Land Use Bylaw Amendment Application Process

The Land Use Bylaw is the “rule book” for the use and development of land and buildings within the town. It regulates what types of use are allowed, how development is to be done, and when development can occur for each property. The rules include general requirements that apply to all properties and specific rules that are described in “zones” and assigned to different properties throughout the town.

A Land Use Bylaw amendment is the process to change the “zone” assigned to a property or the text of one or more regulations. An application to amend the Land Use Bylaw is required if you wish to develop a site in a manner that is not described in or does not match the current zoning and regulations.

Find out about building an accessory building, such as a shed or detached garage, on your property in the Accessory Buildings or Structures in Residential Zoned Areas Information Bulletin.
