REQUEST FOR DECISION Amendment Bylaw 1256-2012 Changes to Clarify Definition of ‘Agricultural Buildings’ Meeting Date: August 13, 2012 To: EAD/SLRD Board RECOMMENDATIONS: THAT Bylaw No. 1256, cited as ‘Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Electoral Area C Bylaw No. 765, 2002, Amendment Bylaw No. 1256-2012’ be introduced and read a first and second time; THAT as per s. 890(4) of the Local Government Act the public hearing be waived, THAT a notice of waiver of the public hearing for Bylaw No. 1256, cited as ‘Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Electoral Area C Bylaw No. 765, 2002, Amendment Bylaw No. 1256-2012’ be advertised as per sections 890 and 893 of the Local Government Act. KEY ISSUES/CONCEPTS: A bylaw amendment is proposed to Section 4.4 (5) of Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) Electoral Area C Bylaw No 765, 2002 due to a question of clarity and consistency between Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) Building Bylaw 863, 2003 clause 5.2 and Section 4.4 (5) of Electoral Area C Bylaw No 765, 2002. SLRD Building Bylaw 863, 2003 clause 5.2 states the following: This bylaw does not apply to barns, workshops, and storage buildings used in conjunction with a farm operation on land classified as a farm under the Assessment Act. Electoral Area C Bylaw No 765, 2002 Section 4.4 (5) states the following: For clarity of interpretation agricultural buildings where permitted, are principal buildings and shall not be subject to the maximum floor area regulations for auxiliary buildings. It was brought to staff’s attention that the clause in the Area C Zoning Bylaw does not define ‘agricultural building’ as a building associated with any of the following which are defined within the bylaw and tied to farm classification under the Assessment Act: ‘bona-fide agricultural operation, ‘farm operation’, and ‘farm use’. Page 6 of 142 Request for Decision - Amendment Bylaw 1256-2012 - Chang... In order for the two bylaws to provide succinct and equivalent meaning, the following amendment to Section 4.4 (5) is proposed: For clarity of interpretation agricultural buildings used in conjunction with a farm operation on land classified as a farm under the Assessment Act, shall not be subject to the maximum floor area regulations for auxiliary buildings.
