Zoning Information

The Township's Comprehensive Zoning By-law 13-21, as amended, is the tool that implements the Official Plan and specifies rules for land use that the municipality uses to monitor a specific property's use. To use land or to build on it, it must be permitted by the Zoning By-law. The Zoning By-law provides designations ("zones") that outline:

• Permitted Uses in the Zone, which lists how the lands can be used and provides definitions related to these uses.

• Zone Requirements, which outline minimum lot size, frontage, and setbacks from front, rear, and side lot lines and prescribe maximum heights permitted and the extent to which a lot can be developed.

• General Provisions and Definitions, which outline numerous other requirements for matters such as parking area regulations, driveways, setback to lot lines, driveway widths, home-based business rules, etc.

This parcel mapping is displayed to help identify properties and give a general sense of where lot lines are positioned. Do not rely on this mapping as a true and accurate indication of where property lines are located.
