A Burnaby city councillor wants to encourage breweries, wine bars, cideries and distilleries to set up shop in town.
Burnaby doesn’t have a brewery row like its neighbours Port Moody and North Vancouver — and that’s a problem, according to one city councillor.He put the gears in motion on June 5 at a council meeting, directing staff to review ways to encourage craft and artisanal small businesses to come to Burnaby.“While doing that, it attracts restaurants, bakeries, and other small businesses — not to mention, it creates an art scene, contributes to the vibrancy of our communities,” he said.
He noted the motion isn’t just for breweries — it includes any craft artisanal manufacturers like cideries, wine bars or distilleries. Ed Kozak, the city’s general manager of planning and development said brewery rows in neighbouring municipalities, particularly Port Moody’s, developed “somewhat organically” but largely because of the removal of “regulatory obstacles.”“And it makes it very difficult for small businesses of all kinds, whether it be distilleries, breweries, you know, tea houses, anything of that nature, that are impacted by zoning — and largely, zoning.
“If there’s an interest for a brewery row or something similar to occur, we get out of the way and let it happen.”
