INTRODUCTION
This section explains the legal basis for which this By-law is being established, what a zoning by-
law is, its purpose, and how to use this By-law. This information is provided for context and
understanding purposes only and does not form part of this By-law.
LEGAL BASIS
The Planning Act is provincial legislation that establishes the ground rules for land use planning
in Ontario. It describes how land use planning can take place and the specific role of municipalities
like the Town of Georgina.
Section 34 of the Planning Act grants municipalities the authority to zone lands within their
jurisdiction through a "planning tool" known as a zoning by-law.
Every zoning by-law passed under Section 34 of the Planning Act is required to conform with the
municipality's official plan. Additionally, within three years of a new official plan coming into effect,
the Town is required to amend all zoning by-laws that apply to the municipality to ensure that they
conform with the policies and land use designations of the official plan.
WHAT IS A ZONING BY-LAW?
A zoning by-law is a municipal by-law that controls the use of land, buildings and structures in a
municipality. It controls:
The types of land uses and activities that are permitted on a property;
Where buildings and structures may be located and how they may be used; and,
Minimum and maximum development standards such as lot sizes, building heights,
setbacks from property lines, and parking requirements.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Zoning By-law is to implement the objectives and policies of the Town of
Georgina Official Plan. The Official Plan is a long-range policy document that establishes the
municipality's vision and general policies for future land use, development, environmental
protection and other related matters.
The Zoning By-law puts the policies and requirements of the Official Plan into effect and provides
for its day-to-day administration. The By-law contains specific requirements that are legally
enforceable and required to be complied with in order to establish a use and/or receive a building
permit for new construction.
HOW TO USE THIS BY-LAW
In order to determine what can be done with a particular property, the following steps should be
undertaken:
(1) Review Schedule 'A', Area Covered by this By-law, to determine if the property is subject
to this By-law or Zoning By-law 500. If the lands are identified as being subject to Minister's
Zoning Order (O. Reg. 251/22), refer to Section 3.5 and Appendix '2', Minister's Zoning
Order (O. Reg. 251/22).

Zoning By-law 600 (November 2023)
iii
(2) Review Schedule 'B', Zoning Schedules, to determine the zoning of the property. First,
refer to the Index Map on Schedule 'B1' to find which specific Zoning Schedule the
property is located on. Next, refer to the specific Zoning Schedule to determine the zoning
of the property. The zone boundaries are shown as a black line and the zone categories
are identified by a black zone symbol. If the zone symbol is followed by a hyphen and
number (e.g. 'RU-C-1', 'AP-8', 'EP-14'), then the land is subject to site-specific special
provisions.
(3) Once the zoning of the property has been determined, refer to Sections 7 through 22 for
the specific requirements applicable to each zone. Each zone contains listed permitted
residential and non-residential uses, the requirements for residential and non-residential
uses, and applicable special provisions. In some circumstances, Schedule 'C', Detailed
Illustrations, are used in association with a special provision to provide additional mapping
detail to assist the reader to better understand the By-law requirements.
(4) Refer to Section 5, General Provisions, for other requirements that may be applicable to
the use and/or development of the property. This includes requirements for aspects of land
use and development such as accessory uses, buildings or structures, fencing, home
industries, home occupations, on-farm diversified uses, parking and loading, swimming
pools and much more.
(5) Review Schedule 'D', Source Water Protection Areas, to determine if the property contains
Highly Vulnerable Aquifers. If Highly Vulnerable Aquifers are identified on the property,
refer to Section 3.3.
(6) Review Appendix '1', Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority Regulation Limit, to
determine if the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority regulates the property or
portions thereof. For more detailed mapping of the Regulation Limit, visit the Conservation
Authority's
website to access their Interactive Regulation Mapviewer
(www.lsrca.on.ca/maps). If the property is regulated, refer to Section 3.4. It is also
recommended that you contact the Conservation Authority to inquire about specific permit
requirements and development constraints.
(7) A Zoning By-law is a dynamic document that is amended over time as demands and
policies governing land use change. While the Town strives to keep this By-law up-to-date
through consolidation, more recently approved Zoning By-law Amendments for a
particular property may not be included in the version of the By-law you are using. In this
regard, the Planning Division ([email protected] ) should be contacted to confirm if
the property has been subject to a recent Zoning By-law Amendment approval.
(8) A Minor Variance approved by the Committee of Adjustment provides relief from one or
more provisions of the Zoning By-law to legalize existing development or to allow a
proposed development to proceed. Minor Variances are not reflected in the Zoning By-
law, but they are recorded by the Town and kept in the property file. To determine if your
property benefits from an approved Minor Variance, please contact the Town's Building
Division ([email protected] ).
Should you have any specific questions respecting the provisions of this By-law after following
the above-noted steps, contact the Town's Building Division ([email protected] ) for further
information and clarification. Please note that Town records may need to be thoroughly reviewed
before an accurate answer can be provided. In order for staff to be able to properly identify the
property in question, please provide the following property information with your inquiry:
