For the purpose of this by-law, home occupations shall be further categorized as 'urban home occupations" and "rural home occupations". Within the RM of Pembina, urban home occupations will occur only in the settlement centres of Darlingford and La Riviere. It is recognized that home occupations in rural areas are often different in nature to those encountered in urban settings. Rural home occupations are often farm-related or are more industrial in nature and are needed by many farmers as a secondary source of income. Generally the increased distance between neighbours lessens the impact of noise, sight and odours thereby allowing a wider range of activities in rural settings. Council recognizes that both urban and rural home occupations are a vital part of the rural economy but some guidelines are necessary to ensure that they are of a nature that will not have a negative impact on the surrounding area and will not directly compete with established commercial or industrial areas within the municipality or adjacent towns. URBAN HOME OCCUPATIONS 23. (1) Subject to the issuance of a development permit, a home occupation shall be permitted as an accessory use to the principle dwelling or mobile home provided that: (a) it shall be limited to those uses, which do not interfere with the rights of other residents to quiet enjoyment of their neighbourhood; (b) it shall not create a nuisance by way of dust, noise, vibration, smoke, odour, litter, light of heat nor shall it create or cause any fire hazard electrical interference or traffic congestion in the neighbourhood; (c) in the case of retail sales or distribution it offers articles for sale which are limited to those produced therein or articles that are produced elsewhere, but are pre-packaged and held only on a temporary basis for distribution to customers; (d) it is carried on in a dwelling unit or mobile home or its permitted accessory buildings solely by the members of the family residing there without the employment of other persons; (e) there shall be no exterior display, no external storage of materials, containers or finished or unfinished products and no other exterior indication that the building is being utilized for any other purpose other than that of a dwelling, except for a home occupation sign; (f) the site provides for the off-street parking of all vehicles associated with the residence and the home occupation; and 32 (g) no more than three hundred (300) square feet or 25% of the gross floor area, whichever is the greater, shall be devoted to home occupations in any dwelling unit or mobile home or accessory building; Urban types of home occupations shall generally include home day-care, business, professional or organization offices, crafts and hobbies, private tutoring or lessons, hair stylists, bed & breakfast and other such uses. RURAL HOME OCCUPATIONS 23. (2) Subject to the issuance of a development permit, a home occupation may be permitted as an accessory use to a dwelling or mobile home in an "AG" Agriculture General Zone, "AL" Agricultural Limited Zone, "AV" Agricultural Valley Zone, "RC" Rural Cluster Zone or "GD" General Development Zone provided that: (a) it shall be limited to those indoor and outdoor uses, which do not interfere with the rights of other residents to enjoyment of their area; (b) the creation of dust, noise, vibration, smoke, odour, litter, light or heat shall be limited so that these effects do not extend beyond the limits of the subject site so as to cause interference with adjacent property and uses; nor shall it create or cause any fire hazard, electrical interference or other hazardous effect; (c) in the case of retail sales, it offers commodities for sale which are limited to those produced or repaired on the premises. Some outdoor work, product display, signage and storage of materials or products associated with the home occupation may be permitted; and (d) the site provides for on-site parking and loading areas for all vehicles associated with the dwelling or mobile home and the home occupation. Rural types of home occupations shall generally include farm-related sales and service, machinery and auto repair, welding, carpentry, bed & breakfast and other trades and similar uses directly serving the rural population. A home occupation to be located in the "AG", "AL", "AV", "RC" and "GD" Zones shall be subject to conditional use approval, when it does not comply with the requirements of clauses (a) - (g) inclusive of subsection (1) above. 33 PRIMARY BUSINESS 23. (3) If, in the opinion of Council, a home occupation is no longer a secondary use or contravenes or exceeds the requirements outlined in Subsections (1) or (2) as applicable, it shall be considered evidence that the home occupation has become a primary business. In this case, it shall cease if the subject zone does not provide for such a primary business and be encouraged to relocate to an appropriate zone within the municipality. YARDS GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 24. (1) Except as herein provided, the following provisions shall apply in all zones to ensure adequate yards and setbacks: (a) The yard requirements shall be as set forth in the USE AND SITE REQUIREMENTS of each zone; (b) All yards and other open spaces required for any use shall be located on the same site as the use; (c) Where permitted in this by-law, a building containing more than one unit with common party walls, such as a semi-detached two-family dwelling, row housing or businesses shall be considered as one (1) building occupying one (1) site for the purpose of side yard regulations; (d) Minimum required yards contained in this by-law do not relieve the owner from compliance with Department of Transportation and Government Services, Highway Traffic Board or Manitoba Building Code requirements where said requirements demand greater setbacks; and (e) On a corner site, no fence, wall, hedge, shrubs or other landscape features shall be placed in such a manner as to produce a fence effect or visual barrier hazardous to vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

