Efforts are under way to open a new restaurant at 592 - 35th St. in Battleford
An application was made by Ricky Cheung for R & J Enterprises Ltd. (R and J Garden Restaurant) to Battleford council last week.
The applications sought approval for a dwelling unit accessory to the permitted use at the building. It would be integrated as part of the principal building for use of caretakers, owners or managers.
The address, at what is commonly known as the old House of Kwon location, is zoned C2- Highway Commercial, which allows for restaurants.
According to the town development officer’s report, the intention is to put in a licensed family restaurant with Chinese and western cuisine, with hours of operation being Monday through Sunday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
The property was posted Dec. 23 and notice was given to properties within a 75-metre radius of the proposed development. Two phone calls were received at Town Hall on the development and it was reported that one resident came in to Town Hall to ask about the type of restaurant and its hours of operation.
