Why is a Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review important?
The municipality’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law sets out rules for how land is used and developed. The Comprehensive Zoning By-law should be reviewed if you are interested in understanding what is permitted for development and how development may take place on your property and implications for development of your property, such as:
- Constructing a new home or building
- Building an addition, such as an extension to a house or attached garage, or an accessory structure like a detached garage, shed, or gazebo
- Adding a porch or deck
- Adding an additional dwelling unit or units
- Changing the use of your property (i.e., commercial to residential)
- Severing a portion of your property
The final draft of the Comprehensive Zoning By-law and the maps are available for review on the municipality’s public engagement platform, Have Your Say.
General questions or comments can also be submitted to Michael Michaud, Manager of Planning, County of Prince Edward, at mmichaud@pecounty.on.ca.
