INTERPRETATION AND ADMINISTRATION
1-2
1.5.7 EXCEPTION ZONES AND TEMPORARY USE BY-LAWS
Where a zone classification is followed by a dash and a number (e.g. RU-1), this denotes an Exception
Zone. Lands so zoned shall be subject to all of the provisions of the zone represented by the
classification except as otherwise provided by the Exception provisions, which are listed as separate
subsections within the parent zone.
In some cases, temporary use by-laws have been passed by the municipality to allow temporary uses
pursuant to Section 39 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, C.P. 13. Temporary uses are shown on the
zoning schedules as exceptions and details concerning the temporary use are included in the
exception text within the specific zone category.
1.6 HOLDING ZONES
1. Holding zones are created by adding a capital H in brackets - (H) - to the zone code on the Zoning
Schedules. This has the effect of allowing the uses set out in the corresponding text of the by-law at
some time in the future. A Holding symbol is removed once specified conditions, which are identified
in the exception provisions, are met (e.g. such as conditions related to environmental, transportation,
servicing matters), in accordance with Section 36 of the Planning Act, as amended.
2. No land shall be used in a Holding Zone (H), except for the following purposes:

of the said symbols, such zones shall mean any area within the Township of Chapple delineated on the

subdivision, such lot lines shall be deemed to be the said boundary;
c.

distance from such road is not indicated, such zone boundaries shall be construed as being
parallel to such road and the distance therefrom shall be determined by the use of the scale
shown on the Zoning Schedules;

included on the Zoning Schedules, is included within the zone of the adjoining property on
either side thereof; and where such road, lane, right-of-way or watercourse serves as a
boundary between two or more different zones, a line midway in such road, lane, right-of-way
or watercourse and extending in the general direction of the long division thereof is
considered the boundary between zones, unless specifically indicated otherwise;
e. In the event a dedicated road, lane or right-of-way shown on the zone maps is closed, the
property formerly in said road lane or right-of-way shall be included within the zone of the
adjoining property or either side of the said closed road lane right-of-way and the zone
boundary shall be the former centre line of the closed road, lane or right-of-way;
f.
Where any zone boundary is left uncertain after application of the preceding provisions, then
the boundary line shall be determined according to the scale on the Zoning Schedules in the
office of the Chief Building Official; and
g. Wherever it occurs, the limit of the Township of Chapple is the boundary of the zone adjacent
