PURPOSE:

The property is an existing rental building and the development would be subject to Council’s Tenant Relocation Policy. Following an earlier public hearing held for this property on January 18, 2021, the Bylaw 2363 has now been revised to include an additional requirement that four (4) of the units be rented for a period of ten (10) years at average White Rock rental rates based on the most recent Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) rental market report.

PUBLIC HEARING #2 - APPLICATION FOR A LIQUOR PRIMARY LICENCE AT 1515 JOHNSTON ROAD (LL 21-016)

PURPOSE:

3 Dogs Brewing (doing business as “Taps on Johnston”) has applied for a Liquor Primary Licence to replace their existing brewery (manufacturer’s) license and lounge endorsement at 1515 Johnston Road.  The Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB) requires a Council resolution on applications for new liquor primary licences. The proposed hours of liquor service in the application are from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. from Friday to Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. from Sunday to Tuesday, and 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. from Wednesday to Thursday. The proposed person capacity is 149 persons (an increase from the 110 person capacity under the current licence), as the business has taken over adjacent commercial space and can re-use space where manufacturing equipment was previously located.
