N.B. approves accessory residence at local airport as discretionary use
North Battleford City Hall approved a request to allow for an accessory residence as a discretionary use at the local airport when it met earlier this week.
Council gave the nod to amend the zoning bylaw to accommodate accessory dwelling units at council’s discretion at North Battleford Cameron McIntosh Airport district. The policy will incorporate recommended conditions submitted by Stewart Schafer, the city’s airport manager, to guide council in making its decision on applications.
Airport supervisor Fran de Kock had previously submitted a letter to the city saying he has no concerns with the request.
The issue came about as local business owner and pilot Scott Campbell had wanted to establish a secondary residence at his hangar at the airport both for his personal convenience so he could be on site to protect his property and also to reduce the potential for vandalism.
