How To Use This By-Law
Introduction
These pages explain the purpose of this Zoning By-law and how it should be used. These
pages do not form part of the Zoning By-law passed by Council and are intended only to
make the Zoning By-law more understandable and easier to reference.
Purpose of this Zoning By-Law
The purpose of this Zoning By-law is to implement the policies of the Township of Georgian
Bluffs Official Plan and the County of Grey Official Plan. The Official Plans contain general
policies that affect the use of land throughout the Township. These policies specify where
certain land uses are permitted and, in some instances, specify what regulations should apply
to the development of certain lands.
The statutory authority to zone land is granted by the Ontario Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.P.
13. The Planning Act specifies what a Zoning By-law can regulate. A Zoning By-law can:
-
prohibit the use of land or buildings for any use that is not specifically permitted by the
By-law;
-
prohibit the erection or siting of buildings and structures on a lot except in locations
permitted by the By-law;
-
regulate the type of construction and the height, bulk, location, size, floor area,
spacing, and use of buildings or structures;
-
regulate the minimum frontage and lot area of a parcel of land;
-
regulate the proportion of a lot that any building or structure may occupy;
-
regulate the minimum elevation of doors, windows or other openings in buildings or
structures;
-
require parking and loading facilities be provided and maintained for a purpose
permitted by the By-law; and,
-
prohibit the use of lands and the erection of buildings or structures on land that is:
o
subject to flooding;
o
the site of steep slopes;
o
rocky, low-lying, marshy or unstable;
o
contaminated;
o
a sensitive groundwater recharge area or head water area;
o
the location of a sensitive aquifer;
o
a significant wildlife habitat area, wetland, woodland, ravine, valley or area of
natural and scientific interest;
o
a significant corridor or shoreline of a lake, river or stream; or,
the site of a significant archaeological resource.
How to Use this By-Law
In order to reference this By-law easily, a property owner should follow each of the steps
listed below to determine what permissions apply to their particular property.
Township of Georgian Bluffs Zoning By-law 2020-020

1.
Locate the Property on a Map
Maps in a Zoning By-law are called Schedules. The first step to using this By-law is to
refer to the Zone Schedules that are contained at the back of the By-law as 'Schedule
A' to determine in which zone category your property is located. The zone category will
be indicated on the schedules by a symbol or abbreviation. For example, you may see
a symbol such as R1 beside your property. This would indicate that your property is
within the Residential One Zone. The zone symbols or abbreviations are explained in
Section 3 of the By-law.
Section 3 also provides assistance to help you identify the zone boundaries on the
Schedules. For example, if your property appears close to a zone boundary and you
are not sure how to determine exactly where that boundary is located, refer to Section
3.6 of the By-law.
It should be noted that the Niagara Escarpment Plan, 2017 is in place for areas of the
Township. Where Niagara Escarpment Development Control is in effect, whose lands
are shown as beige on Schedule A, a Development Permit is required from the Niagara
Escarpment Commission for any proposed development. The Zoning By-law does not
apply to lands within Niagara Escarpment Development Control. Any inquiries
regarding development requirements on lands that are subject to Niagara Escarpment
Development Control should be forwarded to the Niagara Escarpment Commission at:

2.
By-Law Amendments
A Zoning By-law is not a static document; it is amended over time as demands and
policies governing land use change. Before proceeding any further, you should verify
that your property is not the subject of an earlier Zoning By-law amendment. While
the Township strives to keep this By-law up-to-date, more recent amendments may
not be included in the version of the By-law you are using. Township Planning
Department Staff will be able to assist you in confirming if your property has been
subject to a more recent By-law amendment.
3.
Zone Provisions
The next step to using this By-law is to determine what uses are permitted on your
property. Subsection 3 in Sections 8 to 18 of the By-law identify the permitted uses and
zone requirements for each zone in the Township.
The definitions in Section 4 can assist you if you are not sure of the nature of a
permitted use or how it has been defined for the purpose of this By-law. Uses not listed
as permitted or otherwise provided for in this By-law shall be prohibited.
Township of Georgian Bluffs Zoning By-law 2020-020
ix
The uses permitted in each zone are noted by the symbol '' in the column applicable
to that zone and corresponding with the row for a specific permitted use in the
applicable Permitted Uses table of each section. A number(s) following the symbol '',
zone heading or identified permitted use, indicates that one or more conditions apply to
the use noted or, in some cases, to the entire zone. Special conditions are listed in the
footnotes below the Permitted Use tables.
You have now identified the zone in which your property is located and have identified
what uses are permitted on your property. The next step is to determine what
standards may apply to the uses on your property. Subsection 4 in Sections 7 through
18 of the By-law identifies the zone requirements for each of the zone categories in the
Township including standards for minimum lot area, minimum frontage requirements,
minimum yard requirements, maximum lot coverage for principal and accessory
buildings, maximum permitted building heights and in some cases, the minimum
required landscaped open space on the lot. The exception is Section 7, which has a
unique structure that implements the specific Cobble Beach zone provisions. The
Diagrams in Schedule C can be used to assist in interpreting the language of the Zoning
By-law.
Section 19 of the Zoning By-law contains provisions for Holding Zones and the
conditions required to "lift" the holding symbol. Holding Zones can apply in various
situations and are generally illustrated on the Schedules to this By-law. Holding Zones
that are not mapped, but apply to lots with no access to a year-round municipally
maintained road, are still applicable as per Section 19 of this By-law.
4.
Zone Exceptions
The exception provisions apply to those lands that are zoned with an exception on the
accompanying zone maps to this By-law. Exception provisions are set out in the tables
located within each zone schedule.
-
Column 1 sets out the Exception Number of each Zone Exception which
corresponds to an area of the Township identified on the Zoning Schedules by
the same number and zone, preceded by a dash and the number, denoting an
exception. (i.e. R1-1)
-
Column 2 sets out the Additional Permitted Uses in the Zone Exception, if
applicable.
-
Column 3 sets out the Only Uses Permitted in the Zone Exception, if applicable.
-
Column 4 sets out the Uses Prohibited in the Zone Exception, if applicable.
-
Column 5 sets out the Special Zone Requirements for the Zone Exception, if
applicable.
All other provisions of the zone, unless specifically modified or amended by this
section, continue to apply to the lands subject to this section.

