THE PURPOSE OF THIS BY-LAW AND HOW IT SHOULD BE USED INTRODUCTION These pages explain the purpose of this zoning by-law and how it should be used. In addition, these pages also explain what happens if the By-law is not compiled with, when the by-law comes into effect and discusses issues relating to non-conforming uses and non-complying buildings and structures. These pages do not form part of the zoning by-law passed by Council and are intended only to make the zoning by-law more understandable and easier to reference. PURPOSE OF THIS ZONING BY-LAW The purpose of this zoning by-law is to implement the policies of the Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan. The official Plan contains general policies that affect the use of land throughout the Township. These policies specify where certain land uses are permitted and, in some instances, specify what regulations are to apply to the development of certain lands. The Official Plan is a general document that is not intended to regulate every aspect of the built-form on a private lot. In the Province of Ontario, this is the role of the zoning by-law. Once an Official Plan is in effect, any Zoning Bylaw passed by Council must conform to the Official Plan. For example, if the Official Plan stated that lands in the vicinity of a significant natural feature are to remain in their natural state, the zoning by-law would prohibit the erection of buildings or structures on those lands. The statutory authority to zone land is granted by the Planning Act, R.S.0 1990 cP. 13. Section 34 of the Planning Act specifies what a by-law passed under this Section can regulate. A zoning by-law can: a) prohibit the use of land or buildings by any use that is not specifically permitted by the by-law; b) prohibit the erection or siting of buildings and structures on a lot except in locations permitted by the by-law; c) regulate the type of construction and the height, bulk, location, size, floor area, spacing, character and use of buildings or structures; d) regulate the minimum frontage and depth of a parcel of land; e) regulate the proportion of a lot that any building or structure may occupy; f) regulate the minimum elevation of doors, windows or other openings in buildings or structures or in any class or classes of buildings or structures; g) require the owners or occupants of buildings or structures to be erected or used for a purpose permitted by the by-law to provide and maintain loading or parking facilities; and, h) prohibit the use of lands and the erection of a class or classes of buildings or structures on land that is: 2
- subject to flooding; - the site of steep slopes; - rocky, low-lying, marshy or unstable; - contaminated; - a sensitive groundwater recharge area or head water area; - the location of a sensitive aquifer; - a significant wildlife habitat area, wetland, woodland, ravine, valley or area of natural and scientific interest; - a significant corridor or shoreline of a lake, river or stream; and, - the site of a significant archaeological resource. HOW TO USE THIS BY-LAW The following six steps describe what a property owner should do to determine what can be done with a property. 1 Every property owner should first find the map, which in this by-law is called a schedule, that applies to their property, locate their property and determine what Zone their property is in. The maps for this by-law are found immediately following Section 8.0 of this by-law. 2. The property owner should then verify whether the lands are subject to an amendment to the Zoning By-law. Such an amendment may not be incorporated in the version of the by-law referenced by the property owner. 3. Reference should then be made to Section 3.0 - Permitted Uses to determine what uses are permitted in that Zone. All of the uses in the Permitted Uses table are also defined in Section 6.0 of the by-law. 4. Once the permitted use is known, reference should then be made to Section 4.0 - Zone Standards to determine what standards apply to any buildings or structures associated with the permitted use on the lot. The Zone Standards are also contained on tables and the majority of these standards are also defined in Section 6.0 of this by-law. 5. After determining what standards may apply to a permitted use on the property, reference should then be made to the General Provisions section of the by-law to determine what provisions in that section may apply to the property. 6. The drawings provided in an appendix to the by-law should then be referenced to assist the reader in interpreting the by-law. The appendices are solely for illustration purposes only and do not form part of the bylaw. 7. The property owner should also make himself aware that regulations of other government agencies may have an impact on the development of a property. These agencies include: l l The County of Simcoe, who have regulations regarding the siting of buildings and structures, and driveways on lands that abut a County Road; The Ministry of Transportation, who have regulations regarding the siting of buildings and structures and entrances on lands that abut or are near a Provincial Highway; and, 3
