Planning files included a couple of on-farm shops in the same area where an appeal was launched and dismissed in 2015-16 .

Neighbours Andris Bite and Karen Cybulski wrote to oppose the development, stating that there are 35 other shops on eight square miles .

Residents were concerned about the environmental effects from diesel generators, and increased traffic and dust on the gravel road.

Deputy Mayor Dobreen said that at the site plan stage, there are clauses added which deal with measures to address dust, noise and plantings for sound barriers.

Mr. White noted that the new Southgate Official Plan has a policy such that the Zoning Bylaw could permit OFDUs “as of right” (meaning without a zoning bylaw amendment) but that has not been enacted.
