What is a Temporary Use By-law?
A Temporary Use By-law is a tool that municipalities can use under the Planning Act which allows for a use, that is currently not permitted under the zoning by-law, to be permitted on a property for a maximum of three years at a time with possible extensions.
Purpose and Effect of the Application
The purpose of the Temporary Use By-law is to permit an urban farm and a farmstand for a period of three years. The farm would include a market garden and a variety of livestock. The produce from the market garden would be sold at the farmstand. The purpose of using a temporary use by-law in this case is largely due to the proposed livestock, with the intention of monitoring the use to assess the longer-term compatibility with the surrounding land uses.
