Cannabis Cultivation
The updated Official Plan will contain a new policy framework for new cannabis facilities, based on best practices and policy requirements of the County OP.
Policy Directions include:
• New policy to require a zoning by law amendment to establish cannabis cultivation as an agricultural use;
• Required setbacks and minimum separation distances from sensitive uses to ensure land use compatibility ;
• New policy to require that cultivation for industrial or commercial purposes must occur within an enclosed building ;
• New policy to require that new cannabis facilities are subject to site plan control , with oversight on matters such as air quality, environmental impact, traffic, landscaping, lighting, and requiring completion of technical studies.
