or general welfare. Whenever the requirements of this By-law are at variance with the
requirements of any other By-law, the more restrictive, or the By-law imposing the highest

person from complying with the requirements of any other By-law of the Municipality or
from any law of the Province of Ontario or of the Government of Canada.
2.2
ZONING SCHEDULES
Schedules "A" attached hereto, together with notations and references shown thereon, are

When determining the boundary of any Zone as shown on Schedule "A" forming part of this

A boundary indicated as following a highway, street or lane shall be the centre line of
such highway, street or lane, unless otherwise indicated;

A boundary indicated as following a watercourse, creek, stream or the right-of-way of
a railway or an electrical, gas or oil transmission line shall be the centre line of such
watercourse, creek, stream or right-of-way;
c)
A boundary indicated as approximately following lot lines shown on a registered plan
of subdivision or township lot, shall follow such lot lines;
d)
A boundary indicated as approximately parallel to a street line or other feature
indicated in clauses a) or b) of this subsection, and the distance from such street line or

limits.

include the plural; words in the plural include the singular number; words in the masculine

used"; the word "shall" is mandatory and not discretionary.
Unless the context clearly indicates the contrary, where a regulation involves two or more
items, conditions, provisions or events connected by the conjunction "and", "or", or "either-
or", the conjunction shall be interpreted as follows:
a)
"and" indicates that all connected items, conditions, provisions or events shall apply in

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this By-law, where any land, building or structure
is used for more than one permitted use, all provisions of this By-law shall be complied with
for each use, except in the case of lot area, lot frontage, lot coverage and minimum yard
requirements in which case the most restrictive or stringent requirement shall apply.
2.7
PROPERTIES WITH MORE THAN ONE ZONE
Where a lot is divided into more than one zone, each such portion of said lot shall be
considered separately for the purposes of determining zone provisions such as lot area, lot
frontage, required front yard, required side and rear yards and each such portion shall
conform to the provisions of the appropriate zone, but no lot shall have more than one

shall hereafter be erected or used except in accordance with the general and special
provisions of this By-law, but nothing in this By-law prevents the use of any land, building
or structure for any use prohibited by this By-law if such land, building or structure was
