EXPLANATORY NOTE
This new zoning by-law repeals and replaces the zoning by-law of the Corporation of the Township of
Madawaska Valley By-Law 2006-26.
The Council of a municipality may, under Section 34 of the Planning Act, pass a Zoning By-law to govern
the use of land. The effect of By-law 2026-50 is to regulate the use of land and the erection, location and
use of buildings and structures within the entire Township of Madawaska Valley. After the By-law is in
force, no land shall be used and no building or structure shall be erected, altered or used in any manner
except in conformity with the provisions of the By-law. All previous Zoning By-laws are repealed by the
new By-law.
The By-law will not apply to prevent or hinder the continued use of any land, building or structure, if
such land, building or structure was lawfully used for such purpose on the day of the passing of the By-
law, so long as it continues to be used for that purpose.
As the By-law affects all lands within the Township of Madawaska Valley, a Key Map has not been
provided.

suffix is "-1". Additional Exception Zones within the same zone classification are numbered
consecutively (i.e. Highway Commercial - Exception One (HC-1), Highway Commercial -
