9.1.1.
The Zoning District maps provided herein form part of this By-law.
9.1.2.
Should uncertainty or dispute arise relative to the precise location of the boundary of any Zoning
District, as depicted on the Zoning District Maps, the location shall follow the closest logical
boundary, a line that is parallel, or an extension to such an existing feature, as determined by the
Development Officer, including:
The centre line of streets, lanes, or other public thoroughfares;
Existing site boundaries;
Municipal limits;
The centre of pipelines, railway lines, or utility easements; and
A topographic contour and/or embankment line.
9.1.3.
No Zoning District shall apply to any public road right-of-way and, should a public right-0f-way be
closed, it will then carry the same zoning as the abutting lands. Where different Zoning Districts

9.1.4.
Where one lot has more than one Zoning District, the area illustrated for a particular Zoning District
shall be treated as the development site and must comply with the bulk regulations for the Zoning
District, using the zoning line as the measurement for lot size and setbacks.