(1) The regulations herein are designed to establish a minimum control of signs as accessory structures. Such control is deemed essential to promote the health, safety, and general welfare by reducing hazards to pedestrian and vehicular traffic, and by preventing unsightly and detrimental development having a blighting influence upon residential, commercial, industrial and other uses. 25. (2) The following provisions shall apply to all signs erected or maintained within the villages, except wherein otherwise stated: (a) no sign or sign structure shall be erected at any location where it may interfere with or obstruct the view of any street, intersection or railroad grade crossing, or be confused with any authorized traffic sign, signal or device. No rotating beam, beacon or flashing illumination resembling an emergency light shall be used in connection with any sign display; 35 (b) no sign or sign structure shall be erected or maintained on, over or above any land or right-of-way belonging to the villages unless such right is established by agreement with Council; (c) in areas adjacent to residential zones, freestanding signs shall not obstruct the light to or view from a window of a habitable room; (d) the placing of signs within the control lines and circles of a Provincial Road or Provincial Trunk Highway shall require a permit from the Department of Transportation and Government Services and/or Highway Traffic Board; and (e) flashing signs are not permitted within residential zones or within one hundred (100) feet of the boundaries of residential zones. 25.

(4) All signs and sign structures shall be kept in good repair and in a proper state of preservation. Signs that have become obsolete because of discontinuance of the operation of activity or are not maintained in good condition or repair shall be repaired, removed or relocated within thirty (30) days following notice by the Development Officer. 25. (5) Permitted signs may be constructed without a permit, however, this shall not relieve the owner or person in control of such signs from erecting and maintaining the signs in safe conditions. 36 DEVELOPMENT RESTRICTED UNSUITABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT 26. (1) Notwithstanding the provisions contained in this by-law, the Council may prohibit or restrict the development of an area of land for a use permitted in a zone if the area has been identified either by Council or other agencies as being subject to flooding, erosion, bank instability, landslide, subsidence, marshy or unstable, or otherwise hazardous or unsuitable for the proposed development and use by virtue of its soil or topography. NOXIOUS OR OFFENSIVE USES 26. (2) Notwithstanding anything herein contained, no use shall be permitted in any zone which may be noxious or offensive by reason of the emission or production of odour, dust, refuse matter, wastes, vapour, smoke, gas, vibration or noise unless the use is permitted in the subject zone or satisfactory measures are undertaken to mitigate or eliminate such effects.

However, if a variation to an operation is proposed all residences within the separation distance must be notified of the variation hearing. Conversely, all operations within a separation distance must be informed where a variation is proposed for a residence. In the case of existing operations, which do not comply with the separations, any change or expansion to the operation must receive the necessary variation order. LIVESTOCK AS ACCESSORY USE 32. (9) The keeping and raising of animals for personal use is not considered livestock under this By-law; it is considered an accessory use and is regulated under the Use and Site Requirements in the subject zones. However, the number of animal units allowed in a particular area must still adhere to the criteria spelled out in the Accessory Use Table (Table 3-1). Further, if a proponent is considering raising animals for personal use and the number of AUs exceed 10; the operation would become conditional. NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR LIVESTOCK OPERATIONS 32.(10)In addition to the notice provisions in The Planning Act, prior to any hearing of an application for a conditional use approval to establish or expand a livestock operation, Council shall give the following notice: (a) 1-299 AU send notice by regular mail to every residence and non-resident landowner within 1 mile (1600M); and (b) 300+ AU and all earthen manure storage facilities send notice by regular mail to every residence and non-resident landowner within 1.25 miles (2000M). 55 Dairy Beef Hogs TABLE 4-5 ANIMAL UNIT SUMMARY TABLE Livestock A.U.

NON-FARM RURAL RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT 32(12) Any proposal to develop non-farm rural residential lots in the "AV" Agricultural Valley Zone is considered a conditional use and shall be subject to the following requirements: (a) No more that 3 non-farm rural residential lots may be approved on a quarter section and the lots must be contiguous to each other; (b) In addition to the minimum siting requirements set out in Table 4-3 of this by-law, the maximum site area for a non-farm rural residential lot shall generally not exceed 5 acres and siting decisions must be accordance with the policy direction set out in Section 2.3.5 of the Pembina-Manitou Development Plan; and (c) The mutual separation distance between residences and livestock operations must be maintained in accordance with Section 32(8) of this by-law. 57 SETTLEMENT CENTRE ZONES INTENT AND PURPOSE 33.
