Non-Conformities
150(1)
A building, structure, or use of land that was lawfully in existence on the date that
this by-law comes into force that is not listed as a permitted or conditional use may
continue to exist. If such non-conforming use is abandoned or if the building,
structure, or land is not so used for more than 12 consecutive months, it may not be
used except in conformity with this by-law. The presence of machinery, furniture
fixtures, or other equipment or stock-in-trade does not of itself constitute occupation
or use thereof; nor does the partial or occasional operation of such equipment or
presence of stock-in-trade of itself constitute a use of any building, structure, or
land. Any building, structure, or use of land authorized by a variance order,
conditional use order, or both is, upon adoption of this by-law and repeal of such
order or orders, deemed to comply with this by-law to the extent and for the period
of time authorized by such order or orders.
150(2)
Where a non-conforming use of a building, structure, or land provides no accessory
loading spaces or fewer spaces than the number specified in the relevant sector
regulations, the use must not be expanded or enlarged unless the number of loading
spaces required for the expansion or enlargement is provided.
By-law No. 100/2004
Part 1: Administration
10
150(3)
A building or structure that was lawfully in existence on the date that this by-law
comes into force that does not comply with the bulk requirements specified in the
relevant sector regulations may continue to exist, but no structural alteration may be
made except as required by statute or by-law. Such non-conforming building or
structure may be repaired, but if it is destroyed from any cause or damaged to an
extent that, in the opinion of the Director, the cost of repairing the damage exceeds
100% of the building's or structure's assessed value on the last revised assessment
roll, the building or structure must not be repaired or rebuilt except in conformity
with the requirements of this by-law.
150(4)
Where a building or structure does not comply with the bulk requirements specified
in the relevant sector regulations, the building or structure must not be expanded or
enlarged unless the expansion or enlargement complies with the relevant sector
regulations.
150(5)
A sign that was lawfully in existence on the date that this by-law comes into force
that does not comply with the sign requirements specified in the relevant sector
regulations may continue to exist and be repaired, provided there is no increase in
sign surface area or the degree of illumination of such sign, but may not be replaced
once the sign and/or its structure has been removed. The copy of such sign may be
changed provided such change does not constitute a change to the type of sign.
amended 100/2015

relate only to the duration of the order or something to occur or be done before the
order will come into effect, in which case the order is repealed unless the order
provides otherwise.
160(3)

repealed provisions but has not obtained a building permit for the approved use,
building or structure, that approval, and the right to obtain a building permit in

Part 2:
General Provisions
Land Use
200(1)
Land Use in this by-law is regulated on the basis of Use Categories. The intent is to
group uses with common functional or physical impact characteristics into broader
categories. Use Categories organize a range of uses that are either permitted or
conditional in Downtown Winnipeg. The uses listed under the Use Categories are
inclusive, though an exhaustive list is not provided. See subsection 120(7).
amended 206/2005
200(2)
In addition to this Part, which applies to all of Downtown Winnipeg, Parts 3 - 6
provide specific Land Use regulations applicable to each Downtown Winnipeg sector.
The sector Land use component identifies which uses are permitted and conditional
within that sector. No new use or expansion of an existing use of land may be
established contrary to the Land Use regulations of the applicable sector. Uses
identified as conditional are subject to scrutiny by the City of Winnipeg to determine
that the proposed uses support the sector intent statement at their proposed
locations and scales. A conditional use order must be granted prior to establishing a
conditional use and is subject to the following:
(a)
a conditional use order expires if the use does not begin operation within 2
years of the date of approval unless otherwise specified in the terms of
approval due to special conditions;
amended 100/2015
(b)
a conditional use order expires if the use begins operations within 2 years of
the date of approval but later ceases operations for 2 consecutive years unless
otherwise specified in the terms of approval due to special conditions;
amended 100/2015
(c)
a conditional use order may provide that the conditional use approval expires
after a specified time; and
amended 100/2015
(d)
unless otherwise provided in a conditional use order, all approved conditional
uses must be operated in accordance with all plans and documents submitted
as part of the application.
amended 100/2015
200(3)
The Land Use component of the sector regulations may also limit the maximum size
of each use onsite or the location of certain uses within the building. For the
purposes of this by-law, maximum size refers to the floor area of each individual
use; it does not limit the aggregate size of a number of uses operating on a property
or within a building.

