Downtown Decks
April 19, 2004
A business group wants the City to put tighter restrictions on the operation of nightclub patio decks. One proposed deck is causing concern for a neighbouring property owner and now the Downtown Development Commission says it may be time to close all decks downtown by 11:00 pm.
The commission says property owners are now developing the upper floors of commercial properties for residential tenants. Commission chair Bill Mahoney says it's important to recognize the financial investments being made by property owners in the downtown.
Meanwhile, the city's appeals board is urging council to reconsider an earlier decision to allow construction of a deck at another downtown nightclub.
