101-977 Langford Parkway

The City of Langford is considering a 36-month Temporary Use Permit renewal (TUP26-0003) for Flight Cannabis Co. at 101-977 Langford Parkway, a non-medical cannabis retail store that has operated continuously at this location since August 2020. The store is located in a commercial plaza along Langford Parkway and falls under The Truffles Group, an established Vancouver Island cannabis retailer with multiple locations. Council is being asked to issue the permit at this meeting; a previous TUP for the same unit was noticed in 2021 under file TUP20-0002, indicating this is at least a second renewal. Langford has relied on temporary use permits to authorize cannabis retail since legalization, using three-year terms as a mechanism to periodically reassess community fit and compliance. The renewal of an existing operator with no reported enforcement history is consistent with that approach and unlikely to generate council debate. The permit secures the commercial tenancy through at least mid-2029 and does not involve new construction, store relocation, or exterior changes that would trigger development permit review. For the local development context, the item reinforces that cannabis retail remains an actively managed land use in Langford rather than an as-of-right commercial category, which means any new entrant seeking a storefront in the municipality would still face a TUP process. No policy shift toward permanent zoning for cannabis retail is indicated in the current application. The business can continue operating under the new permit if approved; the security and compliance record of an established operator under The Truffles Group reduces the likelihood of conditions beyond standard operating hour restrictions and provincial licensing compliance.

A development permit application for a cannabis retail store at 101-977 Langford Parkway, submitted by Flight Cannabis Co., was considered by Langford Council on May 19, 2026. The outcome of the application is not yet known.
