Introduction
These pages explain the purpose of this Zoning By-law and how it should be used. These pages do not
form part of the Zoning By-law passed by Council and are intended only to make the Zoning By-law more
understandable and easier to reference.
Purpose of This Zoning By-law
The purpose of this Zoning By-law is to implement the policies of the Town of Bracebridge Official Plan.
The Official Plan contains general policies that affect the use of land throughout the municipality. These
policies specify where certain land uses are permitted and, in some instances, specify what regulations
should apply to the development of certain lands.
The Official Plan is a general document that is not intended to regulate every aspect of the built-form on a
private lot. In the Province of Ontario, this is the role of the Zoning By-law. Once an Official Plan is in
effect, any Zoning By-law passed by Council must conform to the Official Plan. For example, if the
Official Plan stated that lands in the vicinity of a significant natural feature are to remain in their natural
state, the Zoning By-law would prohibit the erection of buildings or structures on those lands.
The statutory authority to zone land is granted by the Ontario Planning Act. The Planning Act specifies
what a by-law can regulate. A Zoning By-law can:
-
prohibit the use of land or buildings for any use that is not specifically permitted by the By-law;
-
prohibit the erection or sitting of buildings and structures on a lot except in locations permitted by
the By-law;
-
regulate the type of construction and the height, bulk, location, size, floor area, spacing, and use
of buildings or structures;
-
regulate the minimum frontage and depth of a parcel of land;
-
regulate the proportion of a lot that any building or structure may occupy;
-
regulate the minimum elevation of doors, windows or other openings in buildings or structures;
-
require parking and loading facilities be provided and maintained for a purpose permitted by the
By-law; and,
-
prohibit the use of lands and the erection of buildings or structures on land that is:
-
subject to flooding;
-
the site of steep slopes;
-
rocky, low-lying, marshy or unstable;
-
contaminated;
-
a sensitive groundwater recharge area or head water area;
-
the location of a sensitive aquifer;
-
a significant wildlife habitat area, wetland, woodland, ravine, valley or area of natural and
scientific interest;
-
a significant corridor or shoreline of a lake, river or stream; or,
-
the site of a significant archaeological resource.

How to Use This By-law
In order to reference this By-law more easily, a property owner should follow each of the steps listed
below to determine what permissions apply to their particular property.
1.
Locate the Property on a Map
Maps in a Zoning By-law are called 'Schedules'. The first step to using this By-law is to
refer to the zone schedules that are contained in the Zoning Schedules book to
determine in which zone category your property is located. The zone category will be
indicated on the schedules by a symbol or abbreviation. For example, you may see a
symbol such as "R1" beside your property. This would indicate that your property is
within the 'Residential Type 1 Zone'. The zone symbols or abbreviations are explained
on the first page of Section 2 of the By-law.
Section 2 also provides assistance to help you identify the zone boundaries on the
Schedules. For example, if your property appears close to a zone boundary and you are
not sure how to determine exactly where that boundary is located, refer to Section 2.3 of
the By-law.
2.
By-law Amendments
A Zoning By-law is not a static document; it is amended over time as demands and
policies governing land use change. Before proceeding any further, you should verify
that your property is not the subject of an earlier Zoning By-law amendment. These
amendments are listed in Section 7 of this By-law. More recent amendments may not be
included in the version of the By-law you are using. Staff in the Town's Development
Services Department will be able to assist you to confirm if your property has been
subject to a more recent by-law amendment.
3.
Permitted Uses
The next step to using this By-law is to determine what uses are permitted on your
property. Section 3 of the By-law identifies the permitted uses for each zone in the
municipality. The definitions in Section 6 can assist you if you are not sure of the nature
of a use or how it has been defined for the purposes of this By-law. Words that are
defined in Section 6 are italicized throughout the By-law. If a word is not italicized, it is
not specifically defined. Uses, which are not identified as permitted uses within a
particular zone are not permitted in that zone.
4.
Zone Standards
Steps 1, 2 and 3 have now identified the zone in which your property is located and have
identified what uses are permitted on your property. The next step is to determine what
standards may apply to the uses on your property. Section 4 of the By-law also identifies
the zone standards for each zone in the municipality including standards for minimum lot
area, minimum frontage requirements, minimum yard requirements, maximum lot
coverage for buildings, maximum permitted height of buildings and in some cases, the
minimum required landscaped area on the lot.
PREAMBLE

Page iii
5.
General Provisions
Now that you are aware of the uses permitted on your property and the specific zone
standards that apply to those uses, reference should be made to Section 4 of this By-law.
