This by-law shall be known as "The Rural Municipality of Taché Zoning By-law". THE AREA 2. This By-law controls and regulates the use and development of land in the RM of Taché as shown on the zoning Maps in Schedule A. 2.2 INTENT AND PURPOSE 1. The regulations and provisions established by this by-law are deemed necessary in order to: a. Implement the objectives and policies of The Rural Municipality of Taché Development Plan b. Define and limit the powers and duties of the Rural Municipality of Taché Council (Council) and the CAO, Development Officer, or designate; and c. Regulate the use and development of land and buildings by: i. dividing the municipality into zones; ii. prescribing permitted and conditional uses for land and buildings in each zone; and iii. setting out the procedure for applying for and issuing development permits, non- conforming certificates, zoning memoranda and other similar documents; including the classes of minor development, if any, that does not require a development permit. 2.3 GENERAL SITE PROVISIONS SITE REQUIREMENTS 1. Except as otherwise provided herein, the owner shall maintain the minimum yards and site coverage required for any use in any zone. 2. No permanent building shall be constructed or placed on a parcel which does not have legal access to an improved public road built in accordance with current Municipal Servicing Standards. 3. Where a parcel is serviced by municipal piped sewer or water, no permanent building shall be constructed or placed unless it is connected to such services. VIOLATION OF PROVISIONS 4. No building or structure shall be added to, altered, enlarged, or reconstructed, and no site shall be reduced in area or yard requirements if such addition, reconstruction, enlargement, reduction or alteration will cause violation of any provisions of this By-law. 20 MULTIPLE USES 5. There may be more than one principal use, building or structure on a single site where it is reasonable to conduct such additional uses on the same site without requiring subdivision or rezoning of the subject parcel (e.g. mixed-use development, shopping centre, strip mall). Where any land or building is used for more than one principal use, all provisions of this by-law relating to each use shall be satisfied. Where there is conflict such as in the case of site area and frontage, the higher or more stringent requirement shall prevail. MULTIPLE ZONES 6. Where a parcel is within two or more zones each such portion of said parcel is considered a separate zoning site as defined herein. 2.4 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS 1. Where an application is made for the amendment of this by-law, Council may require the owner to enter into an agreement pursuant to Section 150 of The Act. The development agreement may be registered in the Land Titles Office. 2.5 CONDITIONAL USES 1. The development and execution of this by-law is based upon the division of the RM into zones. Within each zone the use of land, buildings and structures in relation to the land are to be substantially compatible. There are certain uses deemed conditional uses which, because of their unique characteristics, cannot properly be classified in any particular zone or zones without consideration of the impact of those uses upon neighbouring land and of the public need for the particular use at that particular location. FILING AN APPLICATION 2. The application shall be made to the CAO, Development Officer, or designate and must be accompanied by a site plan and any supporting material, which may include engineered plans, reports or studies, and such fees as required by Council. EXPIRY OF APPROVAL 3. The approval of Council in accordance with the provisions of the Act shall expire and cease to have any effect if it is not acted upon within twelve (12) months of the date of the decision. The conditional use order may be extended for two additional periods not longer than twelve (12) months if an application is received before the initial and subsequent deadlines. EXISTING CONDITIONAL USE 4. Where a use is classified as a conditional use under this by-law, or amendments hereto, and legally exists as a permitted or conditional use at the date of the adoption of this by-law or amendments hereto, it shall be considered as an existing conditional use. CHANGES TO AN EXISTING CONDITIONAL USE 5. Any change in a conditional use shall be subject to the provisions of this section and the appropriate provisions of the Act. 21 6. In the case of conditional use livestock operations, only a change to increase the intensity or total animal unit size of the operation, or a change to one of the conditions imposed on the approved conditional use will trigger the requirement for a new conditional use. Development and/or building permits would still be required for any enlargements or extensions of the floor area of the operation. REVOKING A CONDITIONAL USE ORDER 7. Council may revoke an approved conditional use order for a violation of any conditions imposed by it. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 8. Council may impose conditions on a conditional use which serve to secure the objectives of the Zoning By-law or Development Plan By-law. Such conditions may include, but are not limited to: a.

The Agriculture General Zone also provides flexibility to accommodate a variety of agriculture-related and resource-based uses through the conditional use process. "AL" Agriculture Limited Zone: this zone provides for agricultural uses similar to the Agriculture General Zone however, due to the proximity to Town Areas, Village Areas, Rural Living Areas and environmentally sensitive areas, certain uses that may conflict with these areas are more restricted. RESIDENTIAL ZONES "RS" Residential - Single Unit Zone: this zone provides for the development of single-unit dwellings and associate or compatible uses within the Town Areas of Lorette and Landmark. "RT" Residential -Two Unit Zone: this zone provides for the development of low and medium density single and two-unit dwellings as well as associated and compatible uses within the Town Areas of Lorette and Landmark. "RM1" Residential - Multiple Unit 1 Zone: this zone provides for the development of low to medium "townhome" density multiple-unit dwellings in one or more structure and associated or compatible uses within the Town Areas of Lorette and Landmark. "RM2" Residential - Multiple Unit 2 Zone: this zone provides for the development of medium to higher "apartment style" density multiple-unit dwellings in one or more structure and associated or compatible uses within the Town Areas of Lorette and Landmark. "RMH" Residential - Mobile Home Zone: this zone provides for the development of mobile home parks and subdivisions for mobile home dwellings and associated or compatible uses. "RRE" Residential - Rural Residential Zone - Escarpment: this zone provides for the development of low density single-unit dwellings and/or mobile home dwellings utilizing on-site wastewater and water services within rural areas. It may also include other uses that are compatible with the residential character of this zone. Minimum lot sizes within this zone are larger than RRW in order to reduce impacts on natural areas and habitat. "RRW" Residential - Rural Residential Zone - West: this zone provides for the development of low density single-unit dwellings and/or mobile home dwellings utilizing on-site wastewater and water services within rural areas. It may also include other uses that are compatible with the residential character of this zone. 54 COMMERCIAL ZONES "C" Commercial Zone: this zone provides land in the Town Areas to be developed as multi-functional in nature and support a diverse variety of appropriate uses within the Town Areas of Lorette and Landmark.

"CM" Commercial - Mixed Use Zone: this zone provides for the development of mixed uses containing commercial and residential components. This zone can accommodate mixed uses in two forms. First, single buildings with commercial and retail uses located on the ground floor with residences located on upper floors. Second, uses can be mixed on a single site in separate buildings. "CH" Commercial - Highway Zone: this zone provides for highway-orientated commercial which serves the travelling public or may not be suitable within Village Areas and Town Areas. The CH zone is also intended to provide for limited light manufacturing and agriculturally-orientated commercial in rural areas.
