FORTHWITH Report The Planning Act allows the municipality to pass an Interim Control By-law (ICB) to temporarily prohibit the establishment of a use that is otherwise currently permitted in the Zoning By-law to enable the municipality time to undertake a related study of the subject use. The ICB may be in effect for a maximum period of one year, and by amendment to the by-law, may be extended for an additional one-year period. On February 24, 2020, Council passed ICB 2020-28 to temporarily prohibit the establishment of Cannabis Production Facilities and directed staff to undertake a related study of the subject use and provide recommendations for future direction. The ICB expires on February 24, 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other departmental work commitments, the study of cannabis production facilities has not yet been completed. As such, staff recommends that the ICB be amended to extend the period that it is in effect for an additional one-year period of time, to February 24, 2022, in order to allow completion of the study and Council’s consideration of associated recommendations.
