There is no proposed change to the existing indoor area. The existing licensed indoor area consists of a main floor of approximately 130 patrons, a second floor dining area is approximately 30 patrons and the second floor lounge is approximately 110 patrons. The Premises is within a mixed-use residential neighbourhood. The Premises is also located near a large concentration of licensed establishments. There are concerns related to noise, litter, safety, lighting and other potential disturbances to residents in the area. This application for an amendment to the existing liquor licence is not in the public interest, unless the concerns of the residents are addressed. The Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario should be requested to issue a Proposal to Review or a Proposal to Refuse the liquor licence application. This application for a liquor licence is not in the public interest unless certain conditions, addressing the concerns of the community, are attached to the licence. This matter is urgent as the Placard deadline for objections is July 24, 2019.
