Home Occupation Regulations Update

Council reviews proposed changes to simplify rules for businesses operated out of people's homes.

"The update proposes new definitions (Home Office, Minor, Major), removes subjective regulations, and consolidates Bed and Breakfast rules. Discussion centered on daycare capacity and parking requirements. Councillor Rogers opposed the direction, citing concerns over potential neighborhood traffic from major home-based businesses."
