flag Niagara-on-the-Lake delays winery approval due to land size below minimum requirement.

flag Niagara-on-the-Lake councillors have sent Ferox by Fabian Reis Winery’s January 2025 application to become an estate winery to staff and the agricultural committee for further review, citing the 4.27-hectare property’s shortfall below the town’s eight-hectare minimum. flag The winery, which operates a retail shop and seeks to expand with a patio, indoor space, and kitchen, argues exceptions are allowed if rural character is preserved. flag While staff recommended approval based on policy flexibility and rural integrity, councillors raised concerns about upholding planning standards, delaying a final decision pending additional analysis.
