This puts the sale of Recreational MJ on par with packies in Town.

District Bylaw included the former as default times if hours of operation were not included in a Special Permit. The previous Sunday hours were due to concerns from a church that occupied a former single </span>family<span style="font-size:12pt;"> house near the site. The church then sold their property to the marijuana business which now occupies the prior sanctuary.

<p class="yiv0015831945MsoNormal">I recently dove into the state regs for staff report on a proposed ordinance amendment to expand hours of operation for retail here. As far as I could find, there are no hour or day restrictions on adult-use retail sales. Delivery and social
consumption have some hour restrictions. Other than that, the state regs defer to municipal restrictions.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="yiv0015831945MsoNormal">The table on page 2 of the staff report summarizes some local retail hours, which seem to follow local package store hours for the most part:
