There are 17 medical marijuana producers lining up to locate in Hamilton, but the city still doesn’t know where the facilities will go and how large they should be.
The city has received 17 letters of intent from potential pot producers who have applied to Health Canada under new rules that open the door to new production facilities.
But on Tuesday, the city’s planning committee still couldn’t decide what kind of size restriction to put on them in rural areas – one of the only powers the city has.
Nine of the applications are for plants in urban areas. Of those, four are in commercial zones, so they won’t be approved, said Ed VanderWindt, director of building services.
On Tuesday, the planning committee voted that when plants locate in urban areas — preferably brownfield sites — there’s no limit on how large they can be. The only stipulation is that the plants must be on lands zoned industrial or business park.
