Greenhouse Study Open House and Public Feedback

Update: On Tuesday, February 14, 2023 Council hosted a statutory public meeting to hear resident and stakeholder feedback on proposed amendments to Lakeshore’s Official Plan and Zoning By-law dealing with Large-Scale Greenhouse Farms.

Council deliberated and directed Administration to include additional measures designed to eliminate the potential negative impacts of greenhouses such as lighting, odour, and stockpiling of waste. Council also expanded setback distances from settlement areas, updated language to include all commercial greenhouses, and added requirements for community impact analyses.

Council also directed Administration to bring a report describing the scope and estimated cost of a study to consider designating a greenhouse “business park.”