In addition to this Part, Parts 3 - 6 may provide specific Loading regulations
applicable to each Downtown Winnipeg sector.
240(8)
Loading facilities are subject to urban design review if visible from a public right-of-
way or river. See section 250, Urban Design.
Urban Design
Urban Design Review Requirements
250(1)
All Downtown Winnipeg development, redevelopment, expansion, demolition, or
exterior alteration including signs and murals visible from public rights-of-way or
rivers is subject to urban design review and must be approved by the Director prior
to commencement. Urban design approval is required whether or not the proposal
requires a building permit, development permit, variance order, conditional use
order, or other approval.
amended 34/2014
250(2)
Notwithstanding subsection 250(1), temporary structures (for events not exceeding
14 days) do not require urban design review and approval.
250(3)
In addition to 250(1), and in accordance with subsection 100(6), urban design
approval is required for development within public roads, public lanes, public
walkways, rivers, and public rights-of-way.
250(4)
Notwithstanding subsection 250(1), interior building elements will be considered in
urban design review when their arrangement impacts on exterior pedestrian
circulation and safety aspects.
250(5)
Notwithstanding subsections 100(6) and 250(1), interior building elements within the
designated Weather Protected Walkway System will be subject to urban design
review, unless they are installed by, required by, or authorized by the City of
Winnipeg in accordance with subsection 220(9). Urban design review within the
designated Weather Protected Walkway System will focus on ensuring universal
access, visibility, and orientation through the walkway system are maintained. See
"Designated Weather Protected Walkway System" map in Appendices.
Urban Design Application and Supporting Materials
250(6)
Development application requirements are specified under Administration (section
110). To enhance urban design review, the Director may require applicants to
submit additional information to illustrate the context of a proposed development.
By-law No. 100/2004
Part 2: General Provisions
35
250(7)
Proposals for new buildings and additions must consider adverse wind conditions
that may result from the construction of the building or addition during the initial
proposal planning stages. Applications for new buildings and additions will be
reviewed for wind impacts on the pedestrian environment, as part of the urban
design review process. In order to assist this Wind Impact review, the Director
requires the following information:
(a)
for all new buildings and additions, a Wind Impact Statement (prepared by a
professional engineer), which details measures undertaken to minimize the
wind impacts of the proposed building or addition on the pedestrian
environment;
(b)
for any new buildings or additions that exceed 150 feet in height or the height
of buildings on adjacent properties by 100 feet or more, a Wind Impact Study
(prepared by a professional engineer), based on a scale model simulation
analysis that includes the following information;
amended 34/2014
(i)
an estimate of the distribution of wind speeds which can be anticipated to
occur on a weekly and monthly basis for the entire year for all adjacent
public and private pedestrian-level open spaces including public streets;
(ii)
a comparison of the estimated distribution of wind speeds with
acceptable wind comfort criteria, and the frequency and extent to which
such criteria are exceeded;
(iii) a description of the alterations to the building or enlargement which may
be expected to reduce wind speeds, and a description of any such
alterations which have been analyzed along with the results of such
analysis.
Urban Design Considerations
250(8)
Review of development, redevelopment, expansion, demolition, or exterior alteration
proposals is primarily intended to ensure the thoughtful integration of such proposals
into their local context and consistency with the standards articulated in
OurWinnipeg, the Complete Communities Direction Strategy and CentrePlan. For the
purposes of this by-law, urban design review will focus on the quality of the public
environment and be predicated on the understanding that the quality of that
environment is formed as a result of many independent creative decisions.
amended 34/2014
250(9)
The Key Considerations form the bases of urban design review in Downtown
Winnipeg, as follows:
By-law No. 100/2004
Part 2: General Provisions
36
(a)
they are provided to assist property owners, design professionals,
administrators, decision-makers, advisory committee members, and other
parties involved in preparing, reviewing, or approving new developments,
redevelopments, expansions, and exterior alterations;
(b)
they provide a bridge between current downtown policy desires and any
detailed urban design guidelines, standards, or criteria that may be generated
for specific downtown sectors (or portions thereof) and which would then
supplant the Key Considerations;
(c)
they are not intended to stifle or discourage creativity; instead, they provide a
framework within which to exercise creative design approaches.
250(10)
The Key Considerations are as follows:
amended 206/2005
(a)
Building Placement:
(i)
in general, buildings are expected to provide minimal setbacks to public
road rights-of-way (front and corner side yards);
amended 34/2014
(ii)
building setbacks for Active uses (e.g. sidewalk cafés, newsstands,
