2021-12-09

79.2.3.1. Where a livestock facility can only be enlarged by encroaching upon the space that must be left open under separation distance requirements, the enlargement of the facility is allowed notwithstanding the separation distance requirements so long as

(1)  the enlargement is necessary in order to comply with a code of practice or a standard of a certification aimed at ensuring the welfare of animals;

(2)  there is no increase in the number of livestock units; and

(3)  the enlargement is not erected on the side of the building used for a purpose other than an agricultural purpose whose siting would entail the greatest restriction on the potential for expanding the agricultural activities of that breeding unit if the separation distance requirements were taken into account.
