Council unanimously approved the project and noted that staff should include wineries in the zoning bylaw that currently allows for a brewery, distillery and meadery in Light Industrial Zones.
The “housekeeping” amendment will be updated to accommodate urban style wineries that offer a different experience than traditional tasting rooms on vineyards.
Mayor Doug Findlater noted that the zoning bylaw should be updated due to the high volume of requests taking up staff’s time.
