28, 1997 POLICY STATEMENT: Based on the Provincial Government’s Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (LCLB) requirements as outlined in the guide “The Role of Local Government in the
Provincial Liquor Licensing Process”, applicants for a Class D (Neighbourhood Public House) license are required to obtain a Council resolution which determines community opinion. The
methods for determining this opinion are noted below: · property signs and newspaper ads that invite affected individuals to submit written comments over a set period of time; · public
hearings similar to those conducted for a rezoning following the standards set out in the Municipal Act, and · referendum, mail (card) survey, mail survey or phone survey conducted
by an independent polling company. Based on the nature and location of an individual application, Council may choose one or all of the above methods. To assist residents in forming
their opinions, the method(s) employed must provide local residents with the following information about the proposed establishment: · the type of license; · the proposed patron capacity;
· the proposed hours of operation, and · the type of liquor to be sold. It may be possible for Council to reach a conclusion about the views of local residents from the results of a
Public Hearing to consider a Zone Amending Bylaw for the land upon which the Neighbourhood Public House will be located. If Council uses a Public Hearing for this purpose, it must ensure
that the details of the proposed establishment outlined above (type of license, proposed capacity, hours of operation and type of liquor to be sold) are made public during the Public
Hearing process.
