Sparwood council has adopted a bylaw amendment that creates a limited agriculture zone in the Michel Creek area.
Planning and Development director Patrick Sorfleet said the land was being used for agriculture already, even though it wasn’t technically permitted.
The bylaw determines which kind of animals are allowed.
“This would be limited to horses, cattle, donkeys, bees, chickens and rabbits,” Sorfleet added.
The amended bylaw will also allow permit grazing and pasture to occur in Heavy Industrial and Extraction Industrial zones throughout the District of Sparwood.
