BPS-01-036 - LIQUOR LICENCE APPLICATION - FRANKIES PUB & EATERY, 273 KING
STREET WEST
The Committee was in receipt of Business and Planning Services Department report BPS-01-
036, dated March 2, 2001, recommending that, subject to certain conditions, Council take no
action to oppose the application for a liquor licence by Frankies Pub & Eatery for the main
floor, 273 King Street West. It is pointed out in the report that this location was the subject of
an earlier report considered by Council, who at that time decided not to object to the issuance
of a liquor licence for Milano's Caf~ subject to certain voluntary conditions being requested
and the filing of certain pre-conditions with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission. Staff also
noted in the report that the current application is proposing a capacity in the range of 100
people, which is lower than that proposed in the application by Milano's Cafe; therefore, this
application actually decreases the number of licensed seats in the vicinity.
