ADOPTION OF MINUTES
The Minutes of the Standing Committee on Planning and Environment meeting of June 10, 2004, were adopted.
RECOMMENDATION
1. 1535 Johnston Street – Sandbar Fresh Seafood Restaurant – Permanent Change of Hours of Operation (Food Primary Liquor License – Restaurant Class 2) (File 2612-1)
The Committee had before it an Administrative Report dated May 18, 2004, in which the Chief License Inspector recommended Council not endorse the application by Granville Island Restaurant Inc. for a permanent change of hours of operation for the Food Primary liquor license at the Sandbar Fresh Seafood Restaurant at 1535 Johnston Street. The General Manager, Community Services recommended approval.
Guy Gusdal, License Coordinator, reviewed the report.
The Applicant, Brent Davies, President, Granville Island Restaurant Inc., spoke and his comments included:
· a history of liquor licensing related to the various restaurants on the site;
· Council should use its discretion on a case-by-case basis until the review of the liquor licensing policy relating to hours of operation is completed;
· noise is not a factor - the Sandbar shares common walls with the Arts Club Lounge that has a primary liquor license and is next to a gravel pit; there is no impact on residential area.
Staff responded to questions relating to classification of liquor licenses and provincial regulations relating to hours of operation, aspects of both under City jurisdiction, the City’s liquor licensing reviews currently under way, notification process and implications of granting an extension to this applicant.
MOVED by Councillor Green
THAT the Committee recommend to Council
THAT based on the establishment’s previous history, and separation from adjacent Residential uses, Council instruct the Chief License Inspector to favourably consider a one-hour temporary extension of the Food Primary liquor license to 1:00 a.m. seven days a week for the Sandbar Fresh Seafood Restaurant located at 1535 Johnston Street until such time that the liquor policy review for Hours of Liquor Service for Food Primary Liquor Licenses (Restaurants) is completed, subject to the business continuing to operate properly and without enforcement issues or complaints; and
FURTHER THAT Council postpone decision on the permanent change in hours of operation request by Granville Island Restaurant Inc. (dba “Sandbar Fresh Seafood Restaurant”) at 1535 Johnston Street pending the completion of the policy work on Hours of Liquor Service for Food Primary Liquor Licenses (Restaurants).

2. 550 Pacific Street – Development ApplicationDE408264
The Committee had before it a Policy Report dated June 7, 2004, in which the Director of Current Planning recommended Council endorse consideration of an additional storey for a previously approved 22 storey building at 550 Pacific Street on the basis that the additional height not be higher than the maximum height specified in the CD-1 bylaw and the illustrative form of development. The General Manager of Community Services recommended approval of Recommendation A, and put forward B for consideration as an alternative to A.
Larry Beasley, Director of Current Planning, reviewed the report and responded to questions relating to the history of changes to the application and implications for purchasers.
The Applicant, Matt Meehan, President, Pacific Place Developments, was available for questions.
Susan Boutwood spoke in opposition to the recommendations. Comments included:
· the proposed increase in height is in violation of guidelines, based on the motion passed at the May 28, 2003 Public Hearing, and should not be allowed;
· approval would set a unwarranted precedent;
· the process for this application is symptomatic of the City’s planning process - long and drawn out, allowing for lack of transparency and problems to arise;
· the planning process should be above reproach to ensure public good is upheld; under current process, ideals are being eroded;
· correlation between guidelines and CD-1 by-law is critical; original zoning from CD-1 by-law should be the basis for Council decision.
Staff responded to questions relating to residents’ concerns, density. transparency and integrity of process, specifics of zoning and CD-1 by-law parameters, the resolution passed at the May 28, 2003 Public Hearing and the continuing process during which residents will have opportunities to express their concerns.
MOVED by Councillor Louie
THAT the Committee recommend to Council
THAT Council advise the Director of Planning that it is prepared to consider approval of a revised final form of development at 550 Pacific Street (Development Application DE408264) which includes an additional storey on the residential tower, subject to the application being referred to the Development Permit Board for decision after staff review is completed, and the application receiving Development Permit Board approval.
