Council recently voted to create additional separation distances for cannabis stores. The decision followed an earlier recommendation by the Standing Policy Committee on Planning and Urban Development. You can learn more about the existing separation distances here.

The new separation distances will encourage the Development Authority to not approve cannabis stores that are located within 30 meters of a Payday Loan, Pawn Shop or Place of
Worship and within 10 meters of a Child Care Service. The Development Authority is not required to apply this guideline in all cases, but should consider the concentration of these uses within an area.
