Non-Conforming Uses (1) This Regulation is derived from Section 108 (2) of the Urban and Rural Planning Act 2000, and Sections 14, 15, and 16 of the Ministerial Development Regulations. (2) Notwithstanding a plan, scheme or regulations made under the Urban and Rural Planning Act 2000, the Town shall, in accordance with regulations made under this Act, allow a development or use of land to continue in a manner that does not conform with a regulation, scheme, or plan that applies to that land provided that the non-conforming use legally existed before the registration under Section 24 of the Act of the plan, scheme or regulations made with respect to that kind of development or use. (3) A right to resume a discontinued non-conforming use of land shall not exceed one year. For the purpose of this Regulation, discontinuance of a non- conforming use begins when any one of the following conditions is met: a) the building or use of land is clearly vacated or the building is demolished; b) the owner or tenant has ceased paying business occupancy taxes for that use; c) the owner or tenant has stated in writing that the use has ceased. (4) A building, structure or development that does not conform to a scheme, plan --- 27 Town of Cupids Development Regulations 2014 PART II -- GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS or regulations made under this Act that is allowed to continue under subsection (2): a) shall not be internally or externally varied, extended or expanded unless otherwise approved by the Town; b) shall not be structurally modified except as required for the safety of the building, structure or development; c) shall not be reconstructed or repaired for use in the same non-conforming manner where 50% or more of the value of that building, structure or development has been destroyed; d) may have the existing use for that building, structure or development varied by the Town to a use that is, in their opinion more compatible with a plan and regulations applicable to it; e) may have the existing building extended by the Town where, in its opinion that extension is not more than 50% of the existing building; f) where the non-conformance is with respect to the standards included in development regulations, the building, structure or development shall not be expanded if the expansion would increase the non-conformity -- and an expansion must comply with the development standards applicable to that building, structure or development; g) where the building or structure is primarily zoned and used for residential purposes, may, in accordance with the appropriate plan and regulations, be repaired or rebuilt where 50% or more of the value of that building or structure is destroyed; and h) a residential building or structure referred to in the above paragraph must, where being repaired or rebuilt, be repaired or rebuilt in accordance with the plan and development regulations applicable to that building or structure.

Offstreet Loading and Parking Requirements See Schedule D. 60. Protected Water Body A Protected Water Body includes the marine coastline and streams ponds and wetlands which appear on the 50,000 base mapping. Any development activities, including fording, within 15 metres of the high water mark of these water bodies must be approved under Section 48 of the Water Resources Act by the Department of Environment and Conservation. See also Regulation 73 -- Waterways and Wetlands. This Regulation however, does not prevent the Town from protecting any water body (waterway and wetland) within the Planning Area, nor does it prevent the Town from imposing greater setbacks or buffers along water bodies than the minimums required by the Department of Environment and Conservation. 61. Residential Buffer (1) Where any proposed non-residential use is to abut an existing or proposed residential use or a residential zone, the proponent of the non-residential development may be required to provide a buffer. Conversely, in the case of a residential development locating adjacent to an existing or proposed non- residential use or zone, the Town may require the developer of the residential use to provide a buffer. Any such buffer shall be made up of hedges, trees, shrubs, earthen berms or structural barriers that will sufficiently mitigate noise, visual unpleasantness and other undesirable effects. Trees and shrubs existing on the site prior to development which could form all or part of a buffer shall not be removed. (2) Before approving any non-residential development near existing or proposed residential development or Residential zones, the Town must be satisfied that the proposed non-residential development: a) will not give rise to excessive noise or other forms or pollution; b) will not generate vehicle traffic which is above the level acceptable to adjacent residential amenities; 29 Town of Cupids Development Regulations 2014 PART 11-- GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS c) will not cause an unacceptable nuisance or hazard to adjacent residential uses; and; d) in general, can be considered acceptable to the amenity of residential uses. 62. Screening and Landscaping The provision of adequate and suitable landscaping or screening may be made a condition of any development permit where, in the opinion of the Town, the landscaping or screening is desirable to preserve amenity, or protect the environment, and, in the case of existing unsightly development, the Town may order the owner or occupier to provide adequate and suitable landscaping or screening; and for this purpose may require the submission of an application giving details of the landscaping or screening, and these Regulations shall then apply to that application. 