5.
General Provisions
Now that you are aware of the uses permitted on your property and the specific zone
requirements that apply to those uses, reference should be made to Section 5 of this
By-law. Section 5 contains a more general set of standards known as 'General
Provisions' that apply to all properties in all zones throughout the Township. For
example, the general provisions contain standards that regulate the location of
accessory structures on a lot and height exceptions, as well as providing guidelines for
the potential expansion of legal non-conforming/non-complying uses. The General
Provisions apply to all properties regardless of what zone the property is located in,
unless otherwise specified.
6.
Parking and Loading
Section 6 provides the parking and loading standards, in accordance with the
Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005, for all uses permitted in the
Township. If you are considering changing the use of your property or adding a new
use to your property, you should review Section 6 and the Accessibility for Ontarians
with Disabilities Act, 2005 to ensure that you are aware of the parking standards for
the proposed use.
7.
Exceptions, Holding Zones and Temporary Uses
As noted in item #2 above, By-laws are not static documents and lands may be subject
to a Zone Exception, a Holding Zone, or a Temporary Use. If a zone symbol is followed
by a dash (-) and a number, the lands are subject to a Site Specific Exception and are
subject to Site Specific Exception provisions in addition to all provisions of the
applicable zone and general provisions, unless otherwise stated in the exception.
These can be found in Subsection 4 or 5 of the relevant Sections. If the zone symbol is
followed by an (H), the lands are subject to a holding symbol, which can be found in
Section 19.

The purpose of each of these Sections is described below.
Sections 1 and 2 - Interpretation and Administration
These Sections of the By-law specify:
-
what lands are covered by the By-law;
-
that every parcel of land in the area covered by the By-law is to conform and comply
with the By-law; and,
-
what penalties can be levied against a person or a corporation if they contravene any
provision in the By-law.
Section 3 - Establishment of Zones
This Section establishes the zones that apply to the lands covered by the By-law. This
Section also describes how to determine the location of the zone boundaries on the
Schedules.
Township of Georgian Bluffs Zoning By-law 2020-020
xii
Section 4 - Definitions
This Section defines many of the words and terms used in the By-law. It is necessary to
define words in a By-law because it is a legal document. These definitions will help provide
clarity in the By-law and ensure that the By-law and its intent are applied consistently.
Section 5 - General Provisions
This Section contains a number of regulations that apply to certain types of uses, buildings or
structures regardless of where in the Township or in what zone they are located. For
example, this section contains provisions dealing with the construction of accessory
structures in any zone, or provisions to regulate the operation of home industries.
Section 6 - Parking and Loading
Parking and loading facilities are required for almost all uses within the Township. This
Section provides the requirements, in accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with
Disabilities Act, 2005, for these facilities including such regulations as the number of spaces
required for residential and commercial uses, minimum driveway width, minimum parking
space size and the location of parking facilities on a lot.
Sections 7 to 18 - Zone Provisions
Sections 7 to 18 identify the uses that are permitted in each zone category. The effect of
these zones is to only permit certain uses in various parts of the Township. The only uses
permitted in a zone are those that are specified in the By-law. If a use is not specifically
mentioned as a Permitted Use in a zone then it is not permitted. Similarly, if a use is defined
in Section 4 of the By-law but does not appear as a Permitted Use in any zone, then it is not
a use permitted by the By-law.
Section 7, Cobble Beach Community is unique in that it is not a stand alone zone, however,
Section 7 consolidates the various specific Zoning Provisions that have been approved for the
Cobble Beach Resort Community. This section needs to be read in conjunction with the
General Provisions as well as the underlying Zone Provisions.
Sections 7 to 18 also contain a number of regulations that control the placement, bulk and
height of a building on a lot. These Sections also include regulations such as minimum lot
size, minimum frontage, maximum building height, and the maximum coverage of buildings
and structures on a lot.
Section 19 - Holding Zones
This Section provides a consolidated list of properties that are subject to Holding Provisions
and Temporary Use Zones.
