The SLRD received a zoning amendment application from North Arm Farm (Jordan and Trish Sturdy) to increase the gross floor area (GFA) of the food and beverage service lounge associated with a brewery. The site-specific text amendment would provide for food and beverage service lounge with 125m² of indoor GFA and 125m² of outdoor GFA, as per the maximum set by the Agricultural Land Reserve Use Regulation (ALR Use Regulation). The current SLRD zoning provides for 60m² of indoor GFA and 60m² of outdoor GFA. The application states that North Arm Farm holds a brewery manufacture license, and it is understood that the intention is to build a food and beverage service lounge associated with this brewery use.

Current Status

Amendment Bylaw No. 1829-2023 received first and second reading at the October 25, 2023 SLRD Board meeting.
