4.2 Zone Symbols and Regulations
The Zone symbols may be used to refer to buildings or structures and to the uses of
lots, buildings and structures permitted by this By-law in the said Zones.
Wherever in this By-law the word "zone" is used, preceded by any of the said zone
symbols, such reference shall mean any part of the zoned area delineated on Schedule
"A" and designated thereon by the said symbol.
For each zone established by this By-law, a separate section of this By-law sets out the
uses permitted in, and the specific provisions relating to, such zone under the headings
"PERMITTED USES" and "ZONE REGULATIONS", respectively.
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the specific zone requirements set out
for each zone shall apply to such zone in addition to the general provisions set out in
Section 3.
4.3
Site and Area Specific Regulations
Wherever a zone symbol on Schedule "A" is followed by a dash and a number such as
UR1-1, the lands so designated shall be subject to, and used in accordance with, all the
provisions of this By-law applicable to the zone represented by the zone symbol except
as otherwise specifically provided by the special provisions relating to that number as
set out in the Site and Area Specific Provisions subsection of the applicable zone
section.
4.4
Holding Zones
Where a zone symbol on Schedule "A" is followed by the letter "H" in brackets, such as
<UR1(H), the lands so designated are in a Holding Zone and may only be used for
existing uses.
The ultimate zoning category that shall apply to the lands will be the classification noted
before the letter "H". This By-law must be amended to remove the "H" and, thereby, the
holding provisions, in order to allow the ultimate provisions to apply; however, no one
except the owner of the property or the municipality may object to such a by-law
amendment.
4.5 Temporary Use Zones
Where a zone symbol on Schedule "A" is followed by the letter "T" and a number, such
as "UR1-T1", the lands so designated permit a temporary land use for a specified period
of time pursuant to Section 39(2) of the Planning Act, as amended.

4.6
Multiple Uses, Multiple Zones and Compound Zones
(1)
Multiple Uses
(a)
Where a lot contains more than one permitted use defined separately
herein, other than an accessory use, each such use shall conform to the
provisions of this By-law which are applicable to such use in the Zone in
which the said lot is located as if the use existed independently of any
other use.
(b)
Where the zone requirements pertaining to two or more uses on one lot
are in conflict, the highest or more restrictive requirements shall prevail.
(2)
Multiple Zones
(a)
Where a lot is divided into two or more zones, each such portion of the
said lot shall be considered a separate lot as defined herein and shall be
used in accordance with the provisions of this By-law which are applicable
to the zone in which such portion of the said lot is located.
(b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Paragraph (a) of this clause,
where a use or uses are permitted by the zones applying to two or more
portions of the lot, those portions shall be considered to constitute a
single lot as defined herein and the highest or most restrictive zone
requirements pertaining to such use or uses in all the applicable zones
shall apply throughout.
(3)
Compound Zones
(117/2002)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this By-Law, where two or more zone
symbols divided by a "/" are shown on Schedule "A" as applying to a lot or as
compounded by a Special Provision, that lot may be used exclusively for any use
permitted in any one zone included in the compound zone symbol, or for any
combination of uses permitted in any of the zones included in the compound
zone symbol, subject to the following regulations:
(a)
The site development specifications prescribed in this By-Law for the
selected zone in the compound zone symbol in which the use is permitted
shall be observed in the development of the lands. In the case of a
conflict when selecting a combination of uses from two or more zones,
the more restrictive zone regulation applies.
(b)
The parking and loading required by this By-Law for each of the uses
included in the development of the lands, whether for a single use or a
combination of uses, shall be provided.

4.7 Zone Boundaries
The extent and boundaries of all zones and restricted areas are set out on the maps
comprising Schedules "A", "B" and "C" hereto and shall be interpreted in accordance
with the following:
(1)
Boundaries of zones and restricted areas shall be construed, wherever possible,
to be concurrent with the centreline of a street, railway right-of-way, transmission
line or pipeline corridor, or with lot lines (other than street lines), Conservation
Authority regulation lines, or boundaries of registered plans.
(2)
In the event that a street which forms the boundary between two or more
different zones is closed, the boundary between such zones shall be construed
as being the centreline of the former street.
(3)
Where uncertainty exists as to the location of a zone boundary on Schedule "A"
or on a Schedule to any amendment to this By-law, reference shall be made to
the Schedule at the original scales contained in the Municipal Planning Offices,
and the boundary shall be deemed to be the centrepoint of the line on such
Schedule which denotes the said zone boundary.
4.8
Map Details
Any street or other names, property boundaries, municipal numbers or physical
features shown on the Zoning Map Parts of Schedule "A" are for reference purposes
only.
