FAQ - What is a Zoning Bylaw?

In order to avoid land use conflicts, a Zoning Bylaw says what uses can go where in the Village (eg. commercial, residential, industrial uses) and sets out other standards for: lot sizes, water and sewer servicing, parking, landscaping, fences, docks, building in a flood zone and more.  A Zoning Bylaw is sort of like a “play book” and prevents personal opinion and random reasoning in the development review process.
