The Minimum Distance Separation Formulae and Guidelines were created by the Province to minimize land use conflicts between sensitive land uses and livestock facilities. The MDS setback distances shall be met prior to the approval of:
There are two types of MDS setbacks - MDS I and MDS II. Calculations are done through the AgriSuite program and are based on the type and amount of livestock within a livestock facility.
MDS 1 - For New Non-Agricultural Uses Adjacent to Existing Livestock Facilities
The MDS I formula determines the setbacks between proposed development and existing livestock facilities. You must meet the MDS I setback distance prior to the approval of proposed lot creation, rezoning of land, residential building permits and agriculture-related uses or on-farm diversified uses.
If you require assistance with the calculation, please complete the MDS I Guide & Data Collection Form and return to the Planning Department.
MDS 2 - For New or Expanding Livestock Facilities and/or Manure Storages
The MDS II formula determines setbacks between new, enlarged or renovated livestock facilities and other existing or approved development. You must meet the MDS II setback distance prior to the approval of a building permit for a new or altered livestock facility that is greater than 10m2 in size or any anaerobic digester.
If you require assistance with the calculation, please complete the MDS II Guide & Data Collection Form and return to the Planning Department.
