 In discussion the following comments and questions were noted: 
 Support was expressed for the work thus far on the bylaw. 
 There  was  discussion  about  the  ability  for  this  bylaw  to  be  used  by  farms  outside  of  the 
Agricultural Land Reserve. It was noted that this is not the intention of this bylaw. 
 There  was  discussion  about  the  ability  to  ensure  farming  remains  the  priority  on  these 
properties  and  the  expanded  housing  is  restricted  to  farm  workers.
