5.2 Exception Zones
Where a Zone classification is followed by the numbered suffix "-Exception
One", this denotes the further classification as an Exception Zone. The
corresponding Zone symbol suffix is "-E1". Additional Exception Zones within
the same zone classification are numbered consecutively [i.e. Highway
Commercial - Exception One (HC-E1)], etc.
Exception Zone provisions are listed separately under the applicable Zone
classification requirements sections in the text of this By-law. All provisions of
this By-law will apply equally to the respective Exception Zone classification,
except as otherwise specified by the Exception Zone provisions.
For the purpose of this By-law, Exception Zones are established as shown on
the Schedule(s) (Zoning Maps).
5.3 Holding Provisions
Any parcel of land zoned for residential, commercial or industrial development
where the principle of development has been established (ie. R1, HC, R2) may
be further classified as a holding zone with the addition of the suffix "-h".
Certain criteria for development (i.e. phasing, financial considerations,
geotechnical studies, access etc.) must be met to the satisfaction of Council
prior to the removal of the holding provision.
Under this holding Zone, interim and passive uses such as open space and
conservation will be permitted. Uses existing at the time of passing of the By-
law will also be permitted. When the holding provision is removed these uses
would no longer apply. The individual residential, commercial or industrial
Zone provisions (i.e. R1, R2, HC, etc.) as the case may be would then apply.
The removal of the holding provisions shall require an amendment to this By-
law. No public participation with mechanism for appeal shall be required where
the principle of development has been established.
