OFFICE CONSOLIDATION
AUGUST 2025
Comprehensive Zoning By-Law - The County of Brant (Office Consolidation - August 2025)
1-2
Notes about this Consolidation:
1. Amendments made through Bylaw Number 47-25 (Four Units As-of-Right) have
been added to this consolidation.
2. Amending bylaws passed up to August 29, 2025 have been consolidated into the
document.
3. The explanation for the required minimum interior side yard and rear yard setback
in Urban Residential Zones has been updated in Section 4, Table 4.4.1 (Accessory
Use Regulations Table) to clarify the required setback based on the structure or
building height.
4. Reference to the "second storey" has been removed from Section 4.5 a) ix) to
better clarify that rooftop amenity spaces are prohibited based on the height of the
structure or building, rather than the number of storeys. The intent of the original
amending by-law was to ensure that any Additional Residential Unit above 4.5m
in height would require an additional setback consideration.
5. Section 4.5 b) vi), which previously prohibited a second additional residential unit
in prime agricultural areas, has been removed to reflect legislative changes
introduced through Bill 23, More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022.
6. References to the Official Plan (2012) have been removed and replaced with the
new Official Plan, A Simply Grand Plan (2023). These changes can be found in
Sections 4.5 c) ii), 4.5 c) iii), 6.3 a), and 6.4 l) of the By-Law.

4.43 Heritage Area Overlay
Notwithstanding the provisions of the underlying zone, the following provisions apply to
land uses within any area affected by the Heritage Area overlay, indicated by the zone
code HA on Schedule 'A' of this By-Law. This overlay encourages the evaluation and
retention of existing buildings with potential heritage value by offering zoning incentives
to reuse the buildings, as well as to regulate the height, bulk, location, spacing, and
character of buildings or structures that have the potential to impact the heritage
character of the area.
a.)
Where a building in an area to which the heritage area overlay applies is
proposed to be removed, or where such a building is removed or destroyed, the
provisions and standards for (re)development of the site may be imposed through
site-specific provisions to the underlying zone category that will determine the
appropriate character, scale, massing, volume, floor area and location as being
compatible with the heritage character and value of the area. To determine these
Comprehensive Zoning By-Law - The County of Brant (Office Consolidation - August 2025)
4-34
provisions, comments by the municipal heritage committee, or delegate, will be
provided after an evaluation of the key heritage attributes of the area, and
provided as part of the pre-application process.
b.)
Additions to structures and the construction of accessory structures in an area to
which the heritage area overlay applies are permitted without a heritage
evaluation by staff where they are located in the rear yard or where it has been
shown that it will not adversely affect the existing heritage character of the
property.
c.)
Additions to structures and the construction of accessory structures in an area to
which the heritage areas overlay applies are permitted where the character,
scale, massing, volume, and floor area has been evaluated by staff as part of the
underlying zone requirements.
d.)
The provisions of this section shall also apply to any property that has been
designated under Parts IV or V of the Ontario Heritage Act, which shall have the
overlay applied to the properties and illustrated on Schedule 'A' of this By-Law as
result of the designation under the Act without the need for an amendment to this
By-law.
e.)
Where development is proposed in an area to which the heritage area overlay
applies and where an adaptive reuse is proposed to maintain an existing
structure that has been evaluated by the municipal heritage committee to have
heritage value, the parking space requirements of Section 5.12.1, as related to
the proposed adaptive reuse of the heritage building, may be discounted by 25%
without the need for an amendment to this By-Law. This discount may be applied
to the cumulative parking requirements of a site only where it has been shown
that there will be no adverse impacts as a result of the reduced parking.
4.44 Yard Encroachments
Any structural encroachments into the required yards on a lot shall be subject to the

14.2 Zone Requirements and Provisions for Natural Heritage Zones
a) The Natural Heritage Zone (NH) includes key natural heritage features, key
hydrologic features, and other supporting natural areas intended for
conservation. It also includes natural hazards such as wetlands, erosion
hazards, flooding hazards and hazardous lands or sites whereby buildings,
structures and uses are to be directed away from these areas to protect life
and property.
b) The Natural Heritage Vegetation Protection Zone (NH1) includes a vegetation
buffer zone adjacent to and/or connecting key natural heritage features, key
hydrologic features and other supporting natural areas which is intended to be
maintained as self-sustaining vegetation to enhance and protect features,
functions, and connectivity. Where lands are used as part of a farming
operation, the vegetation protection zone is not intended to interfere with
normal farm practices and in such cases the vegetation protection zone is not
intended to be maintained as natural self-sustaining vegetation if the land will
be used for passive agricultural uses (e.g. crops, pasture, livestock grazing
etc.) and provided there are no new buildings or structures, unless otherwise
approved by the County of Brant.
c) No person shall, within any Natural Heritage (NH) zone, use any lot or erect,
alter or use any building or structure for any purpose except in accordance
with the following provisions:
i.
