HOW TO USE THIS ZONING BY-LAW
This Zoning By-law regulates the use, size, height, and location of buildings on properties within the Municipality.
There is a simple four-step process to determine the uses and structures that are permitted on a specific piece of
property.
STEP ONE WHAT ZONE IS YOUR PROPERTY LOCATED IN?
-
Use the Zoning Map in Schedule A to determine the zoning for your property.
-
Reference Part 3: Zones for a description of the intent of that particular zone.
-
Look in the Development Plan and any Secondary Plan that applies to your property to confirm your
proposal fits with the applicable policies in those documents.
STEP TWO WHAT USES ARE PERMITTED IN YOUR ZONE?
-
Find the column with the zone of your property in the Use Table in Part 3: Zones.
-
Uses marked with the letter P are permitted uses and may be developed once you have received a
development permit.
-
Uses marked with the letter C are conditional uses that may or may not be acceptable in a zone depending
on the particular circumstances of a proposed development. Conditional uses require a public hearing
process and may have extra conditions imposed on the use to make it acceptable for the location. Uses not
listed in the table will require an amendment to the Zoning By-law.
-
Uses marked with use-specific requirements are provided in Part 4: Use-Specific Standards.
STEP THREE HOW AND WHERE CAN YOU DEVELOP PROPERTIES IN YOUR ZONE?
-
Find the column with the zone of your property in the Dimensional Standards Table in Part 3: Zones.
-
The Dimensional Standards Table provides information on allowable height of buildings and structures,
required yards, and other spatial requirements for a property.
-
To understand the specific details of these requirements, you may need to reference Part 2: General
Regulations and Part 6: Definitions.
STEP FOUR WHAT KIND OF PERMITS DO YOU NEED?
-
In most cases, you will need a development permit before you start any change in land use or any
development (including construction of a building, demolition, additions, major landscaping) on a property.
-
Check Part 5: Administration to see if your planned development is exempt from needing a development
permit. If so, you may proceed with development, as long as it meets the other requirements in this By-law
and other applicable by-laws.
-
If you need a development permit, fill out a permit application.
-
You are responsible for finding out any other provincial or federal regulations applying to your
development, as well as any other required local permits, including building permits.

characteristics that make complying with the requirements of this By-law impractical or unreasonable.

This By-Law outlines the process for minor variances, without the need for a public hearing, for proposed
changes that vary the standards in this By-Law by no more than 10%.

varying specific provisions of this By-law insofar as they apply to the affected property, in accordance with

law shall, subject to the provisions of the variance order, be deemed to conform to this By-law.
