The Premises is located in a commercial plaza which has been the subject of several meetings as a result of complaints from the community regarding the existing licenced establishments in the same plaza, including immediately adjacent to the Premises. The addition of another licenced establishment at this location is very concerning. Under no circumstance should the establishment be granted a liquor sales license without conditions attached. This Motion is urgent as the deadline to file an objection is July 7, 2020.
