PREAMBLE
These pages explain the purpose of this Zoning By-law and how it should be used. 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.
The purpose of this Zoning By-law is to implement the policies of the City of Greater Sudbury Official Plan. The Official Plan contains general policies that affect the use of land throughout the Municipality. These policies specify where certain land uses are permitted and, in some instances, specify what regulations should 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 By-law 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.O. 1990, c.P.13, as amended. The Planning Act specifies what a By-law can regulate. A Zoning By-law can:
- Prohibit the use of land or buildings for any use that is not specifically permitted by the By-law;
- Prohibit the erection or siting of buildings and structures on a lot except in locations permitted by the By-law;
- Regulate the type of construction and the height, bulk, location, size, floor area, spacing, and use of buildings or structures;
- Regulate the minimum frontage and depth of a parcel of land;
- Regulate the proportion of a lot that any building or structure may occupy;
- Regulate the minimum elevation of doors, windows or other openings in buildings or structures;
- Require parking and loading facilities be provided and maintained for a purpose permitted by the By-law; and,
- Prohibit the use of lands and the erection of buildings or structures on land that is:
- 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; or,
- The site of a significant archaeological resource.
In order to reference this By-law easily, a property owner should follow each of the steps listed below to determine what permissions apply to their particular property.
1. Locate the Property on a Map
Maps in a Zoning By-law are called 'Schedules'. The first step to using this By-law is to refer to the zone schedules to determine in which zone category your property is located. Schedule ‘A’ is the main Zoning Map. It is comprised as a series of smaller maps. The key maps show the lands covered by the individual maps. The zone category will be indicated on the schedules by a symbol or abbreviation. For example, you may see the symbol “R1-5” beside your property. This would indicate that your property is within the “Low Density Residential One” Zone. The zone symbols or abbreviations are explained on the first page of Part 2 of the By-law.
In any circumstance, you should confirm your findings with a Planner or Zoning Officer in the Planning Services or Building Services Divisions.
Part 2 also provides assistance to help you identify the zone boundaries on the Schedules. For example, if your property appears close to a zone boundary and you are not sure how to determine exactly where that boundary is located, refer to Section 2.4 of the By-law.
2. Zone Provisions
The next step to using this By-law is to determine what uses are permitted on your property. Each Zone Section in the By-law has two primary parts: Permitted Uses and Zone Regulations. Parts 6 through 10 of the By-law identify the permitted uses and zone requirements for each zone in the Municipality. Zone Standards include minimum lot area, minimum frontage requirements, minimum yard requirements, maximum lot coverage for buildings, maximum permitted height of buildings and, in some cases, the minimum required landscaped open space on the lot. Special Provisions that may affect the use of the property or the standards applicable to uses, buildings and structures are shown at the bottom of the respective use and standards tables in Parts 6 through 10.
3. Definitions
The definitions in Part 3 can assist you if you are not sure of the nature of a permitted use or how it has been defined for the purposes of this By-law. Uses that are not identified as permitted uses within a particular zone are not allowed to be established in that zone. The Planning Act requires that zoning by-laws prohibit all uses except as may be specifically permitted. If a use is not listed as a permitted use it is not permitted.
4. General Provisions
Now that you are aware of the uses permitted on your property and the specific zone requirements that apply to those uses, reference should be made to Part 4 of this By-law. Part 4 contains a more general set of standards know as 'General Provisions' that apply to all properties in all zones throughout the City, unless specifically noted otherwise. For example, the general provisions contain standards that regulate height exceptions and non-conforming or non-complying uses that apply to all properties regardless of what zone the property is located within.
5. Parking and Loading
Part 5 provides the parking and loading requirements for all uses permitted in the Municipality. If you are considering changing the use of your property or adding a new use to your property, you should review Part 5 to ensure that you are aware of the parking requirements for the proposed use.
6. Exceptions, Holding Zones and Temporary Uses
By-laws are not static documents and lands may be subject to a zone exception, a holding zone, or a temporary use. If a zone symbol on the maps is followed by a number enclosed by brackets, such as C1(5), the lands are subject to a site-specific exception. These can be found in Part 11.
If the zone symbol is preceded by a “T” and a number or by an “H” and a number, the lands are subject to a Temporary Use By-law or a Holding Provision, the provisions of which can be found in Parts 12 and 13. Note that both processes are subject to separate Planning Act processes; Section 39 for Temporary Use By-laws and Section 36 for Holding Provisions.
7. What are Legal Non-Conforming and Legal Non-Complying For The Purposes Of This By-law?
A legal non-conforming use is a use of land and/or building that legally existed on the date By-law 2010-100Z came into effect under the Planning Act. To be legal, the use must have been permitted on the lands in accordance with the previous Zoning By-laws for the Municipality.
A legal non-complying lot, building or structure is a lot, building or structure that was legally created or erected in a location it was in when Zoning By-law 2010-100Z came into effect under the Planning Act. To be legal, the lot or location of the building or structure must have been authorized on the lands in accordance with the Municipality’s previous Zoning By-laws. Alternatively, if the lot, building or structure existed on the lands for a considerable number of years, the building or structure may be legal if it was legally created or erected before the first Zoning By-law for the City of Sudbury or the first Zoning By-law for the former municipality or unorganized township was passed.
8. By-law Amendments
A Zoning By-law is not a static document; it is amended over time as demands and policies governing land use change. Before proceeding any further, you should verify that your property is not the subject of an earlier Zoning By-law amendment. While the City strives to keep this By-law up-to-date, more recent amendments may not be included in the version of the By-law you are using. Staff in the Planning Services Division will be able to assist you to confirm if your property has been subject to a more recent By-law amendment.
