A Temporary Use Permit application for a home occupation at 602 Esquimalt Road, Victoria, is before council today, with one unit identified. The address is already home to commercial tenants Top Dog Daycare and Spa and photography and event rental studio Cinderbloc Studio, as confirmed by multiple business listings (victoriapridesociety.org cinderblocstudio.com). The permit would allow the continued operation of a business from a residential component of the property.
Correspondence totalled two letters, split one in support and one in opposition. Objections cited noise, nuisance, lack of supervision, inappropriate location, and traffic and parking impacts, consistent with concerns about a pet-care operation. Council consideration today will determine whether the temporary use is approved, likely with conditions addressing operating hours, noise mitigation, and animal supervision if the permit relates to the existing daycare. No further details on applicant identity or home occupation type accompany the filing in available materials.
A temporary use permit application for 602 Esquimalt Road in Victoria, BC, will be considered by the Advisory Design Panel on May 14, 2026. The applicant has submitted the proposal for a limited-duration use of the property. The outcome of the meeting is not yet available.
