Consultation has concluded

Under the previous Development Regulations, there was a regulation in Section 8 “General Site Requirements” that granted Council the authority to allow an Accessory Building for any Permitted or Discretionary Use listed in the zone tables. Under the Envision Development Regulations, an Accessory Building is a defined use and therefore should also be listed in the zone tables as either a Permitted Use or a Discretionary Use, rather than relying on Section 8.

In reviewing the Envision Development Regulations zone tables, it is noted that there are some zones which do not list Accessory Buildings. The proposed amendment will add Accessory Buidling to the following zones:

As a Permitted Use in the following zones:

  • Commercial Downtown (CD) Zone;
  • Commercial Downtown Mixed (CDM) Zone;
  • Commercial Downtown Mixed 2 (CDM2) Zone;
  • Industrial Special (IS) Zone; and

As a Discretionary Use in the following zone:

  • Open Space (O) Zone.
