Home-based Business Zoning Updates

Consideration of Bylaws

Council adopted Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 55-107, 2026, expanding the range of one-person home-based businesses permitted to receive clients.
This change follows the 2025 KAMPLAN update, which recommended supporting small-scale start-ups while limiting client visits, parking, and hours of operation to minimize impacts on residential neighbourhoods and commercial districts.

Newly eligible home-based businesses that may receive clients include:

  • bookkeeping and accounting
  • marketing  and advertising consulting
  • insurance services
  • musical instrument repair, maintenance, and tuning
  • clothing alteration, repair, and sewing
  • counselling and coaching
  • visual arts, painting, and on-site crafts
  • on-site agricultural products

The amendment also removes restrictions on office use for C6-zoned properties abutting Notre Dame Drive.
