Sintesi Omnilex

The court held that the appeal no longer had a current interest as to the 1997 authorization because a request for 1998 was foreseeable. On the merits, however, it found that the pedestrian traffic at the site was modest and that the terrace should therefore be authorized. It also relied on equal treatment, noting that similar terraces had already been approved in the Pâquis area.

Massima Omnilex

LEDP art. 19; restaurant terrace on the public domain; current interest and equal treatment. The requirement of a current practical interest may cease where the contested authorization concerns a period that will imminently be replaced by a new application. A terrace on public land must be admitted where the actual burden on pedestrian circulation is limited and the refusal would create unequal treatment compared with comparable terraces already authorized in the same area. Consid. 2-3.

Résumé

Dès lors que la recourante sollicitera vraisemblablement une autorisation en 1998, l'intérêt actuel au recours concernant l'autorisation pour 1997 peut être abandonné. Etant donné que le trafic de piétons à cet endroit est modeste, une terrasse doit être autorisée. De plus, la terrasse en cause est similaire à d'autres terrasses qui ont été autorisées aux Pâquis.
