Things are looking good for Peter and Jane Hammond on receiving the third temporary commercial use permit ever granted by Metchosin.

B次元官网网址淲e have approved it in principle,B次元官网网址� said Mayor John Ranns explaining council has requested the district planner draw up a permit. B次元官网网址淲e want to see what the permit will look like.B次元官网网址�

The permit is expected to allow for a 66-seat restaurant with the ability to seat people outside on the Rocky Point Road farm. It would also stipulate hours of operation. Ranns said it will be similar to long-time local eatery My Chosen Cafe.

Council also tentatively approved a roadside stand for goods made on site to cater to people on the Galloping Goose trail.

Other stipulations could include the facility being dark sky friendly.

B次元官网网址淣obody opposed this (at the April 15 meeting),B次元官网网址� Ranns said.

A TCUP is good for three years and can be renewed once.

Metchosin denied the HammondB次元官网网址檚 request to hold assemblies including weddings, conventions and meetings.

Council has asked staff to look into the issue district-wide.

B次元官网网址淩ight now no one can have a commercial wedding legally in the Metchosin,B次元官网网址� said Ranns adding council is often requested for permission to do so. B次元官网网址淲edding can be a source of neighbour complaints.B次元官网网址�
