Explanatory Note
Zoning By- Law No. 40 - 2010
of the
Corporation of the Municipality of Central Huron
Preamble
The Zoning By-law was passed on September 28th, 2010 under Section 34 of The Planning
Act. It implements the Official Plan for the Municipality of Central Huron which was adopted by
the Council of the Municipality of Central Huron on November 23rd, 2003.
The Zoning By-law comprises both text and zoning maps on which is 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 Central Huron
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 can be described as consisting of all properties lying
wholly or partly within the corporate limits of the Municipality of Central Huron.
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thereof, shall be deemed to have been repealed.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
Central Huron Official Plan.
Effect
This Zoning By-law is designed to regulate by prohibition all new development except that
specifically allowed in the By-law. This By-law will, however, give Municipal Council 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, 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.
The Zoning By-Law
of The Corporation
of The Municipality of Central Huron
By-Law No. 40 - 2010
Being a By-law, under the provisions of section 34 of the planning act, R.S.O, 1990, as
amended to regulate the use of lands and the character, location and use of buildings and
structures and to prohibit certain buildings and structures in various defined areas of the
Corporation of the Municipality of Central Huron.
Whereas the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Central Huron considers it
advisable to regulate the use of land situated within the defined areas, as hereinafter
designated, for the purpose of preventing any further development which would create an
adverse effect on the Corporation, and to prevent the use of lands that would jeopardize future
orderly development and expansion, and to protect the natural environment.
Now therefore the council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Central Huron enacts as
follows

Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of the various zones as shown on the Schedule "A" (Key
Maps) the following rules shall apply:
Right-of-way Limits - Unless otherwise indicated, the boundaries of a zone as shown on the Schedule
"A" (Key Maps) are the street right-of-way lines or lane right-of-way lines. Any street rights-of-way wholly
within the boundary of a zone as shown on the Schedule "A" (Key Maps) are deemed not to be zoned but
are to be used for public highway purposes.
Centreline Limits - Where any zone boundary is shown as approximately the centre line of a street, lane,
watercourse or any other right-of-way, such zone boundary shall be construed to follow the centre line of
the street, lane, watercourse or other right-of-way.
Lot Lines - Where the zone boundaries are not shown to be streets, roads or lanes, and where indicated
boundaries on the Schedule "A" (Key Maps) are approximately lot lines, the said lot lines shall be
construed to be the zone boundaries unless the said boundaries are otherwise indicated on the maps.
Schedule Limits - The limit of any map forming part of this By-law as shown on the Schedule "A" (Key
Maps) shall be deemed to be the boundary of the zone adjoining such limit.
Symbol of Zones - Where one symbol is used on the Schedule "A" (Key Maps) to indicate the zone
classification of an area divided by a street, road or lane, the said symbol shall establish the classification
of the whole of such area.
Closed Street, Road, Lane, Railway or Highway Right-of-Way - In the event a street, lane, railway or
highway right-of-way, shown on the Schedule "A" (Key Maps) is closed, the property formerly in said
street, lane, railway or highway right-of-way shall be included within the zone of the adjoining property on
either side of the said closed street, lane, railway or highway right-of-way.
In the event the said street, lane, railway or highway right-of-way shown on Schedule "A" (Key Maps) was
a zone boundary between two or more different zones, the new zone boundary shall be the former
centreline of the said closed road, lane or right-of-way.
Where the land formerly included in such street, lane, railway or highway right-of-way is purchased in its
entirety by an abutting landowner, the said land shall be included in the same zone as that of the abutting
landowner purchasing said land; or
Where the land formerly included in such street, lane, and railway or highway right-of-way is purchased in
its entirety by a person or persons other than an abutting landowner, the said land shall be included in the
abutting zone which is the most restrictive in terms of use or density.
Boundaries Other Than Streets, Roads or Lot Lines - Where a zone boundary is not a street, road or
lane, nor a lot line, and a specific measurement indicating the position of the said boundary is not shown
on the Key Map, or indicated in the text of the By-law, the person or persons authorized by Council to
enforce this by-law shall determine such zone boundary by reference to the zone limits as shown on this
by-law and by a site inspection of the subject property in consultation with the local Conservation Authority
or Stewardship Co-ordination/ Biologist.
Zone Abuts Natural Watercourse - Where any zone on the Schedule "A" (Key Maps) abuts a natural
watercourse, such zone shall be deemed to apply to the natural watercourse and any islands within the
watercourse.

Additional Information Shown on Schedule "A" (Key Maps)

lands to natural environment areas, and land which may be subject to natural environment hazards, such

ordinator. In some cases an Environmental Impact Study or Conservation Authority permit is required prior
to development.
Potential Influence Area of Municipal Landfills
The potential influence area of closed and open municipal landfills as identified by the Central Huron
Official Plan is a 500 metre radius around the landfill site. This distance is calculated from the boundaries
of the site certified to receive waste including areas which have already received waste. This area is
shown on Appendix 11 to the map schedules. It is not a zone.
1.25
Lot Enlargement
This provision applies only where a severance is granted for the purpose of lot enlargement. The zoning shall
extend to incorporate the lands which are severed and merged. For example, where lands zoned AG1 are severed
and merged on title with abutting lands zoned AG3 or AG4, the zoning of the receiving AG3 or AG4 property shall
extend to incorporate the lands previously AG1.
1.26

orderly, economic and attractive development of the Municipality.

f)
Any possible deficiencies in Minimum Amenity Area (Section 23.5.12).
g)
Any possible deficiencies in privacy yards (Section 23.5.16).
h)
Eight parking spaces have been proposed for the apartment building. While Section 3.22.1
requires 12 parking spaces for the proposed building, the applicant intends to provide 9 surface
parking spaces.
i)
Planting strip as per requirements in Section 3.24.
j)
The subject property does not comply with parking requirements which stipulate that parking shall
be located in the rear yard only. This by-law recognizes parking in the exterior side yard.
