The non-conforming would not apply to site #1 unless the town, as part of the proposals changed site one from Agricultural Value Added to Medical Marijuana. If that change is implemented the company is home free and there would not be a challenge from the town in court. In many ways how this site is zoned will speak clearly to whether the town wishes to challenge, as they claim to want to do, the size and scope of operations on that site. If the company must apply for a zoning amendment change the outcome becomes less sure not because of bias but because it is two levels of government which must approve it. The first is the town, the second is the Ontario Municipal Board. Until the town announces the scope of its proposals then it is anyones guess whether CEN is grandfathered in or permissioned it. The process will render all speculation irrelevant at some point.

The process must be transparent and fair, open and honest.
