## Group 4
The establishment of new livestock operations and the expansion of existing livestock operations as well as the application of manure to land should be prohibited on soils with a soil suitability for agriculture Class 6 and Class 7, as well as unimproved organic soils based on detailed soil survey at a scale of 1:50,000 or better. Such land however may be used for pasture and grazing.
No new confined livestock operations and associated manure storage facilities, are permitted in Nutrient Management Soil Group #4 arazing and pasturing of animals are considered a permitted use in Soil Group #4.

Good Neighbour Siting Standards For Livestock Confinement and Manure
Storage Facilities with Non-related Residences A mutual separation distance is provided to manage and improve the compatibility between residential development not related to livestock operations and livestock operations.
<!-- image -->
Where the location of a proposed confined livestock operation or a proposed non-related residence may result in decreasing the mutual separation distance between a non -related dwelling and the livestock confinement and manure storage facilites to a distance less than the good neighbour siting standards, the use which is proposed will be considered the conditional use when the following minimum separation distances can not be maintained.
<!-- image -->
## Mutual Good Neighbour Separation Distances:
1. Operation sizes up to 100 animal units - separation distance between the manure storage and building of a confined livestock operation and an un- related dwelling is 656
2. Operations from 101 to 200 animal units - separation distance between the manure storage and building of a confined livestock operation and an un- related dwelling
3. Operations from 201 to 400 animal units - separation distance between the manure storage and building of a confined livestock operation and an un-related dwelling is 1,311 feet; and
4. Operations from 401 to 800 animal units - separation distance between the manure storage and building of a confined livestock and an un-related dwelling is a minimum of 1,639 feet (the proposed use, if it is a livestock operation, shall also be treated as a conditional use irrespective of location in the municipality).
5. Operations from 801 to 1,600 animal units - separation distance between the manure storage and building of a confined livestock operation and an un-related dwelling is a minimum of 1,967 feet (the proposed use, if it is a livestock operation, shall also be treated as a conditional use irrespective of location in the municipality).

7. Operations from 3,201 to 6,400 animal units - separation irrespective of location in the municipality).
8. Operations from 6,401 to 12,800 animal units - separation distance between the manure storage and building of a confined livestock and an un-related dwelling is a minimum of 2,953 feet (the proposed use, if it is a livestock operation, shall also be treated as a conditional use irrespective of location in the municipality).
separation distance between the manure storage and building of a confined livestock and an un-related dwelling is a minimum of 3,281 feet (the proposed use, if it is a livestock operation, shall also be treated as a conditional use irrespective of location in the municipality.
9. Operations from 12,801 and greater animal units - The provisions in this section shall not apply to any residence, which is considered to be accessory to the livestock production operation and occupied by the owner or employees of the facility.

When the proposed location of a new oil battery is within ½ mile of an existing residence, the application will be considered as a conditional use under this By-law and a public hearing will be held in accordance with procedures for processing a conditional use application under the Planning Act. In keeping with requirements of provincial regulations under The Oil and Gas Act, notice of the proposed development and public hearing shall be given to all registered owners of land within 1.5 km of the proposed oil battery site. Council's decision to approve, to approve with conditions, or to reject the application shall be recorded in a Conditional Use Order. In addition, a development permit will be issued for each new oil battery approved as a permitted or conditional use in the Municipality provided that the Petroleum Branch confirms that the proposed oil battery development can meet provincial regulations.

## Confined Livestock Production Operations
an agricultural fair, or
a livestock auction mart,
5.2 The provisions of this Section shall apply to confined livestock production operations, which shall be deemed to mean an agricultural operation where animals are fed in buildings or pens, or in outdoor non-grazing areas confined by fences, other structures or topography and manure storage is continuously confined to a single location and or facility year round, but does not include:
a livestock sales yard where livestock are kept no longer than 3 days.
An application to create a new or expand an existing livestock production operation,
stal he odesahied by operation such a form prescribed by Council including
(a) a site plan showing the location of buildings, manure storage, manure application fields, other facilities and their distance to property lines; and (b) number, type of livestock and total animal units produced.
<!-- image -->
Where a livestock production operation is located within one half mile of one or more other livestock production operation(s), and where these operations are under
affiliated ownership, management or control, or where they share common infrastructure such as water supply or manure storage facilities, they shall be deemed to be one combined larger livestock production operation, rather than two or more separate operations, for the purposes of this By-law.
The provisions of this By-law are dependent upon a determination of the production capacity of a livestock production operation, which shall be based upon the intensity of use as measured by Animal Units determined in accordance with Table 5-1 by multiplying the number of animals by the animal unit produced by one livestock.
The minimum acreage for hobby horse farms, riding academies and stables shall be 2.0 acres for one horse and 1.0 additional acre for each additional horse. The acreage is to be fenced in an appropriate manner to contain the animals.
