Livestock Operations

According to the Zoning By-law, a "Livestock operation", means a permanent or semi-permanent facility or non-grazing area where livestock producing at least 10 animal units of livestock are kept or raised, either indoors or outdoors, and includes feedlots and all associated manure collection facilities, but does not include an auction mart. A Small Scale Livestock Operation generates between 10 – 299 Animal Units and a Large Scale Livestock Operation generates 300 or more Animal Units. 

When Livestock Operations contain between 10 - 299 Animal Units (AU) and are “P” Permitted in the “AG/AL” zones, a Major Development Permit is required. 

When Livestock Operations contain 300 or more Animal Units (AU) and are “C” Conditional in the “AG/AL” zones, a Conditional Use is required. Please contact the department to determine what type of application is required and/or to start the application process.

All applications for a Livestock Operation with the Planning Department must be submitted to Cloudpermit.

Note: Cloudpermit sends email notification indicating the status of your application and what actions may be required of you. Make sure to click "Yes" toggle for Email notifications, located in the upper-left hand corner on the application page/workspace. In addition, you can send a message to our department regarding a specific application within the workspace for that application.

When an existing Large-Scale Livestock Operation (300 AU or more) proposes to expand, a Conditional Use is required. Please contact the department to determine what type of application is required and/or to start the application process.
