The staff report for this original consideration is attached as Appendix A with additional background information (note: the subject unit has since been readdressed to 101-945 Reunion Ave). At their Regular Meeting held September 20, 2021, Council re-issued this TUP as well as three other TUPs for non-medical cannabis retail stores at other locations to amend their permitted hours of operation and increase the amount of permitted signage. The TUP expiry term was not extended as part of this application as all locations still had additional time left in their existing terms. An Occupancy Permit for The Original Farm was issued on February 18, 2020. ### COMMENTARY Source pages: 41–42 ## COMMENTARY The owner of The Original Farm wishes to renew TUP19-0002 to allow the business to continue at this location for an additional term of three years.

Staff are not aware of any point of non-compliance with the conditions outlined in the TUP. ### FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Source pages: 41–42 ## FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS None. ### LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Source pages: 41–42 ## LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Pursuant to S. 497 of the Local Government Act, the City may issue a TUP for a period of up to three years.
