AGRICULTURAL ZONES
5.1.
INTENT AND PURPOSE
The Agricultural Zones established in this By-law are intended to zone lands for agricultural and
related activities and to preserve areas for future urban development in keeping with the
provisions of the Development Plan
5.2.
ZONES
"AG" Agricultural General
This zone provides for a broad range of agricultural uses while restricting the potential for land
fragmentation. Due to the proximity to urban development, livestock operations will be restricted.
"A-UR"
Agricultural-Urban Reserve
This zone provides for agricultural uses and activities on a restricted and short term basis and to
preserve lands where urban expansion is proposed to take place in accordance with the
Development Plan. Proposals for most new uses other than agriculture must conform to the land
designations outlined in the Selkirk and District Development Plan and will require a rezoning.

RESIDENTIAL ZONES
6.1.
INTENT AND PURPOSE
The Residential Zones are intended to provide sufficient land for various types of
residential development within the residential designations of the Development Plan.
6.2.
ZONES
6.2.1. R
Residential General
The "R" Residential General Zone provides for the establishment of single family
dwellings and related compatible uses. Conditional approval may also be given for semi-
detached or duplex buildings designed for and used by not more than two (2) families,
each having exclusive residential occupancy of a dwelling unit. Each unit may have
separate title.
6.2.2. R3
Residential Multiple-Family Dwelling
The "R3" Multiple-Family Dwelling Zone provides for the development of medium to
high density multiple family housing developments such as duplexes, triplexes,
fourplexes, town or row housing, lowrise and highrise apartments.
6.2.3. RR
Rural Residential
The "RR" Rural Residential Zone has been established to provide land use guidelines for
those areas having existing large lot residential development. While these areas will
eventually evolve into more dense residential development, they currently lack necessary
City services. Current uses, in addition to the residential component, also include part-
time farming, hobby farming, equestrian uses and home occupations.
6.2.4. RM
Residential Mobile Home
The "RM" Residential Mobile Home Zone provides for areas for the placement of mobile
homes on spaces within a mobile home park, which are leased to the mobile home owner,
or on individual registered lots which may be individually owned. Also includes
associated service buildings. For more detailed regulations, refer to the City of Selkirk
Mobile Home Park By-law and amendments thereto.
6.2.5. RC
Comprehensive Residential (B/L 5102)
The "RC" Comprehensive Residential Zone is a special zone that provides for single-
family housing as a planned unit development with an overall site and building plan to be
characterized by an open space nature, preservation of natural features, staggered
setbacks and a mixture of housing styles, to the satisfaction of the planning advisory
committee and the municipal engineer.
6.2.6. RS
Residential Small Lot (BL 5291)
The "RS" Residential Small Lot provides for the establishment of single family dwellings
on smaller lot, and compatible uses.

COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL USES
For commercial uses that have interior side lot lines adjoining residential uses, the City
may require development agreements to ensure compatibility with the residential uses.
The development agreement may address, but is not limited to, such matters as:
-
Landscaping
-
Parking locations
-
Fencing
-
Outside storage
-
Lighting
-
Noise
-
Dust
7.6.
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Development standards may be addressed through development agreements between the
City and the developer. See 3.8. - Development Standards, and any development
containing outside storage shall be in accordance with 3.10. Exterior Storage.

INDUSTRIAL ZONES
8.1
INTENT AND PURPOSE
The Industrial Zones are intended to provide sufficient land for various types of industrial
development within the industrial designations of the Development Plan. Two industrial
zones have been established to reflect industrial uses that generally take place in a
landscaped setting and have a minimal impact on adjacent land uses, versus those
industrial uses that have higher impact levels -either from an environmental, or from the
land use perspective.
8.2.
ZONES
8.2.1. "M1" - Light Industrial
Provide sufficient land in suitable locations for light manufacturing, warehousing and low
impact industrial uses within industrial designations of the Development Plan, also
includes landscaped industrial parks. Uses that require outdoor storage of supplies and
equipment are not considered light industrial uses.
8.2.2
"M2" - Heavy Industrial
This zone provides for a wide range of industrial uses where a certain level of nuisance,
or environmental risk such as noise, odour, dust, vibration, aesthetics and heavy truck
traffic are unsuitable for more populated areas of the City. Typical uses are those that
require outside storage of raw and finished products and equipment.
8.2.3.
"MP" Business Park Zone (BL 5290)
This Zone is to provide land for the careful siting of light manufacturing, processing,
servicing, warehousing, wholesaling, distribution operations and commercial uses
City of Selkirk Zoning By- law 4968
8. Industrial Zones
75
including office, retail, accommodations and personal services in a planned setting in
accordance with design standards. All uses are intended to be conducted within a fully
enclosed building. Outdoor storage is subject to this Zone's design standards. Uses
requiring outdoor storage of materials will be located in the rear yard and screened from
view from adjoining streets and land uses both internal and external from the Business
Park Zone. Land uses will be developed to Business Park Standards, characterized by
landscaping to buffer sites from adjoining land uses and site development and building
aesthetics to ensure compatibility among Business Park uses and adjoining land use and
major regional transportation routes.
8.3.
USE REGULATIONS
All proposed uses in the industrial zones must comply with the use requirements as
outlined in Table 16. Uses identified as "conditional" must undertake a conditional use
process before approval can be given.

10.1. INTENT AND PURPOSE
In order to permit flexibility in the use and design of structures and land, and to allow for
specific development standards that may encompass more than one use zone, special
Overlay Zones may be permitted that will permit the implementation of area wide
development standards. Unless otherwise noted, standards that apply to the Overlay
Zones are above, and in addition to, the requirements of the underlying land use zone.
10.2. ZONES
10.2.1. D/W

heritage characteristics of the Selkirk waterfront area. All uses and exterior design and
alterations must conform to standards developed by the Planning Advisory Committee in
co-operation with Council.
10.3. APPLICATION PROCEDURE
10.3.1 Development Permits
As per Section 3.7
10.3.2. Review Process
10.3.2.1
The Downtown Waterfront Development Corporation is the
