WHEREAS an establishment located at 332 Wilbrod
Street currently named Kwon’s Chicken House (The) to become The Giggling Jerks
has submitted an application (File Number: 25592, Application Number: 209333)
to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario for a liquor licence;
WHEREAS the zoning of municipal address 332
Wilbrod is R4T[1509], it is located in a Residential Fourth Density Zone, the
purpose of which is to allow "a wide mix of residential building forms
ranging from detached to low rise apartment dwellings";
WHEREAS the exception [1509], put in place in
1979, allowed also for a restaurant to operate at this address, which would not
otherwise be allowed under residential zoning;
WHEREAS this exemption allows for a use which
is highly uncharacteristic of this dense, predominantly residential and
historic neighbourhood;
WHEREAS Since the exemption [1509] is in
place and a restaurant is a permitted use, it was necessary in the past
for the AGCO to include certain conditions with regards to the operation and
use of the restaurant's liquor licence to prevent the impending restaurant from
inadvertently operating as a bar;
AND WHEREAS there have been objections
expressed by the community as well as enforcement concerns related to numerous
noise complaints recorded against this location when it had operated as a
licensed establishment in the past;
AND WHEREAS clause 6(2)(h) of the Liquor
Licence Act provides that an applicant is entitled to be issued a license to
sell liquor except if the license is not in the public interest having regard
to the needs and wishes of the residents of the municipality in which the
premises are located;
AND WHEREAS Section 7.1 of Ontario Regulation
719, under the Liquor Licence Act, provides that “the board of the Alcohol and
Gaming Commission of Ontario shall consider a resolution of the council of the
municipality, in which are located the premises for which a person makes an
application to sell liquor or holds a license to sell liquor, as proof of the
needs and wishes of the residents of the municipality for the purposes of
clause 6(2) (h) of the Act”;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council
petition the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario to indicate that it
approves of the operation as a restaurant but to insure that it does not
operate as a bar, the following restrictions be imposed:
1-
Liquor
may not be served prior to 5:00 p.m.
2-
Liquor
may not be served after 11:00 p.m.
3-
No
alcohol may be consumed outside (on a patio or otherwise).
4-
Doors
and windows of the restaurant must remain closed during the hours of liquor
sale (between the hours of 5:00 PM and 11:00 PM).
5-
The
establishment must not have a designated dance floor, DJ or DJ booth and no
live entertainment of any kind.

WHEREAS
the City of Ottawa operates over 1400 units of Domicilary Housing Units;
WHEREAS
the City of Ottawa operates these units on an 80-20 cost sharing ratio with the
province being responsible for 80% and the City being responsible for 20%;
WHEREAS
the recent situation with the Glebe Retirement Residence led to the unfortunate
termination of the private sector arrangement;
WHEREAS
the City assumes full responsibility for the public contracts of the Domicilary
Housing, but without the legislative ability to prevent situations such as the
above from recurring;
WHEREAS
it is undesirable to leave 1400 persons potentially exposed to similar
situations that could result in closure of residential facilities that are
provided to care for those who are not as able to do so for themselves,
THEREFORE
BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Ottawa, through the Mayor’s office, seek
co-operation from the Provincial Government to examine the issues in this
portfolio and to encourage the development of appropriate legislation to
prevent this scenario from further occurrence.
MOTION

Councillor M. McRae
Seconded

WHEREAS the City currently has an existing Telework
policy;
WHEREAS the City employs a significant workforce;
WHEREAS reducing the numbers of City staff in
transit will reduce traffic congestion during rush hours, decrease CO2
emissions and be of benefit to the environment;
WHEREAS the Federal Government and a number of
private sector corporations already encourage the practice of Telework in recognition
of the economic, recruitment and retention benefits;
WHEREAS several
municipalities in Canada have taken a proactive policy stance on Telework as a
key environmental priority;
WHEREAS numerous
reputable studies have proven that teleworking 1 to 3 days per week increases
overall employee productivity by 10 to 20% reducing overtime and related costs;
WHEREAS City Council has directed as part of its
Service Excellence Program that a priority be placed on advancing the community
based mobile workforce initiative with the goal to reduce unnecessary vehicular
travel by staff;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Council direct staff to proceed with
the aggressive implementation of Telework where operationally feasible; and
FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED that Council direct staff to conduct ongoing monitoring and evaluation to compare Telework
results with initial goals and objectives to determine program success and
identify continued challenges; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this initiative proceed within existing
budget allocations.

WHEREAS detours are required for
cyclists during road and pathway construction / maintenance;
WHEREAS regular maintenance is
required on roadways and multi-use off-road pathways;
WHEREAS construction activity can
dramatically impact cycling routes;

the most safe, feasible and direct route is
