Comprehensive Zoning By-law
Foreword
This Zoning By-law affects all lands within the Town of Parry Sound. To use this By-law, locate the
subject property on the map schedules provided and determine the zone(s) which affects the land.
Then review the specific regulations relating to the zone(s) in Section 5: Zones. It is also important
to review Section 4: General Provisions and any applicable definitions in Section 3: Definitions.
Changes to the requirements contained in this By-law may be made with prior approval by the Town
as provided for under the Planning Act. Significant changes may be made through the zoning by-law
amendment process. Minor variations may be granted by the Town's Committee of Adjustment. Both
processes require formal applications to be submitted to the Municipality and both involve
mandatory public notification.
Should you have any questions about the interpretation of the wording of this by-law or the process
involved to obtain relief from its provisions, please contact the Town Office.

adjoining zone on the landward side shall extend and include all of the closed road
allowance on the affected lot;
(b)
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 center line of such

A boundary indicated as following the shoreline shall follow such shoreline, and in the
event of a change in the shoreline, the boundary shall be construed as moving with the
actual shoreline;
(d)
Where zoning boundaries are indicated as approximately following lot lines shown on
a registered plan of subdivision, reference plan, mining claim, municipal or geographic
township or Town , such lot lines shall be deemed to be the said boundary;
(e)
A boundary indicated as following the limits of the Town of Parry Sound shall follow
such limits;
(f)
Where zoning boundaries are indicated as approximately parallel to the line of any street
and the distance from such street is not indicated, such zoning boundaries shall be
construed as being parallel to such street lines and the distance therefrom shall be

determined by the use of the scale shown on the zoning map;
(g)
Where any zone boundary or a dimension is left uncertain after application of the above
provisions then the boundary or dimension shall be determined from the zoning map
using the scale bar thereon.
