  3. Purpose of Zoning By-law • To implement the policies of the Official Plan. • To prescribe how land may be used, where buildings and other structures can be located, the types of buildings that are permitted. • Defines ‘right of use’.

  4. Zoning By-law Approach • The Zoning By-law is a permissive document. • Existing uses, buildings and structures are “grandfathered” • Determined permitted uses based on existing uses. • Permitted uses are sometimes categorical in nature which provides flexibility. • The Zoning By-law can be amended to reflect changing trends.
