Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the permit for additional rooms could be extended under the need clause of the cantonal Hospitality Act.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The extension was denied because no sufficient need was shown in view of the existing supply of alcohol-serving establishments and the statutory need criteria.
Extrahierte Begründung
Lostorf already had nine alcohol-serving businesses for 2,712 inhabitants, far below the guideline of 400 inhabitants per establishment. In such a marked deviation, only weighty reasons could justify an extension, and the applicants did not establish such reasons.
