SECTION 1
AUTHORIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION
1.1
Introductory Statement
This document is the Corporation of the Township of Champlain
Comprehensive Zoning By-law No. 2000-75, as amended. The By-law
replaces all previous Zoning By-laws in the jurisdiction, as amended.
1.1.1
Purpose of a Zoning By-Law
A Comprehensive Zoning By-law is a precise document used by the Township
of Champlain (the Township) to regulate the use of land. It states which land
uses are currently permitted in the Township and provides other detailed
information.
The Township's Zoning By-law implements the objectives and policies of the
United Counties of Prescott and Russell Official Plan and the Township of
Champlain Urban Areas Official Plan. The Zoning By-law acts as a legal tool
under Ontario's Planning Act for managing the use of land and future
development in the Township. Zoning By-laws also protect property owners
from the development of conflicting land uses. Any use of land or the
construction or use of any building or structure not specifically authorized by
this By-law is prohibited.
1.2
Title
This By-law shall be known as the "Zoning By-law" or By-law No. 2000-75 of
the Corporation of the Township of Champlain.
1.3
Lands Subject to By-law
The provisions of this By-law shall apply to all lands within the boundaries of
the Corporation of the Township of Champlain.

1.4
Conformity with By-law
No land shall be used and no buildings or structures shall be erected, altered,
enlarged, or used within the Township of Champlain except in conformity with
the provisions of this By-law. This By-law shall not reduce or mitigate any
restrictions lawfully imposed by an authority having jurisdiction to make such
restrictions. No person shall change the purpose for which any land, building
or structure is used, or erect any new building or structure or addition to any
existing building or structure or sever any lands from an existing parcel if the
effect of such action is to cause the original, adjoining or remaining lands,
buildings or structures to be in contravention of this By-law.
1.5
Effective Date
This By-law shall come into full force and effect as of the date of passing
hereof by Council.
1.6
Validity
Should any section, clause or provision of this By-law be held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the validity of the remainder of the By-
law shall not be affected.
1.7
Violations and Penalties
Any person convicted of a breach of any of the provisions of this By-law shall
be liable to a fine recoverable under the Provincial Offences Act. Each day of
violation shall constitute a separate offence.
1.8
Remedies
Where any building, structure or use is in contravention of any provision of
this By-law, such contravention may be restrained by action at the instance
of any ratepayer or of the Corporation, pursuant to the provisions of the
Municipal Act or the Planning Act.

1.9
Administrator
This By-law shall be administered by a person designated by the Council of
the Township of Champlain as the "Zoning Administrator" or "By-law
Enforcement Officer".
1.10
Inspection of Premises
The Zoning Administrator or By-law Enforcement Officer or any employee of
the Corporation acting under his direction, may, at any reasonable hour,
request entry to inspect a property or premises for the purpose of carrying
out his duties under this By-law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Zoning
Administrator, By-law Enforcement Officer or other employee shall not enter
into a dwelling unit without the consent of the occupant except under the
authority of a search warrant.
1.11
Licences and Permits
No municipal permit, certificate, or licence shall be issued for a proposed use
of land or a proposed erection, alteration, enlargement or use of any building
or structure that is in contravention of any provision of this By-law. In
addition, where the approval of another agency or authority is required, such
approval shall be obtained and submitted to the Chief Building Official at the
time of application for a building permit.
1.12
Compliance with Other Legislation and Other By-laws
Nothing in this By-law shall serve to relieve any person from the obligation to
comply with the requirements of the Ontario Building Code Act, the Ontario
Fire Code Act or any other legislation; the Building By-law; and any other by-
law of the Corporation in force from time to time or from the obligation to
obtain any license, permit, authority or approval required by the Corporation
or any other public agency or government body. Where any Act or portion
thereof is referenced in this By-law, it is intended that such references should
be interpreted to include any subsequent legislation and related regulations
that may amend or replace the specific statute.

1.13
Building Permit Issued
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this By-law, the Chief Building Official
of the Corporation shall not issue a building permit for the development or
redevelopment of any lands or building or structure or any part thereof within
the Municipality unless in accordance with the provisions of a By-law of the
Corporation enacted pursuant to Section 41 of the Planning Act.
Nothing in this By-law shall prevent the erection or use of any building or
structure for a purpose prohibited by this By-law if the plans for such building
or structure were approved by the Chief Building Official prior to the date of
passing of this By-law, provided:
i)
when the building or structure is erected, it shall be used and shall
continue to be used for the purpose for which the building permit was
issued; and
ii)
the erection of such building or structure is commenced within 2 years
of the date of passing of this By-law and provided the erection of such
building or structure is completed within a reasonable time after the
erection hereof is commenced.
1.14
Certificate of Occupancy
No change may be made in the type of use of any land covered by this By-
law or change in the type of use of any building located on any such land
without a Certificate of Occupancy being issued by the Township's Chief
Building Official to the effect that the proposed use is not contrary to this By-
law. Notwithstanding the above, no Certificate of Occupancy shall be required
for an existing farm residence, single detached dwelling, duplex dwelling, or a

Mineral Aggregate - Reserve Area (ar)
The purpose of the 'ar' suffix is to identify those areas that are not currently
licensed mineral extraction operations, as a land use constraint, which are
categorized as follow: Mineral Aggregate Resource Area - Bedrock Resource,
Mineral Aggregate Resource Area - Bedrock and Sand - Gravel Resource and
Mineral Aggregate Resource Area - Sand - Gravel Resource on Schedule 'E' of
the Official Plan of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell.
The 'ar' suffix identifies those lands, which are not yet licensed, until an
application to change the zoning category to either Mineral Aggregate - Pit
(AP) or Mineral Aggregate - Quarry (AQ) in order to permit the mineral
extraction operation. The provisions of the 'ar' suffix allow for a limited range
of permitted uses of a nature that would not sterilize the potential to permit
a mineral extraction operation.
(a)
Permitted Uses:
- agricultural use Amended by By-law No. 2023-56
- open space use
- park excluding buildings
- wayside pit or quarry
- single detached dwelling (1)

(3) Despite the provisions of the Zone, the single detached
dwelling, detached garage, home based businesses, bed and
