Zoning By-Law

Every property in the Township is subject to the zoning by-law. A zoning by-law contains provisions that regulate the use, size, height, density and location of buildings on properties. The current Zoning By-law is By-law 55-86 as amended.

The by-law consists of the following basic components:

Maps are the most common feature of any zoning by-law since they indicate which zone a property is in.
The corresponding wording for the zone, which then lists the permitted uses, and regulations applicable to that zone.

The zoning is based on the Official Plan, and any application to amend the zoning must be considered in the context of the governing policies and Official Plan policies for that particular area.
