     an increase to the southern beer garden by an additional 46m2 as detailed in figure 5.
     a playground in the north western corner of the northern beer garden with an area of 78m2
        as detailed in figure 6.

Southern Beer Garden
The proposed expansion of the southern outdoor beer garden is based on the applicant’s
interpretation that the upper-level hallways constitute a ‘common foyer’ and are therefore excluded
from the defined term ‘Use Area, which details car parking requirements for hotels.
While the applicant contends that these upper-level hallways meet the definition of a common
foyer, this interpretation is not supported. However, given that car parking for the accommodation
units has been assessed at a rate of one space per unit, it is considered reasonable to exclude the
upper-level hallway area from the Use Area calculation for the purpose of car parking.
The applicant’s request is supported.
