USERS GUIDE - 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 THE ZONING BY-LAW
The purpose of this Zoning By-law is to implement the policies of the Township of Tiny
Official Plan and to regulate the use of land and the construction of new buildings and
structures throughout the municipality. 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. This By-law reflects the Township of Tiny Official Plan
adopted by Council on November 26, 2018, which came into full force and effect on
December 9, 2021.
The statutory authority to zone land and regulate land use 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 lot area 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,
-
prohibit the use of lands and the erection of buildings or structures on land
that is:
- subject to flooding;
TINY ZONING BY-LAW
vi
- 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; or
- a significant corridor or shoreline of a lake, river or stream.
HOW TO USE THIS BY-LAW
In order to use this By-law easily, a property owner should follow each of the steps
listed below to determine what zoning permissions apply to their particular property.
1.
Locate the Property on a Map
The first step to using this By-law is to refer to the zone schedules and maps that
are contained at the back of the By-law (in hardcopy formats), posted as Adobe
(.pdf) documents on the Township website or to use the Township's Zoning
Interactive Map on the Township website to determine which zone category your
property is located in. The zone category will be indicated on the maps or in the
Zoning Tool by a symbol or abbreviation. For example, you may see a symbol such
as "SR" for the property. This would indicate that your property is within the
"Shoreline Residential" Zone. The zone symbols or abbreviations are explained
later in this guide and in Section 1 of the By-law.
Section 1 also provides assistance to help you interpret the zone boundaries on
the zoning maps. 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,
Section 1 of the By-law will provide appropriate guidance.
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 a 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.
TINY ZONING BY-LAW
vii
3.
Zone Provisions
The next step to using this By-law is to determine what uses are permitted on your
property. Tables 4.1 to 4.6 in Section 4.0 of the By-law identify the permitted uses
for each zone in the Municipality.
The definitions in Section 7.0 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. Accessory uses to a permitted use are permitted in accordance with
the provisions of Section 2.0 of this By-law.
If your property is subject of one of the four overlay zones (Nipissing Ridge, Well
Head Protection Area, Issues Contributing Area, and Huronia Airport) there will be
additional restrictions on permitted uses and/or certain regulations. These
additional regulations can be found in Section 2.0 of this By-law.
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. Section 5.0 will provide you
with the specific zone standards that apply to any new building or structure (i.e.
minimum setbacks, maximum lot coverage, maximum height, etc.).
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
2.0 of this By-law. Section 2.0 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 section contains standards that
regulate the location of accessory structures on a lot and height exceptions, as well
as providing guidelines for the potential expansion of legal non-conforming uses
and/or non-complying buildings and structures. The General Provisions apply to all
properties regardless of what zone the property is located in, unless otherwise
specified.
5.
Parking and Loading
Section 3.0 provides the parking and loading space 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 3.0 to
ensure that you are aware of the parking requirements for the proposed use. All
required parking generated by a change of use, new use or new building must be
accommodated on-site and off the public street.
TINY ZONING BY-LAW

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 and
are subject to site specific exception provisions in addition to all provisions of the
parent zone and general provisions, unless otherwise stated in the exception.
These can be found in Table 6.1 in Section 6.0. If the zone symbol is followed by
an (H) or a (T), the lands are subject to holding symbol or temporary use, which can
also be found in Section 6.0, Tables 6.2 and 6.3.
WHAT ARE THE TERMS '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 prior to a
Zoning By-law coming into effect. To be legal, the use must have been lawfully established
and permitted on the lands in accordance with the second Zoning By-law for the Township
of Tiny (By-law 30-77 passed July 28, 1977) for the Township.
A legal non-complying building or structure is a building or structure that was legally
constructed and in a location that was permitted at the time in accordance with the
applicable Zoning By-law but does not comply with the current standards. Alternatively, if
the building or structure existed before the passage of the second Zoning By-law for the
Township of Tiny (By-law 30-77 passed July 28, 1977) the building or structure would be
legal.
Guidance on both non-conforming and non-complying uses are provided in Section 2.0
General Provisions.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BY-LAW'S COMPONENTS
This By-law contains eight sections, which together, provide the land uses and standards
applicable to all lands within the Municipality. These sections are as follows:
Section 1.0 - Interpretation and Administration
Section 2.0 - General Provisions
Section 3.0 - Parking and Loading
Section 4.0 - Permitted Uses
Section 5.0 - Zone Standards
Section 6.0 - Exceptions, Holding and Temporary Use Zones
Section 7.0 - Definitions
Section 8.0 - Enactment
The purpose of each of these Sections is described below.
TINY ZONING BY-LAW
ix
Section 1.0 - Interpretation and Administration
This section of the By-law specifies a range of interpretation and administration matters
including the following:
-
title of the By-law;
-
what lands are covered by the By-law;
-
that every parcel of land in the area covered by the By-law is to conform and
comply with the By-law;
-
that the requirements of the By-law must be met before a building permit is
issued;
-
the establishment of the zones and zone symbols used in the schedules and
in this By-law; and
-
what penalties can be levied against a person or a corporation if they
contravene any provision in the By-law.
Section 2.0 - General Provisions
This section contains 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 structures in any zone, provisions to regulate the operation of home
occupations, and overlay zones that apply to specific areas.
Section 3.0 - Parking and Loading
Parking and loading facilities are required for almost all uses within the Municipality. This
section provides the requirements for parking facilities including such regulations as the
minimum number of spaces required for a range of uses, minimum driveway widths,
minimum parking space size, and the location of parking facilities on a lot.
Section 4.0 - Permitted Uses
This section identifies the uses that are permitted in each Zone category. The effect of
these Zones is to only permit certain uses in various zones and areas 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 7.0 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.
Section 5.0 - Zone Standards
Zone Standards are set out in Section 5 of this By-law and contain a number of regulations
that control the placement, bulk and height of buildings on a lot or parcel of land. This
includes regulations such as minimum lot size, minimum lot frontage, maximum building
TINY ZONING BY-LAW
x
height, or the maximum coverage of buildings and structures on a lot. Standards are
provided in tables and are organized by broad zone categories.
Section 6.0 - Exceptions, Holding and Temporary Uses
This Section provides a consolidated list of properties that are subject to Zone Exceptions,
Holding Zones and Temporary Use Zones. These are noted on the schedules to the By-
law with the zone symbol and number (i.e. SR) or following the zone symbol (i.e. SR-H1,
or RU-T3).
Section 7.0 - Definitions
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. If a word is not defined, refer to a dictionary and apply the defined term in
the context for which that word is used.
Section 8.0 - 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.

your questions with respect to the zoning rules and regulations affecting your property.
Contact information is available on the Township website at www.tiny.ca.
What if you are able to find your zoning, but the use you are proposing is not permitted
or your building location does not comply with the relevant setbacks? You may need to
apply for either a minor variance, Zoning By-law Amendment, or other planning
application if you cannot or do not wish to change your development plans. In this
instance, you should contact the Township Planning Department to discuss the other
planning approvals that you may need and what would constitute a "complete
application".
If you found all the relevant information and you think you are ready for your construction
project, information on the requirements for a Building Permit application pursuant to the
Ontario Building Code are also available on the Township website at www.tiny.ca.