Section 4 contains a more generic set of standards known as 'General Provisions' that
apply to all properties in all zones throughout the municipality. For example, the general
provisions contain standards that regulate the construction and location of docks,
sleeping cabins and boathouses that apply to all properties regardless of where in the
municipality a property is located.
6.
Parking and Loading
There is one final section of the By-law that should be consulted when determining what
permissions apply to your specific property. Section 5 provides the parking and loading
requirements for all permitted uses in the municipality. If you are considering changing
the use of your property or adding a new use to your property, you should review Section
5 to ensure that you are aware of the parking requirements for the proposed use.
7.
Conversion Table
A conversion table from metric to imperial is provided in the back of this document to
assist you in interpreting the Zoning By-law provisions. This conversion table is for
reference purposes only and does not form part of the actual By-law
Description of By-law Components
This By-law contains eight sections, which together, provide the standards applicable to all lands within
the municipality. These sections are as follows:
Section 1 - Interpretation and Administration
Section 2 - Establishment of Zones
Section 3 - Zone Provisions
Section 4 - General Provisions
Section 5 - Parking and Loading
Section 6 - Definitions
Section 7 - Special Provisions
Section 8 - Enactment
The purpose of each of these sections is described below.
Section 1.0 - Interpretation and Administration
This section of the By-law specifies:
-
what lands are covered by the By-law;
-
that every parcel of land in the area covered by the By-law is to conform and comply with the By-
law; and,
-
what penalties can be levied against a person or a corporation if they contravene any provision in
the By-law.
Section 2.0 - Establishment Of Zones
This section establishes the Zones that apply to the lands covered by the By-law. This section also
describes how to determine the location of the Zone boundaries on the schedules.
PREAMBLE
____
Page iv
Section 3.0 - Zone Provisions
This section lists the uses that are permitted in each Zone. The effect of these Zones is to only permit
certain uses in various parts of the municipality. The only uses permitted in a zone are those that are
specified in the By-law. If a use is not specifically mentioned as a permitted use in a Zone then it is not
permitted. Similarly, if a use is defined in Section 6.0 of the By-law but does not appear as a permitted
use in any zone, then it is not a use permitted by the By-law.
This section also contains a number of regulations that control the placement, bulk and height of a
building on a lot. This includes regulations such as minimum lot size, minimum frontage, maximum
building height or the maximum coverage of a building on a lot.
The primary zone structure of this By-law includes a list of permitted uses and zone standards for each
zone category. In some cases, an additional set of regulations are identified through the use of an
Overlay Zone. An Overlay Zone is a second layer of zone regulations that are applied on top of the zone
category requirements. An example of an Overlay Zone would be a Flood Plain Zone, therefore if a
property was on the Muskoka River and was zoned Shoreline Residential Type 1 (SR1) it would also
have a Floodway Phase I (F1) Zone over part of the property. In this situation both the provisions of the
SR1 Zone and F1 Zone would have to be met. An Overlay Zone is a second level of standards that allow
the Town of Bracebridge to address unique or special circumstances through the zoning process.
Section 4.0 - General Provisions
This section contains a number of regulations that apply to certain types of uses, buildings or structures
regardless of where in the municipality or in what zone they are located. For example, this section
contains provisions dealing with the construction of docks in any zone, or provisions to regulate the
operation of home industries.
Section 5.0 - Parking and Loading
Parking and loading facilities are required for almost all uses within the municipality. This section
provides the requirements for these facilities including such regulations as the number of spaces required
for residential and commercial uses, minimum driveway width, minimum parking space size and the
location of parking facilities on a lot.
Section 6.0 - Definitions
It is necessary to define words in a zoning By-law because it is a legal document. A By-law must be
drafted so that it can be enforced in a court of law. These definitions will help provide clarity in the By-law
and ensure that the By-law and its intent are applied consistently.
Section 7.0 - Special Provisions
This section contains regulations, which are specific to one property or a group of properties in the
municipality. For example, the minimum front yard in a Zone may be 7.5 metres. The required front yard
may be reduced to a lesser number if deemed appropriate and the mechanism to accomplish this
reduction is by amending the By-law and excepting the property from the general standard. Exceptions to
this By-law are provided in a consolidated list in Section 7. Exceptions are denoted on the Zone
Schedules by the Zone symbol designating certain lands followed by a dash and a number, for example
R1-1.
Section 8.0 - Enactment
This section contains the signatures of the Mayor and the Clerk who signed the By-law when it was
passed by Council in accordance with Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990.
