contained in an adjacent water body; or
b. Endure actual effects of such hazards have occurred, are occurring, or have been
predicted by engineers to occur.
2.7
Setbacks
General regulations for setbacks to land features, specific uses and property lines for each lot type are
provided in Table 1: Setback Provisions below. Detailed regulations for these provisions can be found in
the subsequent sections, along with figures to help identify respective lot types.
Table 1: Setback Provisions
Setback Parameter /
Lot Type
Setback Provisions
Riparian
100 feet (30 meters) setback unless determined otherwise by a qualified
engineer investigation, geotechnical report.
Flood/erosion hazard
Setback measured horizontally landward from the toe of the slope to a
distance equal to three times the height of the slope, plus a minimum erosion
allowance of 50 feet (15 meters).
Lagoon
984 Feet (300 meters)
Planned Unit
Developments and
Consolidated Lots
Setbacks are only applied to external lot lines of the overall Planning Area.
Infill Dwellings (Interior
Lots)
Front yard setback must be consistent with the average of the existing front
yards facing the same public road and on the same side of the block.
Corner Lots
The Development Officer may require two front yards on a subject corner lot if
necessary.
Reverse Corner Lots
(and Key Lot)
The front yard setback of the adjacent interior lot (or Key Lot) determines the
exterior side yard setback of the reverse corner lot for up to 20 feet. It then
reverts to the side yard setback measurement as noted in Section 6 for the
respective zoning category.
Corner Lot Sight Area
Corner lots must provide a triangular buffer area at the corner of the property
closest to the public road, where nothing taller than 2.5 feet can be placed.
Through Lots
Through lots are subject to front yard setback requirements on both frontages if
the lot is not a corner lot. If the through lot is also a corner lot, the shorter lot
line with be the frontage. If both lines are same length, the lot line where the
main access to the lot is provided will be the frontage.
Flag Lots
Front yard setbacks for Flag lots shall exclude the access corridor portion (i.e.
the pole portion) when measuring.
Commercial/Industrial
near Residential
A buffer area must be provided where any commercial or industrial zone
shares a lot line with a residential land use.

2.7.1 Setbacks along Water Bodies
Notwithstanding other sections of this by-law, the following provisions apply:
(1) In areas where the specific flood, erosion and bank instability hazards have not been determined,
new principal buildings and structures shall be set back from all water bodies at a distance an
engineering investigation shows that these limits should be established, and at the discretion of
the local planning authority, and the applicable provincial authority.
(2) The setbacks limiting development adjacent to water bodies established above may be reduced
subject to geotechnical, engineering or environmental assessment by a professional engineer,

Classification of Uses
(1) The list of land-uses in this By-law is not exhaustive, nor is it intended to be exhaustive. New
types of land-uses will develop, and forms of land-uses not anticipated may seek to locate in the
Planning Area. Any person may apply to the Development Officer for an interpretation as to
whether a proposed land-use falls within any of the land-use categories or use types in this By-
law, and, if so, which one. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Canada
should provide a valuable resource in determining land-uses into classes and zones since version
(2017 V 2.0) was used extensively to define each of the land-uses.
(2) The Development Officer must provide the interpretation in writing, and shall take into account the
nature of the proposed land-use and its potential impacts, including but not limited to: whether it
involves dwelling units, sales; processing, type of product, storage and amount, and nature
thereof; enclosed or open storage; anticipated employment; transportation requirements;
excessive noise, odour, fumes, dust, toxic material, and vibration likely to be generated; and the
general requirements for public services.
(3) The Development Officer shall have the authority to provide an interpretation of a land-use but
shall not have the authority to add a new permitted or conditional use to this By-law without the
appropriate public hearing for an amendment to the text of this By-law.
(4) An appeal of the Development Officer's interpretation may be made to Council.

Allowable Uses: Permitted and Conditional
The permitted and conditional uses are land-uses prescribed for lands within each zone, which set out in the
Land-Use Tables for each Zoning District.
(1) Where a use is not listed and is not similar to, or accessory to, a permitted or conditional principal
use, or a permitted or conditional secondary use, the land-use is not allowed in the zone.
7.3
Bulk Regulations
No land, building, or structure shall be used or occupied, and no building or structure shall be constructed,

