2022 Township of Central Frontenac Zoning By-law Update

Housekeeping Amendment to Correct Mapping Schedules

The Township will be considering an amendment to By-Law 2011-52 as amended by By-Law 2022-61 at its Council meeting on January 24, 2022 to correct the mapping to include the correct EP-1 overlay. A copy of draft by-law and updated schedules can be viewed in the Important Documents Section to the right.

PLEASE NOTE:

Following the approval of By-Law 2022-61, it came to staff’s attention that there was a technical error in the schedules (maps) relating to the EP-1 overlay projection. As a result the maps do not show the proper location of this layer. Council has directed that a housekeeping by-law be processed as soon as possible following the expiration of the appeal period on November 16^th. The correct version of the schedules which will be included in the housekeeping bylaw are provided here:

Village of Sharbot Lake

Kennebec

Olden

Oso

Hinchinbrooke

If you have any questions or concerns as to how this might impact your property please reach out to zoningupdate@centralfrontenac.com.

The township has now passed the comprehensive zoning by-law at its regular council meeting on October 25 2022 as By-Law 2022-61. The formal notice of passing can be found here: Notice of Passing October 25 2022 . By-Law 2022-61 is available here: 2022-61 - Amend By-Law 2011-25 (comprehensive zoning by-law).

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Thank you everyone for all your online contributions to this consultation. Although we've completed and submitted all your survey and comment submissions, the bylaw review process is scheduled to continue into the fall. Next steps are listed in the Lifecycle pane on this page. You're most welcome to pose any questions you may have via the Questions tab on this page, or via email zoningupdate@centralfrontenac.com.

The Official Plan for the Township of Central Frontenac was approved by the County of Frontenac in September, 2021. The next step in implementing the plan requires that the Township review its comprehensive zoning by-law. That's where you come in. We need your help and participation to complete that review.

The zoning by-law describes what uses may be permitted for individual lots of land, what buildings and structures may be constructed on them, and how far those structures must be set back from lot lines. It also describes rules for things like maximum permitted building height, requirements for parking, where docks and boat houses may be placed, whether and how recreational vehicles may be used or parked, whether home-based businesses may be permitted on individual lots, and many other matters. The zoning by-law applies to all land parcels in the Township and the regulations in it are intended to ensure safety for people and the natural environment, and to ensure that land is used sensibly and constructively among neighbours.

Reviewing the zoning by-law is a chance for all residents of Central Frontenac to determine how zoning affects their properties and to ask and answer such questions as:

• What are the zoning rules for my property and do those rules reflect how my property is actually used?
• Can I change zoning rules for my property? If so, how?
• Do the zoning rules for things like lot sizes, frontages, setbacks and density help or hinder development plans and possibilities?
• How do zoning rules help to protect the natural environment?
• What rules should apply for storage containers, fences, swimming pools, and accessory buildings on my land?
• Should new zoning rules be applied retroactively? If so, how?
• How can zoning rules be shaped to help to resolve land-use conflicts?

You can help us by providing your comments, your concerns and your suggestions on potential improvements or changes to the zoning by-law. As a starting point, please take the opportunity to review the zoning by-law and the zoning schedules for which there links on the right. You can also send us your questions and any submissions you may have via email to zoningupdate@centralfrontenac.com or drop off/mail to address the municipal office.
