Id like to relocate my woodworking business to the detached garage in my backyard. Can I do this?
. The Zoning By-law permits certain home-based businesses or “Home Occupations” in all zones that permit dwelling units provided certain conditions are met. One of those conditions restricts the location of the home occupation to the dwelling unit or an attached garage. Therefore, using a detached garage for a home occupation would be prohibited under the terms of the by-law. There are other things you would have to consider such as excessive noise and electrical interference. The home occupation regulations are meant to foster fledgling businesses that cause relatively little harm or annoyance with the residential nature of the neighbourhood. For a copy of the regulations regarding Home Occupations visit Building Services at City Hall and speak to a Zoning Inspector.
