BULK REGULATIONS
All lots, buildings or structures in the residential zones must comply with the yard
requirements as outlined in Table 14.
All new development including subdivisions in residential areas will be required to
adhere to site planning guidelines to provide for future re-subdivision based upon the
possible future extension of the provision of municipal water and wastewater services by:
i. designating the building location area of each lot using development agreements,
when rezoning applications are made; and
ii. establishing side yard setbacks that off-set the dwelling to one side of the lot to
ease the process of future lot development should municipal services be
requested or become available.
