FAQ - Why Was My Property Rezoned During the Zoning Bylaw Review?

The majority of properties within Buffalo Narrows maintained their existing zoning standards. There were a few properties that were subject to rezoning between the 2006 Zoning Bylaw and the new Zoning Bylaw. The Village is required to notify any landowners whose property was significantly changed by zoning, so if you did not receive this notice, your property should not have any major differences.
​
There were two main reasons that properties changed zoning designations from the previous zoning bylaw:
  1. The site was checked by the planning team and it was determined that the current zoning did not fit what was actually on site, and the zoning was changed to reflect what was on site.
  2. Your property was located across Sawmill Bay from the core of the community, and the reasoning for that is noted in the next question. 

The Village will only make changes to the zoning designation of a property when they feel it is necessary, whether it is to fit what is on the site already, or if there are concerns with public safety. If this happens, the Village is required to notify the property owner prior to the change being approved. You are free to provide any comment that you wish to the Village when they are reviewing the change, and those comments go on record. When the Minister of Government Relations reviews the bylaw before giving final approval, consideration is given to comments that came from the public. If the Minister isn’t satisfied with the reasoning for the zoning change, then it won’t be approved.