7.4
Planned Development Overlay Districts
The following overlay zoning districts are hereby established, and each such district is intended for the
purposes described below.
St-Pierre-Jolys Zoning By-law 2021-11
Zoning Districts | 76
7.4.1 Planned Development Overlay - 1 (PDO-1)
(1) The purpose of the Planned Development Overlay 1 (PDO-1) overlay district is to provide a
means to alter or specify allowed uses and/or development standards in otherwise appropriate
zones, in unique or special circumstances, in order to achieve local planning objectives in
specially designated areas.
(2) A PDO-1 zoning district is appropriate when additional zoning controls are required to address an
area-wide (rather than site-specific) condition, or to implement an area-wide plan for the proposed
district. PDO-1 districts are generally appropriate for areas with unique or special circumstances.
(3) The PDO-1 overlay should meet the following criteria:
a. The proposed development regulations apply to more than one land parcel or more than
one underlying base zoning district;
b. The proposed development rules are unique to the proposed area, and are not likely to be
used in other areas of the Village without significant changes;
c.
The proposed development rules contain relatively minor changes to the permitted and
conditional uses in the underlying zoning district and/or minor changes to permitted
dimensional standards applicable to the underlying zoning district; or
d. The proposed development regulations of the PDO are to implement the policies of a
Secondary Plan.
(4) The PDO-1 overlay must only be applied to zones where specified through a text amendment to
the By-law. Such amendment must include:
a. A map of the location(s) of any lands affected by the overlay at an appropriate scale
indicating the designation, location, and boundaries of each underlying zoning district; and
b. Every regulation specified or changed each for the underlying zoning district by the PDO-1
overlay including the addition or removal of allowable uses.
(5) The PDO-1 overlay may not be used:
a. In conjunction with a PDO-2 overlay district;
b. Where the proposed changes to the regulations of the underlying zoning district:
i.
are significant enough to be inconsistent with the general purpose of the
underlying zoning district(s) and the designation of another existing zone district in
this By-law would be more appropriate;
ii.
are not merely related to local planning objectives but would have significant
general application to warrant an amendment to the text of the underlying zoning
district itself or to create a new Zoning District; or
iii. are intended to provide such detailed or site-specific control over the design and
siting of a special development that the use of the PDO-2 district would be more
appropriate.
(6) The regulations provided in the PDO-1 district may be substituted for the specified regulations of
the underlying zone. Where there is a conflict between the provisions of the PDO-1 district and
those of the underlying zone, the provisions of the PDO-1 govern.
(7) All regulations in the Zoning By-law must apply to development in the area covered by the
St-Pierre-Jolys Zoning By-law 2021-11
Zoning Districts | 77
adopted PDO-1 overlay, unless the PDO-1 By-law specifically modifies or alleviates those
regulations.
(8) All adopted PDO-1 districts shall be contained in attached schedules which form part of this By-
law.
7.4.2 Planned Development Overlay - 2 (PDO-2) [Special Site]
(1) PDO-2 is a zoning district which modifies the zoning regulations and standards of an existing
zoning district by tailoring the zoning to address the specific needs of a development project
planned for a site. PDO-2s formulate the site-specific regulations in response to on-site
conditions, or to mitigate off-site impacts associated with a planned development.
(2) The purpose of a PDO-2 overlay district is to provide for site-specific control over an individual
proposed development, in unique or special circumstances, where any other zone would be
inappropriate or inadequate.
(3) A PDO-2 district is appropriate when the proposed development regulations do not relate to an
area-wide condition but are specific to a lot(s) or parcel(s) proposed for the PDO-2 zoning. PDO-2
districts are appropriate for a development with unique or special site characteristics not
contemplated in the existing zoning districts.
(4) This PDO-2 overlay must only be applied to a well-defined site to regulate a specific development
being proposed under the following circumstances:
a. The proposed development exceeds the development provisions of the closest equivalent
existing zoning district.
b. The proposed development requires specific regulations to ensure land use conflicts with
adjoining and adjacent properties are minimized.
c.
The site for the proposed development has unique characteristics that require specific
regulations.
d. The ongoing operation of the proposed development and the unique nature of the land-
use(s) requires specific regulations to that site.
(5) The PDO-2 overlay must only be applied to zones where specified through a text amendment to
the By-law. Such amendment must include:
a. A map of the location(s) of any lands affected by the overlay at an appropriate scale
indicating the designation, location, and boundaries of the PDO-2 overlay; and
b. Every regulation specified by this By-law for a zoning district to be regulated by the PDO-2
overlay including allowable use and lot dimensions.
(6) The regulations provided in the PDO-2 district substitute the specified regulations of the By-law,
and the provisions of the PDO-2 govern.
(7) All regulations in the By-law shall apply to a development in the area covered by the adopted
PDO-2 overlay, unless the PDO-2 By-law specifically modifies or alleviates those regulations.
(8) All adopted PDO-2 districts shall be contained in attached schedules which form part of this By-
law.
