Town of Battleford approves cannabis zoning bylaw
The Town of Battleford approved a zoning amendment bylaw for any future potential cannabis retail outlets and grow operations at its meeting Monday.
No one objected at a public hearing before council carried second and third reading of the bylaw.
“We received no objections via telephone or mail,” said Mayor Ames Leslie following council. “Nobody has come down personally and objected to the cannabis bylaw, so at this point it looks like other people are not voicing their opinion, or they were not against anything that was presented by the town.”
The bylaw indicates that a cannabis retail outlet would be permitted in the highway commercial district or as a discretionary use in the downtown district. If an outlet is being considered for the downtown district, it would need council’s approval first before it could go ahead.
