2260 Alberni Highway, Coombs
The public engagement period has concluded. Thank you to all for your participation.
The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) has received a request for a resolution for a proposed Non-Medical Cannabis Retail Store Licence. The applicant intends to establish a provincially licensed store within an existing building on property located at 2260 Alberni Highway in Coombs. The subject property is currently zoned Commercial 2 (C-2) in "Regional District of Nanaimo Electoral Area F Zoning and Subdivision Bylaw No. 1285, 2002" (Bylaw 1285).
The legal sale of cannabis is considered a retail use and the existing C-2 zoning on the property includes 'Retail Store' as a permitted principal use (see Document Library). In order to proceed with the Non-Medical Cannabis Retail Store, the applicant has requested a resolution of support from the Regional Board to be provided to the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch as part of the ongoing application process with the Province.
