Background
The purpose of this administrative text amendment is to update the accessory building, home
business, and subdivision regulations. Where the proposed changes are hannonious with the
Municipal Plan, this amendment does not have a corresponding Municipal Plan amendment.
The Town does not currently have provisions regulating the use of shipping containers as
accessory buildings/structures. The following amendment regulates the use of these
buildings/structures throughout the Town.
The following amendment would also add a definition for "small scale lawn care business" and
include this new use under the list of permitted home businesses.
The following administrative text amendment also adds a provision to the subdivision
regulations to account for the extension of a public street to rectify a preexisting ownership issue.
The Town currently services multiple, legacy public streets (predating the adoption and
implementation of any Municipal Plan and Development Regulations), which were not properly
vested to the Town. The Town has historically provided regular maintenance to these legacy
public streets including repairs and snow clearing. The following amendment provides for an
exemption to the maximum of a dead-end cul-de-sac or p-loop street where the total street length
is technically extended by virtue of the Town formalizing and acquiring sections of preexisting,
legacy public streets.
Public Consultation
As per the requirements of subsection 35(5) of the Urban and Rural Planning Act, 2000, the
proposed amendment was advertised in the West Coast Wire on July 4, 2024. Residents were
provided an opportunity to provide comments by July 17, 2024. No objections were received and
as such Council chose not to hold a public meeting as stipulated in the Development Regulations.

single unit dwelling.
ii. On any other lot, a container designed for commercial transport, even though
modifications have been made to said container, may be considered and approved as an

associated with a preexisting street or access that is privately owned but has been historically
used as a public street.