63. Site Development When reviewing a development proposal, including roads, the Town shall consider the suitability of a site in terms of steepness of slopes, soils and geology, potential for coast-line erosion, location of waterways and wetlands along with other matters and shall, when considering approval, ensure, to the best of its ability, that the development has minimal or no negative effects on other properties and bodies of water or that the development itself will not be negatively affected. If the Town is of the opinion that development of a site may create negative impacts on nearby properties and water bodies, and/or raises concerns about short or long term the safety of the development itself, the Town can require the submission of a review of the development proposal by a certified engineer, geoscientist, landscape architect or similar professional. 64. Site Development -- Fill and Landscaping Permit Requirements (1) A permit shall not be required for ordinary landscaping of a property or the creation of a garden and similar activity unless such activity is likely to affect adjacent properties or a water body. (2) A permit shall be obtained from the Town before any filling-in or excavation of land takes place. This permit may be the same as the one obtained for the construction of a dwelling or other use. - PPI (3) Where such filling-in or excavation can affect the buffer of water body or the 30 Town of Cupids Development Regulations 2014 PART H-- GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS water body, then a permit shall also be obtained from the Department of Environment and Conservation, and where applicable, the Department of Transportation Canada (Navigable Waters Act). (4) A landscaping and site grading plan for any new development shall form part of the application for a development permit for a development which entails the development of the entire site or significant portion thereof and to this application shall be attached a plan showing vegetation -- particularly trees, water-bodies, rock outcrops and other natural features. 65. Site Development -- Quarry and Soil Removal (1) If, as part of another development, quarry material is to be removed and sold or otherwise disposed of, then a separate permit shall be obtained from the Department of Natural Resources, Mineral Lands Division, for the removal of quarry materials. A copy of the Town's permit must be forwarded to the Mineral Lands Division. (2) A site development quarry under this Regulation is permitted wherever the use that this quarry is associated with is permitted. (3) A quarry permit issued under this Regulation shall only be valid for a period of one year or the term of the site development, whichever is the lesser. However, if the Town feels that it is warranted, the permit may be renewed for additional one-year periods up to a maximum of three years from the date of the issuance of the first permit. (4) When the work is completed, the area affected shall be suitably landscaped and drained in accordance with a plan approved by the Town. (5) If the site work is extensive, the Town may require the deposit of surety in accordance with Regulation 14(3) that shall be returned to the developer upon satisfactory completion of the work. 66. Site Development -- Slope Greater than 15 Percent or 20 Percent (1) Before approving development of a site having a slope greater than 15 percent up to 20 percent, the Town may require the submission of a review of the development proposal by a certified planner, engineer, landscape architect or similar professional. The review shall evaluate the adequacy of site grading, drainage and landscaping and storm water management and the potential of the development to cause erosion onto and pollution of adjacent development and lands and bodies of water receiving run-off from the site, .1 a 31 WSJ Town of Cupids Development Regulations 2014 PART II -- GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS and other similar matters. (2) No development shall be permitted on a slope greater 20 percent unless it is a public or private recreational use or public service or utility. 67.

Fifteen metre wide buffers measured from the centre-line of trails are established along trails to protect the trail system and to protect nearby residents. These are shown as the Trail Corridor on the Land Use Zoning Maps which is a thirty (30) metre wide overlay over existing zones. The actual location of such trails and their corridors may vary slightly from that shown on the maps. Within the Trail Corridor only the uses allowed under Regulation 70 can be permitted unless the Town the has determined that certain permitted and discretionary uses of the zone in which the Corridor is located can or may be permitted without detriment to the Trail. 70. Unsubdivided Land Development is not permitted on unsubdivided land unless sufficient area is reserved to satisfy the yard and other allowances called for in the Use Zone in which it is located and the allowances shall be retained when the adjacent land is developed. 32 Town of Cupids Development Regulations 2014 PART II -- GENERAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 71. Uses Permitted In All Zones In addition to conservation, which includes architectural, historical and scenic sites under Schedule B, accessory buildings and uses, public services and public utilities, recreational open space, trails, roads, accesses and driveways can be allowed in all zones subject to the necessary reviews and compliance with these Regulations and the Municipal Plan. 72.
