The amendment passed first reading from city council during Monday’s meeting, which is part of an application proposing construction of a pub and kitchen, along with a micro-brewery and micro-distillery facing south at 806 and 808 Baker Street.

The second floor of the proposed building would also contain a two bedroom apartment facing north on an alleyway.
