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.
