You can apply for a Temporary Use Permit for limited term use of land not otherwise permitted in the City’s Zoning Bylaw. In considering the issuance of a Temporary Use Permit, Council will use conditions it deems reasonable which may include:
- That the temporary use will operate at an intensity of use suitable to the surrounding area
- That the temporary use will be compatible with regard to use, design, and operation with other surrounding land uses
- That the temporary use will operate on a temporary basis only and includes plans, or a letter of undertaking to terminate the use and restore the site by the expiry date of the permit
Temporary Use Permits may be issued for a period of up to three years from the date the permit was approved by Council, and may be renewed once, subject to Council approval.
The permit will establish conditions of use, including the site design and layout, and length of time the temporary use can occur. Security deposits and letters of undertaking may also be required to ensure conditions are met.
