In 1999, the City amended its regulations for home based businesses to allow more types of businesses while seeking to ensure that neighbourhood livability is maintained. While many new types of home based businesses are now permitted, it is best to review your home based business proposal with staff. Keep in mind that the objective of Zoning Bylaw regulations for home based businesses is to ensure compatibility between the business and residential uses which are co-existing side by side. Traffic, noise, odour, aesthetics, safety and other potential impacts should be considered and addressed in every home based business proposal. Contact the Planning Department General Inquiries for more information or call Strategic Services at 604-527-4565 for business licence information.
