How to Determine a Property's Zoning and Identify Applicable Regulations
To determine the zoning and regulations that apply to a specific property, such as the permitted
uses or Lot and Building requirements, follow these steps:
Step 1: Identify the Property's Zoning on the Key Map
To determine the zoning for a property, you should first identify the subject property on the
County of Prince Edward Key Zoning Map. The Key Zoning Map is available as a series of A-
Series Schedules (i.e., A-1, A-2, etc.) to the Comprehensive Zoning By-law, which divides the
County geographically into nine (9) areas. The A-Series Schedules are also available for review
through the County's Public GIS Viewer (https://www.thecounty.ca/residents/services/gis-
mapping/) - an online and interactive mapping website prepared using ArcGIS.

County Council Adoption: November 10, 2025
v
Zoning By-law
User Guide
Zones and their boundaries are shown as various colours on the Zoning Map and identified in
the Zoning Map legend. The Zones are also labelled with symbols, to further assist in identifying
the Zone which applies to a property. The following summarizes the meaning of different types
of Zone symbols:
This is a parent Zone. The acronyms for each parent Zone are
explained in the Zoning Map legend. For example, "AG" means the
Agriculture Zone. Many properties in the County are identified only
with a parent Zone.
Each parent Zone has its own section in this Zoning By-law
(Sections 5.0 to 14.0) which details permitted uses, Lot and
Building requirements, and additional provisions that apply to all
properties within that Zone.
If a dash and a number follow the Zone symbol (e.g., "TC-9"), then
the property is subject to a site-specific Exception Zone. The
provisions for each individual Exception Zone are found in the
Zoning By-law document under a subsection within the parent
Zone section (e.g., Section 9.0 Commercial Zones, Subsection
9.5.5 Tourist Commercial Exception Zones).
An Exception Zone contains provisions that override, or are in
addition to, the base Zone provisions. For example, a property with
the Exception Zone TC-9 will be subject to the provisions of the
Tourist Commercial (TC) Zone, and site-specific exception
provisions within the TC-9 Exception Zone.
If an "(H)" symbol follows the Zone symbol and site-specific
Exception Zone (e.g., "MR-28(H)"), then the property is subject to a
Holding Zone. Where a Holding Zone applies, no development can
occur and only legally existing Uses are permitted on the property,
until such time that the holding is lifted by a By-law of Council, in
accordance with the specific holding provisions for that property.
The specific holding provisions are found under the Exception
Zone (e.g., for the MR-28 Zone, they are found under Section 10.0
Industrial Zones, Subsection 10.5.3 Rural Industrial (MR) Exception
Zones).

Zoning By-law
User Guide
Step 2: Identify Permitted Uses
Once the applicable Zone symbol for the subject property is identified, you should refer to the
Section of the Zoning By-law document that corresponds with the applicable Zone symbol. For
instance, if the subject property is zoned Residential Type 1 (R1), refer to Section 7.0, Table 7-
2 to identify the types of uses that are permitted on the property.
Each of the Zone sections in the County (Sections 6.0 to 12.0 in the Zoning By-law) contains a
subsection entitled "Permitted Uses and Lot Requirements", where lists of permitted uses and
lot and building requirements (i.e., Zone standards) are provided. Note that if the subject
property has a site-specific Exception Zone, as identified in Step 1, the Exception Zone may
contain specific provisions regarding the types of uses which are permitted or prohibited on the
property and/or specific lot and building requirements (i.e., Zone standards).
Each of the permitted uses and lot and building requirements (i.e., Zone Standards) have a
corresponding definition, which can be found in Section 2.0 Definitions of the Zoning By-law.
Step 3: Identify Zone Standards
Next, you will need to understand the
lot and building requirements that
apply to a proposed development. Lot
and building requirements are found
under the subsections, "Lot
Requirements," and "Zone Standards"
in each Zone (Sections 6.0 to 12.0 in
the Zoning By-law).

County Council Adoption: November 10, 2025
vii
Zoning By-law
User Guide
Different types of permitted uses may have different requirements. Separate columns and
subsections may be provided for different types of permitted uses (e.g., residential and non-
residential uses).
Zone Standards may include minimum lot area, minimum lot frontage, yard setbacks, maximum
building height, and other requirements.
If the subject property has a site-specific Exception Zone, as identified in Step 1, the Exception
Zone provisions may include specific lot and building requirements for the property that differ
from the Zone Standards described in the applicable "parent" Zone.
Step 4: Determine Applicable General Provisions
Section 3.0 General Provisions applies to all Zones, unless specifically stated otherwise. All
general provisions in the Zoning By-law document should be reviewed to determine the
provisions that apply to a particular proposed development or property.
For example, the General Provisions contain specific requirements for accessory uses,
buildings, and structures (e.g., detached garages, sheds). Other General Provisions include
detailed requirements related to parking and loading facilities, as well as permitted projections
into required yards (such as porches, steps, bay windows, etc.).
The General Provisions also contain requirements for broadly permitted uses and structures like
shipping containers and home occupations. Some General Provisions are only applicable in
certain situations, such as properties located within, or in close proximity to natural hazard
constraints such as the regulatory floodplain, Provincially Significant Wetlands, and
escarpments.

User Guide
Step 5: Identify Other Federal or Provincial Regulations and Requirements
Depending on a proposed development or location of a property, other permits may be required
from Federal or Provincial regulatory authorities, such as the Quinte Conservation and Parks
Canada. The Zoning By-law is not intended to replace or incorporate the regulations or approval
processes of other regulatory approval authorities. Additionally, other approvals from the
County, such as a Building Permit from the Chief Building Official, may be required.
Property owners should always consult with Prince Edward County Planning staff to
determine the approval requirements for a particular project. If the provisions of the
Zoning By-law cannot be met, a Minor Variance application or a Zoning By-law
Amendment application may be required.

10.0 Industrial Zones
10.0 Industrial Zones
The Industrial Zones are intended to implement the policies of the Villages, Hamlets, Rural
Industrial Lands, and Mineral Aggregate Resources Overlay designations in the Official Plan.
This Zone generally permits a wide range of light to heavy industrial uses.
Light industrial uses are uses where a product is produced, manufactured, assembled or stored,
and that have a low probability of fugitive emissions (e.g., noise, odour, dust and vibration). Such
industries operate primarily in the daytime with infrequent movement of products and minimal
outside storage. Examples include: manufacturing and food processing. Other commercial and
servicing uses that are intended to serve the immediate area are permitted in certain Industrial
Zones.
Heavy industrial uses are characterized as having regular emissions such as noise, smoke,
odour, fumes and/or vibrations. Such industries may operate continuously with frequent
movement of products and extensive outside storage. Special attention shall be given to the
buffering of such industries from other uses, and to the accommodation of industrial traffic flows.
