What the RACJ Requires
For any new liquor license application or occupancy load change, the RACJ requires a detailed floor plan of the spaces concerned, approved by an engineer, an architect, a professional technologist, or the municipality where the establishment is located.
Occupancy load — the maximum number of people who may be admitted simultaneously into a room or onto a terrace — is determined according to the requirements of the Quebec Safety Code, Chapter VIII – Building, which is based on the National Fire Code of Canada (2010), with Quebec-specific amendments.
The calculation takes several factors into account:
- The type of layout for each space (seated restaurant, standing bar, dance floor, terrace, reception hall)
- The area of each zone covered by the license
- The applicable area-per-person ratio based on use (for example, 0.60 m² per person for a "standing bar" or "dance floor" layout)
- Evacuation capacity, calculated separately based on the width and number of exits, to confirm the exits can evacuate the proposed number of occupants
- The primary use retained when the same space serves multiple purposes at different times — the ratio generating the highest occupant count must then be used
What the Floor Plan Must Include
- A scaled plan, with dimensions (lengths and widths) clearly indicated
- A clearly traced outline of each zone covered by the license
- The layout of the entire premises, including relevant adjacent areas (washrooms, corridors, stairwells), traced in a distinct color if they must be included in the license
- The location of emergency exits and emergency lighting fixtures
- Exact correspondence between the zones shown on the plan and those described in the license application
Why Radar Inspection
- Reduce processing delays for your application — an incomplete or poorly prepared file leads to back-and-forth with the RACJ
- Avoid a refusal or a miscalculated capacity, which could needlessly limit your authorized occupancy
- Ensure compliance with the fire safety code, particularly for evacuation capacity
- Obtain a document approved by a recognized professional, as required by the Régie
- Properly plan your layout before opening, based on your actual occupancy needs
