ZONING BY-LAW
BY-LAW NO. 32-2023
PELICAN-ROCK LAKE PLANNING DISTRICT ZONING BY-LAW
I
INTRODUCTION
This Zoning By-law shall be used and administered in accordance with the Pelican-Rock Lake Planning District (the
District) Development Plan and any amendments thereto. The District Development Plan establishes policies and
objectives to manage growth and change. The Zoning By-law, in turn, implements these policies and objectives
through corresponding land use and development regulations.
HOW TO USE THIS BY-LAW
This Zoning By-law regulates the use, size, height, and location of buildings and structures on properties within the
Pelican-Rock Lake Planning District. In order to determine these regulations for any specific property, follow the
four-step process outlined below to acquire the information you need.
Step 1 - Identify the Applicable Zoning District
→ Use the Zoning Maps [PART 8] to determine the zoning district in which your property is located.
→ Reference PART 3: ZONING DISTRICTS of this By-law for a description of that zoning district.
→ Look at the District Development Plan to make sure your proposal aligns with relevant policies.
Step 2 - Identify Permitted / Conditional Uses in the Zoning District
→ Find the Use Table for the zoning district applicable to your property in PART 3: ZONING DISTRICTS.
→ Uses marked with the letter "P" are permitted and may be developed once you have a permit.
→ Uses marked with the letter "C" are conditional and may or may not be permitted depending on the
circumstances of the proposal, as evaluated according to the criteria provided in PART 6:
ADMINISTRATION.
→ Uses marked with the symbol "-" are not permitted in the applicable zoning district.
→ Some uses may have special requirements as set out in PART 4: USE SPECIFIC STANDARDS.
Step 3 - Identify How and Where Your Property can be Developed
→ Find the Dimensional Standards table for the applicable zoning district in PART 3: ZONING DISTRICTS.
→ The Dimensional Standards table provides information on building heights, sizes, and required yards, as
well as other spatial requirements for development sites.
→ Look at PART 2: GENERAL REGULATIONS for details on regulations applicable to all development.
→ Reference PART 7: DEFINITIONS as needed to ensure a complete understanding of this By-law.
Step 4 - Identify the Permits / Approvals Required to Proceed
→ In most cases, you will require a Development Permit before you can proceed with any change in land use
or development, but when in doubt you should contact the Planning District Office.
→ Reference PART 6: ADMINISTRATION to see if your planned development is exempt from needing a
Development Permit, in which case you may proceed with the project, as long as your project meets the
other requirements of this By-law and other applicable Municipal By-laws.
→ You are responsible for finding out any other provincial or federal regulations that apply to your
development, as well as any other permits you are required to obtain from the Planning District.

for the establishment or widening of a public road or drain, or for any other public work, the land
which has been acquired shall be deemed to be part of the site for purposes of determining
compliance with the minimum site area and site width requirements and required yards for existing
buildings as specified by this By-law. However, where new buildings or structures are proposed, the
required yards shall be determined by the location of actual site boundaries.
h) Where a roadway has been designated as a truck route by Board resolution, any required yard
abutting the truck route shall be double the value set out in the applicable dimensional standards
table, unless otherwise permitted in writing by the Designated Officer.

a portion or all of the setback be dedicated as a public reserve. The building setback will be
determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the identification of the possibility for erosion,
bank instability, or slumping to pose an added risk to property and/or public safety.
f)
The Board will, at its own discretion; determine the need for and width of any public reserve along
watercourses in the District. In situations where the province will retain ownership and responsibility
for the public reserve, the Board`s decision will dutifully consider any advice received from the
province. The location of any public reserve may be shown on a surveyor`s plan or shown as Open
Space Zone on the Zoning Map attached to this By-law.
g) Applicants shall be required, as recommended by a geotechnical report, or review thereof, to take
any required measures to halt the erosion process within a proposed development area, which must
be verified by a certified engineer of Manitoba prior to the issuance of a Development Permit.
