The owner of the bar has filed to turn the space into mixed use commercial/residential. He has told the local association that he is planning on selling his liquor license and has apparently refurbished the 2nd floor into aparments. At least one of those apartments is rented out according to anecdotal evidence. The civic is voting against his proposal because we have no proof that he will actually sell the license and because he has shown no consideration for the neighborhood in terms of his other rentals and the overall quality of the tenants he's allowing into his properties. We'll see what happens.
