OF PASSING
'ter OF A ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT
BY THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BLUEWATER
TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bluewater passed By-law No. 63-2016 on the 6th day of June, 2016, under Section
34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended.
AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or agency may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board in respect to the By-law by filing with the Clerk of the Municipality
of Bluewater, not later than the 6th day of July, 2016, at 4pm, a notice of appeal setting out the objection, accompanied by payment of the fee prescribed under
the Ontario Municipal Act.
Amount of fee payable on appeal is $125.00 with a cheque made payable to the "Minister of Finance".
Only individuals, corporations and public bodies may appeal a zoning by-law to the Ontario Municipal Board. A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unin-
corporated association or group however, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its
behalf.
An explanation of the purpose and effect of the by-law, describing the lands to which the by-law applies is provided below and a Key Map showing the locations
of affected lands is attached. The complete by-law is available for inspection at the municipal office (14 Mill Street, Zurich) during office hours.
DATED AT THE MUNICIPALITY OF BLUEWATER THIS 10th DAY OF June, 2016.
Clerk, Municipality of Bluewater
14 Mill Street, Box 250, Zurich, Ontario
NOM 2T0 (519) 236-4351
PURPOSE AND EFFECT:
The proposed Housekeeping Zoning By-law Amendment to Bluewater Zoning By-law 43-2015 would affect all lands within the Municipality of the Bluewater as
it includes text amendments. It also contains two site-specific amendments which are noted on the included maps. The purpose of the proposed zoning by-law
amendment is to enhance the clarity of certain provisions within the Zoning By-law and to modify provisions which are not producing the intended outcomes.
This by-law proposes the following changes:
1. To restore the zoning to the properties which front onto Hill Terrace in
Bayfield which permits the lots to be exempt from the requirement to front
on a street and reduces the top of bank setback. The special zoning on
these properties was unintentionally deleted during the Zoning By-law
consolidation process. See related map.
2. To clarify that lots located at the south east end of the Hensall Settlement
Area (located along the Highway 4 corridor) can continue to develop on
private septic systems and are not required to connect to municipal
sanitary services. The requirement for full services was inadvertently
applied to this area. See related map.
3. To include driveways under the legal non -complying section.
4. To clarify the definition of attached for the purposes of application to
accessory buildings.
5. Clarify that the General Agriculture Zone (AG1) permits one single
detached dwelling which is either accessory to an agricultural use or on a
property greater than 38 ha.
6. To remove the reference to zones within the definitions of 'front yard' and
'rear yard'. This clarifies where the yard extends to and from.
7. To clarify that for properties abutting Lake Huron, the 'front property line' is
deemed to be the lake side of the property.
8. To clarify that the 'Residential Dispersion Measurement' provision applies
only in the Bayfield Settlement Area with the exception of the R2-1 zone.
This provision was inadvertently applied to all areas of the municipality in
the new Zoning By-law.
9. To clarify that semi-detached dwellings do not have to be separated by a
wall of masonry construction as per the Ontario Building Code.
10. To clarify that new driveways are required to meet the setback to an
intersection. This ensures that driveways do not encroach on the sightlines
of intersections.
11. To clarify within the definition of 'Zone Coverage' that awnings are not
included but that balconies are included.
12. To permit larger accessory buildings within settlement areas.
13. To permit plumbing in buildings and structures accessory to a dwelling in
limited situations.
14. To treat closed and inactive cemeteries as a Type A land use under the
Minimum Distance Separation (MDS) Formula. A Type A land use requires
a shorter set back distance than a Type B land use which is what
cemeteries are typically considered.

To delete the 'Multiple Lots' provision as it is no longer considered
appropriate.
To add a parking space requirement for a personal services shop.
To clarify that for multiple attached dwellings, a setback between the
driveway and interior side yard property line is not required.
To permit additional entrances (driveways) to a property to be approved
through the municipal entrance permit approval process without
amendment to the Zoning By-law.
To remove the requirement for buildings and structures to be setback from
an easement in the following zones: R4 (Residential Park Zone), RC2
(Trailer & Tent Park Zone), RC3 (Recreational Commercial Zone) and AG1
(General Agriculture Zone).
To remove 'dwelling unit' as a permitted use in the Core Commercial (C4)
zone within the Bayfield Settlement Area. This is proposed as a temporary
removal until such time that additional servicing capacity becomes
available.
To add a provision which permits a single accessory building below the top
of bank on lakefront properties provided the building maintains a maximum
size and height and obtain approval of relevant approval authorities.
To remove 'second unit' as a permitted accessory use in the R1
(Residential Low Density) zone within the Bayfield Settlement Area. This
is proposed as a temporary removal until such time that additional
servicing capacity becomes available.
To clarify in the R1 (Residential Low Density) zone that for properties
which abut Lake Huron, the lakeside shall be deemed to be the front yard.
To clarify that for semi-detached dwellings, the minimum lot areas stated in
the Zoning By-law are 'per unit' minimums.
To clarify the number of trailers permitted within the RC2 -3 zone. This
number is currently stated incorrectly in the Zoning By-law.
To add a 'campground' as a permitted use in the Recreational Commercial
(RC3) zone.
To add a 'campground' as a permitted use in the RC3-2 zone and remove
a 'church camp' as a permitted use.
