- 1.6 Nothing in this by-law, or in a development permit, approval of a conditional use, variation order or other approval issued under this by-law or under The Planning Act, shall be construed as authorization for the carrying out of any activity which is a nuisance due to noise, odour, emission, vibration or other cause.
## PART 2: GENERAL REGULATIONS GOVERNING USES, BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES
## Regulation of Uses
- 2.1 Subject to 2.4, no land, building or structure shall be constructed, enlarged, placed, used or occupied except for a use which:

- a permitted principal use;
- a conditional use, subject to approval as such; or

- (a) dwelling units which are required for employees or family members, who in the opinion of Council, will be actively involved in an agricultural operation,
- (b) two-family dwellings or multiple-family dwellings as provided for in this by-law,
- (c) mobile homes in a mobile home park which has been approved by Council.

- Notwithstanding the minimum requirements prescribed for each zone and use in the Use and Bulk Tables, electric transmission lines and structures, and pipelines are deemed to be in compliance with this by-law if they are carried out, constructed and operated in accordance with federal and provincial law.
## Existing Uses, Buildings and Structures
- An existing use, building or structure which is classified as a permitted use, building or structure in this by-law shall be allowed to continue to exist, and may be enlarged or expanded, may be changed to another permitted use, or may be replaced if destroyed.
- (a) All buildings and structures existing at the effective date of this by-law are deemed to conform to the bulk requirements of the zone in which the buildings or structures are situated.
- (b) The enlargement, expansion, change in use, or replacement shall be subject to the issuance of a development permit, and shall conform with all requirements of this by-law.
- 2.7 An existing use, building or structure which is classified as a conditional use in this by-law shall be deemed to be an approved conditional use, building or structure and shall be aliowed to continue to exist, may be changed to a permitted use, or may be replaced if destroyed, provided that the replacement does not increase the intensity of the previously existing use.
- (a) In these circumstances, the change in use or replacement shall be subject to the issuance of a development permit, and shall conform with all requirements of this by-law; and
- (b) Where an enlargement or expansion of such a use is proposed, it shall require the specific approval of Council, in accordance with PART 7.
- 2.8 An existing use, building or structure which is not classified as a permitted or conditional use, building or structure in this by-law shall be considered as a nonconforming use, building or structure, and shall be subject to the provisions of The Planning Act governing non-conformities (Sections 48-52 of The Planning Act).
## Permitted Uses, Buildings and Structures
- 2.9 Where a use, building or structure is provided for as a permitted use by this by-law, the owner shall normally be entitled to establish, expand or enlarge the use, building or structure, subject to the issuance of a development permit, and provided that the use, building or structure complies with all requirements of this by-law.
## Conditional Uses
- The classification of uses as conditional uses is intended to provide for a special process of review and approval for certain types of development that, due to its inherent characteristics, may have potential adverse impacts on nearby properties or resources.
- 2.11 Where a use, building or structure is provided for as a conditional use by this by-law, the establishment, enlargement or expansion of the use, building or structure shall be subject to the specific requirements of The Planning Act pertaining to conditiona uses.

- For the avoidance of doubt, an accessory use, building or structure may be accessory to an approved conditional use; however, no accessory use or building shall be constructed or located on the site prior to review and approval by Council in accordance with PART 7, if the accessory building or structure contributes significantly to an intensification or expansion of the conditional use.

The regional agricultural engineer or livestock specialist of Manitoba Agriculture and Food may be consulted for other livestock or operation type and interpretation of this TABLE.
- Note: 1. To calculate the number of AUs for a particular operation, multiply the AU produced by one livestock by the number of animals. For example, for 200 animal beef cows including associated livestock equals 1.25 × 200 = 250 AUs.
2. "Animal Unit" (A.U.) means the number of animals of a particular category that will excrete 73 kg (160.9 Ibs.) of total nitrogen in a 12 month period.
## Livestock Production Operations Deemed Conditional Uses
- 5.8 Livestock production operations are deemed to be a conditional use under the following circumstances:
