Appeal dismissed; proposed trailer sales business does not qualify as an on-farm diversified use.
The applicant appealed the City of Kawartha Lakes' refusal to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a trailer sales and storage business on an agricultural property.
The applicant argued the business qualified as an on-farm diversified use (OFDU).
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the proposed trailer sales could operate independently of the farming operation and therefore did not meet the criteria for an OFDU under the Provincial Policy Statement.
The Tribunal also found the proposed commercial highway activity was not appropriate for the rural road.
