If possible, would like to see an improved landscaping proposal than is
currently in place.

(Note: The landscaping issues can be addressed as part of a future
Development Permit Application for this property.)

CONSIDERATION OF LOCAL ISSUES:

In order to assess this application, the Liquor Control and Licensing
Branch requires the local government's views on the following issues:

1. Proximity of the proposed establishment to other social facilities and
public buildings.

The only other similar use in Downtown Port Coquitlam is the pub located
at the Golden Ears Hotel. Although both facilities are in the Downtown,
they are not on the same street. The proposed pub at the Lighthouse

Restaurant will be on the edge of the Downtown close to areas designated

for future high-density apartment use. Hence, there is tremendous
potential for pedestrian access to the pub.

Traffic, road access and parking availability.

The site is adjacent to a municipal surface parking lot and there is ample
on~street parking in the immediate vicinity. Public transit is also
located very close to the Lighthouse Restaurant.

Noise and appearance of the establishment.

The site is located on a corner and is isolated from residential uses. As
this is a less built-up part of Downtown, the potential for disturbance is

low.

Character of applicant.

The owner of the Lighthouse Restaurant ia a well respected businessman in
the community. The restaurant has long been regarded as a pride of the
City. There is little doubt that the owner will continue to operate an

upstanding establishment.
