The applicant applied for an additional licensed area for an outdoor patio with a capacity of 48 persons.
Local residents and the condominium corporation objected to the application, citing significant noise issues from the existing indoor premises and concerns that a patio would exacerbate the problem.
The Board heard evidence from acoustic experts for both sides and reviewed the history of noise mitigation efforts by the applicant.
The Board found that the objectors did not meet their onus to demonstrate that issuing the licence would not be in the public interest.
The application was approved subject to strict conditions, including no music on the patio, mandatory security personnel, and restricted hours for the sale and service of alcohol.
