Zoning By-law

Please be advised that new Zoning By-law 22-075 was approved on October 12, 2022. The Township has received five appeals on the new By-law, therefore, until the appeals have been disposed of, both new Zoning By-law 22-075 and previous Zoning By-law 06-001, as amended, are to be considered when assessing all planning and building applications and the most restrictive regulation shall apply. Please contact the Township Planning Department with any questions.

The Zoning By-law is the Township’s primary tool to regulate the use of land in the municipality. The Zoning By-law divides all land in the Township into various zone categories (e.g., residential, agricultural, commercial, industrial) and establishes what uses are permitted and identifies standards to direct the location, massing and height of buildings and structures on a lot.  The Zoning By-law must, in accordance with the Planning Act, conform to the Township’s Official Plan.
