The By-law consists of a text divided into four parts and Plates "A1," "A2," "A3," "A4," "A5," "A6," "B," "C" and "D." 2. Determine the specific location of interest on the appropriate Plate, "Zone Map," and determine the Zone Symbol. These appear as capital letters with or without numbers. 3. Consult Plate "B," "Permitted Uses and Activities in Zones," and determine the specific type of use allowed in that particular Zone. Alternatively, locate the use of interest and determine the Zone(s) in which it is permitted. Where lands are zoned within a Special Zone Classification as delineated on Plate "A1," for example (M1-1) then special provisions apply to the use of such lands in addition to the normal zone provisions. As may be noted on Plates "A1," "A2" or "A3," "A4," "A5" and "A6," the Zone Maps, reference should be made to Section 9, "Provisions For Special Zone Categories" so as to determine the specific type of use permitted or other special provisions affecting the use of land within such a zone classification. 4. If the particular type of land use or Zone is of a residential nature, consult Plate "C," "Provisions For Residential Uses," for specific regulations. 5. If the particular type of land use or Zone is something other than residential, consult Plate "D," "Provisions For Non-Residential Uses and Activities," for specific regulations. 6. In addition to land uses and regulations referred to above, certain general conditions and provisions apply to all lots, buildings and structures, and these, together with definitions, are found in Part III, General Provisions and Definitions. 7. For ease and convenience of the reader, the following are applicable conversion tables from the Metric to Imperial System. In no instance should the Imperial equivalent be used to determine any requirement of this By-law, rather, all measurements are to be in the Metric System and in accordance with the provisions of this By-law regulating the erection or use of any building, structure or activity in the respective zone. xi RESTRICTED AREA BY-LAW NUMBER 287-78-PL OF THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF BROCK INDEX PAGE PART I: SPECIFIC CONDITIONS 1: INTERPRETATION 1 2: COMPLIANCE WITH THE BY-LAW 3 3: ADMINISTRATION, ENFORCEMENT AND PENALTIES 4 PART II: ZONES AND ZONE PROVISIONS 4: ZONES 6 5: PLATES "A1," "A2," "A3," "A4," "A5" AND "A6," ZONE MAPS (Following Page) 11 6: PLATE "B," PERMITTED USES AND ACTIVITIES IN ZONES (Following Page) 11 7: PLATE "C," PROVISIONS FOR RESIDENTIAL USES (Following Page) 14 8: PLATE "D," PROVISIONS FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL USES AND ACTIVITIES (Following Page) 19 9: PROVISIONS FOR SPECIAL ZONE CATEGORIES 24 PART III: GENERAL PROVISIONS AND DEFINITIONS 10: GENERAL PROVISIONS 104 11: DEFINITIONS 128 PART IV: ENACTMENT 12: OTHER BY-LAWS REPEALED 156 13: APPROVAL 157 xii EXPLANATORY NOTE - METRIC CONVERSION The following is an index of the metric measurement appearing in this By-law and the approximate equivalent measure in the conventional British or Imperial system of measure. The explanatory note is for reference purposes only and to assist persons in the interpretation of the By-law. In no instance should the Imperial System equivalent be used to determine any requirement of this By-law, rather, all measurements are to be in the metric system and in accordance with the provisions of this By-law regulating the erection or use of any building, structure or activity in the respective zone.
