Municipality of Oakland-Wawanesa Zoning By-law No. 04-2019
Note: This page is intended to be a helpful guide for landowners, development officers / building officials, and
members of the general public to assist them in understanding how to use and interpret a municipality's zoning by-
law regulations.
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 of
Oakland-Wawanesa. The following is a simple four-step process that may be employed to determine the uses and
structures that may be allowed on a specific piece of property in a given zoning district.
What zoning district is your property located in?
-
Use the Zoning Maps in Schedule "A" at the back of this By-law to determine the zoning for your property.
-
Reference PART 3: Zoning Districts 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 is
supported by the applicable policies in those documents.
What uses are "permitted uses" and "conditional uses" in your zoning district?
-
Find the column with the zone of your property in the applicable Use and Bulk Table in PART 3 - Zoning Districts
-
Uses marked with the letter "P" are permitted uses and may be developed once you have received a
development permit and building permit.
-
Uses marked with the letter "C" are conditional uses that may or may not be acceptable in a particular zoning
district 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.
-
Certain permitted uses and conditional uses in select zoning districts have additional use-specific requirements,
check PART 4 - Additional Requirements for Specific Uses in Different Zoning Districts of this By-law to
determine whether any additional requirements apply to the land use in question.
How and where can you develop properties in your zone?
-
Find the column with the zone of your property in the applicable Use and Bulk Table in PART 3: Zoning Districts
-
The Use and Bulk Table provides information on allowable height of buildings and structures, required setbacks
for yards, and other spatial requirements for a property.
-
To understand the specific details of these requirements, you may need to reference the PART 2 - General Rules
and Regulations Applicable in All Zoning Districts, PART 4 - Additional Requirements for Specific Uses in
Different Zoning Districts and PART 6 - Definitions of this By-law.
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) on a property.
-
Check PART 5 Administration and Enforcement - PART 5 of this by-law 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 zoning bylaw and other applicable by-laws.
-
If you need a Development Permit, fill out a Development Permit application.
-
You are responsible for finding out if any other provincial or federal regulations apply to your development, as
well as any other required local permits, including a Building Permit, plumbing, electrical, demolition permits
etc.

Specific Permitted, Conditional and Accessory Uses in Different Zones of this by-law shall also apply in this zone. In the event of a
conflict between the provisions of PART 2 or PART 4 and the use and site requirements of this table, the highest or most restrictive
requirement shall prevail and shall be satisfied.
Footnotes Forming Part of Table 3.10: '"CC" Commercial Central Zone:
In addition to the minimum requirements for TABLE 3.10 (above), the following requirements shall apply:
(a)
(i)
The maximum allowable height for all buildings and structures shall be 45 feet (three stories)
except for church steeples and similar architectural components of permitted or conditionally
approved public buildings and accessory telecommunication towers.
(b)
Where a proposed use requires wastewater disposal facilities and the site is NOT serviced by a piped
municipal sewer system or a private holding tank approved by the provincial authority having jurisdiction,
the minimum bulk requirements shall be adjusted as follows:
(i)
Minimum required site area shall be two (2) acres;
(ii)
Minimum required site width shall be two hundred (200) feet;
(iii)
Minimum required side yard shall be thirty (30) feet.
(c)
In the "CC" Zone, more than one principal commercial building or commercial use of land or some
combination thereof may be permitted on a single parcel of land. Where any building or parcel is used for

satisfied. In the event of a conflict between requirements pertaining to each use or building, the higher
or more stringent requirement shall prevail and shall be satisfied.
(d)
(i)
In the case of a corner lot, the minimum required side yard setback shall be increased to 12 feet
free of all projections other than eaves and gutters.

additional dwelling unit therein.
(g)
(i)
For the purpose of interpreting the requirements of Table 3.10 herein, a semi-detached two-unit
dwelling, a row house or a multi-unit dwelling having common party walls shall be considered as
being one (1) building occupying one (1) site.
(ii)
Notwithstanding clause (i) of this footnote (above), in the case of semi-detached two-unit
dwellings, each dwelling unit may occupy a separate site, provided each site is a minimum of 4,000
sq./ft. in area and has a minimum site width of fifty (50) feet. In such circumstances, the side yard

The calculation of animal units for a species of livestock not mentioned in this Table is to be determined
by officials at Manitoba Agriculture.
Note: To calculate the number of animal units (AU) of a particular species, multiply the AU produced by
one livestock by the number of animals. For example, for 200 animal beef cows including
associated livestock equals 1.25 x 200 = 250 AUs.
