Bradley Knight Clerk-Treasurer TOWNSHIP OF GREY RR 3, BRUSSELS, ONT. NOG 1 HO (519)887-6268 PURPOSE AND EFFECT: This by-law is a general review and update of zoning by-law 12-1985 for the Township of Grey. Specifically, this amendment contains the following changes: 1. Every occurrence of “Pits and Quarries Control Act” is replaced with “Aggregate Resources Act” to reference the new Act. 2. The “Height” definition is changed to refer to the “Building Height” definition such that there is only one definition for building height. 3. A provision Is added to allow a driveway abutting the streetline for parking for resi­ dential units with individual private driveways. 4. The provision relating to Dangerous Uses Is replaced with a more clear provision to prohibit the storage or use of dangerous substances (e.g. petroleum, dynamite, etc.) except where such storage or use is duly licensed. 5. A general provision Is added to allow for a building to be established straddling a lot line where the two lots are owned and being developed by the same person. Yards, setbacks, and other provisions shall be calculated for the lots as a whole (l.e. as if the two lots were only one lot). Where two lots are developed as one parcel, but the building will be established In its entirety on only one of the lots, the lots must be deemed (which makes them join) or an appropriate minor variance must be granted. This provision avoids the selling of the vacant lot where that lot is required for yards, setbacks, and other zoning provisions applicable to the building on the adjacent lot. 6. A general provision is added to restrict buildings from being established within 500 metres of the Township's landfill site (Lot 4 and 5, Concession 18) until a qualified professional has determined to the satisfaction of the Township and the Ministry ol the Environment that the site does not have any adverse impacts on the surrounding properties in terms of noise, dust, odour, litter, the movements of liquids off of the site, and the release of methane. 7. “Hobby farm" replaces “agricultural use” in the list of permitted uses in an AG4 zone. This change limits animal operations on AG4 properties to non-intensive agricultural uses for recreational or personal purposes. 8. A provision is added to the Natural Environment (NE4) zone to note that proposed structures must be in compliance with the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority's fill and construction regulations and with the County Tree Cutting By-law. 9. A provision Is added to the Extractive Resource (ER1) zone to permit the exploration, drilling for and production of oil and natural gas in this zone. 10. Following the rehabilitation of a gravel pit, a residence is not permitted unless it is accessory to an agricultural use on the same lot. Any proposed residence not accessory to agriculture would require a rezoning prior to its establishment. 11. The minimum lot area in the Village Residential zone for the Graham Survey is reduced to 4,000 square meters from 6,070.5 square metres. 12. The Village Residential (VR1) zone contains reduced zone regulations (e.g. lot area) where the lots are serviced by municipal water systems because the lots would not require both a well and a septic system. However, the Health Unit advises that the standard provisions should apply to provide for a spare area for a future replacement of the septic system. Also, water consumption often Increases where municipal water is available, placing additional load on the septic system. Therefore, the reduced provisions are deleted. 13. Existing undeveloped lots are exempted from the standard lot area, lot depth, and lot frontage requirements provided they have a minimum lot frontage of 18 metres and a minimum lot area of 1,000 square metres. 14. Same as number 12 (above) except applies to the Village Commercial (VC1) zone. 15. The Minimum Distance Separation factor of 1.5 for estate development rezonings is deleted because the doubling of the calculated distance is required by the appropriate by-law provisions (e.g. AG4). 16. A provision is added to zone those lands that are flood-prone as Flood Plain as set out in Schedule “B” Flood Prone Lands. These flood prone lands have the same permitted uses as those found in the underlying land use zone shown on Schedule “A". The placing or removal of fill in the area zoned as flood-prone lands is subject to the approval of the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority. The construction of permitted buildings and structures In the area zoned as flood-prone lands Is subject to flood damage reduction measures as determined by the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority. 17. Schedule “B” Flood-Prone Lands Is added to show those lands which have been zoned as flood-prone lands. A copy of this map is available at the Township Clerk’s office. 18. All references to the former Tree Cutting By-law No. 67 of 1979 are updated to reference By-law No. 23 of 1986. 19. A correction Is made to the AG4-1 zone on Part Lot 67, Con. 1 (Key Map 7) to include the entire parcel. Section 7.7.1 of the by-law is amended to change the word “shall” to “may” such that the lot “may be used for a residence and a small home appliance sales and service use." 20. Key Map 21 Is amended to rezone a 1.8 acre parcel In the northeast corner of Lot 35, Con. 8 from AG1 to AG4 to correct an oversight in the original zoning by-law. 21. Key May 36 Is amended to correctly zone the Township landfill site on Lots 4 & 5, Con. 18. 22. The lot depth requirement In the VR1-7 zone (two lots In Ethel) Is reduced from 35 metres to 34 metres such that the lots comply with the actual lot depth as determined by a recent survey provided by the owners. The VR1-7 zone was originally established by rezonlng by-law 11-1990. 23. The reference number of the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority fill and construction regulations Is updated from 313/84, R.S.O. to 22/91 R.S.O. 24. This by-law amends zoning by-law 12-1985. As a general amendment to the comprehensive zoning by-law, this by-law affects all lands within the Township of Grey.
