c) Removing the restriction on plumbing in an accessory building except for properties in the Lakeshore Residential zone.
d) Permitting a dwelling on an AG1, AG3, or AG4 zoned property to be replaced at less than the required MDS 1 distance if the replacement dwelling maintains or reduces the existing MDS deficiency.
