HOW TO USE THIS BY-LAW
INTRODUCTION
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.
PURPOSE OF THIS ZONING BY-LAW
The purpose of this Zoning By-law is to implement the policies of the Township of Seguin
Official Plan. The Official Plan contains general policies that affect the use of land
throughout the Municipality. 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 private 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.
The statutory authority to zone land is granted by the Ontario Planning Act. The Planning
Act specifies what a By-law can regulate. A Zoning By-law can:
-
prohibit the use of land or buildings for any use that is not specifically permitted by
the By-law;
-
prohibit the erection or siting of buildings and structures on a lot except in locations
permitted by the By-law;
-
regulate the type of construction and the height, bulk, location, size, floor area,
spacing, and use of buildings or structures;
-
regulate the minimum frontage and depth of a parcel of land;
-
regulate the proportion of a lot that any building or structure may occupy;
-
regulate the minimum elevation of doors, windows or other openings in buildings or
structures;
-
require parking and loading facilities be provided and maintained for a purpose
permitted by the By-law; and,
Township of Seguin Zoning By-law
How To Use This By-law - This does not form part of this By-law
ii
-
prohibit the use of lands and the erection of buildings or structures on land that is:
-
subject to flooding;
-
the site of steep slopes;
-
rocky, low-lying, marshy or unstable;
-
contaminated;
-
a sensitive groundwater recharge area or head water area;
-
the location of a sensitive aquifer;
-
a significant wildlife habitat area, wetland, woodland, ravine, valley or area
of natural and scientific interest;
-
a significant corridor or shoreline of a lake, river or stream; or,
-
the site of a significant archaeological resource.
HOW TO USE THIS BY-LAW
In order to reference this By-law easily, a property owner should follow each of the steps
listed below to determine what permissions apply to their particular property.
1.
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 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 "SR1" beside your property. This would indicate that your
property is within the "Shoreline Residential One" Zone. The zone symbols or
abbreviations are explained on the first page of Section 3 of the By-law.
Section 3 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 3.6 of the By-law.
2.
By-law Amendments
A Zoning By-law is not a static document; it is amended over time as demands and
policies governing land use change. Before proceeding any further, you should
verify that your property is not the subject of an earlier Zoning By-law amendment.
While the Township strives to keep this By-law up-to-date, more recent
amendments may not be included in the version of the By-law you are using. Staff
in the Township's Planning Department will be able to assist you to confirm if your
property has been subject to a more recent By-law amendment.
3.
Zone Provisions
Township of Seguin Zoning By-law
How To Use This By-law - This does not form part of this By-law
iii
The next step to using this By-law is to determine what uses are permitted on your
property. Subsection 2 in Sections 6 to 11 of the By-law identify the permitted uses
and zone requirements for each zone in the Municipality.
The definitions in Section 13 can assist you if you are not sure of the nature of a
permitted use or how it has been defined for the purposes of this By-law. Uses which
are not identified as permitted uses within a particular zone are not permitted in
that zone.
You have now identified the zone in which your property is located and have
identified what uses are permitted on your property. The next step is to determine
what standards may apply to the uses on your property. Subsection 3 in Sections 6
to 11 of the By-law identifies the zone requirements for each of the zone categories
in the Municipality including standards for minimum lot area, minimum frontage
requirements, minimum yard requirements, maximum lot coverage for buildings,
maximum permitted height of buildings and in some cases, the minimum required
landscaped open space on the lot.
4.
General Provisions
Now that you are aware of the uses permitted on your property and the specific
zone requirements that apply to those uses, reference should be made to Section
4 of this By-law. Section 4 contains a more general set of standards known as
'General Provisions' that apply to all properties in all zones throughout the
Municipality. For example, the general provisions contain standards that regulate
the location of accessory structures on a lot, height exceptions, and non-
conforming/non-complying uses that apply to all properties regardless of what
zone the property is located.
5.
Parking and Loading
Section 5 provides the parking and loading requirements for all uses permitted in
the Municipality. If you are considering changing the use of your property or
adding a new use to your property, you should review Section 5 to ensure that you
are aware of the parking requirements for the proposed use.
6.
Exceptions, Holding Zones and Temporary Uses
As noted in #2 above, By-laws are not static documents and lands may be subject
to a zone exception, a holding zone, or a temporary use. If a zone symbol is
followed by a dash (-) and a number the lands are subject to a site specific
exception. These can be found in Subsection 3 of the relevant Section. If the zone
symbol is followed by an (H) or a (T), the lands are subject to holding symbol or
temporary use, which can be found in Section 12.
Township of Seguin Zoning By-law
How To Use This By-law - This does not form part of this By-law
iv
What are Legal Non-Conforming and Legal Non-Complying For The Purposes Of This By-
law?
A legal non-conforming use is a use of land and/or building that legally existed on the
date
By-law 2006-125 comes into effect under the Planning Act. To be legal, the use must have
been permitted on the lands in accordance with the previous Zoning By-laws for the
Township.
A legal non-complying building or structure is a building or structure that was legally
erected in a location it was in when Zoning By-law 2006-125 comes into effect under the
Planning Act. To be legal, the location of the building or structure must have been
authorized on the lands in accordance with the Township's previous Zoning By-laws.
Alternatively, if the building or structure existed on the lands for a considerable number of
years, the building or structure may be legal if it was legally erected before the first By-law
for the Township of Seguin or the By-law for the original Township was passed.
Description of By-law Components
This By-law contains thirteen sections which together, provide the land uses and standards
applicable to all lands within the Municipality. These sections are as follows:
Section 1 - Interpretation
Section 2 - Administration
Section 3 - Establishment of Zones
Section 4 - General Provisions
Section 5 - Parking and Loading
Section 6 - Residential Zone Provisions
Section 7 - Commercial Zone Provisions
Section 8 - Industrial Zone Provisions
Section 9 - Institutional Zone Provisions
Section 10 - Rural Zone Provisions
Section 11 - Environmental Protection Zone Provisions
Section 12 - Holding Provisions and Temporary Use Zones
Section 13 - Definitions
Section 14 - Enactment
The purpose of each of these sections is described below.
Sections 1 and 2 - Interpretation and Administration
These sections of the By-law specify:
-
what lands are covered by the By-law;
Township of Seguin Zoning By-law
How To Use This By-law - This does not form part of this By-law
v
-
that every parcel of land in the area covered by the By-law is to conform and
comply with the By-law; and,
-
what penalties can be levied against a person or a corporation if they contravene
any provision in the By-law.
Section 3 - Establishment Of Zones
This section establishes the Zones that apply to the lands covered by the By-law. This
section also describes how to determine the location of the Zone boundaries on the
schedules.
Section 4 - General Provisions
This section contains a number of regulations that apply to certain types of uses, buildings
or structures regardless of where in the Municipality or in what zone they are located. For
example, this section contains provisions dealing with the construction of docks in any
zone, or provisions to regulate the operation of home industries.
Section 5 - Parking and Loading
Parking and loading facilities are required for almost all uses within the Municipality. This
section provides the requirements for these facilities including such regulations as the
number of spaces required for residential and commercial uses, minimum driveway width,
minimum parking space size and the location of parking facilities on a lot.
Sections 6 to 11 - Zone Provisions
Sections 6 to 11 identify the uses that are permitted in each Zone category. The effect of
these Zones is to only permit certain uses in various parts of the Municipality. The only uses
permitted in a zone are those that are specified in the By-law. If a use is not specifically
mentioned as a permitted use in a Zone then it is not permitted. Similarly, if a use is defined
in Section 13 of the By-law but does not appear as a permitted use in any zone, then it is
not a use permitted by the By-law.
Sections 6 to 11 also contain a number of regulations that control the placement, bulk
and height of a building on a lot. This includes regulations such as minimum lot size,
minimum frontage, maximum building height or the maximum coverage of a building on
a lot.
Section 12 - Holding Zones and Temporary Use Zones
This Section provides a consolidated list of properties that are subject to Holding Provisions
and Temporary Use Zones.
Section 13 - Definitions
Township of Seguin Zoning By-law
How To Use This By-law - This does not form part of this By-law
vi
It is necessary to define words in a Zoning By-law because it is a legal document. A By-
law must be drafted so that it can be enforced in a court of law. These definitions will help
provide clarity in the By-law and ensure that the By-law and its intent are applied
consistently.
Section 14 - Enactment
This section contains the signatures of the Mayor and the Clerk who signed the By-law
when it was passed by Council in accordance with Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O.
1990 c.P. 13.

