The purpose of the guidelines is to assist farmers’ market applicants and City staff in evaluating applications for farmers’ markets by:

(a) Assessing suitability and feasibility of farmers’ markets on select zoned lands, streets, and Park sites;
(b) Ensuring that farmers’ markets meet policy and regulations listed below; and
(c) Ensuring that each location is compatible with adjacent uses to support neighbourliness: mitigation of noise, parking, traffic, pedestrian interface, size, privacy, and visual impacts on existing, neighbourhood uses.
