What is a Zoning By-law?

A Zoning By-law is an implementation tool for the Official Plan. Using a series of land use zones and labels, it generally spells out:

  • How land and buildings may be used
  • Where buildings and other structures may be located
  • What restrictions may be related to the development of a specific property

A Zoning By-law is a legally enforceable document intended to regulate land use and future development. Significant changes to land uses or zone regulations require a Zoning By-law Amendment and possibly an Official Plan Amendment. Small, technical adjustments to By-law provisions may be accommodated by a Minor Variance.

As Zoning By-law Amendment Applications are received and passed, the Township strives to keep the mapping as up-to-date as possible. To ensure proper zoning and permitted uses, please confirm zoning with the Township planning staff.
