I think the city should just cool its feet until the feds create regulations. If the federal government decides these kind of businesses will be allowed, then the city will have cost this woman money. If the law states these kinds of businesses are illegal, then the police can shut her down. Local government should stay out of the issue. Our mayor and councillors should spend their time dealing with the homeless epidemic, a bridge and pushing the Capital Regional District to make some moves on sewage. Deal with matters that matter.
