• From Google Maps, the rear of the store appears to back directly onto a residential property that is openly accessible by pedestrians. This could facilitate trespassing and loitering if not managed.

Property is situated in a relatively busy commercial section fronting busy Tecumseh Road East and backs onto a discreet space with limited observation capability and nearby residences

• The very nature of the business (sales of Cannabis products) warrants a high degree of target hardening security features, above what a more conventional retail business may require, in order to prevent criminal activity from germinating. This should come in the form of higher security locking hardware, high resolution CCTV recording capability, a security alarm system, robust illumination levels and clear instructional signage.

Proposed new retail store has good visibility from both Tecumseh Road East and Lauzon Parkway but there is a discreet pedestrian access to the abutting residential property
