  • Draft Official Plan amendment
  • Cannabis Draft OPA tracked changes
  • Draft Zoning bylaw
  • Fence bylaw
  • Draft Fortification bylaw
  • Draft Cannabis Nuisance bylaw
  • Draft Odour bylaw


The Town of Pelham has initiated amendments to the Official Plan (File no. OP-AM-01-19) and Zoning By-law (File no. AM-07-19) under Sections 22 and 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, to include policies and regulations with respect to cannabis production within the Town. Amendments to the Fence By-law, introduction of a Fortification By-law and a Cannabis Nuisance By-law under the Municipal Act, 2001, R.S.O.2001, c.25 are also proposed. All documents will work together to better manage and control cannabis production facilities in the Town and are intended to address adverse impacts of cannabis production in the Town.

The Draft Official Plan Amendment proposes to:

  • Support legal cannabis production within Good General Agricultural, Specialty Agricultural, and Industrial designations;
  • Require submission of odour and light impact studies for such operations;
  • Require a Zoning By-law Amendment for certain greenhouse operations and all outdoor cannabis production.

The Draft Zoning By-law Amendment proposes to:

  • Permit legal cannabis production, in a structure, in Agricultural (A) and Light Industrial (M1) zones;
  • Set regulations for minimum setbacks from any sensitive land use receptor of 150 metres or as recommended by odour impact analysis, whichever is greater.

Are we getting this right? Your input and feedback is encouraged.  To provide your input:

  • Speak at the public meeting; or
  • Make a written submission for inclusion on the public agenda.  Address it to the Town Clerk and submit by noon, August 30, 2019.

Note: written submissions and comments form part of the public record and may be publicly released.
