The Delta council last week agreed with a recommendation to endorse an application for additional temporary farm worker housing at a local large-scale greenhouse operation.
The application for the non-adhering residential use would allow additional housing for the Windset greenhouse operation at 3660 41B St. in Ladner, but that additional housing has already been added.
The site contains three existing temporary farm worker modular housing units, approved in 2009, that provide housing for 100 workers, and the application for additional housing was part of a multi-phase expansion of the existing greenhouse operation with plans to construct four new greenhouses over several properties.
