PREAMBLE
These pages explain the purpose of this Zoning By-law and how it should
be used. These pages do not form part of the Zoning By-law passed by
Council and are intended only to make the Zoning By-law more
understandable and easier to reference.
1.0
PURPOSE OF THIS ZONING BY-LAW
The purpose of this Zoning By-law is to implement the policies of the Town
of Penetanguishene Official Plan. The Town of Penetanguishene Official
Plan contains general policies that affect the use of land throughout the
Town. These policies specify where certain land uses are permitted and, in
some instances, specify what regulations should apply to the development
of certain lands.
The Official Plan is a general document that is not intended to regulate
every aspect of the built-form on a lot. In the Province of Ontario, this is
the role of the Zoning By-law. Once an Official Plan is in effect, any Zoning
By-law passed by Council must conform to the Official Plan. For example,
if the Official Plan stated that lands in the vicinity of a significant natural
feature are to remain in their natural state, the Zoning By-law would
prohibit the erection of buildings or structures on those lands. A Zoning
By-law can also specifically permit certain uses of land, such as retail stores
in a downtown area.
2.0
HOW TO USE THIS BY-LAW
In order to reference this By-law most easily, a property owner should
follow each of the steps listed below to determine what provisions apply
to their particular property.
A.
LOCATE THE PROPERTY ON A MAP
Maps in a Zoning By-law are called 'Schedules'. The first step to using this
By-law is to refer to the Zone Schedules that are contained at the back of
the By-law to determine in which zone category or categories your
property is located. The zone category will be indicated on the Schedules
by a symbol or abbreviation. For example, you may see a symbol such as
"MUC" that applies to your property. This would indicate that your
property is within the 'Mixed Use Commercial Zone'. The zone symbols or
abbreviations are identified on the first page of Part 2.0 (Establishment of
Zones) of the By-law.
Town of Penetanghuishene Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2022-17 May 11, 2022
ii
Part 2.0 (Establishment of Zones) also provides assistance to help you
identify the zone boundaries on the Schedules. For example, if your
property appears close to a zone boundary and you are not sure how to
determine exactly where that boundary is located, refer to Section 2.4
(Determining Zone Boundaries) of the By-law.
B.
BY-LAW AMENDMENTS, MINOR VARIANCES AND EXCEPTIONS
A Zoning By-law is not a static document; it is amended over time as
demands and policies governing land use change. By-laws are commonly
amended to modify the zone to provide for a specific use or to prohibit a
certain use. In some cases, special provisions are applied to a property or
a series of properties that vary the zone provisions for that property. In
cases such as these, an amendment to the By-law is passed by Council and
exceptions are listed in Part 11.0 (Exceptions) of this By-law. If the
proposed change to the zoning provisions that apply is minor, a minor
variance may be considered by the Committee of Adjustment.
Before proceeding any further, you should verify that your property is not
the subject of an earlier Zoning By-law amendment or Minor Variance.
Some of these amendments are identified in the Zone Schedules and listed
in Part 11.0 (Exceptions) of this By-law. More recent amendments may not
be included in the version of the By-law you are using, while minor
variances are not included in the By-law at all. The provisions within an
exception section are intended to take precedence over any other
provision in the By-law. Lands subject to an exception will be specifically
identified on the Schedules with the use of a set of brackets containing the
exception number after the zone symbol. Staff in the Town's Planning and
Community Development Department be able to assist you to confirm if
your property has been subject to a more recent By-law amendment or
minor variance.
C.
PERMITTED USES AND ZONE STANDARDS
The next step to using this By-law is to determine what uses are permitted
on your property. Parts 6.0 - 10.0 of the By-law identify the permitted uses
for each zone in the Town. The definitions in Part 3.0 (Definitions) can assist
you if you are not sure of the nature of a use or how it has been defined
for the purposes of this By-law. Words that are defined in Part 3.0 are
highlighted bold throughout the By-law. If a word is not in bold lettering,
it is not specifically defined. Uses that are defined and then not identified
as permitted uses within a particular zone are not permitted in that specific
zone.
Town of Penetanghuishene Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2022-17 May 11, 2022
iii
The next step is to determine what standards may apply to the uses on
your property. Parts 6.0 - 10.0 of the By-law identify the standards for
each zone including minimum lot area, minimum frontage, minimum
yards, maximum lot coverage for buildings, and the maximum permitted
height of buildings.
D.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Now that you are aware of the uses permitted on your property and the
specific zone Standards that apply to those uses, reference should be made
to Part 4.0 (General Provisions) of this By-law. Part 4.0 contains a more
generic set of standards known as 'General Provisions' that apply across a
number of zones throughout the Town.
E.
PARKING AND LOADING
There is an additional section of the By-law that should be consulted when
determining what provisions apply to your specific property. Part 5.0
(Parking and Loading) provides the parking and loading requirements for
all permitted uses in the Town. If you are considering changing the use of
your property or adding a new use to your property, you should review
Part 5.0 to ensure that you are aware of the parking and loading
requirements for the proposed use.
F.
HOLDING ZONES AND TEMPORARY USES
Part 12.0 (Holding Zones) contains specific requirements that describe
what conditions need to be met in order to develop/establish permitted
uses on a property. Lands subject to a holding symbol will be specifically
identified on the Zone Schedules with the use of a (H) symbol followed by
the Holding provision number.
Part 13.0 (Temporary Uses) identifies those properties that are subject to
use permissions that only last for a specified period of time. Lands subject
to an exception will be specifically identified on the Zone Schedules with
the use of a (T) symbol followed by the Temporary Use number.
