That Report PD-22-84 be received; and 2. That the Liquor Licence Board of Ontario be advised that the Town of Newcastle has no objection to the elimination of bedroom facilities and that the reclassification of the premises from "Hotel" to "Tavern" would not contravene the provisions of the Town 's Zoning By-laws provided the use of the premises include a Dining Lounge. i . . .2 REPORT NO. : PO-22-84 (REVISED) Page 2 BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: * On December 22, 1983 Planning Staff received the attached correspondence from the Liquor Licence Board of Ontario advising that the Queens Hotel , located at the corner of King and Church Streets, Newcastle Village, has made application for a reclassification from a "Hotel " to a "Tavern" and to eliminate guest bedroom accommodations. In reviewing this matter, staff note that in May, 1981 , the Queens Hotel had made application for reclassification to the Liquor Licence Board. The Board was advised by the Town of Newcastle Council that a rezoning application would be required in order to permit the use of lands for a "Tavern" , if the existing guest bedroom accommodations were to be eliminated. (copies of previous correspondence and reports * regarding this matter have been attached for the Committee' s information. ) Staff noted previously, that the subject property was zoned "C3-General Commercial " by Zoning By-law 79-44 of the former Village of Newcastle. The specific use of a "Tavern" is not permitted under this zoning classification. However, it was noted that "Hotel " was a permitted use, that may or may not be licenced. The definition of "Hotel" included the provision of sleeping accommodations , in which case , the elimination of such sleeping accommodations which would result in the ultimate use of the lands as a "Tavern" , would not be in conformity with the provisions of the Zoning By-law. This provision of the Zoning By-law has not changed since the request submitted in 1981 . However, staff note that the term "Tavern" , as used by the Liquor Licencing . . .3 REPORT NO. : PO-22-84 (REVISED) Page 3 Board, applies to the class of premises and not the Licence. Premises within this classification may be licensed as a lounge, a lounge and dining lounge or simply a dining lounge. The applicants have indicated that it is their intention to seek both a lounge and a dining lounge licence. That being the case, then a rezoning would not be required since an eating establishment is a permitted use. However, if the premises were operated solely as a lounge, the use would not comply with the Town 's zoning by-law. With respect to the elimination of bedrooms, staff are advised that the present rooms do not meet provincial fire regulations and either have to be brought into conformity, or closed. The applicant is proposing conversion of these rooms to apartments and in terms of community need, staff are of the opinion that such a conversion would be in the best interest of the community. We therefore recommend that no objection be offered to the elimination of these bedroom facilities. Respec s mitted, T.T. .T. Edwards, M.C.I.P.

(416)263-2231 REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF MAY 25, 1981. REPORT NO. : P-103-81 SUBJECT: Liquor Licence Board of Ontario Queen's Hotel, Newcastle Reclassification from "Hotel" to "Tave rn" RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that: 1. This Report be received; and 2. Mr. R. R. Mills, Liquor Licence Board, Licence Officer be forwarded a copy of this Report in reply to his corres- pondence of April 30, 1981; and 3. The Owners of the Queen's Hotel Ltd. be requested to file a rezoning appli-cation in respect of this matter. BACKGROUND & COMMENT: The above-noted correspondence (copies attached) were referred to the Planning and Development Department for review of the applicable zoning as required under the Liquor Licence Act Regulations. As noted in the attached memorandum, the provisions of By-law 79-44 of the Town of Newcastle, do not contemplate the establishment of a "Tavern" on the property, rather the By-law permits a hotel, that may or may not be licenced. Although a substantial change in the use of the property does not appear to be contemplated, a rezoning is required. Staff have drafted the above-noted recommendations, noting that upon rezoning it would be appropriate to provide the Liquor Licence Board with the other information requested (i.e. a comment on the elimin- ation of the bedroom accommodations and a Council resolution in respect of same) .

I would advise, that the property is zoned "C-3 General Commercial " b Restricted Area By-Law No y 79-44 of the former Village of Newcastle. Under the C-3 designation, a "Hotel " is a permitted use, however, a Tavern is not a permitted use. It is the Director of Planning's opinion, that the change in use would require an amendment to the zoning area by-law. With respect to items (b) and (c) , I shall place ILthe I matter on the Planning Committee agenda for consideration and advise You of their decision 1'In-due course, Yours truly, David W.

Smith, M.C.I .P. , Director of Planning DATE: May 12, 1981 SUBJECT: Queen's Hotel, King and Church Streets Newcastle, Ontario With reference to the attached correspondence , Please be advised that the above-mentioned property is zoned "C3-General Commercial" in Restricted Area By-law 79-44 of the former Village of Newcastle. The use of the lands as a "hotel" is permitted under this zoning classification. In addition, "hotel" is defined as "a tourist establishment that consists of one building or two or more connected or adjacent buildings and that throughout all or part of a year cater to the needs of the travelling public by furnishing sleeping accommodations, may or may not be licensed under the Liquor Licence Act, but does not include any other establishment otherwise defined or classified in the By-law. " Therefore, the -elimination of sleeping accommodation, resulting in re-classification as a tavern, would not be in conformity with the zoning by-law as it is presently written.
