Accessory Home Business Bylaw
Planning and Development Committee ~ March 4, 1992

THAT the attached draft Zoning Bylaw Amendment to regulate Accessory Home
Business be approved.

2. THAT The Municipal Clerk be instructed to prepare the appropriate bylaws
to implement the above.

BACKGROUND:

A draft Accessory Home Business Bylaw was referred by the Economic
Development Committee to the Chamber of Commerce and made available to the
general public for perusal and comments.

Input was received from a number of people and from the Chamber of
Commerce resulting in the Economic Development Committee recommending a number
of changes.

PROPOSED CHANGES:

1. To include a definition for "Tutorial Services";

2. To include tutorial services as a permitted accessory Home Business use,
restricted to one instructor per dwelling unit;

That a one non-resident employee be permitted.

That the maximum of visits per day by clients to a home be restricted to
10.

DISCUSSION:

Reacting to the public input the Planning Department had recommended 1 and
2 above. ‘The members of the Economic Development Committee, however received
additional input that indicates the advisability to permit one non-resident
employee in any home based business. a

Since Home Based Business Bylaw is generally restrictive, the additional
flexibility created by allowing one non-resident employee should not result in
undo hardship on surrounding properties.
