| Prince Rupert City Council will review comments, if any are received, on April 11th, related to a Liquor Licence Application by the Wheelhouse Brewing Co. for what will be their new home on the waterfront |
There's no indication when they plan to move into the place, but when they do, the Wheelhouse Brewing Company is hoping to have an amended liquor licence to work with as they take up their new digs in the City of Prince Rupert owned facility.
In a Notice posted to the City of Prince Rupert website on Thursday (though an advisory not relayed through the city's Social media stream), the City outlines its receipt of referral from the Liquor and Cannabis Licensing Branch regarding an application by Wheelhouse Brewing Company.
It notes that the details of the request as follows:
The amendment would enable the applicant have a lounge area endorsement license for their new location at the CN Rail Station at 380 Bill Murray Drive.
The location will include indoor service areas including taproom, sunroom and a meeting room for a capacity of 140 and an outdoor patio with a capacity of 25, and licensed hours between 10 am—2 am.

Where exactly is the parking coming from. That was a problem with the original rezoning. The city and council should evaluate this carefully. This will change the parking requirements.
ReplyDeleteThe city will put forward the plan and say parking will be available after the ferry and new dock is built. That is fine wait until the dock is built. There is no room for additional parking for the pub at present time. You cannot remove all park users parking.
Any business plan should include the question: If the venture is a success is there room to grow the business? The Wheelhouse Pub put forward a plan to the city and it was accepted. At the council meeting when it was accepted by the city the pub was given parking to make the venture compliant with city bylaws.
ReplyDeleteNow the pub wants to expand seating which should require more parking. Unless council and the city rolls over and gives up more parking council should fight the increase in seating. I think it was R. Buchan the estimated cost of a parking spot at $12,000.00 per spot.
There should be no more parking for sale in that area.
Any anonymous commenter should ask: would I make this statement in a public forum with my own name attached? If the answer is no, why waste your time?
DeleteShow up. Voice your point of view to council. Or schedule an appointment with senior staff. Write a letter. Send an email. Do something constructive.
I just gave my thoughts to senior staff with the city, also the city at large. Or at least I hope so. Nothing like shining some daylight on things.
DeleteThe city has sometimes two meetings a month to bring up their thoughts.
What do you mean sale the city gave them the park parking!
