4. 3684 East Hastings Street - Class 'D' Neighbourhood Pub

RECOMMENDED

THAT Council, having considered that the majority of area residents and business operators of the community are in favour of the application as determined by neighbourhood notification and public meeting and having considered the proximity of residential developments, traffic patterns, road access, availability of parking, noise impacts and the overall design, endorse the application by 605613 B.C.

· Dennis Coates, Mair Jensen Blair
· Bert Hick, Hick and Associates
· Vance Campbell, Granville Entertainment Group
· Blaine Culling, Granville Entertainment Group
· Jonathan Baker
· Kosta Zogaris
· Charles Wertman

· several speakers supported the proposed amendment to the seat relocation policy to expand the eligible area to qualify for seat relocation as outlined in Recommendation A; however, suggestions were made for further amendments to this policy to allow for alternatives to seat relocation;
· seat relocation is difficult to achieve as there are few licenses available to purchase and often involve dealing with disreputable operators;
· approval-in-principle conditions which are difficult, if not impossible, to fulfill have resulted in lengthy and costly delays to the projects outlined in Recommendations B and C;
· two speakers questioned the legality of requiring the removal of an existing license as a condition of a new license;
· suggestion was made that all current license applications be approved, which will not result in the seat allocation for the 900 block being very much over the limit;
· one speaker noted that his client's application for a license was not being processed due to other applications from one applicant being put ahead of all others;
· one speaker requested clarification as to whether the approval-in-principle outlined in Recommendation D was site specific or could be subsequently moved to another location;
· another speaker requested clarification as to the allowed property use of a building should the existing liquor license for the property be transferred out.
