Notice of Temporary Use Permit: TUP 26-01

At its Regular Meeting of Monday May 11, 2026, AT 6:00 pm Council of the District of Kent will consider the issuance of a Temporary Use Permit for 2062 Lougheed Highway, Agassiz, BC, as authorized under Section 493 of the Local Government Act.

Land Use Proposal: A Temporary Use Permit (TUP) application has been received to allow the temporary continuation of equipment storage and maintenance associated with a forestry contracting operation on the property, which is not permitted under the current RR1 (Rural Residential 1) zoning. The TUP is intended to provide time to facilitate relocation to a more appropriate site.

The property has historically been used as a maintenance yard and shop for log trucks and equipment, with most operational activities occurring off-site. The applicant has indicated that the Temporary Use Permit would provide for a time-limited period (up to one year) to facilitate relocation to a more appropriate location while minimizing disruption to business operations and local employment.

If approved, the permit would limit on-site activities to daytime maintenance operations only, in accordance with the District’s Noise Regulation Bylaw, with no overnight work permitted. The proposal also includes relocating truck and equipment parking further from neighbouring residential properties to reduce impacts.