retailer displays) can be accommodated;
(iii) building setbacks to hotel, Public & Institutional, and Cultural &
Entertainment uses can be accommodated;
(iv) where residential uses are located at street level, building setbacks are
encouraged (front and corner side yards)
(v)
where a consistent building alignment exists along a block, buildings are
expected to respect this alignment (front and corner side yards);
(vi) rear and interior side yards are not generally a concern, though in areas
typified by a continuous block face (e.g. Exchange District), infill is
expected to respect this form.
(b)
Facade treatment & Building Entrances:
(i)
open and inviting building facades are encouraged at street level and 2nd
storey, in order to enhance the convenience, comfort, and enjoyment of
pedestrian experiences and enhance interactions between the public
realm and business operations on private property;
amended 206/2005; 34/2014
By-law No. 100/2004
Part 2: General Provisions
37
(ii)
long, undifferentiated blank walls located at street level and along public
roads are discouraged; Instead, they should be enhanced by
combinations of transparent windows (not reflective or spandrel), window
displays, Active Uses, vertical architectural features (e.g. columns, bays,
fenestration,
pilasters),
and
contrasting
building
materials/textures/colours/shades;
(iii) opaque window signs, storage of materials blocking windows,
permanently closed blinds, and other measures or operations that
hamper transparent street level pedestrian/business interactions are
discouraged;
(iv) direct access to retailers, service providers, and customer service areas
from street level is encouraged;
(v)
multiple entrances from street level to large developments are
encouraged;
(vi) measures to enhance visibility and accessibility of building entrances (e.g.
setbacks or projections from building wall, architectural features,
contrasting materials, ornamentation) are encouraged.
(c)
Driveways & Building Services:
(i)
in order to encourage an uninterrupted pedestrian boulevard, numbers
and dimensions of motor vehicle driveways, private approaches, and
other intrusions into the boulevard should be minimized;
(ii)
access to offstreet parking facilities, delivery loading spaces, refuse
storage areas, and other building services is encouraged to be via public
lane (or from secondary street, when public lane is not available);
(iii) offstreet parking facilities, delivery loading spaces, refuse storage areas,
and other building services are encouraged to be located internal to
buildings;
(iv) offstreet parking facilities, delivery loading spaces, refuse storage areas,
and other building services located adjacent to public roads and
residential uses are encouraged to be screened via landscaping, fencing,
building wingwalls, or combinations, ensuring pedestrian access and
motor vehicle sight lines are maintained;
(v)
offstreet parking facilities, delivery loading spaces, refuse storage areas,
and other building services located between building walls and public
roads are discouraged.
By-law No. 100/2004
Part 2: General Provisions
38
(d) Signs:
(i)
signs are expected to enhance visibility-helpful in identifying a building or
use; legible, clear, ordered copy/logo/symbol; visible primarily to
pedestrians (traveling at less than 10 km/h), secondarily to motorists
(traveling at more than 50 km/h); not obscuring neighbouring signs; not
limiting individual tenant opportunities at multiple-tenant sites;
(ii)
signs are expected to enable orientation-helpful in finding a building or
use, from a distance or up close;
(iii) signs cannot negatively impact personal safety or motor vehicle safety-
located and anchored safely and out of the way of pedestrians; not
obscuring or mimicking traffic signs/signals;
(iv) signs are expected to respect historic areas and important sites; protect
valued views and vistas; and complement other notable downtown
features.
(v)
signs are expected to be of a high quality, well integrated with the
character of the building or site; other forms such as fascia-mounted
banners would be considered for temporary signage only, primarily for
events, for new developments or redevelopments.
added 34/2014
(e) Vacant Land:
(i)
demolition without plans for new development may be approved provided
the vacant lot will be compatible with the area and will not create
pressures for surface parking on the site;
(ii)
if demolition is approved, the site must be improved in accordance with
the conditions of Urban Design Review immediately following demolition;
(iii) minimum improvements should include the site being leveled and sodded,
any private approaches removed, with the curb and sidewalk restored,
and fencing installed as necessary to prevent vehicular access.

Intent
400
This section is intended to encourage a compatible, fine-grained mix of uses-rather
than a separation of uses in these diverse areas. The built form is key in this sector,
ranging from the compact massing of the Exchange District, to the monumental
Tyndall stone buildings near the Legislative Buildings, to the engaging variety of
buildings and structures at The Forks. Urban design review in the Character Sector
is intended to reinforce the valued current built forms in the Exchange District
(identified in the National Historic Site Commemorative Integrity Statement) and
near the Legislative Buildings, as well as the values expressed in The Forks North
Portage Partnership Concept Plan, including enhanced pedestrian comfort.
