In a report to council, the city’s land development services division wrote that the city recently received an inquiry regarding a possible cannabis retail store, to be located in the 1100-block of Sixth Street, on the truck route and near the downtown area. When the cannabis retail bylaw was first established by the city in 2018, stores were limited to commercial areas within arterial roads: Kensington Avenue, King Street, Fourth Street and a portion of 13th Avenue. The affected portion of Sixth Street is similar to those roads for traffic, the report from land development said. The bylaw also says retailers could be no closer than 200 metres from a school, which would not be an issue for this application. The store has to be clearly visible from the roadway and it has to be conformant with the city’s character and appearance requirements.