1.
Section 2.5.1, 2.5.2 and 2.5.3 of this By-law are hereby re-enacted,
retroactive to such date as such sections may have otherwise
"expired" or been "repealed" by the passage of time, but only
insofar as those sections apply to a "Qualifying Project" as defined
below.
2.
For purposes of this By-law, a Qualifying Project is a proposal for the
development or redevelopment of land (the "Proposal"), where an
"Approval" (as defined in section 2.5.2 of this By-law) had been
granted for the Proposal prior to April 22, 2008.
3.
Despite anything in this By-law to the contrary, a Qualifying Project
shall be eligible for a building permit for the Proposal based on
compliance with the "Zoning Bylaw" (as defined in section 2.5.2 of
this By-law) provided that:
a) The Approval for the Proposal is still valid and has not been
rescinded or overturned by Council or any court or any other
governmental authority, body or tribunal having jurisdiction to
do so;
b) The application for a building permit was filed within a
reasonable time after the granting of the Approval;
c) The application for a building permit complied with the Ontario
Building Code Act ("OBCA"), and all applicable regulations, at
the time the application was filed with the Township;

result of the owner being at fault, or in default, with respect to
paying all applicable fees and satisfying all applicable
conditions of the Approval;
e) The "Development" (as defined in section 2.5.2 of this By-law)
proceeds in strict accordance with the plans originally filed with
the Township in support of the application for Development;
and
f) The owner proceeds with reasonable diligence, once a building
permit has been issued for all or part of the Qualifying Project.
4.
Once a building permit has been issued by the Township pursuant
to clause 3(f) hereof, the owner of a Qualifying Project shall be
entitled to receive such further building permit(s) as is or are
necessary to complete the Development, but only upon satisfying
the usual conditions with respect to the issuance of building permits
under the OBCA.
5.
If the owner wishes to make any change(s) to the approved plans
for a Qualifying Project, any such change(s) shall be in strict
compliance with the provisions of this By-law and, in that case, the
provisions of this By-law shall take priority over the provisions of the
Township of Seguin Zoning By-law
2-4
Section 2 - Administration
"Zoning By-law" (as defined in section 2.5.2 of this Bylaw) with
respect to any such change(s).

that does not strictly comply with the provisions of this Section.
2.5(B)
1. Despite sub-section 2.5.6, as it read when enacted by this By-law, for
the purposes of a Qualifying Project (as defined in Section 2.5(A) of
this By-law) subsection 2.5.6 is not repealed until such time as such
Qualifying Project has either received a building permit or has been
"abandoned".
2. A Qualifying Project shall be deemed to have been "abandoned" if
the Owner has not taken any action to proceed with the
Development for a period of six months or there has been no activity
on the Proposal for a period of six months.
