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 is no conflict between the Municipal Cannabis Policy Statement Regarding the Location of Proposed Stores for The Corporation of the City of Windsor and the Application for a Cannabis Retail Store Authorization by ‘One Plant Walkerville’ for the site located at 1320 Walker Road.

Potential impacts have been noted by some City Departments, but no conflicts with City policy, direction or applicable law have been raised. Consideration may be given by Council to concerns raised by the Windsor Police Service (Appendix A) and the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit (Appendix B).
