Chilliwack golf course seeks liquor primary license, expanded hours
CHILLIWACK — The City of Chilliwack says it has received an application from a Chilliwack golf course that could see the facility’s seating capacity expanded and a liquor primary license established at the facility.
According to the text of a staff report from city staffer Carolyn Wilkinson, a liquor primary structural change application has been received from Meadowlands Golf and Country Club at 47823 Yale Road in Little Mountain. The purpose of the application is to expand the patio, increase capacity and change the allowable hours of operation. Further, the applicant wants to eliminate their food primary licence on the lower level areas and change the establishment to their liquor primary licence (#036608).
The applicant is proposing to have occupant loads of 292 persons including staff. The main floor restaurant will potentially hold 70 persons, 88 on the patio; 92 on the second floor; and 42 on the upstairs patio.
According to comments from Keith Major contained within the staff report, the golf course intends to eliminate the food primary as opposed to just removing the lower-level food primary area and the lower-level exterior patio, and “change the entire establishment to liquor primary while also extending the liquor primary to include the lower portion of the current food primary, as well as extending the patio outside.”
