Description

The City received an application to add Home Occupation as a Discretionary Use to the Residential Special (RA) Zone to allow a home care business at 110 Higgins Line to continue to operate. The home care business has operated at 110 Higgins Line since 2011. The business started as an approved Home Office but transformed to a Home Occupation without approval from the City. The proposed amendment would bring the existing Use into conformity.

Along with this amendment, the City is advertising the Discretionary Use of a Home Occupation at 110 Higgins Line. Hours of operation will be 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. Monday to Friday. The floor area of the Home Occupation will be 43.9 square metres. Off-street parking will be provided.