Within the NH and NH1 Zones, the use of any lot, or the erection,
alteration, or use of any building or structure shall not be permitted
unless listed as a permitted use in Table 14.1.1 or permitted as per
Comprehensive Zoning By-Law - The County of Brant (Office Consolidation - August 2025)
14-3
Section 14.2.c) iv, and written authorization is granted by the County of
Brant.
ii.
Where lands are regulated by a Conservation Authority, the use of any
lot, or the erection, alteration, or use of any building or structure shall
not be permitted unless written authorization and/or a permit is granted
from the Conservation Authority under The Regulation of
Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines
and Watercourses, as may be amended..
iii.
Within the NH and NH1 Zones the impact on key natural heritage
features, key hydrologic features and other supporting features must
be minimized and mitigated to the greatest extent possible to the
satisfaction of the County of Brant. Prior to allowing the use of any lot,
or the erection, alteration, or use of any building or structure that is
permitted in these zones, an Environmental Impact Study or similar
study may be required to be completed in accordance with an
approved Terms of Reference to the satisfaction of the County of Brant
that demonstrates amongst other matters that there will be a net gain
in key natural heritage features and key hydrologic features and
ecological and hydrological functions. In addition, the County may
require that the lands be subject to Site Plan Control.
iv.
Within the NH and NH1 Zones, legally existing uses, buildings, and
structures shall be deemed to be non-conforming. An addition,
replacement, relocation, or alteration may be permitted to a
nonconforming building, structure or use, and a non-habitable
accessory building or structure may be permitted, subject to the
provisions in this By-Law, approval of the County of Brant and the
Conservation Authority having jurisdiction, and the following provisions:
1. The building, structure or use shall meet all requirements
of the abutting zone on the same lot or, in the case of a
non-conforming building, structure or use located on a
property that is wholly zoned NH or NH1 , the regulations
of the predominant zone category in proximity to the lot,
as determined by the County of Brant.
2. No addition, replacement, relocation, alteration, use, non-
habitable accessory building or structure including
associated site alteration shall be within a key natural
heritage feature or key hydrologic feature or associated
NH1 Zone, unless it is demonstrated that there is no
alternative location, and expansion into the feature is
minimized and mitigated to the greatest extent possible
to the satisfaction of the County of Brant.
3. The cumulative footprint of all additions, replacements,
relocations, alterations, uses and non-habitable
accessory buildings and structures including associated
Comprehensive Zoning By-Law - The County of Brant (Office Consolidation - August 2025)
14-4
site alteration in key natural heritage and key hydrologic
features and the associated NH and NH1 Zones does not
exceed 450 m².
v.
Without expanding the permitted uses, or limiting the restricted uses,
the following uses shall specifically not be permitted:
1. No new private sewage disposal system and associated
site alteration shall be located in or within 30 metres of a
key hydrologic feature.
2. With the exception of small-scale structures for passive
recreational uses and structures for flood or erosion
control projects, no new or addition to an existing building
or structure including associated site alteration shall be
permitted: in or within 30 metres of a wetland; or in or
within 10 metres of a life science area of natural and
scientific interest.
3. With the exception of small-scale structures for passive
recreational uses, boat houses/docks/ramps along a
permanent watercourse, and flood or erosion control
projects no new or addition to an existing building or
structure including associated site alteration shall be
permitted: in or within 15 metres of an intermittent
watercourse or a warm water watercourse; or in or within
30 metres of a cool or cold water watercourse or a
watercourse identified by the Department of Fisheries
and Oceans as the critical habitat of or aquatic species at
risk.
4. With the exception of small-scale structures for passive
recreational uses and except as permitted by Section
14.2.c.v., no new or addition to an existing building or
