Town of Erin Comprehensive Zoning By-law 07-67 (August 2023 Consolidated)
PREFACE
By-law 07-67, as amended, is the Comprehensive Zoning By-law of the Town of Erin. The
By-law divides the Town into zones and in each zone permits specific uses of land,
buildings and structures to the exclusion of all other uses. The Zoning By-law also
regulates the manner in which permitted uses may be developed, providing for such
things as minimum lot frontages and areas, minimum yards, height of buildings, etc.
Prior to the enactment of the Comprehensive Zoning By-law, several zoning by-laws
covering specific portions of the then Town were in force, each of which had been
amended many times. Most of these amendments provided for exemptions from the
general zoning standards, which would only apply to a specific parcel of land. These site
specific amendments are recognized as legal conforming uses by this By-law. The
specific amendments are noted within Section 14 of this Zoning By-law.
The Comprehensive Zoning By-law refers to zoning maps which indicate the boundaries
of the zoning categories and the location of site specific zoning amendments.
Any inquiries regarding the zoning of a particular parcel of land should be directed to the
Planning & Development Department, at 519-855-4407 Ext. 242 or by email at
[email protected].
This is an office consolidation prepared for the purposes of convenience only. For
accuracy, reference should be made to the original approved comprehensive by-law and
amending by-laws which are available from the Clerk's office or Planning Services.
