas) if no adult entertainment is provided in the establishment.
F. THAT Council request clarification and additional information from the consultant or the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch on the following recommendations:
1. Local government input will inform LCLB licensing decisions.
2. LCLB will develop new systems to make it easier for local governments to provide input.
3. In licensing decisions, factors that are likely to impact on the local community (such as size, hours of operation and types of entertainment) will be considered through advice from local governments.
4. Eliminate discrepancies between building capacities and licensed capacities, new establishments will be required to build to their liquor capacity.
5. Simple tests will be applied to ensure that restaurants operate as restaurants and not as bars. A “reverse-onus” enforcement program will place the onus on restaurants to demonstrate that they are operating as restaurants and not as bars.
6. Enabling School Boards to veto any new liquor license within 150 metres of school grounds.
7. Deregulating advertising by adopting the federal code and eliminating the need for pre-approvals by the Province.
G. THAT Council reaffirm its position with respect to Council policy on the following issues that were not specifically addressed in the consultant’s report:
1. Non-support for the licensing of billiard hall establishments.
2. Non-support for active games or gambling in restaurants.
3. Non-support for the licensing of casino and gaming establishments, including those located on First Nations Land.
4. Taxation revenues generated by liquor sales be used to monitor and enforce liquor regulations and for treatment and social services related to liquor abuse.
5. Require licensed vessels to also be licensed by the Coast Guard.
- CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY
