TOWNSHIP OF WILBERFORCE
NOTICE OF THE PASSING OF A COMPREHENSIVE ZONING BY-LAW
TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Wilberforce passed By-
law____#04-97___ on the____21st______day of ____April____________ 19_97_ under Section 34 of the
Planning Act.
AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or public body may appeal in writing to the Ontario Municipal Board
in respect of the By-law by filing with the Clerk of the Corporation of the Township of Wilberforce, not later
than the ___20th___day of _____May__________19_97______, a notice of appeal which must set out the
reasons for the appeal. The Notice of Appeal must be accompanied by the fee required by the Ontario
Municipal Board ($125.00, payable to the Minister of Finance). ONLY INDIVIDUALS, corporations and
public bodies may appeal a zoning by-law to the Ontario Municipal Board. A notice of appeal may not be
filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an
individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf.
An explanation of the purpose and effect of the by-law is included with this notice. A key map has not been
provided as the By-law applies to the entire Township.
Purpose and Effect:
The purpose of this comprehensive Zoning By-law is to regulate the use of lands,
the character, location and use of buildings and structures in the Township of Wilberforce.
The effects of this new Zoning By-law will be to permit certain uses set out in the text of the By-law, in
categories such as residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, community facility, environmental
protection, resource protection and accessory uses; to prohibit any use of land, or the construction or use of
any building, not authorized by the provisions of the By-law; and to replace the Township's current zoning
by-laws through a repeal clause in the new Zoning By-law.
The Official Plan, which was adopted on May 3, 1993, is the overall guide for development in the Township.
The new Zoning By-law will implement the Official Plan by establishing land use regulations and standards
to which sites and developments must adhere. The authority for the provisions of the Zoning By-law is
contained in Section 34 of the Planning Act.
Usually, the Zoning By-law will place each land use into a zone category that recognizes the existing use of
the property. Where the zoning is proposed to show the desired future use of land and not the existing use,
the Zoning By-law will not have a retroactive effect that would force existing property and structures to meet
the requirements. New development that would not meet the requirements of the By-law, however, will not
be permitted unless Council amends the Zoning By-law.
The following is a brief summary of the contents of the new Comprehensive Zoning By-law.
iii
Section 1:
Explains how all uses hereafter must conform; describes administrative procedures
including penalties and requirements for plans to accompany building permit
applications, explains the interpretation of the zoning map.
Section 2:
Defines the words and terms that are used throughout the By-law. The meanings
set out in the document must be considered in order to understand, interpret and
administer the Zoning By-law properly.
Section 3:
Establishes the general provisions that apply to more than one of the Zones in the
Zoning By-law. These provisions apply to such matters as accessory uses; service
stations and garages; dwellings per lot; permitted encroachments onto required
yards; home or farm industry and home occupations; requirements for lots to front
on streets; non-conforming situations including lots with less area and/or frontage
than required, additions to undersized lots, repair of existing buildings; open
storage; parking and loading spaces; separation distances between potentially
incompatible uses and setbacks from roads and water.
Section 4:
Lists the zones and classifications and their symbols, which are used on the
Schedules (Zoning Maps).
Sections 5 to 18:
Set out the details of the specific land use zones, which have the following
basic functions:
R1
-
to recognize and regulate land limited to use for single detached
dwellings, including some lands within hamlets.
LSR
-
to recognize and regulate dwellings on private roads and to protect
the Municipality's servicing position.
GC
-
to recognize and regulate commercial uses that could be related to
highway corridors or the needs of rural residents.
HD
-
to recognize and regulate a mix of commercial and institutional
uses that are appropriate for hamlets.
RC
-
to recognize and regulate commercial uses and development that are
based on outdoor recreation.
DM
-
to recognize and regulate disposal industrial uses: salvage yards and
waste disposal sites.
iv
EM
-
to recognize and regulate the extraction of mineral aggregates (sand,
gravel, etc.) and the associated manufacturing and processing uses.
RP
-
to preserve mineral aggregate resource deposits and lands
designated for forestry until such time as specific aggregate
extraction or development proposals are accepted.
GM
-
to recognize and regulate general industrial uses: body shops,
manufacturing plants, warehouses, etc.
A
-
to recognize and protect farms, and to limit development in areas
that are considered to have a high capability for agriculture.
RU
-
to recognize and regulate a mixture of land uses that are appropriate
in rural areas where the soils are considered to have a mixture of
capabilities for agriculture.
EP
-
to regulate development in areas that are subject to natural hazards
and/or that have environments sensitive to development; for
example, flood plains, steep slopes, unstable slopes, wetlands.
OS
-
to recognize and regulate open space uses including outdoor
recreation, and/or areas where development is generally
undesirable.
CF
-
to recognize public uses that are provided to the community in
various facilities: churches, schools, community centres, etc.
For each zone there are lists of permitted uses and corresponding standards or requirements which
include minimum lot size, minimum lot frontage, minimum depths and widths of yards, and
maximum lot coverage.
When a new use is proposed by a land owner and the new use is not presently permitted by this
Zoning By-law, Council may consider an amendment to the Zoning By-law to permit the proposed
use provided that the proposal conforms to the policies of the Official Plan.
The complete By-law is available for inspection in my office during regular office hours.

METRIC CONVERSION
NOTES ON METRIC MEASURES
This By-law is written wholly using metric measures. In compliance with standards of the
Metric Commission, all metric units are written in international abbreviations, SI (Systems
International). The symbols to this By-law are as follows:
m
-
metre or metres
m2
-
square metre or square metres
ha
-
hectare or hectares
A conversion table for the metric measures used in this By-law is provided below, showing
their imperial equivalents.
LINEAR MEASURES:
General conversion factors:
feet
=
metres ÷ 0.3048
or
feet
=
metres x 3.2808
metres
=
feet x 0.3048
AREA MEASURES:
General conversion factors:
Square feet
=
square metres ÷ 0.0929
or
Square feet
=
square metres x 10.7643
acres
=
hectares ÷ .4047
or
acres
=
hectares x 2.471
hectares
=
acres x 0.4047
DENSITY MEASURES
General Conversion Factors:
Units/hectare
= units per acre x 2.471
Units/acre
= units per hectare ÷ 2.471
