EXPLANATORY NOTE
Zoning By-Law No. 43 - 2015
of the
Corporation of the Municipality of Bluewater
Preamble
The Zoning By-law was passed on April 20, 2015 under Section 34 of the Planning Act. It implements the
Official Plan for the Municipality of Bluewater which was adopted by the Council of the Municipality of
Bluewater on April 5, 2005.
The Zoning By-law comprises both text and the zone maps on which are delineated the various zones
created in the By-law.
Purpose
The purpose of this By-law is to provide the Corporation of the Municipality of Bluewater with regulations
which will affect control over all forms of land use or other related matters within the Municipality.
Basis
Such regulations have been deemed necessary and in the public interest by local Council in order that
possible conflicts between existing and proposed land uses can be minimized or reduced in the future.
Affected Lands
The lands directly affected by this By-law are all properties lying wholly or partly within the corporate limits
of the Municipality of Bluewater.
Existing By-Laws
From the coming into force of this By-law, all previous by-laws of the Municipality passed pursuant to
Section 34 of The Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended or a predecessor thereof, shall be deemed to
have been repealed.
Duration
It is the intention of the Council that this Zoning By-law will be effective until circumstances change to such
a degree that a revision and updating of the By-law is required. Additional uses for specific lands may be
permitted by means of a rezoning or amendment to the Zoning By-law.
It is the intention of the Council to accept and review applications to amend the Zoning By-law in order to
allow the establishment of uses which are permitted by the Municipality of Bluewater Official Plan.
Effect
This Zoning By-law is designed to regulate by prohibition all new development except that specifically
allowed in the By-law. Municipal Council does, however, have the legal authority to review the merits of
any new use which is not specifically allowed by the By-law. If Council, after studying a proposal for a new
use, is satisfied that the new use is in the best interests of the Municipality and in conformity with the
Bluewater Official Plan and other Planning Act requirements, the new use may be permitted provided that
a separate By-law amending this By-law is passed which would permit the new use on the specified parcel
of land, subject to appropriate regulations.

Where the zone symbol designating certain lands as shown on the zone maps is followed by a
dash and a number, (for example R2-1), then special provisions apply to such lands and such
special provisions will be found by reference to that section of the By-law which deals with that
particular zone. Lands designated in this manner shall be subject to all the restrictions of the
zone except as otherwise provided by the special provisions.
1.19 Boundaries Of Zones
Zone boundaries are construed to be property lines, street lines, or the boundaries of
Registered Plans, lanes, private roads, and unopened road allowances as interpreted in
accordance with the map legend shown on the zone maps.
Where any zone on the zone maps abuts a natural watercourse, such zone shall be deemed to
apply to the natural watercourse and any islands within the watercourse.
In the event a street, lane, private road, or road allowance, shown on the zone maps is closed,
the property formerly in said street, lane, private road, or road allowance shall be included within
the zone of the adjoining property on either side of the said closed street, lane, private road, or
road allowance unless:
a) the said street, lane, private road, or road allowance was a zone boundary between two or
more different zones, in which case the new zone boundary shall be the former centreline of
the closed street, lane, private road, or road allowance;
b) the land formerly included in such street, lane, private road, or road allowance is purchased
in its entirety by an abutting landowner, in which case the said land shall be included in the
same zone as that of the abutting landowner purchasing said land; or
c) the land formerly included in such street, lane, private road, or road allowance is purchased
in its entirety by a person or persons other than an abutting landowner, in which case the
said land shall be included in the abutting zone which is the most restrictive in terms of use
or density.
Following the street, lane, private road, or road allowance closure, the appropriate zone map in
this By-law shall be amended in accordance with the above provision. These administrative
amendments are permitted from time to time without further public notice or Council approval.
Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various zones as shown on the
zone maps, the following rules shall apply:
a) Any street, lane, private road, or road allowance wholly within the boundary of a zone as
shown on the zone maps is deemed not to be zoned but is to be used for public highway
purposes.
b) Where any zone boundary is shown as approximately the centreline of a street, lane,
watercourse, or easement, such zone boundary shall be construed to follow the centreline
of the street, lane, watercourse or easement or the production thereof.
c) Where the zone boundaries are not shown to be streets, private roads, or lanes, and where
indicated boundaries on the zone maps are approximately property lines, the property lines
shall be construed to be the zone boundaries unless the boundaries are otherwise indicated
on the zone map.
d) Where a zone boundary is not a street, lane, private road, road allowance, property line, or
watercourse and a specific measurement indicating the position of the said boundary is not
