Organization of the Village of Lipton's Zoning Bylaw
The following is intended for information only and does not form part of the Village of Lipton Zoning
Bylaw.
The Zoning Bylaw establishes regulations for the use of land and buildings in the Village of Lipton. It
regulates the type, location, and intensity of land use and buildings, and outlines the process for
rezoning land and applying for permits to develop property.
The Zoning Bylaw reflects only municipal regulation and policy, including the Village's Official
Community Plan (OCP). Other bylaws, regulations, and Acts of the Village, Province of Saskatchewan,
and Canada must also be observed.
This Bylaw is organized into nine (9) sections which group related information.
Section 1.0 contains basic information on the legal framework of the Bylaw and this guide on how to
use the Bylaw.
Section 2.0 contains administrative information regarding the enforcement of the Bylaw,
amendment procedures, and permitting procedures.
Section 3.0 contains general regulations for all uses and development types. These regulations
supplement those found in the specific Zoning Districts.
Section 4.0 contains specific land use requirements, development standards and conditions of
approval for permitted and discretionary uses in all Zoning Districts.
Section 5.0 establishes the zones that apply to the lands covered in this bylaw. This section also
describes how to distinguish the Zoning District boundaries.
Sections 6.0 - 9.0 contains a list of permitted and discretionary land uses and specific development
standards for each Zoning District. This includes standards such as minimum lot size, minimum
frontage, maximum building height, minimum setbacks distances, etc.
Appendix A is a glossary of definitions providing clarification on important terms found within the
Bylaw.

How to Determine Zoning and Regulations for a Specific Site
The following steps will help users understand how to identify the proper zoning district for a specific
piece of land, what land uses are permitted on that site, and the regulations to guide development
within the site.
1. To determine the Zoning District of a specific site, the user must first find that site on the
attached Zoning Map. It will be helpful to know the legal land description when reviewing the
Zoning Map. All land within the Village will fall within a colour coded Zoning District, and
potentially overlay districts. A legend within the Zoning Map will associate each colour with
the appropriate Zoning District.
2. Each Zoning District will have its own Section in the Zoning Bylaw. Look up the corresponding
Zoning District. The district will identify in a list, permitted land uses, as well as uses permitted
at the discretion of council and subject to the Discretionary Use application procedures
identified in Section 2.0.
3. Each Zoning District will also have a table identifying the development standards (minimum
site areas, building setbacks, etc.) for each permitted and discretionary land use. These
standards will help guide development within the lot or parcel.
4. The land use may have specific requirements contained in the Section 3.0 - General
Regulations and Section 4.0 - Distinct Land Use Requirements and Development Standards.
5. Finally, all proposed development and zoning questions should be discussed with staff from
the Village.
If you require assistance with the regulations or processes contained within the Zoning Bylaw, please
call or visit the Village office. The up-to-date version of the Zoning Bylaw and amendments is located
in the Village's office.
