Application by Corey Liu for a Zoning Text Amendment to the “Agriculture (AG1)” Zone to Permit a Greenhouse with Concrete Footings at 8200 Steveston Highway

The flooring of the proposed greenhouse will be soil based as is the standard requirement under the AG1 zone. A Statutory Declaration is required prior to the issuance of a BP to ensure the flooring remains soil based. This is included in the considerations associated with this application. Only the footings are proposed to be concrete, which would allow for a stable structure for year-round nursery stock production. Gravel Use The applicant proposes the use of gravel in the agricultural staging areas, parking lot, and loading area and have received approval to do so by the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) via a Notice of Intent (NOI) application on January 14, 2026. The applicant’s submitted Agrologist Report, provided in Attachment 6, identifies that gravel is an important medium for the growth of nursery style plants, as it reduces water pooling, lowers root disease risk, and supports worker and equipment access in wet conditions. Plant cultivation and nursery operations are recognized as farm uses under the ALCA and its associated regulations. The total approved volume of gravel to be placed is limited to 381.15 m3. The applicant is currently seeking an amendment to the ALC’s NOI approval for the subject site, to permit an increase in site grading beyond the approved 0.15 m. Should the ALC approve this change, the applicant will be required to submit a Drainage Plan and, if necessary, a Geotechnical Report prior to BP issuance.
