Zoning By-law Amendment Application

INTRODUCTION

The City of Dryden Council is the approved body for Zoning Amendments.  Section 34 of the Planning Act sets out the process and requirements for Zoning Amendment applications.

The City of Dryden's current Comprehensive Zoning By-law is No. 2740-2000, as amended.  The zoning by-law regulates the use of lands in the city.  The zoning by-law contains maps and schedules which identify all properties and the zone in which they are located.  Each zone contains a list of permitted uses and regulations which control the size of lots, minimum frontages, parking requirements, etc.

If a use proposed for a property is not permitted by the existing zoning, approval of a Zoning By-law Amendment will be required by the City of Dryden Council prior to establishing the use.
