Background:
The Famous Players Limited Partnership - SilverCity Coquitlam, located at
170 Schoolhouse Street, has applied to the Liquor Control and Licensing
Branch (LCLB) for a Liquor Primary Licence for its VIP Lounge and Cinemas.

adults attending various movie screenings in specific areas of the theatre
complex. The details of their application are as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
They are proposingto licence the existing Food Primary licensed
restaurant / lounge area, 5 theatres within the complex and the
adjoining corridor
The proposed licenced area is separate and apartfrom the unlicenced
portion of the building and access to the area would be through a single
designated and supervised VIP entrance.
Entrance to licenced areas and liquor service would be restricted to
adult persons who purchase a ticket to watch a movie.
In addition to service to the lounge, service to the theatre seats would
be permitted from thirty minutes prior to the start of commercials until
the beginning of the film screening.
Patrons would not be able to take any alcoholic beverages from the
lounge to any unlicenced lobby or theatre areas.
Hours of liquor service requested are from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.
Monday through Sunday {seven days a week) and. In accordance with
LCLB policy, would commence one hour prior to a film screening and
end one hour after the event.
Discussion:
The Liquor Control and Licensing Branch issues licences in accordance
the Liquor Control and Licensing Act and Regulations.
with
The LCLB requests a resolution from the local government when an
establishment applies for a Liquor Primary Licence. As with changes to
existing Food Primary Licences (i.e. extension of hours of liquor service) the
Liquor Control and Licensing Act and Regulations requires local governments
to consider and comment on all new Liquor Primary Licences. Local
governments are asked to give consideration to the following regulatory
criteria:
•
•
the location of the establishment;
the proximity of the establishment to other social or recreational
facilities and public buildings;
File S: 09-3710-02/000/2012-1 Doc #: 1302434.V1
Page 3
September 10, 2012
the person capacity and hours of liquor service of the establishment;
the number and market focus or clientele of liquor primary
establishments within a reasonable distance of the proposed
location;
the impact of noise on the community in the immediate vicinity of
the establishment; and
the impact on the community If the application is approved.
Local governments are required to conduct a public process to gather input
on these matters from nearby residents if the local government considers
t h a t t h e Licence may affect them. Subsequently, Council may adopt a
resolution that summarizes the community Input, the public consultation
method used and Council's comment and recommendations regarding the
application.
At their Regular Meeting on July 19, 2012, Council gave initial consideration
to the application by Famous Players Limited Partnership and directed that a
public consultation process be undertaken In order to gather input from
nearby residents. Following Is an analysis of, and comments on, the
application and review criteria.
Location of Subject Establishment - Site Characteristics
SilverCity Coquitlam is located at 170 Schoolhouse Street. The property is
zoned CS-1 Service Commercial which permits cocktail lounge, public house
and restaurant uses. The Official Community Plan land use designation is
also C S - l Service Commercial.
Land use and zoning of the properties t o t h e North of the subject
establishment is Mobile Home Park, Industrial and Service Commercial

Proximity to other Social or Recreational Facilities and Public Buildings
There are several social and recreational facilities and public buildings
within a 1.0 km radius:
• Place de Arts
• Mackin Park
• Place Maillardville
• Millside Elementary School
• Rochester Park.
The applicant submits that the Liquor Primary Licence will not negatively
impact on these facilities / public buildings forthe following reasons:
• The licencing being requested is not for a pub or cabaret venue;
• Theatre facilities in the Province generally do not Impact negatively on
nearby social facilities and public buildings;
• Liquor service will end one hour after a film and the closing hour for
liquor service requested is 1 a.m. and therefore Is not a late night venue;
• Liquor service will be an added amenity to the primary purpose of
entertainment;
• Liquor will only be served in conjunction with the scheduled screenings
of movies;
• The establishment management will not permit the facility to Impact
negatively on the community and the nearby social facilities and public
buildings; and
• The Liquor Primary Licenced area is inside the existing theatre complex
and is geographically removed from the social facilities and public
buildings.
Person Capacity and Proposed Hours of Liquor Service
The applicant is proposing to licence the existing Food Primary Licenced
restaurant / lounge area, five (5) theatres within the complex and the
adjoining corridor for a total person capacity of 591.
Hours of liquor service requested are 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m., Monday
through Sunday (seven days a week) and liquor service and sales would
commence one hour prior to a film screening and end one hour after the
event (as per LCLB directive 12-02) but no later than 1:00 a.m.

September lO, 2012
Number and Market Focus or Clientele of Liquor Primary Establishments
within a Reasonable Distance
While there are no Liquor Primary establishments within a 1.0 km radius,
there are other Liquor Primary Licenced establishments within a reasonable
distance which include:
• French Quarter Pub
• Great Canadian Casino
• John B. Pub
• Planet Ice (Boomers)
• Red Robinson Theatre
• TNB Nightclub
• Woody's Pub.
However, as liquor service will be for patrons attending scheduled film
screenings and paying a fee for the VIP cinemas to watch a movie, it is not
felt that they will be competing with existing Liquor Primary Licenced
establishments.
Views of Nearby Residents, Businesses and Property Owners
To satisfy the provincial requirements for gathering the Input of local
residents. Council, In July 2003, adopted a policy outlining the public
consultation process to be followed in relation to applications for changes to
existing liquor licences. In the absence of a specific policy relating to
applications for new liquor licences, this same process was utilized. In
accordance with this policy, the following notification requirements were
completed:
1.
notification to businesses and property owners located within 400
feet of the applicant's premises, inviting written input by Friday,
August 31, 2012 (a total of 499 letters were sent); and
2.
placement of three consecutive advertisements in the Tri City News
(August, 10, August 15, and August 17, 2012) advising of the
application and inviting written input by the August 31^^ deadline
(Attachment 3).
In response to the public consultation process the City received 10 comment
forms and written submissions by the August 31'* deadline. These comment
forms and submissions have been attached to this report for Council's
review (Attachment 4). Of the 10 submissions received, 4 (40%) were in
support of the Application and 6 (60%) were opposed. Reasons indicated for
not supportingthe Application include:

•
the proximity of existing licenced establishments
concerns related to serving alcohol in an establishment frequented by
children and families
safety and security concerns
concerns related to potential consumption of alcohol by minors
concerns that intoxicated people leaving the establishment will cause a
nuisance.
Impacts on the Community
Potential for noise
As noted above, the establishment is located in a mixed commercial and
residential area already impacted by ambient noise from such uses. There
are residential properties to the North of the establishment (mobile home
park).
Traffic
There is adequate parking in the area, and it is felt that the application will
not significantly impact traffic or parking in the area as the patron limit will
not Increase from the current occupant load.
Potential impacts on the community
Minimal concerns were expressed in relation to the application and given
the fact that the licence is event driven and liquor will only be served in
conjunction with the scheduled screenings of movies, and the fact that
entrance to licenced areas will be restricted to adult persons who purchase a
ticket to watch a film, staff feel thatthe impact to the community would be
negligible. In addition, Famous Players has indicated that they will have in
place the same monitoring / control policies for the proposed licenced area
that is utilized in their other licenced facilities (i.e. In Ontario) which they
have been operating without a single alcohol related incident (see page 3 of
the Applicant Summary contained in Attachment 2 for details on Famous
Players' monitoring / control policies).
Other considerations
As part of the regular application review process, staff consulted with the
RCMP and Bylaw Enforcement Division, both of whom advise that there are
no complaints on file or concerns in relation to the operation of the
business.

Next Steps
As noted above, the LCLB requires that Council adopt a resolution
summarizing its official position on the application. A resolution must be
forwarded t o t h e LCLB within 90 days of the City receiving notice of the
application (the deadlinefor this application is October 10, 2012). It is being
recommended that Council now give consideration to the public comments
received regarding the application, as well as to the nature of the request
and the potential Impact on the community, and that a resolution either
supporting or not supportingthe application, along with this report, be
forwarded to the LCLB to help inform their decision.
Financial Implications:
There are no financial implications.
Conclusion:
The LCLB has requested thatthe City of Coquitlam, as the pertinent local
government, considerthe application for a Liquor Primary Licence for
Famous Players Limited Partnership - SilverCity Coquitlam and provide a
resolution with comments and recommendations to the LCLB. It is now in
order for Council to considerthe public input and make a recommendation
to the LCLB.

Page 2
July 19, 2012
Strategic Goal:
The initiatives outlined in this report support the City's corporate objectives
of enhancing community safety and enhancing economic opportunity.
Background:
Liquor Control and Licensing Branch Policy Directive No. 12-02 (Attachment
l ) has removed the previous prohibition on the liquor primary licensing of
movie theatres, meaning that movie theatres (and live-event theatres) in
B.C. are now able to apply for a licence to serve alcohol during the screening
of a film. The changes, which came into effect in April 2012, Include the
following:
•
•
•
Multiplex theatres will be permitted to obtain a liquor licence and
serve alcohol in adult only auditoriums and adjacent lobbies.
Single-screen movie and live-event theatres can apply to serve alcohol
in a lobby where minors are present and to serve liquor in the
auditorium for adult-only screenings or events.
Without receiving prior approval from the Province, live-event
theatres may now show films, broadcasts, or host events for people
of alt ages if no alcohol is served.
As such. Famous Players Limited Partnership has applied to the Liquor
Control and Licensing Branch (LCLB) for a Liquor Primary Licence for their VIP
Lounge and Cinemas to allow for the service of liquor as an additional
amenity for the adults attending various movie screenings at their SilverCity
Coquitlam multiplex theatres (located at 170 Schoolhouse Street). As noted
in the attached "Applicant Summary" (see Attachment 2) Famous Players is
proposing to licence the existing Food-Primary licensed restaurant/lounge
area, five (5) theatres within the complex and the adjoining corridor, for a
total person capacity of 591. In addition to service in the lounge, service to
the theatre seats would be permitted from thirty minutes prior to the start
of commercials until the beginning of the film screening. Patrons would not
be permitted to take any alcoholic beverages from the lounge to any
unlicensed lobby or theatre areas. Entrance to licensed areas and liquor
service would be restricted to adult persons who purchase a ticket to watch
a film/broadcast.
Hours of liquor service requested are from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. Monday
through Sunday evenings (seven days a week) and liquor service and sales
File #: 09-3710-02/000/2012-1 Doc #: 1279750.V1
Page 3
July 19, 2012
would commence one hour prior to a film screening and end one hour after
the event (as per LCLB Policy Directive 12-02).
As with changes to existing Food-Primary Liquor Licences (I.e. extension of
hours of liquor service or Patron Participation Entertainment Endorsement)
the Liquor Control and Licensing Act and Regulations requires local
governments to provide comment on all new Liquor Primary Licences. Local
governments are asked to give consideration to the following regulatory
criteria:
•
•
•
•
•
•
the location of the establishment;
the proximity of the establishment to other social or recreational
facilities and public buildings;
the person capacity and hours of liquor service of the establishment;
the number and market focus or clientele of liquor primary
establishments within a reasonable distance of the proposed
location;
the impact of noise on the community in the immediate vicinity of
the establishment; and
the Impact on the community if the application is approved.
Local governments are required to conduct a public process to gather the
input on these matters from nearby residents if the local government
considers that the amendment may affect them. Subsequently, Council may
adopt a resolution that summarizes the community input, the public
consultation method used and Council's comment and recommendations
regarding the application. Alternatively, a local government may decide to
not provide comments or recommendations on new Liquor Primary Licence
applications, in which case It Is required to pass a resolution indicatingthat
it does not wish to provide comment on the application.
Public Consultation Process
City Council has adopted the following Public Consultation Process for
changes to existing liquor licence applications:
"That Council consider all applications for a permanent change to an existing
liquor licence on a case-by-case basis and, if deemed necessary, direct that the
following public consultation process be implemented:
File #: 09-3710-02/000/2012-1 Doc #r 1279750.V1
Page 4
July 19, 2012
(1)
notification to residents and property owners located within 400feet
of the applicant's premises inviting input by a specified date with
respect to potential noise, traffic and community impacts of the
change to the existing liquor licence;
(2)
placement of three consecutive advertisements in the local newspaper
advising of the application and inviting written input by a specified
date with respect to potential noise, traffic and community impacts of
the change to the existing liquor licence;
(3)
provided that the applicant must first submit its application in a form
satisfactory to the City Clerk and remit a fee of $1,100.00, which fee
represents the estimated cost to the City of conducting the foregoing
public consultation process."
While the above policy applies to applications for changes to existing liquor
licenses, in the absence of a specific policy relating to applications for new
liquor licences (the City has considered only one such application over the
last several years - that for the Great Canadian Casino), staff is
recommendingthatthe same process be utilized. Staff will address the
need for a specific poticy/proccess as part of a future report to Council
regarding the City's public consultation process (including fees charged) for
liquor licence applications.
Summary:
As per usual practice, the LCLB has requested t h a t t h e City of Coquitlam, as
the local government, consider the application by Famous Players Limited
Partnership and provide a resolution with comments and recommendations
to the LCLB. It is now in order for Council to either exercise their option to
not comment on the application or direct that a public consultation process
be undertaken in order to gather the input of local residents relative to the
application. Should Council direct that a public consultation process be
undertaken, staff will report back to Council once the process has been
completed, summarizing the feedback received from the public, as well as
the RCMP and Bylaw Division. At that time Council will need to considerthe
public input and make a recommendation to the LCLB.

Licensed live event theatres may show films or broadcasts and may have live all-ages
events without liquor service without having to seek approval or provide notice to the
Liquor Control and Licensing Branch.

Re:
Application Summary for Review - New Liquor Primary Licence
Applicant: Famous Players Limited Partnership
Proposed Establishment Name: VIP Lounge and Cinemas
Proposed Address: 170 Schoolhouse Street, Coquitlam, BC V3K 4X9
The applicant, Famous Players Limited Partnership, has applied to the Liquor Control and
Licensing Branch (the Branch) for a liquor primary licence, to be located at 170 Schoolhouse
Street in Coquitlam. The Branch has completed the initial review of the application to
determine applicant suitability and eligibility of the establishment type for licensing. As part of
that process, a Liquor Inspector has completed a site visit at the proposed establishment
location.
Having determined applicant eligibility, we are now proceeding to the Site and Community
Assessment (SCA) stage which is the stage for local government input.
The City of Coquitlam is requested to consider the application and provide the Branch with a
resolution which includes their comments and recommendation with respect to the licence
application. To assist with Council's assessment of the application, the Branch has prepared a
summary report for review and consideration by Council. The summary report is based on
information provided by the applicant and by Branch staff.
Council has 90 days to either provide comments to the general manager, or to advise that they
wish to "opt out" of the process. Either must be in the form of a Council resolution. Additional
time over the 90 days can be approved by the Branch if the request is received in writing prior to
the end of the 90 day period.
Upon receipt of a Council Resolution, the Branch will review the Resolution to determine if all
the regulatory criteria have been met in accordance with section 10 of the Liquor Control and
Licensing Regulation and; if recommended by local government, assess whether the granting of
the licence would be contrary to the public interest.

of the Liquor Control and Licensing Regulation.
Any report presented by an advisory body or sub-committee to the council or

ATTACHMENT 3
Sample Resolution Comments for a Liquor-Primary Licence Application
The following are examples that illustrate the type of comments that local government and First Nations
might provide to demonstrate they have taken into consideration each of the criterion in reaching their
final recommendation. Comments may be a mix of positive, negative and neutral observations relevant
to each criterion. The final recommendation is the result of balancing these 'pros and cons'.
The list is not intended to illustrate every possible comment as the variations are endless, given the
wide range of applications and local circumstances.
It is important that the resolution include the comment and not refer to a staff report, as the general
manager cannot suppose that the local government considered all the criteria unless comment on each
criterion is specifically addressed in the resolution itself.
Local government or First Nation staff may wish to contact the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch for
assistance on drafting the content of a resolution before it is presented to local government or First
Nation to avoid resolutions that do not comply with the regulations.
(a) The location of the establishment:
The location is in a commercial area that is removed from nearby residences and is suitable for
a late night entertainment venue where some street noise at closing time can be anticipated.
(b) The proximity of the establishment to other social or recreational facilities and public buildings:
The only nearby social, recreational and public buildings do not conflict with the operation of a
late night entertainment venue.
- or The proposed location is across a lane from a church with an attached retirement facility and
church hall routinely used for youth group gatherings. The proximity of the proposed
establishment is not considered compatible with the existing facilities.
(c) The person capacity and hours of liquor service of the establishment
The maximum person capacity of 250 with closing hours of 2:00 a.m. Tuesday through
Saturday and midnight on Sunday is acceptable. A larger capacity or later hours is not
supported given the few number of police on duty at that time.
(d) The number and market focus or clientele of liquor-primary licence establishments within a
reasonable distance of the proposed location:
The existing establishments are large public house establishments that focus on exotic
entertainment or are nightclubs that attract patrons 19 to 25 years of age. The proposed
establishment is a small local pub style facility with an extensive menu and is designed to
appeal to couples wanting a quiet adult venue for socializing in their community. There are no
other (or few other) facilities with a similar focus.
(e) The impact on the community in the immediate vicinity of the establishment:
The establishment is not expected to negatively affect traffic patterns and noise is not
expected to be an issue because [of the small size and early hours] - or - [the applicant
has agreed to various noise baffling strategies to ensure the neighbours are not disturbed
by late night music]. The applicant has met the requirements of the zoning bylaw with
regard to road access and parking.
(f) The impact on the community if the application is approved:
If the application is approved, the impact is expected to be positive in that it will support the
growth in tourism and offer a new social venue for residents.
The Council's comments on the views of residents are as follows:
The views of residents within a half mile* of the proposed establishment were gathered by way
of *written comments that were received in response to a public notice posted at the site and
newspaper advertisements placed in two consecutive editions of the local newspaper.
Residents were given 30 days from the date of the first newspaper advertisement to provide
their written views. Residents were also given an opportunity to provide comments at the
public meeting of Council held on March 18, 200X.
A total of 63 responses were received from businesses and residents. Of the responses
received, 21 were in support of the application citing the creation of additional jobs and a new
entertainment venue for the area as their primary reasons. A total of 42 letters were received
in opposition to the application. The primary reason cited by those in opposition was the
proposed closing hours of 4 am. A number of business residents in the area also cited the
lack of parking as an area of concern.
The following three examples illustrate ways Council may complete their comments on the
views of residents based upon the preceding fact pattern.
1. Council agrees that a 4 am closing time for this establishment would not be appropriate
and therefore recommends that the establishment have a closing time of 2 am to be
consistent with the other licensed establishments in the area. Council does not agree
with the parking concerns raised by some of the local businesses as the proposed
establishment's peak operating hours will be after the surrounding businesses have
closed.
Council recommends that a liquor licence be issued with hours of operation ceasing at 2
am. Council believes that the majority of residents in the area support the issuance of
the licence provided the closing hours are no later than 2 am. The establishment will
create new jobs and provide a new entertainment venue that is needed in this area.
-or 2. There are 6450 residents within the half mile radius of the proposed establishment.
Notwithstanding that there is a two to one ratio of opposed residents to residents that
support the application Council is of the view that the 42 residents who are in opposition
represent a small proportion of the overall population that may be affected by this
establishment. Council also notes that frequently only residents who oppose a proposal
are the ones that respond; consequently Council is of the view that the rest of the
residents are not opposed to issuance of a liquor licence for this establishment.
Council recommends that a liquor licence be issued with hours of operation ceasing at 4
am. Council believes that the majority of residents in the area support the issuance of
the licence. The establishment will create new jobs and provide a new entertainment
venue that is needed in this area.
-or3. Based upon the input received by residents within a half mile of the proposed
establishment there is a two to one ratio of opposed residents to residents that support
the application. The opposition to this establishment comes from both homeowners and
businesses. Council is of the view that with both the residential and business
communities' opposition to this proposed establishment that the issuance of a licence
for this establishment would be contrary to the community standard for this area.
Despite the potential creation of additional jobs and a new entertainment venue for the
area Council is unable to support the issuance of a liquor licence for.this establishment.
Council recommends that a licence not be issued.
* The local government or First Nation determines the appropriate area to be included
and the method for gathering those views

People should be able to sit through a 2 hour movie without alcohol.
There is a pub across the street they can go to if they are that desperate.
It's bad enough at sporting events where it takes only a few drunk idiots to spoil an outing for

Subject: Reply to Famous Players Limited Partnership Liquor Primary Licenee Application Notice of Public
Consultation
Dear Clerks Office,
I am in full support of granting the Liquor Primary Licence and its details to Famous Players
Limited Partnership. I was made aware of the request through reading the Tri-City News,
August 17th. 2012 edition.
As Coquitlam continues to develop, its important that the city have the right services for its
community. This includes entertainment not only for family and children, but for aduhs as welL
Famous Players Cinemas in Coquitlam is an ideal location for nightlife activity, given its
distance from residential areas. It also is a good alternative to enjoy staying within the city versus
making the effort to coordinate a means of transportation to Vancouver and back (If there is a
designated driver, parking is difficult If by taxi, travelling through multiple cities is expensive).
The importance of allowing the VIP theatres within the complex and adjoining areas is the
increase in entertainment and enjoyment the experience brings (Which is in essence, what such
an establishment sells). To not be able to enjoy your purchased drink with your purchased ticket
simply because of obscure licensing laws you may or may not be aware of is annoying red tape.
Furthermore, one should only assume that if the item is available for purchase within the theatre,
you should be able to use that purchase while you consume what the theatre has provided (ie. the
movie). You would not order a popcorn, make sure you finished it out in the lobby, and then
walk into the movie.
If my assumption is correct, part of the concern for this licence is how it will disrupt Coquitlam's
current community. But by allowing Coquitlam to develop into more than simply a holding
space for bodies, and into a city that provides for all ages of its community, it can truly become a
thriving metropolis. Vancouver no longer need be the only source of entertainment and a
detraction to Coquitlam's growing economy.
Of course, this is only one licencing law, not an overhaul to the services provided within
Coquitlam. But it is another step to support Coquitlam's rapid growth and allow it to be a city
unto itself, not a tab attached to the outskins of Vancouver. I hope that this early morning
written, possibly too enthusiastic of an email conveys that myself and many others like me who
have grown up in Coquitlam are in full support, and that we will be taken into consideration.
Thank you very much for your time and all the best.
