As outlined in the City of Windsor's Draft Municipal Cannabis Policy Statement, proposed locations should have consideration for the protection of youth and other vulnerable individuals.

CDHS has reviewed the proposed AGCO Cannabis Store application at 7201 Tecumseh Road East, Unit 104 and has no concerns with the location.

Windsor Fire and Rescue Services

An inspection prior to opening is required to identify the location and quantity of the product and any special hazards.

Planning & Building Department

The parcel located at 7201 Tecumseh Road East, Unit 104 is zoned Commercial CD3.3 which permits the proposed retail store.

Any renovations undertaken must comply with all applicable law, including Cannabis License Act, 2018 regulations, as well as the Building Code Act, 1992 and the Ontario Building Code. Applicants should consult with Development Services staff regarding necessary approvals, permits and inspections.

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.
