Section 1: How to Read this By-law

WAINFLEET ZONING BY-LAW
1.0 HOW TO READ THIS BY-LAW
This introduction explains how to read and use this Zoning By-law and is solely for the
purpose of assisting the reader. Readers unfamiliar with zoning by-laws are encouraged to
read this introduction.
This introduction does not constitute a legal part of this By-law.
All lands within the Township of Wainfleet correspond to a zone category described in
Sections 6 through 12 of this zoning by-law. These zone categories consist of broad land
use categories including: Agricultural, Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Institutional,
Open Space and Mobile Home Park Zones. Sections 6 through 12 set out the requirements
of each zone including the permitted uses, the lot area requirements and the restrictions on
where buildings and structures can be situated on a lot. The location and boundary of each
zone is shown on the maps (1-40) found in Section 15, at the end of this by-law.
Within each of the zone categories, multiple zones are described. At the beginning of each
of the zone categories (i.e., Sections 6 through 12), the permitted uses for each zone are laid
out in a table format, with any additional qualifications listed directly following the table.
Each zone also contains a table setting out requirements for lots, buildings and structures
which address such matters as lot area, lot frontage, yard setbacks, and building height
among other matters. For some zones, these requirements are set out according to
different uses. In other zones, these requirements are set out for the zone as a whole.
In addition to the provisions for each zone, there are some requirements that apply to all
zones, such as provisions pertaining to accessory structures and parking requirements.
These general provisions and parking provisions are found in Sections 4 and 5 respectively.
There are also provisions that apply only to an individual property or a small group of
properties, and these are called site specific exceptions. These site specific exceptions are
listed in tables at the end of each zone category (i.e. the last subsection in each of Sections 6
through 12).
There are also four overlay zones as follows:
- Hazard;
- Fish Habitat;
- Environmental Protection; and
- Environmental Conservation Overlay Zones.

Section 1: How to Read this By-law

These overlay zones apply in addition to the underlying zones. These overlay zones
restrict development subject to certain explicit requirements as detailed in Section 13 of
this by-law. If the requirements of the overlay zones are satisfied, then development
according to the provisions of the underlying zones may be permitted.
When reviewing the Maps in Section 15, each zone is denoted on the maps by a single
symbol - i.e. 'A1'.
Site Specific Zoning (Exceptions)
Properties to which a site specific exception applies are denoted by a zone symbol and a
site specific exception (which follows a dash) - i.e. 'A1-219'. All such specific exceptions
are listed in tables at the end of each zone.
Residential Lakeshore - Maximum Lot Coverage
In the Residential Lakeshore zone, the maps also denote the maximum lot coverage. The
maximum lot coverage is denoted by the number directly following the "c" in the symbol -
i.e. 'RLS.c25'. In this example, the maximum lot coverage for the property is 25%.
High Aquifer Vulnerability Area
In addition to the zone maps, map 41 shows areas of High Aquifer Vulnerability. In these
areas, additional restrictions apply to certain uses. These restrictions are found in Section
4.30.
The recommended process to verify the zoning applicable to a property is to:
a)
Locate the property on the maps in Section 15 and identify which zone it is in;
b)
Determine which zone category and section of the by-law that this zone is
described in;
c)
Review the permitted uses applicable to that zone that are contained in the
"Permitted Uses" table at the beginning of each Section 6 through 12;
d)
Review the zone provisions applicable to that zone. These are contained in the
"Lot, Building and Structure Requirements" table in the second subsection of
each Section 6 through 12;
e)
Review any applicable site specific exceptions contained at the end of the
corresponding zones section. If a property is subject to a site specific exception,
it will be indicated on the maps in Section 15;
f)
Determine if any Overlay Zones (i.e. Hazard, Fish Habitat, Environmental
Protection, and/or Environmental Conservation) apply to the property and
review the relevant provisions in Section 13 that apply to the applicable Overlay
Zones.

g)
Review the applicable general provisions and parking regulations in Sections 4
and 5;
h)
Review Map 41 to determine if the property falls into either an area of Aquifer
Vulnerability and, if so, review the additional provisions in Section 4.30; and
i)
Contact the Township to ensure up-to-date information and whether the
property is subject to any variances.
