DISCUSSION =

The current position regarding accessory home businesses reflects poorly on
the City and its ability to project a positive image to attract businesses of
all kinds.

The proposed bylaw amendments would permit ‘accessory home businesses that have
little or no impact on surrounding neighbours, and provide an ever increasing
source of employment.

The text of the proposed bylaw amendments will be based on that in the
recommendations section, which has been reviewed by the Municipal Solicitor.
The final text amendments will also be reviewed and approved by the Municipal
Solicitor prior to Council consideration.

The Planning Department, therefore, recommends that accessory home businesses
be permitted in all single-family and duplex zones, subject to the
restrictions noted in the recommendations section.
