Risk Analysis:

Comments to the AGCO must be submitted by the municipality within 15 days. If submissions are not received within this period, they will not be considered. However, the AGCO is the provincial authority in cannabis retail licenses and the City has no recourse if the AGCO issues a license despite any objections made.

Conclusion:

There are no identified conflicts between the Municipal Cannabis Policy Statement Regarding the Location of Proposed Stores for the Corporation of the City of Windsor (Appendix C) and the Application for a Cannabis Retail Store Authorization for the site located at 7833 Tecumseh Road East.

Potential impacts have been noted by some departments, but no conflicts with City Policy direction or applicable law have been raised. Consideration may be given by Council to concerns raised by Community Developments and Health and Impacts and Windsor Police Service.
