PREAMBLE
Introduction
This preamble explains the purpose of this Zoning By-law and how it should be used. While
this preamble does not form part of the zoning by-law passed by Council it is intended 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 City of St. Catharines
Garden City Plan, which is the City's Official Plan. The Garden City 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 lots. This Zoning By-law replaces the City's existing
zoning by-laws which are referenced in Section 1.1.11 of this By-law.
The Garden City Plan is a general document that is not intended to regulate every aspect of
the built form on a lot. This is generally the role of the zoning by-law. Once an Official Plan,
our Garden City Plan, is in effect any zoning by-law passed by Council must conform to it.
For example, if the Garden City Plan stated that lands in the vicinity of a significant natural
feature are to remain in its natural state, the zoning by-law would prohibit the construction of
buildings or structures on those lands.
The statutory authority to zone land is granted by the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.p. 13 as
amended (the "Planning Act"). The Planning Act specifies what a by-law can regulate. A
zoning by-law can:
- prohibit the use of a lot or buildings for any use that is not specifically permitted by the by
law;
- prohibit the construction 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 lot;
- 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
- prohibit the use of lands and the construction of buildings or structures on land that has
environmental or archaeological constraints.
Description of By-Law Components
This By-Law contains 15 sections which taken together provides the standards applicable to
all lots within the municipality. Section 16 does not form part of this By-law, and is provided
to assist in the interpretation and implementation of the by-law.
The purpose of each of these sections is described below.
SECTION 1 ADMINISTRATION AND INTERPRETATION
This section of the By-law specifies:
- what lots are governed by the By-law;
- that every lot in the area covered by this By-law shall conform and comply with this By
law; and,
- what penalties can be levied against a person or a corporation if this By-law is
contravened.

SECTION 2 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 accessory buildings
and provisions that regulate the operation of a home based business.
SECTION 3 GENERAL PARKING PROVISIONS
This section provides regulations dealing with the number of parking spaces required for
uses, accessible parking spaces, minimum parking space size, bicycle parking facilities, and
the location of parking facilities on a lot.
SECTION 4 ESTABLISHMENT OF ZONES
This section sets out the zones and a list of the uses permitted in each zone. If a use is not
specifically listed as a permitted use in a zone then it is not permitted. In some zones certain
uses are only permitted under specific circumstances or only together with other uses.
SECTION 5 TO 11 ZONE PROVISIONS
These sections list the uses that are permitted in each zone and contain a number of
regulations that control the location and character of buildings and structures, and includes
among other things, regulations governing lot size, lot frontage, and building height.
SECTION 12 DEFINITIONS
Definitions in this section provide clarity and consistency in the implementation of this By-law.
SECTION 13 SPECIAL PROVISIONS
This Section provides a consolidated list of lots with special zoning provisions that are
exceptions to the normal zone requirements of this By-law. Lots subject to special provisions
are identified on the map schedules in Section 15.
SECTION 14 HOLDING PROVISIONS
This Section provides a consolidated list of lots with specific conditions, called Holding
provisions, that must be satisfied prior to development or re-development. Lots subject to
holding provisions are identified on the map schedules in Section 15.
SECTION 15 MAP SCHEDULES
This section contains maps of the City showing the zoning of each lot, site specific lot
information where applicable, and the Natural Area Extent Line showing the extent and limit
of all natural heritage features and natural hazard lands currently identified by upper tier
government and agencies.
SECTION 16 APPENDICES
The appendices contain a series of drawings, illustrations and maps. The appendices do not
constitute part of this By-law but contain information which will be applied in the interpretation
and implementation of this By-law.

or lot is used for more than one purpose, all provisions of this By-law relating
to each separate use shall be applied. All applicable provisions of this By-law
apply to an individual lot, unless stated otherwise.
Any use not specifically permitted by this By-law is not permitted. A use
defined in Section 12 but not identified as a permitted use in any zone or by
special provision is not permitted.

of Ontario, the Government of Canada, the Canadian National Railway, the

4.3 Special Provisions
Where special provisions are established for certain lots, the applicable regulations of
the special provisions apply in addition to, or as an exception to, the normal zone
provisions that apply to the subject lot(s).
Where on Schedule A to this By-law, a zone symbol (such as R1) applying to a lot
contains a suffix at the end of the zone symbol consisting of a dash and number (e.g.
R1-1), this indicates that a special provision applies to the subject lot. The number
after the dash corresponds with the special provision number as set out in Section 13.
There may be more than one number and, hence, special provision, that applies to
certain lots (such as R1-1-14 and thus Special Provision 1 and 14 would apply).
4.4 Holding (H) Provisions
Where a zone symbol contains the suffix 'H' with or without a special provision (for
example R4-H1 or R4-1-H1) the zoning shall not take effect until the prescribed
conditions are met and the '(H)' is removed from the subject lot.
When the amending by-law removing the 'H' Holding symbol from a zone is enacted,
the permitted uses and regulations for that lot shall apply.
Until such time as the prescribed conditions are met the identified lot shall only be
used for the existing permitted use as of the date of this By-law including the
expansion of the existing permitted use, or other uses as set out in the Holding
provision(s).
Lots with Holding provisions, including the conditions required to be satisfied prior to
the removal of Holding (H) Zone symbol, are identified in Section 14.

SECTION 13 SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Where special provisions are established for certain lots, the applicable regulations of the special
provisions apply in addition to, or as an exception to, the normal zone provisions that apply to the
subject lands.
Where on Schedule A to this By-law, a zone symbol (e.g. R1) applying to lots contains a suffix at
the end of the zone symbol consisting of a dash and number (e.g. R1-1), this indicates that a
special provision applies to the subject lot(s). The number after the dash corresponds with the
special provision number as set out in Section 13. There may be more than one number and,
hence, special provision, that applies to certain lots (e.g. R1-1, 14 and thus Special Provision 1
and 14 would apply).
All other provisions of this By-law, not mentioned in this section shall continue to apply.
