MUNICIPALITY OF WAWA ZONING BY-LAW

Adopted by By-law 2821-15 on June 2, 2015
PREAMBLE
INTRODUCTION
These pages explain the purpose of this zoning by-law and how it should be used. This part of
the document does 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 understand.
PURPOSE OF THIS ZONING BY-LAW
The purpose of this zoning by-law is to implement the policies of the Wawa 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 and land use 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
construction of buildings or structures on those lands.
Section 34 of the Ontario Planning Act provides municipalities with the authority to Zone land.
The Planning Act specifies what a by-law can regulate. These matters include:
-
Prohibiting the use of land or buildings for any use that is not specifically permitted by the
by-law;
-
Prohibiting the erection or siting of buildings and structures on a lot except in locations
permitted by the by-law;
-
Regulating the type of construction and the height, bulk, location, size, floor area,
spacing, and use of buildings or structures;
-
Regulating minimum and maximum housing densities;
-
Regulating the minimum frontage and depth of a parcel of land;
-
Regulating the proportion of a lot that any building or structure may occupy;
-
Regulating the minimum elevation of doors, windows or other openings in buildings or
structures;
-
Requiring parking and loading facilities be provided and maintained for a purpose
permitted by the by-law; and,
-
Prohibiting 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;
MUNICIPALITY OF WAWA ZONING BY-LAW

Adopted by By-law 2821-15 on June 2, 2015
§
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 most 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 "R1" associated with your
property. This would indicate that your property is within the 'Residential One Zone'. The zone
symbols or abbreviations are explained in Section 2 of the by-law.
Section 2 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 2.4 of the by-law.
2.
By-law Amendments
Zoning by-laws are amended over time as policies governing land use change and/or individuals
amend the By-law to establish site-specific provisions or use permissions. As a result, the reader
should verify that the property of interest has not been the subject of an earlier zoning by-law
amendment. Some of these amendments are listed in Section 8 of this by-law. More recent
amendments may not be included in the version of the by-law you are using. Staff will be able to
assist you to confirm if your property has been subject to a more recent zoning by-law
amendment.
3.
Permitted Uses
The next step to using this by-law is to determine what uses are permitted on your property.
Section 6.0 of the by-law identifies the permitted uses for each zone in the Municipality. The
definitions in Section 3.0 can assist you if you are not sure of the nature of a use or how it has
been defined for the purposes of this by-law. Uses that are not identified as permitted uses within
a particular zone are not permitted in that zone.

Adopted by By-law 2821-15 on June 2, 2015
4.
Zone Standards
Steps 1 and 2 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 7.0 of the by-law identifies the zone standards for
each zone in the municipality. This section will provide standards for minimum lot area, minimum
frontage requirements, minimum yard requirements, maximum lot coverage for buildings, and the
maximum permitted height of buildings.
5.
General Provisions
Now that your are aware of the uses permitted on your property and the specific zone standards
that apply to those uses, reference should be made to Section 4.0 of this by-law. Section 4.0
contains a more generic 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 construction of accessory structures, height exceptions and non-
conforming/non-complying uses that apply to all properties regardless of where in the municipality
a property is located.
6.
Parking and Loading
Section 5.0 provides the parking and loading requirements for all permitted uses 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 5.0 to ensure that you are aware of the parking
requirements for the proposed use.
DESCRIPTION OF BY-LAW COMPONENTS
This By-law contains nine sections that together, provide the standards applicable to all lands
within the municipality. These sections are listed below and are described on the following
pages:
Section 1 - Interpretation and Administration
Section 2 - Establishment of Zones
Section 3 - Definitions
Section 4 - General Provisions
Section 5 - Parking and Loading
Section 6 - Permitted Uses
Section 7 - Zone Standards
Section 8 - Exceptions
Section 9 - Enactment
MUNICIPALITY OF WAWA ZONING BY-LAW
4
Adopted by By-law 2821-15 on June 2, 2015
SECTION 1.0 - INTERPRETATION AND ADMINISTRATION
This section of the By-law specifies:
-
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; and,
-
what penalties can be levied against a person or a corporation if they contravene any
provision in the by-law.
SECTION 2.0 - 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 3.0 - 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.
SECTION 4.0 - 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.
SECTION 5.0 - 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 all uses, minimum driveway width, minimum parking space size and the location of
parking facilities on a lot.
SECTION 6.0 - PERMITTED USES
This section lists the uses that are permitted in each zone. 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 3.0 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.

Adopted by By-law 2821-15 on June 2, 2015
SECTION 7.0 - ZONE STANDARDS
This section contains 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, setbacks from property lines or the maximum coverage of a building on
a lot.
SECTION 8.0 - EXCEPTIONS
This section contains regulations that are specific to one property or a group of properties in the
Municipality. For example, the minimum front yard in a zone is 8.0 metres. The required front
yard may be reduced to a lesser number if deemed appropriate and the mechanism to
accomplish this reduction is by amending the By-law and excepting the property from the general
standard. Exceptions to this by-law are provided in a consolidated list in Section 8. Exceptions
are denoted on the schedules by an asterisk as well as a number following the zone abbreviation
(e.g. RU*1). The number is a reference to find the specific exception in Section 8.
SECTION 9.0 - 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.
