The applicant applied for a liquor licence for a restaurant and bar.
The City of Toronto intervened to object, citing a history of liquor and criminal violations by previous tenants at the same location and an over-concentration of licensed premises in the area.
The Board found that the objectors failed to meet the onus of proving that granting the licence would not be in the public interest.
The Board noted the applicant's experience, the lack of police problems since the applicant took over, and the applicant's willingness to accept conditions.
The application was approved subject to conditions including restricted hours and security camera requirements.
