USER'S GUIDE TO THE TOWNSHIP OF WELLINGTON NORTH
ZONING BY-LAW
Purpose of a Zoning By-law
A comprehensive zoning by-law is a precise legal document used by a municipality to regulate
the use of land and the buildings upon it. It states exactly what type of land uses are permitted
in a specific area or zone and provides the requirements or regulations that apply to such land.
Under Ontario's Planning Act, local municipalities can establish zoning by-laws to control the use
of land and future development of their community. Zoning By-laws also protect property owners
from the development of conflicting land uses. As such, any use of land or the construction or
use of any building or structure not in compliance with the local Zoning By-law is prohibited. The
Township of Wellington North Zoning By-law is also needed to help the community implement
the goals and objectives of the Wellington County Official Plan, which became effective May 6,
1999.
How to Use the By-law
For each zone, there is a list of permitted uses and a number of regulations such as lot size,
frontage, and required yards. The location of each of the zones is shown on the Schedules (Zone
Maps) which are found at the end of this By-law. The specific uses and regulations applicable to
each zone are found in the relevant section(s) of the Zoning By-law, which bears the same zone
name(s).
To determine the provisions of the Zoning By-law that affect your property, follow these steps:
1.
Locate your property on one of the Schedule "A" (the Zone Maps) to find the applicable
zone(s) that apply to your property (e.g. Residential R1A Zone).
2.
Once you have identified the zone(s), turn to the Table of Contents within the text of the
By-law and locate the applicable zone provisions (For example, the R1A Zone is found
under Section 9 on page 62.) Then go to the appropriate page in the By-law to determine
the permitted uses and specific regulations that relate to that zone.
3.
Review the general provisions (e.g. parking, accessory uses, etc.) contained under Section
6. The provisions contained in Section 6 apply to all land within the municipality and many
will affect your property.
4.
Section 5 - Definitions are useful when trying to understand the meaning of terminology
used throughout the Zoning By-law.
Should you have difficulty reading the Schedules or understanding the text of this document,
contact the Municipal Office at (519) 848-3620 for assistance.

THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF WELLINGTON NORTH
BY-LAW NUMBER
BEING A BY-LAW, UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 34 OF THE PLANNING ACT, R.S.O. 1990,
AS AMENDED, TO RESTRICT THE USE OF LANDS AND THE CHARACTER, LOCATION AND USE OF
BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES, AND TO PROHIBIT CERTAIN BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES IN
VARIOUS DEFINED AREAS OF THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF WELLINGTON NORTH.
WHEREAS The Planning Act provides that the Council of a Municipal Corporation may pass By-
laws to restrict the use of lands and the character, location and use of buildings or structures.
NOW THEREFORE the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Wellington North enacts as
follows:
SECTION 1 - TITLE OF BY-LAW
1.1
This By-law may be cited as the Zoning By-law of the Township of Wellington North.
SECTION 2 - INTERPRETATION
2.1
In this By-law, unless the context clearly indicates the contrary, the expression "use" or
"to use" shall include anything done or permitted by the owner or occupant of any land,
building or structure, directly or indirectly or by or through any trustee, tenant, servant,
or agent, acting with the knowledge or consent of such owner or occupant, for the
purpose of making use of the said land, building or structure.
2.2
In this By-law, unless the context clearly indicates the contrary:
-
Words in the present tense include the future;
-
Words in the singular number include the plural, and the converse; and
-
Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine, and the converse.
2.3
In this By-law, the word "shall" is construed as always mandatory.
2.4
The word "use", when used as a noun, shall mean the purpose for which a lot or a building
or structure or any combination thereof is designated, arranged, intended, occupied, or
maintained and "uses" shall have a corresponding meaning. When used as a verb, the
word "use" or "to use" shall have a corresponding meaning.
Uses not listed as permitted in a zone or otherwise provided for in this By-law shall be
prohibited in such zone except as provided for under Section 6.21 (Non-conforming uses)
of this By-law.
28
Wellington North Comprehensive Zoning By-law 66-01
December 2001 (May 2026 Consolidation)
2.5
In the regulations, dimensions are provided in both metric and imperial to make the By-
law more "user-friendly". Where a significant difference is present between the two
values for any regulations, as a result of a numerical conversion, the least restrictive
dimension shall prevail. In this By-law, m2 shall be construed to mean square metres and
ft2 shall be construed to mean square feet unless the context clearly indicates the
contrary.
2.6
The Natural Environment (NE) zone boundaries identified on the schedules to this By-law
are intended to generally identify the location of potentially hazardous environmental
features. During review of development applications and building permit applications, if
necessary, the boundaries of the NE zone shall be more precisely determined in
consultation with the Conservation Authority or other agencies having jurisdiction in the
area. Where detailed resource mapping and/or site inspection results in a re-
interpretation of the limits of the NE zone boundary, all requirements of this by-law shall
be reviewed relative to the revised interpretation of the NE Zone boundary, including any
applicable setbacks.
SECTION 3 - APPLICATION OF THE BY-LAW
3.1
LAND SUBJECT TO BY-LAW
The provisions of this By-law shall apply to all land within the boundaries of the
Corporation of the Township of Wellington North.
3.2
CONFORMITY REQUIREMENTS
3.2.1 No person shall use any land, or construct, alter or use any building or structure
or part thereof within the limits of the Township of Wellington North except in
conformity with the provisions of this By-law.
3.2.2 No building, structure, or part thereof constructed or altered in contravention of
this By-law shall be used by any person so long as such building, structure, or part
thereof, continues to contravene the provisions of this By-law.
3.2.3 No lot shall be reduced in area by conveyance, severance, mortgage or other
alienation of a part thereof so that any remaining yard or other open space is less
than required by this By-law. If any such reduction occurs, such lot and any
building or structure thereon shall not thereafter be used by any person unless
and until the said yard or requirements of this By-law are complied with.
3.2.4 Subsection 3.2.3 shall not apply to a lot reduced in area by the conveyance to or
severance or expropriation by the Corporation of the Township of Wellington
North or any other authority having the powers of expropriation.
29
Wellington North Comprehensive Zoning By-law 66-01
December 2001 (May 2026 Consolidation)
3.2.5 No person shall change the purpose for which any lot, building or structure is used,
or construct, alter, or use any building or structure, or sever any lands from any
existing lot, if the effect of such action is to cause the original, remaining or new
building, structure or lot to be in contravention of this By-law.
3.3
APPLICATION OF OTHER BY-LAWS AND REGULATIONS
Nothing in this By-law shall relieve any person from the obligation to comply with the
requirements of the Ontario Building Code Act or any other By-law of the Municipality or
County in force from time to time or the obligation to obtain any license, permit, or
approval lawfully required under any regulation or By-law of the Municipality, County or
by a governmental authority having jurisdiction to make such restrictions.
3.4
CONFLICTS WITH OTHER MUNICIPAL BY-LAWS
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this By-law and any other By-law of
the Corporation, the provisions of this By-law shall prevail.
3.5
CONFLICTING REGULATIONS
Where a combination of permitted uses results in conflicting regulations, the most
restrictive regulations shall apply.
SECTION 4 - ADMINISTRATION, ENFORCEMENT AND PENALTIES
4.1
ADMINISTRATION
Unless otherwise specified, this By-law shall be administered by the Chief Building Official
and/or Building Inspector and/or their designate, acting on the direction of the Council of
the Township of Wellington North.
4.2
BUILDING AND OTHER PERMITS
4.2.1 Notwithstanding the provisions of any other by-laws of the Township of
Wellington North, the Chief Building Official shall not issue any Building Permit or
any other permit where the proposed building or any part thereof, use or
occupancy would be in violation of any provisions of this By-law.
4.2.2 It shall be prohibited for any person(s) to use or permit to use or cause a change
in use of any building or part thereof, hereafter erected or altered until such
Building Permit or Change of Use Permit has been issued and certified by the Chief
Building Official in accordance with the Ontario Building Code Act and Building By-
law.

b)
This By-law shall not apply to prevent the construction or use of any building or
structure for a purpose prohibited by this By-law, the plans for which have prior

of a rezoning or consent application, the provisions of Section 6.22 shall continue
to apply such that said building or structure shall be deemed to comply with any
applicable zoning provisions resulting from such rezoning or severance provided
said rezoning or consent does not further reduce the non-compliance of the use,
building or structure with any provision of said by-law, The provisions of this
Section shall not exempt a new use from providing the required number of parking
spaces or from satisfying the sight triangle requirements of Section 6.7.
