as to cause any existing building or structure on the same parcel to violate the provisions of
this Bylaw.
5.1.2
The interior parcel line setbacks of this Bylaw shall not apply to adjoining strata parcels
under a deposited plan pursuant to the Strata Property Act where there is a common wall
shared by two or more units within a building.
5.2

parcel, except as otherwise provided for in this Bylaw.
5.3

otherwise provided for in this Bylaw, provided that:
(a) the principal use is being carried out on the parcel; or
(b) a building for the purpose of the principal use has been constructed on the parcel; or
(c) a building for the purpose of the principal use is in the process of being constructed on

5.3.2
An accessory building or structure shall not contain a dwelling unit, except as expressly

5.4
HIGHEST BUILDING FACE ENVELOPE
5.4.1
Highest building face envelope is created by drawing a series of vertical lines at all points
along the exterior face of a building, up to the height specified in the zone from ground
level then inward over the building at right angles to the plane of the building face at an
angle of 45°.
5.4.2
For purposes of this regulation, ground level:
(a) is measured from the outermost extent of the enclosed portion of the building projected
to the finished grade;
(b) in front of a garage door, is interpreted as a line joining the ground level at each side of
the garage door; and
(c) is based off of finished grade.
5.4.3
One third of the length of the building need not comply with this requirement.
ANMORE ZONING BYLAW NO. 568-2017
(CONSOLIDATED)
Page 27
5.4.4
All other portions of the building must be within the highest building face envelope,
except:
(a) decks, eaves, projecting decorative features not enclosing the interior of the building;
(b) the pitched roof portion of either gable ends or dormers; and
(c) for pitched roof portions:
(i) the area above the intersection of the ceiling joist and the exterior wall which
encloses a non-habitable attic; and

5.5
AVERAGE GRADE CALCULATION FOR BUILDING AND STRUCTURE
HEIGHT
5.5.1
Average grade (natural and finished) is measured around the perimeter of:
(a) a building at or directly above the outermost projections of the exterior walls and
includes the dimensions around the posts of an attached carport. A deck attached to a
building is not considered in determining the perimeter; or
(b) a structure that is not defined as a building.
5.5.2
The lower of average natural grade or average finished grade, each calculated separately,
will be used in building height and floor area ratio calculations.
5.5.3
To calculate the average finished grade and natural grade for the building:
(a) calculate the average grade elevation for each wall section having a constant grade
along the finished and natural wall section by dividing the grade elevation at each end
by 2 [(grade 'x' + grade 'y') ÷ 2 = average], then multiply this average grade elevation by
the length of that wall section;
ANMORE ZONING BYLAW NO. 568-2017
(CONSOLIDATED)
Page 28
(b) add the resulting numbers for each section of wall; and
(c) divide this total number by the total perimeter wall length of the building.
This will be the average grade, natural or finished.
5.5.4
Additional calculation points and sections are required along a wall if there is a significant
change in elevation or grade slope along that length of the wall (for example, if it is level
along half the wall and then drops significantly over the second half, there would be two
average grade elevations on that section of wall.
5.5.5
Where the undisturbed ground level of natural grade cannot be ascertained because of
existing landscaping, buildings or structures, and appears to have been significantly
altered, the level of natural grade shall be determined by the Building Inspector, who may
rely on the professional opinion of a British Columbia Land Surveyor on the determination of
natural grade at the cost of the property owner.
5.5.6
An example of calculating average grade is shown below (see Figure 1, provided for
illustrative purposes only).

only);
(b) the midpoint between the highest point of a building with a pitched roof and a point
2.4 metres above the floor immediately below (see Figure 2, provided for illustrative
purposes only); or
(c) the highest point of all other structures.
5.6.3
Where a roof is composed of a combination of pitched and flat elements, height is
measured to the higher of:
(a) the highest point of the flat roof; or
(b) the midpoint of a pitched roof as described above using the projected peak of the
pitched roof as the highest point.
5.6.4
A roof having a slope of less than 2 in 12 is considered to be a flat roof for purposes of this
section.
5.6.5
In calculating height, mechanical equipment and enclosures, and skylights over 0.6 metre in
height, shall be included. Skylights less than 0.6 metre in height shall only be exempted, if
they are less than 3 metres in horizontal length. Chimneys less than 1.8 metres in horizontal
length and vent pipes shall not be included.
